way off....said 27-13 Ravens and was only 24-10. the long snapper was effective though which is all that matters.

Boy it sounded like it.

Had it on the radio and it was awful listening.It's pitiful how after about 10 years the team is still an expansion team.You would think by mistake, they would be better.



But no.

Very close though.



Yes ....we snap long good , again.

[horseofcourse]

My prediction gotta come fast this week, we play thursday...no rest for the horrible. I see 31-9 Steelers for some reason. 66 games for the Cavs this year....I say massive improvement from last season 18-48.

[clyde]

10-4



An acknowledgment.

Not the score.

I'm still trying to figure out the Vulverines getting a BCS Bowl over Michigan State. I'm pretty sure in regular season Mich State went 7-1 in big 10 play...the best... and made the championship game and blew out the Vulverines badly. Played Wisconsin twice dead even both games and split with them. I guess it's just the NCAA created BCS trying to show how awesome they are. Is it true Urban Meyer is going to be on the sideline for the OSU bowl game?? That would be awful. ( I guess he isn't, that is good.)

[horseofcourse]

I vowed not to talk about my alma mater ever again but I couldn't pass up more NCAA bowl hypocricy. I always love how the NCAA talks about "student athletes" in their official statements which is pretty comical. For all the alleged "evil" of Joe Paterno, his graduation rates are much closer to what they should be than most D 1 schools. But Penn State did beat Iowa, Ohio State, and Northwestern this year...all 3 and all 3 of those schools get to go to better bowl games. how are the current "student athletes" at Penn State involved with the situation currently on-going?? Penn State was 6-2 in conference and 3 schools .500 or worse in conference that they all beat get better "student athlete" rewards than the Penn State "student athletes".

If there was ever an entity that needed vaporization, it is the NCAA I think.

I think it's "aa speak".

If a team had a lesser season than another,it may be deemed to be the best team if aa says as much.

Like...they can sell player trading cards and jerseys with players names because they "own" these items and they make millions on them.Since they own the rights, players get no cut.But let those players sell something they own,that their university gave to them, for $100 or a tat......and oh boy!!

Wow, more great incredibleness from the NCAA. Traditional eastern powers San Diego State and Boise State have joined the Big East football conference. Doesn't that mean west coast power University of Maine needs to join the Pac 12?

[clyde]

Well of course it does.


But believe me, the Big Infinity will dodge Mount Union.

The Purple Raiders would destroy that league.

This was overheard right at the end of yesterday's Browns practice:




Coach Mr.Rogers...OK guys, don't forget we leave for Pittsburgh for our game there tomorrow night.




Browns Players......







game!!?....what game!!?





whatthefucl<areyoutalkingabout!!??

[clyde]

Oh my God.

















thud

[clyde]

Never mind.

[clyde]

Mr. Rogers...what a doorknob.

[horseofcourse]

It was only my second viewing of a Brownie game this year...well I saw most of the second half. my initial thought when Colt got whacked and Wallace came in and threw that pass to Moore down to the 5 yard line was"they might win this game!" When they re-inserted Colt my initial thought was..."they can't win this game" HE's no good and most of his good passes get dropped too. It's a very bad combo. They have a simply heinous offense. They crippled the rapist at least so there was that. In the two games I've seen--I've seen a total of zero Brownie touchdowns. I guess a one-legged rapist is better than a two legged Colt...most colts actually need 4 legs to be effective I guess.

Then I realized my delerium and remembered that it was the Browns and even if they left Wallace in to finish off the TD it only means a 14-10 loss instead of 14-3 loss. It's the Brownies and to think they ever had a remote chance to win that game was crazy. Of their final 4 against the Squealers and Rat Birds I wanted 1 win total, I think last night was the 1, and it is no longer. It's gonna be zero.

[clyde]

It was awful.From the decision for this 4-8 not- as- good -as -their- record- says team to take a FG on that opening drive aborted my digestive process; and to that last mess at the Steeler 18.Didn't listen to the 2nd half, but just read about it.


Mr. Rogers may be the biggest problem.

This is the North Coast.

And we are sick of field goals.



We're sick of the head scratching play calls even more.Elmer Fudd could do better.

I'd love to know why when a team is down 14-3 with 2 minutes left they are throwing five yard passes. Throw the ball down the field. Why not actually try to catch up?

You haven't been watching this team...those 5 yard passes ARE down field!!

[horseofcourse]

IT's a shame as they really could have lost all of their wins except the Colts, so they could be 1-12 and be getting that Griffin from Baylor. He's the guy I want now. Luck won't be there. He seems to throw a great deep ball and is very fast. But then, if we got him Mr Rodgers would have him throwing 3 yard crossing routes to a slow wideout with bad hands. (as you said those are our deep balls!!)
