I'll be the first to admit I was on the Weeden bandwagon for too long but I jumped off that train LONG ago. I'm not stupid. After reading the dumbfuckery you've been spewing on here, it begs the question, what's YOUR excuse?

Nice try there slick...great try in fact. I've been on Manziel lonnnnggggg before either Bull or Fox were on the bandwagon. In fact neither one of them wanted him drafted by the Browns at all. They didn't like the idea until draft week. They probably changed their minds after reading all my words of wisdom here. LOL.

Just a few things to consider for people like you that don't see Manziel succeeding. Alabama had 8 defensive players drafted over the past 2 seasons including 3 in the first rounds. Pretty much there whole defense drafted into the NFL over the past 2 years. To give you an idea how impressive that is....Michigan State had by far and away the best defense in the Big 10 last year and they had...drum roll....ONE player selected in the 2014 draft. ONE.

Alabama played 26 games in 2013 and 2014...averaged giving up 10 points a game in 24 of those 26 games. (Inflated from last season's bowl meltdown) The 2 games omitted? A&M. They gave up 35.5 points per game against the Aggies and their national championship team was beaten by A&M with their frosh quarterback in 2013 at home in Tuscaloosa. Manziel';s 2 year line against Alabama...52 completions out of 70 attempts...7 touchdown passes and 2 picks. 882 passing yards. Oh by the way...he ran for another 190 yards. But you...and Brinda...and so many more nimrods cant understand all the ado about Johnny football.

The Browns haven't had a quarterback since Bernie. Now they finally have a stud and probable HOFer. And some people are pissed that he flew to Vegas after OTA's.

Please quote where I said "Manziel won't succeed." What I said is that Shanahan is going to have to tailor his offense in a very special way to make JFF successful. I'm somewhat skeptical that they will be successful in doing this but JFF is such a cocky prick that he may be able to pull it off. I hope he does for Cleveland's sake.

As for you, bullshit. You've been spewing the same crap that Bull, Fox & Booms have been saying like a parrot, word for word.

As long as he's not murdering, raping or taking drugs I don't give a shit what he does with his personal time.

And "probable Hall of Famer?" You're a joke. Ride his nuts a little harder. Why don't you wait until he takes a snap in an NFL game before crowning him?

I do think that he'll be the starter in week 1 against Pittsburgh though.

NFL .com is reporting that Johnny Manziel asked Coach Pettine for permission to go to Vegas...and that Pettine told him to go and have a good time.

LOL at the backwater local Browns media frenzy regarding this.

It reminds me of a quote from Vince Lombardi....."when you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before."
To that, and to the local media coverage, I would suggest this corollary.... when you finally get a 'score'....an opportunity to report on a 'larger than life' personality....act like you've done it before.:o

You've gotta be some kind of sad to spew verbatim what the Cleveland Media spews.

Honestly, if I lived in Cleveland, I'd listen to a french NPR station over Boom Fox or whatever their names are.

You're not missing much. I sold the death trap (Chevy Cobalt) that had my Sirius XM in it and I really miss the NFL channel. Their insight is more "x's & o's" and not so fanboy driven like the local jocks. Pat Kirwan is really good, imo. He's pretty objective on the Browns. I haven't gotten around to getting XM installed into my new vehicle.

I'll listen to Bull & Fox on the way home to see if they have any national guests that are worth listening to. When they start spouting their opinions I generally turn the station to music. At least tehy get the benefit of the doubt though. I won't even listen to Kiley & Booms on the way in. I like Ken Carmen's take on things and have some respect for Baskin & Phelps but I don't listen to them as I'm in the office.

I used the espn radio app to listen to local Cleveland stations. It only took my a couple minutes to turn it off.

Kenny Roda was THE worst before he got fired by KNR. How they let a Steeler fan talk Browns to the local market is beyond me. What's worse is that he's one of those Cavs/Tribe/OSU/Steeler bandwagoners who is actually FROM Pittsburgh. He's always be chirping that "well the Steelers do this...and the Steelers do that" crap. Tony Rizzo is horrid too.

I think the only person who actually knows what they are talking about on that station is JeRod Cherry. Everyone else is just Lulz.

Vegas has Buffalo's win total over/under at 6.5 for the year, same as Browns.

I really don't think Buffalo is going to be that good. I don't think Manuel is anything special and I know this sounds weird but I think losing Pettine will hurt them too. I know it's hard to pick against an offense with Spiller and Watkins but we'll see.

I don't think anyone expects Buffalo to be good. They haven't posted a winning season in 10 years.

Right, I mean like "bottom of the barrel" not good though. I'm really expecting the pick to fall between 4-7.

No way. They have 1/2 of an unbeaten, SB Champion, duo. No way do they do worse than 10-6.

Yea he has a nice friend.... I guess.

I say cut him. Hard to keep saying there is a culture change if there really isn't. Time to prove a point. This dude obviously has no desire to just grow the fuck up.
