Happy for y'all...

Browns made the grade here... local station is broadcasting it. I wonder why???

And FYI... Sunday Ticket never shows a game if the local station is broadcasting it.

(But... shhhhh... it still shows up in the Mix Channel.)

Excellent point; thanks for the tip!

The first week the entire NFL ticket is free as a promotion for the rest of the season. I prefer to re-up prior to the beginning of the season...but week one is usually the free promotional week

Nor do we have WBNS here in Columbus; but never fear you / we will have The Ticket for free on opening weekend

Braylon is still out there. Maybe he will still want to play.

Braylon had one good year then went to pot. And I am not sure why...Any clue?

An odd fascination with being a hand model from what I recall

^^ This

...Sigh

So frustrating; but this is all his fault

Me!

Very sorry to hear this news; God bless

@gftchris said:

Does Ian Rapoport post anything actually reliable?

It appears doubtful; I wonder why he seems to have such a grudge with us?

@lbc-mike said:

so Manziel in the Tavern with us when he goes to the sideline? drink....type..... drink .....take a snap

Now this changes what I think of him; all for the better

I was all for drafting Richardson but was sadly disappointed with his performance; quite frankly odd demeanor. That said I wish him nothing but the best in Indyl; really hope we capitalize on the second pick of the first round

Murphy Brown perhaps....no wait

Has anyone even heard Lombardi speak?

Very very disappointed to wake up to this news; Hootie The Owl (Banner) and Jimmy better be right on this is all I can ask / hope for....sigh it is so difficult at times to be a fan of this team and supporter of our city

I hope you have a tremendous day Cal; all the best!

The Pats definitely had help yesterday. The "lowly" Browns were threatening a potentional AFC championship matchup between the Pats and Broncos and there was no way the NFL was going to let that happen. Too many advertising dollars at stake. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Exactly; this is entertainment and the folks that are in charge prefer NE and their market (as well as the broader national audience) to win in this situation. Keep the masses entertained with the majority happy, a minority upset but ALL still wrapped in full attention to their product. Never leave it in the hand of the judges, they have an agenda and it may very well not be in concert with your's

Without question I believe it is sports entertainment; with the emphasis on entertainment.

Did someone take off their boots?

I haven't read the entire thread but my favorite sex tape involving T rich is the one where the Browns f*** the Colts out of a first round draft pick. A real dawg and pony show.

( Hopefully I'm not repeating somebody's joke, I think I made this one up...)

WSS

Not sure if you made it up or not; but that was pretty damn funny...thanks man you made my day

Sorry I missed you all; had the oldest son with his girlfriend over for the game...and had to watch this complete BS game

Man that was horrid....well at least we know that we still need a starting QB

The Tavern does make the 3hr horror fest pretty fun actually.

It does; makes the pain tolerable.....
