This is a new one for me too. I wish I could be in eastern France this year for whatever ceremonies may be held at the American Cemeteries at the St. Mihiel Salient and the Meuse-Argonne.  My grandfather was a Capt. in charge of a towed 8 in. howitzer battery at both major American battles there. My older brother & wives visited that first one and walked the battlefield at both places in his footsteps as provided in his daily diary of his experiences there. I'm certain there will be ceremonies commemorating the 100 anniversaries of each battle coming up in the fall. https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A0geKWL3b.9aYkQAcaUPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTByMjB0aG5zBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=american+cemetery+st+mihiel+france&fr=yhs-pty-pty_forms&hspart=pty&hsimp=yhs-pty_forms https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A2KLfaBLcO9a9XQAWrsPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTByMjB0aG5zBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=american+cemetery+meuse+argonne+france&fr=yhs-pty-pty_forms&hspart=pty&hsimp=yhs-pty_forms

@slowburn said:Dude looks lean at 240 lbs on tv footage. Should he put on 10 - 20 lbs? About the right range... And 240 must be his "program weight"... Looked more like 230 in 1st pre-season game...

@kennel-club said: You forgot the warm beer!!!! He's not properly British, we just claimed him because he was good at something Born in Croydon in south London to Nigerian parents, Okoye began training full-time in the discus in September 2010 after a promising career as a junior rugby union player.[2] In his first international outing he came sixth at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics. He won a gold medal at the 2011 European Athletics U23 Championships in July 2011 at the age of 19. Nigerian parents, so presumably - without wanting to stereotype - he was brought up on chicken, rice, beans and strict discipline. Usually a good recipe for an athlete!

@dab7291993 said: We need to use a lot of players better. Like, say Trent Richardson should have more screens/outside runs. Amen. youd think our coaches were trying to wear this guy out in a losing season getting pounded up the middle for a yard or two...

After we got the penalty to move up to the 25, I thought, with Weeden's arm you scrap the jump ball and rifle in a crossing route into single coverage. I thought that was an opportunity ... but we (over) threw a jump ball to the back of the end zone. The pass to Norwood was the best play we called and I would have gone back to something similar while sending decoys to the back of the end zone. Zombo

@hoorta said: He's essentially wants to bet Joe Thomas will never play in a playoff game for the Browns. Or Pashos will play in one first for some other team (damn unlikely) Does that bet cover Arena League playoff games?

For instance would you give up a 15yd Penalty on tied game on Pit 10yd line with 4 mins left in game by having one of your defenders hit Rothlesberger on the head knowing he will get taken out of the rest of the game to be tested for concussion, when the hit would never keep him on the field before. I think your example is flawed, because, if it were just a 15 yard penalty, then yes, go for it. Now, instead of just a 15 yard flag, you're getting fined thousands of dollars and then sitting out for a game or two. Would your absence from the upcoming games be worth taking him out? Okay, well, to counter that, you could just put some 3rd stringer in and tell him to clobber the QB in the face. Well, if something like that happens, I can see the NFL fining and punishing entire organizations if something like that were to occur.

Ban that gorilla Harrison for life.

Fall from grace? what the fuck are you smoking FALL???? They went 4-1 Wins Vikings Cheifs Dolphins Broncos-Tebowless Loss Patriots What makes you think they were in grace at all because their next 5 games hit Loss JETS Chiefs Packers Raiders Bears all except the chiefs to me are contenders and Let's be honest the Chargers beat a majority of the crap and lost every single game against 500+ teams chargers just aren't good this year.

@mark-o said: That's awesome....we can't even run a trick play correctly. I remember how ridiculously exciting it was to watch that play unfold though. Well, actually, that play was run "Successfully" if not "correctly" in that it gained quite a bit of yards and no penalty was called on the play as apparently it should have.

Watch all or go to about 34 sec in, this made be piss myself so funny

I dont care for 2 and out regime policies but i also dont like the idea of getting stuck with a bad or the wrong regime for 10 years either.. A legit regime needs 3 years minimal but if it is not succeeding in 3 years or at least closing the gap on success it should be terminated.. In the case of the lerner browns and 12 years of mismanagement and bad clueless ownership it could take 4 years for a legit regime to get the team back on track but with no owner looking over their shoulder and only a 5 year contract for huge money why would they care?

@kamac19 said: NFL Messing with good thing again Why does the NFL feel the need to mess with things so much, I mean if they are wanting to reduce the amount of injuries they see coming from Kickoff returns, they might as well go the whole hog and scrap them altogether, just get teams to start from the 25yd line after every score. I dont know about everyone else, but I think Kick-off's are one of the most exciting parts of the game as we know it now, the chance of the likes of Cribbs or Brad Smith running back a Kick-off 100yds for a score gets the stadiums buzzing and can change the course and momentum of games so much. I just hope the owners see sense and leave it as it is, there is enough shit going on with their league at the moment without messing around with rules such as these. Think big not small....the most dangerous play in football that causes the most injuries is the kickoff......make less of em returned ..........less injuries ...smart move but keep focused on Josh Cribbs.......LOVE THE GUY....but he is taking US NOWHERE..........and he gets a hit by the rule......so do some other short lived not long for life NFL players Good move NFL

@gips said:With just a couple more pieces and some time on the field McCoy will rule the league in the WCO, however at this point our aging mediocre defense and its incoming changes coupled with a new style of offense may not fare so well for the browns weary frustrated fans this upcoming season, it should be better watching us lose trying to win rather than playing to lose and we still should win at least 7 games if it starts coming together early.. what a novelty........playin to win.....muuuurahhhhhaaaaa

I am not aware of how he was treated while with the Browns so I can't speak for him but pulling the race card out all the time is just crazy. If it were warranted then I would agree but he has to have a good reason if he thinks it was a race issue, but honestly, I don't believe that it was a race issue. Why would you be discriminating against the all time greatest running back in NFL history? I don't buy it.

Adam Schefter tweeted this " Chad Jones' agent says doctors are optimistic that Jones can return to football as soon as next year (2011)."

@speedyd900rr said:Im pretty sure the accountant that the player's hire handle all the bills, financial planning, estate planning and all of that. I dont think this guy goes around checking out all his clients water bills making sure they paid them on time. Anyway's he's jewish so he was raised on the belief that it's ok to swindle people out of their money so I will give him that. If it were me, id rather keep that extra $250,000 he makes and tell the club how much I will play for and how much I wont play for. That not only is a very stupid statement , it borders on disturbing . shalom
