Random preseason bullshit.

Interesting predictions:

Titans are legit.

Jags are legit.

Eddy Lacy is back to pre-Shamu form.

Tannehill is overrated and underwhelming.

RG3 and the Browns are going to suck regardless whether or not Josh Gordon stays on the wagon.

However, the best:
The 49ers have the worst QB situation in league

I suspected as much throughout the offseason. And then Colin Kaepernick came down with arm fatigue last week. I was already worried about where his head would be after a tumultuous offseason when his status in San Francisco was completely up in the air -- and now his surgically repaired shoulder is acting up?

Now, I've always argued that Kaepernick needs new head coach Chip Kelly -- and Chip needs Kap. Sunday night, I sat down to watch Blaine Gabbert. And I'm even more convinced of that initial notion.

Besides a 43-yard touchdown pass to Vance McDonald -- who was wide open after a defender stumbled, and who did most of the work after the catch -- Gabbert was all over the place with his throws. Rumors of this quarterback competition being over are greatly exaggerated.

I'm sure his marriage to the Browns will be the one that succeeds.

Ehh.. We all know that women are nothing but a distraction. Maybe she was the reason he was so fucked up in the first place, get rid of the distractions Robert!

Great move on his part! RG3 is gonna be great this year!

Don't forget, this is Cleveland's year, we already won one championship this year and the Indians are well on their way to winning it all. Browns are next! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The saddest part is that you believe all that...

If that shit did happen, it'd truly be the end times.

The Indians on the plains in the 1850s had a better chance of winning it all.

Sheeeit... I know how much you love baseball and all, watching it all day everyday and such. But you obviously haven't watched any of these Indians play, they are one helluva ball club this year.

I haven't watched a full nine innings in longer than I can remember. I do know that the majority of teams in Cleveland's div aren't even .500 (the only other div in baseball so thoroughly pussified is the NL West), but I can understand how you dudes would celebrate being on top near the bottom rung of the ladder.

Dude, just be glad it's that time of year when Browns stories aren't yet starting with, "After today's loss..."

Lev Bell appeals suspension down to three games. I assume the appeals process went along the lines of: (i) the chems aren't steroids and (ii) he didn't get arrested for beating the shit out of someone.

Goodbye "Probable".

It's Probable that the entire New England team will be listed as Questionable every week.

Keeper choices:
Russell Ciara $35
Ryan Matthews $ 5
Tony Brown $66
Doug Baldwin $ 1
Barnidge $ 1
Jordan Reed $ 3
Kelvin $ 3
Jordy Nelson $ 3

Maybe I can talk them up to four. Thinking Barny, Jordan, Kelvin, and Jordy.
Looks like one keeper. I'm leaning Reed. Thoughts?
