@jrb12711 said: Hi Everyone, I just wanted to make a quick note that you'll be seeing less of me (Justin, aka jrb12711) for the rest of the season and who knows from there. I've gotten to know a good many of you here over the years, to include even meeting a few folks who I don't think post anymore. As some of you know I'm a father of two beautiful girls, and at 35 I've hit a crossroads (all good, but one nonetheless). With a lot of reflection over the last month or so, I realized that I'm just too attached to the things that don't matter as much, namely being too "online". Especially with the holidays coming up (and both my kids birthdays, and mine), I'm trying a new approach of getting off the reddit's, forums, etc and regrouping on this new phase of the journey. One thing that includes, for sure, is not giving too much energy to this sad sap of a football team for the rest of the season. It's starting to get to that beautiful part of the year here in S. Florida as well. In any event, I'm sure I may circle the wagon around draft time and hope you all are doing well. Crazy to think how many people (Zombo, Gipper, etc) have literally or figurately gone the past several years. I wish you all the best, God Bless and of course go Browns. Well s***. I always hate to lose guys that have a modicum of sanity. But be honest.. is that the real reason or is your AI chatbot getting jealous?? I've had a lot of s*** going on so I haven't been around as much as I used to be but feel free to stop in and say hi whenever you're in the neighborhood bud. WSS 

@tour2ma said: Accurraate account (there's video), but nonetheless the game was not over when helmet was removed during the play continuing after time expired. On-going plays at 00:00 go to completion. So not seeing my "wrong here". May I offer you a draw? Ill take the draw, & won't deny Rudd was a dumb***

Anyone say "butter"?

Freddie owning it right now. Wearing the "Pittsburgh Started It" shirt. LOVE IT. 

@mjp28 said: A cat/dog discussion?  What has the world come to?   No one wants to discuss that embarrassment of a game last Monday, so cats vs dogs wins.???

@sdbacker80 said: Bless em. I thought he was a diva with the Fins.  I was totally wrong.  Guy is 100% pro  This^^ I wasn't all that amazed on what we landed till the hard knocks guts spilled..? am like ok, we just landed a pick #74 Steve Smith attitude, in a pick #92 Hines Ward physical WR mind-set.  Obj just hit the top 200 all time in receiving yards(5784)..Jarvis is -56 yards short of hitting the top 250 in all time receiving yards(5342)... Jarvis was a pick #63 in the 2014 draft & only is age 26 till Nov.Also, has not missed a game in 64 straight games. Maybe the NFL got something right? All must Wear the right car crash helmets including AB.... Even Josh Allen may have a chance to play from concussion from last week

@tour2ma said: Could be our future 3rd QB... Just sayin'... Drew Stanton is 34, with a lifetime comp % of 52%. McCarron would be #2 Z

@dutch-oven said: Bobby Gordon hooking up with Billy Manziel in Vegas?  Doesn't that sound about right for those two.... And it's sad because one of 'em had the size, speed and talent to be in the Hall Of Fame.  Instead he's destined for the Hall Of Shame.

@bobpound said: Makes me love him even more...  There has to be a new word invented to describe the conflicted feelings male Browns fans are feeling all over this country.. He's a dude, but we love him.. BobPound! #BAKERMANCE'

Go watch the video of Rosen all the way through in this page.  It will change your mind about him. I don't see Socky in there. I do, however, see lucid and clear while demonstrating a grasp of [and ability to verbalize] intellectual nuance. He's accused of being "Socky" or "brash" ---- but what is NEVER described is (1) precisely where he "IS" on the scale of Socky and (2) Where every other athlete at UCLA currently exists on that same scale used to measure Rosen. For Rosen to be "too Socky" ... first, show me with LINKS how he's precisely equal to LiAngelo Ball in Sockiness.. they lived on the same campus.  Or, any other athlete on scholarship. News flash: It's a D1 school. D1 athletes are Socky whether you like it or not - it's who they always have been. Until it's shown that Rosen is MORE Socky THAN even an extremely Socky D1 athlete..........  This whisper campaign is BS.

I'm looking for any real signs of improvement. You would think our special teams would be showing a bit more pop but they have been as bad as other areas. Nobody standing out as a future force aka all pro.

Thanks If you mean the Chargers game, you can join our tailgate, It's all you can drink and eat for 20 bucks. See facebook event page below. https://www.facebook.com/events/1669620746701739/

@canton-dawg said: Absolutely, he used to be there. To paraphrase LeBron, "Father Time is undefeated." ....and he took Manning down in record time.....poof!

@jrb12711 said: I think Mike & Mike said it best yesterday essentially noting it's 2015-we have cameras all over the field and people are watching the game like never before. It makes the whole game look bad when this type of crap happens, so fix it. Start small if you have to like the MLB to review out or safe and build from there. It's just inexcusable to let such a bonehead moment have a huge impact. With all the cameras out their still been many times a ref cannot turn play because it still is inconclusive. But if your only job was to coach special teams the Lions ST coach blew it Too..

Maybe its a contract year for the referee's union. Perhaps they want to prove that THEY control this game, not the teams.

@gftchris said:They've expanded it? I'm sure a year ago it was only available outside the US, and you guys had something else. I dont know....I had it all of last season too, but that was the first year for me.....

@jrb12711 said: That's what I'm saying here. I get what you're saying Tour that this is the first kid Shanny doesn't have his daddy to fall back on. I just feel very strongly his style of play doesn't work at a consistent level in the NFL. To me, he scripts what he's called A LOT. I'm going to assume he and Manziel are here next year. If so, I hope he takes a long look at things and realizes Manziel needs to win or lose from the pocket. The best pass he's had as a brown was the dart there in a normal, clean pocket. I'm not ready to lose all hope on Manziel but he will fail 100% if Shanny keeps calling the game like he has, that I'm sure of. Bingo... thus my use of "out of the nest". The scripting is an interesting observation. I've commented before about his sacrificing plays to set up plays... kinda chess-like. So certainly having scripted pairs fits. Lately though it seems like teams are ready for both 1a and 1b. The 28 yard pass to Hawk is the play I'm sure you are referring to... and, yes, far and away, it was JM's best. But it had not only a secure pocket, but a comfortable throwing lane.

Dang, just to let others who may see this know the beverage wrist band is sold out. Looks like it's a flask for me!

@nickers said:Sounded like he was gloating so much. I don't believe it,really. Yeah, because writing about how I lost all the money I made in Vegas is gloating. I'm not quite sure you understand what that word means. Why would I even lie about having a rich father in law? What would that possibly bring me? Hell sometimes I don't even like it sometimes, the wealthy culture and I are on opposite spectrums of personality. I swear some people on this board are so depressing. Anyway, back to the point: Steelers suck, and if you're a Browns fan who wants to win money on them you're a jackass like me.
