Cha-ching! Plus an underrated D... including a couple of Browns castoffs.

@boo-fagley said: Lures work well too with an ultralight spinning rod. For trout it is like fishing and hunting combined because you have to search for the water that will hold fish. If you and your Son are coming to Missouri and you have time check out Montauk state park in Licking Mo. They have cabins and a motel for lodging. A store and restaurant. There is a trout hatchery on site, It is not uncommon for anglers to nab a 3 or 4 pound trout inside the park. Trust me, your son will never forget catching a 3 pound trout on a ultralight rod. You can flyfish too if you choose. You will see wildlife like never before. One time I saw at least a dozen hummingbirds together feeding off a bush. I always see an new animal or bird when I go there. It may be possible that we will get there either next summer or the year after that. Or maybe even at spring break. And Montauk is definitely a location I am looking at, though we would probably be staying at a resort somewhere around Lake Ozark. (how would it be there in early spring?)

@westside-steve said: Yep. Lord of the Rings was most certainly a milestone in my development. I read it before I read The Hobbit because of mister Tolkien's suggestion. Bill I've read Lord of the Rings somewhere close to or slightly over 20 times I have never been able to get through the Silmarillion. WSS Found the whole story extremely boring, just like the movies.

@calfoxwc said: LOL! My grandson & family are currently living with us and when I try to quietly get into the TV/playroom at this time of the morning I often am grumbling under my breath about his lego security system. Sometimes it's the pirates on his lego pirate ship that get my toes and feet. I swear they are throwing out lego anchors & chains to wreck havoc on me.

But I was stopped 2 weeks ago by a trooper just for him to remind me of the last time he stopped me. I hope he dies in a car explosion but rest of the Troopers I ever delt with have been decent people.

Indeed, well said. On that topic, it is poignant what Angela Merkel's comment were.

@marcus said: "All those 12-4 seasons that I obviously slept through that I missed; I didn't realize we could be picky so much." I made another thread where I talked about no shame in winning ugly and that the fact we didn't want to win ugly in Jax hugely contributed to our loss IMO. Lucky for you, I missed your other thread... Love the quote though, and agree... Whether frustration or simple Fan-Lite syndrome (or both), the demands that we jump straight from years of ineptitude to SB Champ is mind-boggling. @jrb12711 said:I probably saw it here but Pettine one time said "I'd rather take the negatives out of a win than the positives out of a loss". I've seen that around here, too... somewhere...

Gentleman, I've given this week's whoopin' a lot of thought. I've come to a few conclusions. First, the team expected to win just by putting on their uniforms. Then, when it was obvious that wasn't going to happen the coaches and team veterans or leaders failed to point out they were in for a fight. The first two drives should have told the whole team what kind of game they were in for. By the third drive;it should've been painfully obvious that taking the points was the correct choice. Then a deflated defense comes out and gives up a touchdown. But it was still a one point game. We come out in the second half and create more third and forevers by throwing the ball way too much and not making the throws or catches. By halfway through the 3rd quarter Jacksonville knew the game was theirs. All because this coaching staff and group of players that claimed to be so hot on toughness could not find it in themselves to get tough and win this game by an ugly score of 12-10, 13-10 or hell 15-10. It can't be pretty all of the time. This coaching staff and players may not like ugly wins but they should learn to love em.

Not sure how the Rumor started, but insiders down here in Sw fl say the Bucs are actually high on him. Z

josh Gordon and Brian Hoyer id keep...the rest can leave town and take a dump.

to work in the front office. Do you bear an unsettling resemblance to a penguinn or a walrus? Are you able to make fans beleive we are on the right path even though your team is going no where? Do you love slow untalented players more than your own mama? Are you content with being poor to medicore? Are you jewish? If the answer is yes to any of those questions, contact Randy Lerner immediatley. An employment opportunity may be waiting for you!

I really like McCoy's competitive spirit and wouldn't give up on him. However, I would also draft a QB with my first pick of the 2012 draft. The new QB wouldn't start until 2013 and only if I saw no progress with McCoy.

I'm a season ticket holder and I'm sitting here today feeling bad for my brothern who have plunked down just as big of money to fly in from all over this great planet to see these clowns and spend money in this great city. I'm merely in it for the camraderie of my fellow suffering Browns fan-friends. This is just horrible. You don't need a run-down of the game, because there wasn't a game. We were not even close to winning yesterdays game. The Browns offense was horrible and the only constellation is/was that the Raider fans have got to be flat-out embarrassed that their team actually played down to our level in order to even keep the game semi-close (score wise). WE know that we suck, but the Raiders needed two successful TD-scoring special teams plays to beat us by a single touchdown ... in honor of Al Davis. The NFL is the worst football played today in this great Nation. Pathetic game of mistakes is all it comes down too. The epic storyline was "Will the Raiders beat themselves, or will the Ref's balance the game for entertainment value" ... and the Ref's won a close one. Thank-God for Beer.
