I don't disagree with your assessment , but then again I've always watched the NFL, and am not very familiar with the youngsters at all. Just what I've seen on YouTube highlights. I thought the " Smelley" selection was very smart, giving your new star a friend in camp may help relieve some pressure. Imagine my surprise when they turned around and did it again by signing undrafted free agent WR Josh Cooper from OSU. Ok so he's not Blackmon, but he was Brandon Weeden's #2 receiver at OSU. I'm hoping he can supplant Massoquai as the Browns # 2 , by means of existing chemistry. I know Momass is our # 1 but he's always looked like a two to me.
Your evaluation gives me hope, because it doesn't come from a pathetic homer like myself.

Just a note on available free agent receivers.
Plaxico Burress
Mike Sims Walker
Jabar Gaffney
Jacoby Jones
Braylon Edwards .... ( in case anyone is wondering no I don't want him)

Any of these guys would upgrade the Browns receiving corps, but bringing back Braylon to Cleveland could trigger the End of days.

Plaxico Burress - too old. not a good team mate.
Mike Sims Walker - intriguing.
Jabar Gaffney - near the end of his usefulness.
Jacoby Jones - stay away. is never as good as he should be.
Braylon Edwards - no, no, no.

Well the Browns have already managed to lose last years first round draft pick to a training accident. Phil Taylor Browns DT tore one of his pectoral muscles while lifting weights at the team facility. Surprisingly no motorcycles were involved in this latest catastrophe.

i wish the two Saints players who were suspended, would just go away. Saints have signed players to replace them and they need to focus on resigning Brees.

Well the early point spreads are out in Vegas, and not surprisingly they have not favored the Browns in a single contest next season.This pleases me, if you don't understand why, then perhaps you don't understand how point spreads are developed. Suffice it to say that Vegas wins when you lose, spreads are determined by several factors, and one of the most important is what they believe you will bet on. Never forget, they are not in business to see you win. For the most part the betters have a very low opinion of the Browns ability to win games, an attitude that Vegas promotes, because it makes them a lot of money. The Browns lost 3 games last season on the final plays of the game, and covered the majority of point spreads. Go Browns.

Heh...maybe you have an opportunity here. IIRC back to Pats/Bears Superbowl, if you had bet the Pats 10 bucks the first game then let it ride on them till the last playoff game you're 10 would have been 1/4million...of course you then would have lost it all if you bet Pats in the 'bowl.

It seems Jim Brown feels threatened by the Browns first round draft pick Trent Richardson . In a recent interview Brown stated that he saw "nothing special" about Richardson, and that the team should have drafted a wideout. Do not forget that Browns public comments are responsible for the teams dismissal of Brown as an advisor, in my opinion Brown is an egotistical dinosaur who has always considered himself to be the best runner the game has ever seen, or at least the best Browns running back ever. The latter may prove true, but at the very least Richardson is a threat to that legacy.

jim brown needs to fade away.

Post by **Mr. Broken** » Fri May 25, 2012 8:59 pm

I agree.

media having a meltdown because Tebow threw two interceptions, in practice. way to over-react guys.

Post by **Mr. Broken** » Sat May 26, 2012 1:24 am

You have to hand it to the media, when there is nothing to report , make something out of nothing. Like the so called QB controversy in Cleveland.

Post by **sgt.null** » Sat May 26, 2012 4:20 am

what controversy? i thought Weeden was the starter?

Post by **Mr. Broken** » Sat May 26, 2012 9:33 am

Weeden is expected to be the starter. The Browns have stated repeatedly that nothing will be handed to Weeden, he has to win the job. Local hack and former Plain Dealer writer ( dismissed) Tony Grossi has been working very hard in conjunction with ESPN ( his new employer) to manufacture a controversy. My take on it plays like this, Colt McCoy is a third year vet. If he cannot outperform a rookie in camp, and preseason , then he doesn't deserve the starting job.

Post by **sgt.null** » Sun May 27, 2012 9:12 pm

i thought it was a good idea to keep McCoy. always smart to have a back-up plan.

will Drew Brees sign anytime soon? i think Forte is also still unsigned.

My beloved Browns have been sold for more than a billion dollars. Yes that's with a B.

May the new owner care about the team and restore it to its glory. The last 17 years have not been kind to Cleveland football.

Post by **sgt.null** » Sat Aug 04, 2012 7:40 am

Saints are in the Hall of Fame game tomorrow. I am hoping it is on tv for me to record.

Mr.Broken - good luck with the new owner. any feel for him yet?

hate the Jets but love Tebow. no idea how I handle this at all.

Post by **Mr. Broken** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 12:52 pm

The new owner seems like just what we would want, but also appears to be ushering in another rebuild.

The League needs to end its dispute with the officials, this is getting ridiculous.

All right it's time for pre season super bowl picks.
Packers n Pats
