Or it could be Said using the Salto account to try to give credit to his "brother" Salto. Multiple personality disorder is serious business, you know?

A hair test can easily detect cocaine. It won't detect cocaine though if it was used in the last week and unlike most drugs it's really hard to tell how long ago the use was and how much has been used.

I also wouldn't be surprised if his drug of choice wasn't adderall which is often snorted.

Would this show up on a hair test?

Without looking it up, since it's an amphetamine as well, I'm guessing so.

I didn't even think about the possibility JFF was snorting adderall when rolling the bill, I just assumed Coke. But adderall is a very real possibility.

God, some sports media people are so fucking stupid.

"Manziel wants the city to embrace him, yet he is going to a different city every week to party and not staying in Cleveland"

Yeah because that's what I care about...I want him to build a nice house in Cleveland and stay there. I don't care about his on field play or anything, I just want him to be in Cleveland.

Yeah, that's pretty stupid. Most of the players in the league spend time in other cities than the teams they play for in the offseason. Cleveland isn't exactly a "hot spot" for nightlife.

That being said, I wish JFF would tone down his shit.

Hoyer says that he will not expend his deal until he is named the starter for 1/2 the season. Which I think is smart. He wants to make SURE that the rug will not be pulled out from under him, even if he is preforming well and the talent around him is going up Johnny 8-Balls nose.

That being said...if Hoyer wins 2 of the 1st 3 games....let me restate that....if Hoyer is the starting quarterback and doesn't lose 2 of the 1st 3 games, he will be the started for the year. Unless we fall apart and out of the playoff race (which is going to be 8-8 with the new system, even if its not in place yet).

He showed heart, determination, and a love for the Browns last season. He gave us 110% the whole game every game he played. He Bled Brown and Orange. Sounds a lot like another QB's attributes that we drafted huh? Except this one may have a head on his shoulders.

My opinion on Hoyer if that is true...Take the damn money now. If you're good enough to start, they will play you, so you shouldn't need some guarantee. If you are good enough, you WILL get paid and have a long career. The dude has started 2 1/2 games or whatever. He is unproven and who knows how long he will be in the league.

Hoyer is ranked 29th in the league...Nuff said. Yes, he had 2 impressive 4th quarter drives last year...which amounts to 2 more than Weeden had his entire stay here, but he still sucks. Manziel was drafted for a reason.

Pete Damilatis ‏@PFF_Pete 2m Braylon Edwards' 18 dropped passes in 2007 were 2nd-most ever recorded by @PFF in a season. The most? Edwards' 19 drops in 2008.

LOL

Beside the fact Gordon is a dipshit, I am pretty surprised the NFL has taken this long to make a decision. Training camp is right around the corner, and they came out with the suspension report in early May. That is pretty pathetic.

I'm fine with the things he said. He didn't go over the top about anything.

Oh, I know he didn't say anything over the top but this statement "I say it's going to be a tight fight" jumped out at me. Browns are lucky to win 5 games in a season and it's "going to be a tight fight?"

It probably won't even be close.

Personally, I love it because that comment tells me that he has the utmost confidence in the coaching staff and roster. Obviously, there are areas on the roster that we can improve, but for one of your leaders to feel that confidently, that's a good sign IMO.

Nah Haden says the same shit every. Glad he's positive but it's empty IMO.

Wish we didn't name the dog swagger. Otto would be much better, groza even.

Should know on Gordon close to months end. Rosenhaus, at Haden's charity softball game yesterday, said Gordon's appeal should be coming "before the end of the month."
