I disagree with your point of not trying for the playoffs. By all means, they need to sell out no matter what to try and make the playoffs.

"Alright, we need to be good enough to get a shot at championship game, but not good enough that we have a dog's chance in hell of winning it all."

Yeah, I want to play for that team.

I gave up on the Panthers and their playoff hopes a few weeks ago.

Now you are telling me if we win out we have a reasonable chance of hosting the Hawks at BOA for the Wildcard game?! madness

Also, the Saints are a horrid team and fanbase, Cam Newton is a REAL saint. Fuck the haters, i'm glad we turned their team into toilet paper for the day. I'm still scouring the internet for Kelvin's pancaking block and follow-up flying elbow on a DB during a run play. Loved every second of it, even with the penalty he got for it.

Well, in his defense I get what he's saying. It's been so long since they've done anything that even a single playoff game will renew the city's hope that they're on the path back.

I don't blame him.

No, but that'd be the greatest gallon of water in your lifetime.

Maybe you ought to work on leaving the desert instead of squeezing out the last vestiges of liquid in it.

So Malcolm, you've never been satisfied with any season that the Vikings have ever played? Seeing that anything less than a Super Bowl winning team is an utter disappointing failure, then your Vikings are no better than my Browns.

Sure glad I'm not as bitter towards everything as you are!

London Fletcher destroys his old boss.

Burn.
"Tell the Philadelphia police to put an ABP out. Sanchez is trying to impersonate a good quarterback," Bennett said, per USA Today's Jarrett Bell.

No, they've been playing like ass since that one season New Orleans beat them in the NFC championship. Before then, they were also playing like ass. I expect nothing less.

Seeing that anything less than a Super Bowl winning team is an utter disappointing failure

If your team isn't in it to win the trophy, then your team has already failed.

you're [sic] Vikings are no better than my Browns.

Not exactly.

1) Our QB position is set, Teddy's got a year or so to prove himself. No one's waiting in the wings if he slips up for a couple games.
2) Our rookie QB isn't a tool of a player.

Why does Jim Haslett still have his job as a defensive coordinator after five years now of just ineptitude at the defensive coordinator position?

I've been saying this for a couple of years now.
It's not me, it's someone else.

He IS an idiot! Now even if there were people in the Browns locker room that weren't on Johnny's side they are now. That will be a rallying point for them, players don't like when a coach talks shit about another player. When a player does it then so be it, he's gotta back it up on the field. But a coach?.. I'm surprised by Marvin, he's usually a well spoken guy.

I hope the Browns name Johnny the starter today. Can't wait to see him run right by coach Lewis and $$$ sign his ass. He's a cocky shit, he'll do it too. Should be good TV regardless

Awesome mic-ed up of JJ Watt.

That is a man among boys.

In other news, I just saw a Tweet from ESPN saying Manziel will start this Sunday.

I thought it was established back when bin Laden won that title that it wasn't necessarily a good title to have. I thought it was more about them impacting the news that year.

I could be wrong though.

Cam was driving his gigantic black truck right outside BoA stadium. From the pictures, looks like a Buick pulled out in front of him.

Pretty decent accident, Cam's truck flipped a few times. Both car drivers taken to hospital.

I think Cam lucked out and didn't get any serious injuries, but I bet he's out for a game or two at least. He's lucky to not be more hurt.

Truck

Cam
