Bad, very bad!

I wonder, if you combined the Colts and Browns organization would there be enough competent people to run one football team?

Ballard has a chance, so even though they're both completely awful right now I'd say the Colts have a hell of a head start on becoming competent even if Luck never comes back.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.

Look man we just got rid of Grigson. We don't want him back.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the Colts' front office. Ballard is doing a good job. Just get rid of the coaching staff and lock Irsay up in a room so his daughter can be in charge.

The Colts stink right now, but they have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL over the last 20 years. They aren't in a completely hopeless situation.

That would require them to actually put time and money into the franchise mode, which will never happen while MUT (and loot boxes) lives.

Seems like the perfect time tbh.

You have an often injured but possible best defensive player in a generation and a suddenly great young QB who are both coming off of injury next season.

You would have the top pick of all of the candidates next summer.

this glorious monument

Man the Browns need to be reimagined from the floor up.
The Coach, the management, the players, the owner, the market, the sport...
The name (When your name is Brown you don't get to name the team after yourself)
The uniforms (Look like literal poo poo, play like poo poo)

They should just become the Seattle Supersonics or something.

The best thing to come out of Cleveland was "A Christmas Story".

So I suggest they change the name to the Cleveland Triple Dogs.

The whole analytics things would probably work a lot better if the numbers team was reporting to someone that knew things about football. Kind of like how having a guy who only managed your salary cap and contracts was a thing back in the 90s.

Is A Christmas Story actually good or do people only think it's good because TBS plays it a billion times every year.

Having no childhood attachment to it, I watched it a while back and it was ... fine. Never got the hype.

It’s good but I can’t watch it every year. Christmas Vacation I could probably watch every day.

Those people defending the FO are dumb. Analytics are Cool and Good, unfortunately everyone involved in the Browns is a moron and their models are clearly pieces of poo poo.

The only solution is to fire Haslam.

I mean thing is for as much poo poo as I talk I recognize the value of analytics as a tool in player evaluation it shouldn't be the only tool used as the Browns seem to be doing. Let alone with models built by a former loving baseball manager and a lawyer.

I dream of the day the Haslams are run out of Cleveland.
