Cavs vs Celtics, gonna be tough. 

Hopefully Jarrett Allen gets better.

I've always preferred the FOX pregame show. They keep it light.

Plus, I just can't stand Bill Cowher. Of course, if idiot Modell would have picked him over BB id be singing a different tune🤣

I still say Houston should have been stripped of those picks, they enabled Watson.

Go Browns

Speaking of BYU...

Drinking coffee and farting around on the laptop with ESPN on... 30 for 30 Bears 1985 show on now.

It never ceases to amaze me that Jim McMahon went to BYU... makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. 🤣

That was a fun team to watch, I turned 10 during the season.

I think it was the best "one season" team I ever saw. They truly destroyed everybody except the Dolphins on MNF.

Browns taking a mean - a$$ LB at #54 #woof

Remember when the  starting  pitching eas the strength of the team ?  Then the bullpen ?  And  it's only  GAME 19 with 143  to go.

Yes  (12-6) is a solid start. (13-6 .684 in MLB)  is even better !

Plus beat NYY & BOS,   Nice.   

Yep. Fenway has been a rough place for the Tribe.

Okay,  time for Carruso and the Guardians to win another series in 2024.

GAME 4 of 4 -  GAME 19 -  THU APR 18 in BOS  at 1:35 pm - Carrusco  vs  Criswell

CLE  4-1  bottom 4,   BSX  Helping Carrasco so far. 5-1 to bottom 5.  Rain continues to fall,  some ponchos out.

CLE  5-4 top 6.  Looks like an offical and CLOSE game all of a sudden.  Another  BALKed in run.   GEEEZZ.

 

Great start to the season so far. 

I'm afraid Mckenzie is heading to IR. They're going to have to go out & get somebody in the rotation.

So when will he be ready to go? Well, that depends, as Watson explained (quotes via a team-provided transcript😞

“I mean, the plan is to come back whenever they feel like, and I feel like we’re on the same page, that we’re ready. So there’s not a timeline or a date that we have that this is when I’m going to be 100 percent. It’s just kind of how the process goes … It can be sooner than later, it can be later than sooner. I think it just really depends on how each landmark we hit and how fast we can get it and how my shoulder is reacting.”

For those keeping score at home, “they” is referring to the Browns training staff, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the Los Angeles-based surgeon who operated on Watson, and Watson’s group, which includes his quarterback coach Quincy Avery.

---------  

Clear as mud...

They simply don't know, and don't want to put a date on things (the media will over blow it if the date comes after the fact). 

No need to draw any conclusions, but it certainly looks like he may not be ready at training camp. No QB has had this kind of surgery before.

Great news....Browns & Chubb sign a deal, although it's only a 1 year deal. Reduced salary with incentives.

Hopefully he can return to form & stay longer.

only thing that sucks is.If we play in London sometimes the game is not televised and even if it is, Living on the west coast it is way to early in the morning

You'd probably have to stream it.

If the Browns play in Germany someday, I'd go. Then take a train to the Swiss Alps, Lake Geneva....Smoke on the Water lol

I sure hope so.

If the Browns get sent overseas, I'd prefer Europe.

Totally sucks.

Well, he's a free agent after this season. One of the wealthy teams will sign him.

Oh Please tell us how you kinda fucking get it.

The Browns aren't flashy, like KC or Miami with big plays. 

Doesn't bother me at all, as long as they win. I think that's why some fans aren't in Stefanski 's corner.

I didn't realize anyone would ever miss the 1-15 football followed by 0-16 football we had to endure a couple years or so before Stefanski arrived.  I was wrong...

Yep. The Browns are going in the right direction for a change. 

Nobody really knows what's going to happen this coming season, but I like our chances

the problem for me is there's nothing special or clever about Shitmypantskies offense and theres nothing special about him... "yawnnnnn"

Well, I kind of get it but the Browns move the chains & score points nowadays.

Also, they actually win division games, & home games. 

#woof

I'm glad they extended Stefanski & Berry. It's not perfect but the facts are the Browns have been more stable and competitive during their reign. 2024 poses some challenges with a more difficult schedule (on paper, a 2nd place schedule).

Regarding Chubb, he's the heart & soul of the team. I don't envy Berry's position- you've got to get a deal done but there's the fear of the unknown. Chubb seems "ego-less" but needs compensation. 

The draft will be interesting. I want LBs but maybe the smart thing is to draft O linemen, as they aren't getting any younger.

I can't stand Angel Reese, and "America's Basketball Sweetheart" Caitlin Clark is a flopping, whiny crybaby. 

So go South Carolina. 🤣

Angel Reese is a goof, but looks great in a bikini!!

I think the Browns need an impact LB. Would there be one on the board at #54?

I saw a couple stories about how longtime Buffalo Bills season ticket holders have seen their prices skyrocket with the new stadium coming... 

Not only that, they scrapped a "seniority" method on first dibs. They give the season ticket holders who have the pricier seats preference. People who have had season tickets in Buffalo since the 60s are understandably upset.

I think a dome is what will happen, and season ticket holders will be gouged on PSLs. 

There was talk years ago about putting a stadium on the post office land downtown (Orange Ave.). I have no idea if that's still even possible. The City of Cle will do whatever they can to keep them there IMHO.

I'm having trouble understanding the problem with "Citizens United" Supreme Court ruling.

https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/citizens-united-explained

"

What was Citizens United about?

A conservative nonprofit group called Citizens United challenged campaign finance rules after the FEC stopped it from promoting and airing a film criticizing presidential candidate Hillary Clinton too close to the presidential primaries."

*****************************

So, THAT part of it - is excellent. They had no right to tell Citizens United that they were not allowed to do a video on higgardly clinton for whatever reason they had. "too close to the election" ???? baloney.

However, Bob, the unlimited expenditures by the wealthy funding the giant PACs and Super PACS - that is very bad. The basis seems to be a "First Amendment" issue - but giving the rich (either side) unlimited control - compared to the common folks - broaching "election interference" maybe. That part of it needs to go. The first and primary reason - needs to stay.

****************************

"That’s because leading up to Citizens United, transparency in U.S. elections had started to erode, thanks to a disclosure loophole opened by the Supreme Court’s 2007 ruling in FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life, along with inaction by the IRS and controversial rulemaking by the FEC."

***************************

SO, before the half? wrong decision of Citizens United, transparency was already eroding. Again, the FEC sued "Wisonsin Right to Life over poltiically targeted "rule making" by the FEC.

So, it isn't valid to blame republicans for "Citzens United" and "Wisconsin Right to Life" - you should blame the corrupt dems/deep state actors for screwing with those groups, forcing the courts to get involved to stop the unfair political targeting.

    Again - the decision to open unlimited spending to PACS and Super Pacs - was an asinine result? that I don't get why they would have gone there.

   If the corrupt FEC hadn't tried to provide cover for higgardly, it would never have gone to court.

Good stuff Cal, but yeah, why did the ruling go that far? It's seriously altered campaign donations and created even more bipartisan Congressional behavior- the reps, whether D or R are now cow-towing to the donors and not the people. The Koch Bros. pushed hard for this (the right wing equivalent of Soros). 

I'm wondering if any politician is going to go out on a limb and basically cut their own throat to change this. Let's face it, this dark money is how people like AOC, McConnell, etc. get to be multi-millionaires on a $150K salary.

Round up all the demonrats and ship them off to Canada and I'll bet the Reps could solve all our woes.

A hypothetical....if you had the choice of only one partytaking on the responsibility of putting this country back on the right track, with no interference, which party do you feel be better suited..., the Reps or the Demons?

That should really be a no brainer.

 

 

 

It should be a no brainier, but it isn't.

Yes, the Dems have truly shifted far from the center. They've lost me on many issues. Their nominee (Biden) shouldn't be the nominee.

I simply cannot trust the Rs. Senate Bill 5 in Ohio. Nationally they held all the cards from 2016-2018 & didn't fix Obamacare.

Republicans lead the charge on the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, a D_I_S_A_S_T_E_R for our country. They need to admit their mistake there and run on campaign reform before I take their party seriously.

If Trump hadn't already served a term as President, yeah I'd consider voting for him.

oh, horsehockey. lol

the choice to save America and drain the corrupt dangerously powerful swamp,

I forgot the Republicans can solve all our woes 😂

The smart thing to do is to not vote D or R this November.

Typical case of management ignoring the work force. 

NFL owners want points scored, bottom line.  

The game we grew up loving is close to not being recognizable.
