  1. It's not exactly a strong overall unit. Not weak, but I wouldn't consider it a strength. I still feel optimistic about Njoku, he played much better as the season went on.
  2. Speaking of Skynyrd, anyone see the new documentary "If I Leave Here Tomorrow" about them? Been on Showtime, it's really good.
  3. Definitely easier to pass now than it probably ever has been... plus players are in much better shape because of advanced knowledge on fitness, strength, diet, etc...
  4. I think an argument could easily be made that no "dynasty" QB has had less talent on offense around him as Tom Brady. The Patriots aren't likable, but what they've done is wicked impressive. We may never see anything like this again, or for a long time.
  5. They also had the greatest coach in football history, which didn't hurt.
  6. About 10 or so years later we had one rip through Newton Falls and Niles. Pretty horrific.
  7. You make an interesting point jiggins, and many people who follow the Browns thought that Corbett was going to be the eventual replacement for Tretter at center, not Zeitler at guard.
  8. That's a pretty fair assessment. Hell, most people when asked who was the best NFL QB who played at Alabama would instinctively say "Namath" without considering Starr. I guess Starr wasn't flashy enough.
  9. Don't be so hard on yourself, buddy.
  10. Well that's a bit troubling...
  11. What's handy is that West Virginia jokes can be used for Steeler fan jokes rather easily, since the subject manner involves similar demographics. What's a family tree of a Steelers fan look like? A Xmas wreath. What's unique about a couple who are Steelers fans getting married? All the couple's family sits on the same side of the church. How do you know a Steelers fan invented the toothbrush? Because anyone else would have called it a 'teethbrush'.
  12. Oh, I see. To be honest the Browns forum is the only one I ever really bother to look at. You couldn't pay me to look at the political forum.
  13. I can only imagine the amount of stupidity that goes on over there. I'm sure geniuses like calfox and DieHard wallow in their ignorance over there with glee.
  14. Jesus, are you still butthurt one of your threads got locked months ago? Are you familiar with the movie 'Frozen'? There's a pretty popular song from it about letting go. 😁
  15. Hold up.... there's other people on here besides calfox that run and cry to the mods? That's quite the newsflash!
  16. Lake Community Library, Steve. Very interesting article.
  17. I started looking up the history of the merger after you posted this thread and was surprised that the NFL came to the AFL first about merging, and that by and large the owners of AFL teams had far more money than the NFL owners.
  18. Especially sad considering the Browns went 10-6 his rookie season.
  19. How did the AFL's TV ratings compare to the NFL's?
  20. Allow me to be the first person to stay on-topic (for Gip's sanity) and say that if the stadium in the '64 AFL Title Game looks familiar, it's Buffalo's War Memorial Stadium - used in the movie 'The Natural' as the New York Knights home stadium.
  21. The "Trust me on this" story about Hue is the one, and I mean ONE time Hue Jackson actually stood up for someone and took the blows for their decision. Hue Jackson didn't want Kessler, Kessler being drafted as high as he was a total analytics Sashi move. Hue for once (probably because he had just taken the job) stood up for others. There's a boatload of reasons to hate the Hue Jackson era as head coach, but blaming him for Cody Kessler shouldn't be one of them.
