@the-gipper said: Do you mean you are going to be at Radio City Music Hall? Yes. I live in NYC. I only have tickets to day 2. They give out tickets to day 1 the night before at midnight. With the Devils playing there game 7 on Thursday I have now decided to not go wait online for draft tickets. If anyone is in the area though you can get tickets to days 2 and 3 for free. My buddy actually might still have 2 extras for day 2 if anyone is interested in hanging w a Browns fan, Niners fan and Jets fan.

I'm going to wager that Burfict will find a difficult time getting picked up as an UDFA

@ninersfan said: Why do you find it necessary to walk into somebody elses house and disrespect them? I am ashamed of some of my 49er brethren. 7 weeks ago most fans/media had us going 6/10 - 9/7 at the very best. I even recall a few pundits saying we were going to be front runners in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. Dont come in here talking smack like we are the new big, bad, bully on the block. Because truth be told, we havent won sh!t yet. That "Salty" Browns defense could knock Alex and Gore out and then where would we be? Look what they did to Oakland and their playoff hopes. The Browns single handedly shut the door on Oaklands playoff run in week 6 of the NFL season. Idiot Niner fans is right, we havent done SH!T yet!!! I wasn't talking crap, I was responding to his post with my opinions based on facts. This is a message board, it's for discussion. I did not insult him, I was stating my reasons why I thought the niners would win. Maybe you should stop reading so much in to other people's posts and just enjoy the ride.

I thought he was a decent backup.. Maybe he didnt like playing second fiddle on the roster list or thought he was going to be cut? Wish he would have said why he quit especially if it is health or personal reasons but since he didnt say it doesnt really matter, he is just a quitter..

That's unfortunate. I've watched Carlton at usf and he was great for us. He's a good guy and I hope he gets a chance to play.

@xfl2001fan said: Tatupa is a MLB...and I've heard that DQ is our projected Sam backer. I believe Gocong is our MLB. I have read both that Dqwell will play in the middle or outside. I am almost positive that in one of either Heckert or Shurmers pressers on ClevelandBrowns.com they said that he was going to be the middle backer though and that they were excited about what they thought he could do there. (obviously the excited thing I take with a grain of salt ... but I can't see why they would say he is the middle linebacker as a smoke screen??) Like I have said I am excited about Dqwell in the middle, but if Tatpu can help the Browns I am all for it. He could potentially be a nice small under the radar signing that really helps us out. Especially if DQ can play outside well because I have an AWEFUL feeling about Gocong.

@miktoxic said: i didn't say anything about overpaying anyone. i'd like to see our so-called great FO show some interest in making some moves, not just heckert helping out his old team or mangini helping out his (sanchez back in the day). we sign a DT from heckert's blow boys when our needs are at CB and DE and WR. hell did cincy overpay clements? he got cut from the niners, how's he going to force anyone's hand? i betcha he'd rather have signed with us than the bengals. what do you think? who's the dink now? I think we did need that depth at DT....as much as at DE. Sure, the Browns need help at those other positions, but that does not mean that we should not shore up the DT spot. Now that they apparently have the DT spot resolved, they can look at those other positions. As much as Heckert & Co. say they are not going to be that active in FA, that doesn't mean they are done.

Colt is a really great kid. And assured me that we are headed in the right direction. Hopefully he knows something we don't. He is a really likable kid though and I am rooting for him more then ever before

@albinorhino40 said: And... I will almost guarantee that IF we take a WR in FA, other than UDFAs, the only one we will take is Mark Clayton due to his success last yr in Shurmur's system b4 his injuries Claytons success might be more attributed to his great raport with Sam Bradford then Shurmers system. Before Bradford and Clayton were even on the Rams the would workout together in the offseason at Oklahoma (CLayton was an alumni while Bradford was there) and they developed a tight friendship. I had even heard that Bradford asked the Rams to go after him.

@jnuh said:I know he wasn't brought in to stretch the field, but he was brought in to not turn the ball over and his track record the past couple season tells a different story. The interceptions worry me the most. Also when I started this thread I asked a simple question which was... what QB would you have like to see our Brownies bring in and everyone has avoided that question and just commented about Delhomme. I can't possibly imagine that everyone who has posted in this thread wanted Delhomme before we got him. It is kind of slow around here and I was interested in hearing different people opinions, but I haven't really gotten that at all. For me McNabb and Delhomme were the two best options out there, I liked Cambell to but I dont no if he's the leader we were looking for. McNabb would have been my top choice but that didnt happen and we didnt have to give up draft picks to get Delhomme. Im confident we can win games with Jake and its a big upgrade over last year. All together im happy we got a proven Vet a backup thats capable and a young guy to groom for the future.

I have an extra ticket. LMK. Its free.

From Terry Pluto of the Plain Dealer: "12. If former Jets and Bengals receiver Laveranues Coles still is looking for work this summer, it wouldn't be a shock if the Browns give him a look. He was a disappointment with the Bengals, who paid him $9.5 million for 43 catches (29 first downs) and five touchdowns. He played for Mangini, and they have respect for each other. No matter what the Browns say, they need a veteran receiver. Coles is 32. I'll now make my monthly pitch to sign Torry Holt, the 33-year-old receiver who is available and can help the right team. " From me: Wow, I didn't know that the Bengals paid Laveranues Coles that much $, and with this knowledge now I too have soured on Laveranues. I thought he looked good last year, but not at that cost. Terry Pluto is a Holt fag ... like me!
