There you go....I have actually had Oklahoma Joe's ribs....good stuff.

I still think Dreamland in Tuscaloosa or Birmingham, Ala is better, but Joe's is pretty darn good.

These guys had better start upping their beef order too. Best KC Steakhouses

I've eaten at the Golden Ox & Hereford House (checking out the best steak joints in town is one of my avocations) and I'll attest to their quality.

Well, you know it is not totally unlike Hot Sauce Williams here in Cleveland which has a great reputation for barbecue. Even Anthony Bourdain went there when he was in Cleveland.

I've been to Arthur Bryant's- a long time ago. Interesting place for having a national reputation. A hole in the wall joint in a bad part of town. They just toss your ribs directly on a plastic cafeteria tray. But you should see the stuff hanging on the wall from people who have eaten there- including a couple of presidents.

when you have millions of dollars, I would think that most people would find something better to do than "sit around and do nothing all day".

While the Krispy Kreme express will enjoy solid coordinating on both sides of the ball im not so sure that daboll will provide the browns with the same ,it may be a wasted year unless mangini rids himself and us of this somewhat uncreative newbie OC before TC begins..

The 60-year-old Crennel still had two years remaining on the five-year deal he signed in 2005. The extension, believed to be worth about $4 million (2.7 million) per season, takes Crennel through the 2011 season.

So if he accepts this job in Kansas City, Randy Lerner saves about 4 million dollars.

That all depends on what the Chiefs sign him for though. If they sign him to league minimum which is close to 900k a year then we will have to pay him the difference per year so 3.1 (1.8) million. Again they could sign him for more than that though.

I am fairly confident I know what i am talking about also.

+1 that's my understanding of the situation- the Browns are still on the hook for his HC salary, minus whatever KC pays him. BTW, I heard somewhere the money RC got for doing those Coors Lite commercials deducted what he got from the Browns too.

Coach Romeo Crennel signed a two-year contract extension with the Cleveland Browns, his reward for helping turn around a NFL franchise in disarray for most of the past decade.

That sounds great.

I had a pretty good work ethic, but I wouldn't take a job paying less than unemployment until unemployment ran out.

The whole purpose of unemployment is to give you the opportunity and time to find something better.

To do anything differently is stupid.

yes they would, because they love the game. I can get fired and collect unemployment, maybe more for what I could get with another job, doesn't mean I want to sit around and do nothing all day.

But, I did hear something on First Take about this, and they were debating whether or not Romeo should take this job, or sit at home and receive the 18(?) million he was supposed to receive from us for the duration of his contract. The way they were talking, they made it sound that if he were to get a job elsewhere, he would immediately stop getting the money from us. I wasn't paying too much attention, because outside of Jay Crawford I have no loyalties to that show.

that wouldn't make any sense, because then fired head coaches would never take jobs as an assistant right after(who get paid less than the previous contract obviously).
