Cleveland defaulted on loans in 1978. Eight other US cities have since 2010.

He started posting about Detroit in the OSU game thread Friday night.

I just assumed everyone in the BENGALS thread would understand ( maybe not agree) my AJ = CJ

Now if we had a thread on best current receivers in the NFL....

Should've directed him to this thread.

Well, he is about 14 years old, so he probably had no idea.

Ha one would think considering those are the two best receivers in the game that it was fair to say he was talking about Johnson. Also yeah I want Watkins, dude is awesome

Abrederris is crazy underrated. His stats over his career would make him the all time leading receiver at OSU

Watkins is really good, but why would you want him as a lions fan? Way more pressing needs.

Because there are no good receivers outside of Johnson. Durham and Ogletree don't exactly strike fear into you, and have fun trying to defend Watkins, Johnson and Bush with the NFL rules. Clinton-Dix would be another good one since the secondary is not very good at all

He's been a thorn in the Buckeye's side, that's for sure, and I'd love for him to be wearing an orange helmet next year. My point was that OSU's secondary made receivers look better that than most, and maybe JA wasn't the best example, but damn he lit us up!

Detroit does NOT need another #1 WR. Take a defensive player and draft a WR in like the 3rd round. Plenty of them still to be had by then.

This may shock you, but Classy is actually Matt Millen.

But yeah now I think about all the shit you guys talk about Detroit and wow have you seen that lineup, yet the Tigers ran a train on them like a drunk girl at a Steubenville high school party. Hey at least no one was actually there at Progressive Field to actually watch the Tigers do that though
lol mad, because you were exposed for not paying attention to your team. Did you and pick6 go to movies during the playoffs?

Also, if you haven't figured out why we gave you shit with the detroit lineup comments, then you have ways to go before you learn anything about how fucking stupid you sound. Unfortunately, I do not think you are smart enough to ever figure it out.

That amazing Detroit job was passed up by whiz. The lions owner sent him a private plane, and he didn't take it lol.

I think the big problem with the Detroit job is that you have a team that underachieved greatly in the minds of a lot due to having elements like a great fantasy number QB who loses virtually every time he plays a decent team and a great WR who's had recent injury issues.

It's one of those jobs where you get the idea anyone who takes it is going to have a "win now" mandate attached to them with a team that's looked a lot better on paper than on the field recently. Where if you're a guy like Whiz and you fail there, it could be a major impediment towards getting another good job in the near future.

Couldn't believe it but Caldwell is a good leader from what I've heard and this team needs it badly. I mean christ sakes Suh is a captain on this team!

Incorrect, the big problem is actually living in Detriot.

As a Colts fan, if you take Caldwell, you will be terrible. On of the most, if not the most, lame duck coaches I've ever seen. He is the worst clock manager I've ever seen, and was just awful in the sidelines for the Colts. Almost lost multiple games in a year they went 14-2 with his horrendous decisions.

Yeah, not to pile on, but if Caldwell is any sort of an upgrade over Schwartz, then Jim will go down as possible the worst head coach in NFL history.
