Bad, very bad!

Simplex posted:

Because it's the Browns I think there is a very good chance there is some highly dysfunctional poo poo going on. Like Hue Jackson is running around trying to make deals, but the front office isn't signing off on them.

I was like, no one is dumb enough to let Hue in on trade talks after Carson Palmer. But then I saw the supposed offer and....yeah this makes a lot of sense.

If you think about it, if they out cameras in the Browns offices that would be an infinitely more watchable Browns experince than the one on the field.

I'm looking forward towards the browns having the same kind of turn around the Rams are having. I feel like you have to try to be so futile or at least have extremely bad luck. A decent coach could get that team at least 4 wins!

The Browns need to be disbanded, sold, and remade with a favorable expansion draft.

They tried that before but without the favorable expansion draft. The rules were changed because Carolina and Jacksonville were too good too early, can't have that!

Which is funny since Carolinas success came through free agency and the regular draft.

The Pack was fairly high on him in the early 90's because he ran whatever Holmgren called and Favre didn't really get his poo poo together until like '95 or so, if i'm recalling Gunslinger correctly right now. Just not enough to not let him leave for Jacksonville.

Are you directing this to me? I'm most definitely not a Lakers fan (Pacer fan here) and I hate Magic.

LeBron would be a good owner. As long as he doesn't bring Wade with him lmao.

10-6, and not even making the playoffs. There's like a 15% chance of that occurring.

Could have been a 1% chance and the Browns would have still found a way to miss

In addition, I think Derek Anderson's 2/17 23 yards 1 INT game walking away with a win is pretty impressive in its badness.

He's the quintessential Lakers fanboy but with the power and influence to actually act on the stupid ideas.

Peyton Hillis actually provided like one of my two favorite BB moments.

He beat the Patriots almost singlehandedly when they could not stop him for less than seven yards a carry. It was just man football, and the Patriots couldn't stop it.

Bill went to Peyton directly after the game to shake his hand.

The other BB moment was of course the Wildcat game where he freaked out because he knew exactly what to do to shut it down but couldn't possibly install a new defense mid game.

Magic was cool as a player. He's a total retard now though. He was as bad as Bill Simmons on ESPN and reading his tweets will make you stupider. He also totally tampered with Paul George so his AIDS-havin' rear end can gently caress off.

yeah I know PG wasn't staying in Indiana.
