    You mentioned your aversion to a good old OTA amplified antenna.  If you don't mind a delay- sign up for the 7 day free trial of NFL game pass- and then cancel it.... 

    See below Gipper....  

    ↑↑↑ it's billionaires fighting billionaires. The deal is "local" stations are rarely independent anymore.  They're owned by big outfits like Tegna or Nexstar.  So for the subscription services like Directv, Dish, and others to have the right to carry that channel on their service- they have to pay  a royalty fee to the station's owner to carry the local signal.  And the negotiations of what exactly that royalty fee is worth have gotten progressively uglier and more contentious of late. Of course, you the consumer pay the increased freight when they eventually settle. 

    We had a similar issue Dayton way last year with Direct feuding with Nexstar, we lost CBS on satellite for over a week. As I mentioned to Steve- there is a solution assuming you don't live way out in the boondocks. The stations direct over the air signal is always available, so get thee to Amazon and buy an amplified indoor antenna ($20-30 bucks) problem solved. 

    This problem of these greedy aceholes has effected Dish for years! We lost Sports Time Ohio in August of 2019 so no Indians games or Browns insider stuff! We also lost Fox 8

    3 weeks ago. same people TEGNA! Going to buy the antenna for that, but Dish says NO progress on the STO front....When the contract is up BYE!!! 

    GO BROWNS!!

    Unfortunately the defense was still atrocious a week ago, we just happened to have an outstanding drive at the end of the game. Think about forcing 1 punt in 2 games...and last week, you basically got bailed out by two plays (int and fumble) or else it would have been curtains.  Remember that Dallas game? We lose that game unless OBJ rips off that reverse TD. Something is very wrong with them, and I guess we just need to hope we can outscore everyone because we ain't stopping nobody. 

    This is still the best season I can remember in recent history, so I don't want to lose sight of that. But...but...damn man. It's so hard to watch. Can't tackle and can't ever make a play on 3rd or 4th down. Ever. 

    Exactly! I kept telling the wife the defense needs to get us off the field! They never did!!! The offense struggled with weather, drops and fumbles! Didn't help the zebras took away our TD, but gave them theirs.

  3. I am also an obsessed Browns fan! I will watch them and the Indians ONLY! I to will not watch the pre game (opinions.)

    I also do not support BLM just as I do not support the KKK. Peaceful protest all you want. Violence and destruction are no means to an end! GO BROWNS!!!

    I’m mothballing the points league for this year. I haven’t had time to track down and fill the league and it’s also just going to be a weird year to manage with the virus. As I mentioned in an earlier post League V I’ll not have time for either. Hoping to be back to normal next year. 

    Thanks for letting us know! Thank you also for your time and effort in being the Commish! See ya next year!😎

    GO BROWNS!!!

    First,  I don't know what PITA means, and I understand streaming sites suck.  I appreciate your input, but is there a way to get games or not?  I was pretty clear i don't mind  paying.

    A whole lotta COVID testing gonna be goin' on.

    So, by Aug. 16th they've gotta be down to 80 players.  And padded practices don't start until the day after.

    ...........meanwhile, we had 78k new COVID cases today.  That's the highest daily total I've seen for the US.  78k in one day.  That's close to what China has TOTAL. (if ya can believe 2 words of what China says)

    LOL! Cant believe any of the tests(cases)....China,USA, ANYWHERE!

    They have all lied! Why....let me see... cause they give you $$$$$$$$$ to report cases and tests!

    1. Joe Burrow and his Bengals will finish with a .500 or better  record this year.   (this and all questions assume there is pretty much a full season of games)

    Shove it.   He is a rookie, and in another thread the Ben-gals were given the 31st rank OL per PFF.  More of a recipe for disaster than success...or even mediocrity. 

    2. Ben Roethlisberger will return to Hall of Fame Quarterback form. 

    Shove it.  He may come back OK....but odds are that he may also be Johnny U with the Chargers or Joe Namath with the Rams. (a shell of his former self)

    3. Lamar Jackson will continue to perform at an MVP level.

    Shove it..  Oh, he still will be good at the stuff he does.  But defenses can learn and adapt to any style...and don't forget the  PI factor Potential for Injury/Personal Injury.

    4. Washington will be playing the season as the No Name Team.

    Shove it.   It is a lame move.  It is just a continued indication of a dysfunctional operation.  They have been under the gun for years about changing their name.....and they easily could have/should have been prepared with alternative, acceptable nicknames. 

    5. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will compete for the NFC championship

    Love it.  They are a talented team. Brady will be a bit of glue to hold them together. Not saying they are SB bound...but the have the chance to compete. 

    6. Tyreke Hill says the Chiefs will win 5 titles before he and  Patrick Mahomes are done.

    Shove it.  They can certainly be in contention....and could win another one or two titles.  But I am NOT prepared at this point to declare them a dynasty. Could be Seahawk like....expected to win several titles....but seemed to fall short after one. 

    7.  The Kraken......Seattle hockey team name.

    Shove it, I guess.  I suppose it could grow on me,  but overall I don't like singular named teams:  The Heat. LIghtning, Magic. etc.  

    8. The Indians will challenge for the World Series this year.

    Love it,  both the concept and the potential.......Tribe can contend.

    9. Neither the Yankees nor Dodgers will play in the World Series this year.

    Love the concept....but shove the reality.  Those are the best teams money can buy...and that may pay off in such a shortened season. 

    10. Myles Garrett will compete for Defensive Player of the Year

    Love it.  He will be on a mission.....and he will convert a lot of unbelievers. 

    11. The Browns offense will be nigh on unstoppable with the weapons they have and their new scheme under Stefanski

    Love it.  Quality talent  2 deep at each skill position.  Just have to have the right stage director.  I am optimistic that Stank is the guy. 

    12. The Browns linebackers and their rush defense will be the teams major weakness this year.

    I love it because, unfortunately, the statement is correct.  I would like them to force me to shove this where the sun don't shine...but I am not hopeful. 

    This is exactly as I believe! Get outta my head Gip! 😎   Had to EDIT! I think our LBs will over-achieve!! ....that is all!

    KARLIS MISSED wide left. I was there....look closely at the ref under the goalpost. 

    I hate that dam game.

    I was there as well and Karlis missed! But what a high, then a silent stadium....so sad. The reason I will be a Cleveland Browns fan till I die!!!! Win lose or tie,till I die!!! 

    GO BROWNS!!! ❣

    I won't forget to put roses on your grave.

    (and my only surmise about the post office workers is that they have no contact with people...they just drop off mail in you box.)

    Well thanks for the roses(please make them Brown and Orange roses!)

    Yes but they are handling mail from all over the world! Sent by millions of different people......yet not required to wear gloves or masks.....things that make you go HMMMMM!!!

     

    GO BROWNS!!!

    Since cloth masks protect others and not the wearer, it's very brave of you to be will to share your potential infection with others as a final gesture.

    Do you plan on refusing vaccination when the time comes as well?

    Really? So all the medical professionals clamoring for N95 masks are wrong?

    Absoruckinfutly NO """VACCINE""" for me!!!! I have never had a flu shot or pneumonia shot EVER! I truly believe you build up anti bodies by living life. By being exposed to things little by little and your body fighting them off. Thereby building up ones immune system! 

     

    I have one question for you all! 

    IF THIS COVID 19 IS SO BAD...THEN WHY ARE ALL POST OFFICE EMPLOYEES NOT WEARING MASKS AND GLOVES CARRYING AND DELIVERING THE MAIL????

    THEY ARE NOT!!! 

     

     

     

    GO BROWNS!!!

O choose to NOT wear a mask on my own time. Because I am an American! Therefore have the FREEDOM to make my own decisions

    Or, maybe  it was in the back of your mind somewhere, and when it was mentioned here it slipped to the front of your mind. 

    Nevertheless....as noted,  it was pretty much exclusively and Akron thing because,   aren't you originally from like a Cleveland area suburb?  And you say you have never heard of it.      So, it was not a Cleveland thing, or Columbus or elsewhere.   (however, I do think that someone....here or elsewhere, like on Facebook, said they were from Toledo and that the term was used there some).

    https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Devil's Strip

    We used the term devils strip here in Stark County(Canton/Massillon) as well!

    Here is this week's Survey.  Give your answers/opinions:

    1. Who was the best draft choice the Browns have made in the last 20 years   (say since 1999)

     YEP, JOE THOMAS! 

    2. Who was the worst draft choice the Browns made the last 20 years?  (since 1999)

     HMMM...SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM...

     JUSTIN GILBERT  BY FAR 

    3. Some draft prospects have had issues with questionable drug tests.     Is that still an issue with you?

     ITS A YELLOW FLAG BUT NOT A RED FLAG.

    4. Are you looking forward to the upcoming draft  being conducted without all the hoopla that has become associated with them the last few years, with them going all over the country?

     AS WAS SO ELOQUENTLY SAID..LIKE A KID AT CHRISTMAS! 

    5. The XFL  has died.....again.   Before finishing the season.   Filed Bankruptcy....and will not return.   Thoughts about that?

     I AM REALLY BUMMED ABOUT THIS. I REALLY LIKE IT! 

    GO BROWNS!!!

    Hope all had a Happy Easter. 

    Canton Dawg, Prayers are with you & get well soon.

    I am requesting Prayers for our eldest Daughter, who found out Friday that she has stage 1 bladder cancer. The good news is that it is very treatable with a good prognosis as they caught it very early.

    Mike

    Prayers for your daughter, from an Esophageal cancer survivor!☝️☝️☝️
