About Thanksgiving, I like its spirit, being grateful about what we are given is important,  but nowadays any holiday can turn into a frivolity. Though I'd be more worried with Halloween (praising death and monsters? Really?)

Literally "praising" ? Nah.  Unless you're a devil worshipper or something.

It's pretend praising. Pretending to glorify monsters and death one night out of the year for fun is harmless. It's back to normal the next day.

It's like people who love to watch horror and monster movies, they're not praising death...rather they love being scared shi tless...it's fun to them.

I really do. People acting like animals, in a hurry, accidents, shootings, traffic jammed up. Schiddt football......seldom the Browns. Add to that we had to endure a fahcking bye week.

Thanksgiving is the most boring time of the year for me. I hate it. All this fackcking down time and i STILL have to wait 3 days for a faugking Browns game. Fauck Dallas and rest.of the schidtt they put on.

Yes Ghoolie but Thanksgiving is also time when we're supposed to give thanks for our blessings!  As a browns fan you should be thankful for a franchise QB, Myles Garret, Dorsey etc..  and the makings of a winning team!

@ghoolie said:

Stinks, you are sharing wisdom with many too stupid to understand. The concept that I can respect Ben, and the Steelers, and loath my own team for laying down like cowards since 1999 is lost here. Always, a Browns fan will tell you....

• The Steelers are lucky
• The Steelers always get the refs on their side, they get all the calls
• The only reason the Steelers have 6 SBs is that the teams they beat sucked (Tarkenton, anyone?)

So, the Steelers really suck, and still, the Browns can't beat them. It is the worst kind of mental masturbation imaginable. Again, I want the Steelers to remain tough. A Browns win against the Steelers while they are on top is a hell of a lot better than beating them should they become a 0 - 16 caliber mess.

So Ben sucks?  23 Tds, 10 Ints, 3,205 yards, QB rating of 96.9

Mayfield             13 TDs, 7 Ints, 1,984 yards, QB Rating of 87.5

So, if Ben Sucks, what does that say about Mayfield?

Again, hate the Steelers, but don't be an imbecile..........they are a good team.

I don't believe anyone is truly an imbecile though.

It starts with envy. Envy produces hate, then denial,  then looking like an imbecile...

There's not enough room for wisdom here....just look at the absurdity of Gips last post lol.

"Yeah a bad team found a way to get unlucky"

Whoever heard of "finding a way" to get unlucky? Being lucky or unlucky just happens.

Gee, that would mean the Steelers rather than just simply being lucky, found a way to be lucky!  What geniuses the coaches must be!

Hate and envy is powerful stuff. Look what it does to a pretty smart guy like Gip.

@the-gipper said:

Yeah a bad team found a way to get unlucky and an average team find a way to take a vantage of that so the Steelers are somewhere in the middle above average team and they took advantage of stupid mistakes made by a team that is playing below average 

LOL..you're too funny.

@the-gipper said:

They got lucky because  the Jags gave them a chance to come back....because the Jags did everything in their power to give the game away.  Just like they did in the AFC title game last year v. the Pats.    So, don't think that it is just the Steelers that the Jags choke against.    If the Steelers played competently, the Jags were going to do whatever it took to give them the game.  The Steelers did not blow the chances that the Jags gave them...its just that they got lucky that the Jags gave them those chances.

Great teams always seem to get lucky. Bad teams always seem to be unlucky. That's always been the nature of the beast in this game of football.

Yeah, you can say the Steelers were exposed.

Ex Steeler QB Landry Jones signed by JAX a few weeks ago just released today.

@hoorta said:

Duh, Exactly. I'm done, this is all hypothetical posturing until the current CBA runs out. 99.9% of all NFL fans could currently give a rats azz what might happen down the road. The Earth could get hit by an asteroid before it happens. 

It's damn hard to be sympathetic to an athlete that flipped the bird to a one year franchise tag that's at least 5 times more than the average fan will ever make in a lifetime. 

Keep spouting, and I'm locking the thread. 

Unless your name is Unsympathetic.

Looked like jags ran all over them.  Just sucks they had bortales at QB.

Well, yeah...then no.

The Steelers shut that shi t down in the second half.

I thought he was the black uncle fester not the black Barney Fife. And by the way the Browns get to beat the Sheet out of the Bengals twice not just once 

Rumors out of Cincy are that if the bengals lose to the browns twice Hue was gonna jump in the Ohio River.

@jrb12711 said:

Except that's absolutely 100% wrong. Players in the NFL want guaranteed money because the sport by definition is brutal. All it takes is one wrong hit and their career is over, and the only thing that saves them is a contract with guaranteed money. If a guy gets that money and decides to coast, that's an organizational problem. But the reason I noted of why guys want guaranteed money is something I could explain to my dog. C'mon now, use common sense. I won't ask if you agree or disagree with that because unlike what you said, there's no such thing as disagreement with my point. Hell, that's largely why the NFLPA exists. 

Bell by RB standards put on a grueling work load on his body since in the NFL. It's not wrong of him to want the money, guaranteed, that goes along with that. The owners of teams absolutely have the upper hand on contracts and always will. Non-guaranteed big money contracts mean crap cause all an owner has to do is snap his fingers and it's gone. This has been seen thousands of times. Get it together man.

So bottom line, $14.6 million was not enough for poor LaVeon?

One hit and their NFL career is over?  So?  They can start a career in the field of study that they graduated from college with...

I also know people with shot knees, hips, and shoulders that never played a down of football in their life, so save that sob story.

I would almost bet my life James Connor would not pull that Sheet.  A cancer survivor so grateful his favorite team took a chance on him. That would humble anyone.

@tour2ma said:

Connor's better than Bell? Remains TBD...

Better value right now... no argument there.

True, Connor being better than Bell still remains to be seen. I was only making a bold prediction based on what has already been seen...

... Conners performance vs. Bells in their rookie years.

As the season progresses, Conner continues to pull away from Bell in terms of rookie performance.

Conner outpaced Bell, 164 to 160 rushing attempts, and also in receptions, 39 to 33.

Conner has 11 touchdowns compared to Bell's 5.

The difference between the pair in yards gained also shows where Conner has really outplayed Bell.  

Through their first 9 games, Conner has 771 yards on the ground vs. Bell's 528 (and a higher average at 4.7 vs. 3.3).  Conner also has more receiving yards (386 vs. 319) and a better average (9.9 vs 9.67).

Another empty Cleve gotcha.

Most would criticize Obama because we all know what that azzhole was all about.

Trump has demonstrated over and over both by his words and actions that he is pro Armed Forces, pro troops, pro America...so if he wasn't there I'm not going to question it.

@dutch-oven said:

I don't quite understand why Browns fans would be mad at him for doing this. 

It's not your money, and it weakens the Steelers. 

I wish more Steelers players had sat out the whole year. 

It by no means weakens the Steelers.  Aside from Connor being better, the Steelers have 14.6 mil in cap space for next year.

That along with Shaziers contract being gone, it can only strengthen the Steelers...they need a top notch DB.

Heard that Jalen Ramsey wans out of Jax !

That's not surprising at all. Pew research did a study years ago that found liberals and conservatives having the same education and socioeconomic status....and it is the conservative who tends to be happier and satisfied with their life.

What the fukk do these libtards think would happen if every conservative/Republican disappeared and they were on their own? A Nirvana?

Gee, no more Conservatives, who would they blame for all their fukkups?

Would they really want this country overrun with illegals, have no problem with 3/4 of their paychecks going towards taxes, pay reparations to black folks for the sins of slavery, reward laziness (because its not really laziness, its oppression) etc. etc etc.

Uh oh! The only whites that blacks can blame for their oppression are liberals.

Guess who are the ones that begin to embrace conservatism now?

Bottom line is that while you liberals need conservatism,  conservatives don't need you.

This country would thrive if every liberal fukktard died and went to hell.

Way back in the day Unions, like the Democrat party had value.

Today both are worthless.

Libs freaking out over RBG's injury offer to donate their ribs. lol

Bell was proven eminently replaceable.   In fact...so was Conners.    He went out with a concussion last night and the Steelers running game did not really miss a beat.

That's kinda silly.

Connor went out in the 4th. He was averaging 5 yards a pop!

His replacements? ...fresh legs who went up against a worn out, beat up Panther D?

Ridley had 26 yds. and averaged 3.2 yards per carry...

Samuels had 7 monster yds on 5 carries.

If you want to call that "not missing a beat" OK...but it does not in no way shape or form prove that Connor is replaceable.

The kid is gonna be a star.

@hoorta said:

You're kidding right? You have a guy (Le'veon) who wants a cap busting deal, and already has 5 years worth of wear on the tires. OTOH Ward is locked in on a relatively cheap rookie deal, and shows signs of being one of the few shut down corners the Browns have ever had. Already looking better than Joe Haden in his prime. 

Man, the Steelers would take that trade in a New York minute, and say "thanks a lot- suckers".  

Yeah I was just goofing around.  That trade would never happen.

Love to have Ward. He's top notch for sure.

Bell is a potential HOF'er and would make the browns winners!!!!

How about Bell for that Denzell Ward character?

Ivanka Trump

 

8 hrs · 

Both political parties got good news yesterday, but the real winner was America.

With record turnout and sky-high participation, we saw an engaged, plugged-in democratic process at work.

Today, it's time to come together as Americans and work toward solutions that benefit all!

Ivanka just being nice.

It was not good news for democrats and all those thirsting for a "Blue Wave".

This was a huge victory. All the never Trumpers in the Senate are gone..outa here!

Trump right up there with Reagan:

The most House seats ever lost by a president’s party in power was Obama in 2010. He lost 63. Next was Bill Clinton in 1994. He lost 52. In 1958, Eisenhower lost 48, as did Ford and Nixon in 1974. They lost 48.
Lyndon Johnson in ’66, lost 47. Harry Truman in ’46 lost 45 seats. George W. Bush in 2006 lost 30. In 1950, Harry Truman lost 29. Reagan, in ’82, lost 26 seats, and in 2016 Trump is at 27 .

In the Senate everyone Obama campaigned for lost.

9 out of the 11 that Trump campaigned for won.
