They will make record predictions tonight, next week after the draft and at least two more times before the start of the season. Its become too repetitive.
(I know there are other channels to watch, haha).

If you don't follow this on deadspin, you should check it out: http://deadspin.com/bristolmetrics/
Lists the weekly time devoted to each sport on the 11pm SportsCenter. Last week (4/6-4/12) the NFL was 7.9% of the time.
Somewhat hilarious was the first big week of Linsanity ... 15.5% of the time was spent talking about the Knicks. That's about 4 times more than the NHL gets per week. For one team.

Not sure why Seahawks want Tanneyhill at 12 (which he will not be left at) when they just signed Flynn? Why not a receiver here - FLoyd or lineman to make that team better???

Yeah, I didn't notice until after the fact. At least it's comforting to know that it's not only Browns fans who think those things are hideous. They wore something just as bad back in the Tim Worley days if I recall.killer_ewok;1146191 wrote:Posted pics of those earlier on the Steelers thread. Awful...

Those ones from the Barry Foster days had some weird shield on them. Equally appalling.BR1986FB;1146194 wrote:Yeah, I didn't notice until after the fact.

Sounds like the Browns are opening at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. Don't take that for gospel but it's the initial leak.

Hot damn, 5 primetime games for Green Bay. Sucks royal that they have to play the Niners on 9/9 and turn around to play the Bears on 9/13.

Browns full schedule...
http://www.nfl.com/schedules/2012/REG/BROWNS
Thanks NFL.com....talk about a kick in the dick.
[h=2]Inside the 2012 Schedule[/h]Let's play "Find the win so the Browns can avoid going 0-16." They'll be huge underdogs in every game they play against much more talented teams except for these two: an away tilt at Indianapolis in October, where Andrew Luck may have his sea legs under him; and a home game against the Redskins in mid-December. Cleveland could realistically be 0-13 headed into that one.

This is largely due to the fact that the schedules are made with a template and each is the best team in their conference and thus doesn't have to play itself twice.Midstate01;1146278 wrote:Patriots and packers with the easiest schedule. Shocker
Think about it this way. The Vikings have to play the Packers twice. Thats 30 Wins.
The Packers have to play the Vikings twice. Thats 6 wins.
Thats 24 wins to make up when they have the exact same schedule except for 2 other games.
