I respect your organization for building a good team. But every single Stoolers fan I know has been celebrating their 7th Super Bowl victory for the past two weeks. Well, it turns out you have to show up and actually win the game. You guys got cocky, and it came back to bite you in the ass.
Congrats to the Packers. They definitely deserved it.
If Gruden took Dungy's team to the Super Bowl, couldn't you just as easily say that Bill Callahan took Gruden's Raiders to the Super Bowl the same year?
I don't like Gruden, but he deserves credit where credit is due.
I kind of got the impression that Mangini is a bit reserved in heaping too much praise on him because he doesn't want too much unnecessary pressure on the kid. I'd prefer that he focuses on the next opponent and improving his game rather than worry about trying to be the next Kosar.
NE has two picks in each of the first 4 rounds. The extra 2nd is from Carolina.
Quote of the day: From Morris, on Browns QB Jake Delhomme, a former NFC South rival with the Panthers: "He's going to know our defense as good as one of our vets on our own team. He might know it better than some of our young players. He probably knows it better than Cody Grimm right now. When you go into the game, you got to understand that and know that he knows that you know that he knows."
Look.... we all know that you know that Raheem Morris knows that Jake Delhomme knows that Morris knows that Jake knows your defense better than some of your players. So just give it up.
I really wasn't aware that the Bengals even had fans.
Larry will be good, thi year most likely will be on special teams, Lets get this show on the road, cant wait till preseason. Just to give you guys a heads up for NFL Sunday ticket this year, Last year I payed 275 and this year its over 300 for the same crap. I dont know why it went up but it did, I will pay it like always but this is getting really expensive.
Never pay full price for Sunday Ticket. Just call DirecTV and tell them you think it is way too expensive, and you'd rather just cancel unless they have some deals going on. They'll offer you $20 off per month. I've done this three years in a row now. There is a thread about it at OBR where a bunch of people have done the same.
I asked if they still had online viewing like last year (one game on my TV, and I keep an eye on my fantasy players on my pc), and they told me online and mobile viewing was another $10 per month, but they would throw it in for free because I'm "a valued customer."

And How many NFL players are trolling bars hitting on these young hot ladies ? Sad but true... If you think Ben is alone here you are indeed Naive !
I don't know, how many? Most don't seem to be accused of rape (once, let alone multiple times), so I guess we don't hear about them as much as Ben.
If it is only the people on this board that think he did it they why are you guys so upset? Why are we worth so much of your time to argue lame reasons of why he couldn't have done it? Because you know he did and you are in denial. Keep trying to rationalize, it only looks more ridiculous. The longer you are here trying to convince us that he can't possibly be guilty the sadder it looks. You guys have total blind faith in him.
Hey, I'm not off on some Steelers board bitching about him. You guys are the ones that feel that you have to go to a Browns board to plead his case.

Well ... NO CHARGES FILED. Obviously the State Bureau OF INVESTIGATION , WASN'T BUYING THE WHOLE STORY .
I don't think you understand the difference between "not buying the whole story" and "not having enough proof." Just because they didn't have enough evidence to charge him doesn't mean he didn't do it.
You guys are ridiculous. You completely believe that he put himself into a very bad situation, and admit that his lifestyle "is nothing to be proud of." Yet you cannot believe that he actually did force himself on this girl (any apparently others)? Sorry, but you're in denial.
Steelers fans, please enlighten us. At what point does the young lady start to lie?
Was it when she and her friends met him at the first club? The second club? Or the third club, Capital City?
Or was that much true, but he did not buy shots for the underage girl?
What about when one of his bodyguards lead the girl down the hall and sat her on a stool? Please tell us at what point her story turns into a lie.
Was everything up to this point true, but she is lying about him whipping it out in front of her? Or was it consensual up till this point?
Or how about when her friends spoke to the owner, and bodyguards would not let the pass? Is this where they started to fabricate their story?
How about when they immediatley went to the first police officer they could find? Maybe they left the club, had a laugh, and said "hey lets go find a cop, tell him about how we got drunk with a famous QB (even though she'd be openly admiting to underage drinking), then make up a story about how he raped you!"
Or could it possibly be (gasp) that what she is saying is true, but it just so happens to be difficult to prove beyond a resasonable doubt in a court of law, and she is scared to go up against someone who has a giant pile of money to spend on a crack legal team who would undoubtedly portray her as a whore who is just making a money grab in the national media?
Seriously, which is more likely in your mind? That all of these details are true, EXCEPT the part about him forcing himself on her?
Or that perhaps her and her friends' story is true?
Sorry, but don't be all upset that people assume he's guilty. That's the way he acts, and that's the way people will view him. He brought it on himself and has to deal with the consequences.
Those 3's and 5's enable us to move up in the draft. We'll probably end up with a couple second rounders, like this past year.
Cribbs threw a touchdown pass a season or two ago
He threw a 2pt conversion.

A 130lb guy at a bar IN CLEVELAND got under his skin. How do you think the jamokes in New York will treat him in the bars after one of his "dropsies" games. I figure he'll end up dead by the end of the year....
Good point. If he thought he took a lot of flak in Cleveland, the NY fans lets alone the NY media are going to be a big surprise for him.
You guys should know that Adam Schein is a NY based "journalist" who has admitted his hatred for Mangini on the air. He was calling for Mangini's firing when he was 8-3 last year. I doubt Adam Schein is a reasonable source of information much less an unbiased one.He's a tool.
Adam Schein might just be the most obnoxious human being on the planet.
I am going to list 5 Big questions in regard to the Browns AFC North opponents. Se what semi-legit answers can be come up for these. (Yes, I am patterning this after a radio show). First, the Ravens:1. Will it be Flacco or Fluke-o? Rookie QB Joe Flacco "led" the Ratbirds to an AFC Title game appearance last year. Will he continue his steady play, or will he suffer a sophomore slump?
I think he'll continue his steady play, but I don't see him lighting anyone up. Maybe against weak opponents, but I don't think he can carry that team on his shoulders just yet.
2. Will age and the loss of their defensive coordinator of the last several years catch up to the Ravens defense?
No. With Reed, Suggs, Lewis and Ngata, I think Bugs Bunny could call the defense and they'd still be solid.
3. Do the Ravens have anyone that constitutes a playmaking receiver or a legitimate downfield threat?
No. But they still somehow manage to make due with Mason.
4. Will the only transplanted Cleveland Brown, Matt Stover, still be kicking for the Ravens this year?
I could be wrong, but I thought they did cut him?
5. What will be the Ravens final record in the 2009 season?
9-7 would be my guess.

He won't get cut. We need him while Harrison gets up to 100 percent. He's more likely to be phased out like Edge.
I think this is more likely the case. I'm not huge on Lewis, but we just don't have the depth and experience to cut him.
Both QB's were there.
I saw it last night as well, and I wasn't too impressed. I thought the idea was great, but it there were just too many plot holes.
And I'm sorry, but Signs sucked. Aliens that die from water? Come on. That would be like us invading a plant that is 70% covered in acid.
