I have to give credit to the backup OSU qb who twittered that they are not there for schoolin' and learnin and class takin. Honesty is greatly lackin in the world these days and give credit to him for some truth tellin. I wonder if sub-Urban had to correct him? That statement by him makes him more qualified to head the NCAA than anyone currently in charge there.

Oh my God, the Browns are on TV in Idaho today, I thought last week was the last time I'd see them. I was happy about that. I may have to witness a bit of the carnage today just for fun!! The Hands of Greg Little will have to be a researched topic at some university somewhere.

Browns ahead already and WEed Wacker hasn't tossed a pass yet.

Will catch up with you later( is still here)...Da Loss is after me and I am so frightened!!

It appears to this untrained eye that Weed Wacker is the re-incarnation of Derek Anderson (who also wore number 3!!), an arm that at times makes you say wow, but in the end dumber than a bag of hammers. He throws behind receivers half the time, and the other half of his perfect throws the receivers drop half of them. It's not a good combination for winning. They really know how to lose though. Very good at it.

AS you stated earlier, Phil Dawson is simply superb at kicking field goals, best in the league, so there's that.

I did not see the game as per usual.

But they do show good signs here and there.The only problem is the good signs were bad signs in prior games when other signs were good.Today those former good signs were bad signs.

Maybe that's some form of strange progress; perhaps in the next 3 years they will get everyone moving in the same direction.



Francona seems like a nice guy.I think there are more important faces that the team needs...that being players.Competent players.Signing a guy who no one else wanted and who had no spring training....this must stop.

One good sign today is that instead of focusing on stopping the run or the pass, they decided to focus on neither so they were able to stop nothing. To be fair their best run defender, Jackson was hurt most of the game and their best pass defender, Haden has missed 4 straight games. That really helps nothing. They are competetive for chunks of games but never for a whole game, I guess that's part of being the youngest team in the NFL. You would think they can compete with Cincy next week, but I think they'll figure out a way to lose. They do get Haden back which should help pass defense.
