Well, you did cover your ass by saying the Cavs might win one this year, 2-3 seasons max. The Browns, on the other hand, are more than a "few seasons away" unless this was one of your "reverse jinxes" and that's why he's calling you a moron.

Nah. Not my M.O. regarding the cavs. They have a solid team. Probably ill advised to have traded Wiggins to get Love though, long term. I still hope they dont ever win it, but when I do a reverse curse on them.....ya would know!

The few more seasons for the browns was a little bit in jest as they are not close. Tribe......postseason contenders and if they get hot at the end may be WS contenders.

Thavoice is more concerned about a team in Cleveland not winning a title than he is about his own teams winning a title. It's an old and obvious act.

This. I'm surprised it's even brought up anymore. It's one of the most redundant stories in all of sports.

Not necessarily. I've seen other stories where other cities were considered to have "suffered" more, which is comical.

Cleveland even has names for their misery that are nationally recognizable:

The fumble
The drive
The shot
The fuck you Jose Mesa

I know and agree, but I've seen some delusionals who believe that other cities have suffered more. To me, not even close.

When he said "somebody has to pay" apparently he wasn't referring to himself and his rent...

Think this is the first time I've ever seen "he's a little quiet" when describing Manziel. Some of what Mack is saying is the opposite of what JT said earlier in the week...

No real respect for Kiper's talent evaluation anymore but if they use the #19 pick for that, a lot of people are going to flip their lids...

Kiper is an idiot if he thinks we are taking a RB in rd 1 with the baby backs sitting there and our vast amount of other needs.

I know that Gurley is talented but unless a RB had Adrian Peterson-like talent, solid RB's can be found in later rounds. Hell, the Crow was a UDFA, correct?

Even AP I wouldn't spend a 1st on.

Bell suspended 3 gamesGordon suspended a season
One was arrested and charged with a DUI plus possession.
One tested a second hand smoke level.

Guess who was supsended a season?

Stop being so obtuse.

You know there are different steps to the program.

You are acting like Gordon got popped an entire season for pissing hot the first time.

Agreed. Had they been first offenses for both players and Bell got 3 games for what he did and Gordon got a season for what he did, there should be outrage. This wasn't Gordon's first "rodeo" for violating the rules.

A DUI will always trump just a positive test, no doubt about that, and that is why Bell got 3 instead of just the slap on the wrist and put into the program without anyone having to know about it.

How about how long it took Bell's suspension to handed down? Happened before the season, yet Steelers are allowed to play him all season.

In terms of Gordon's suspension, we've been over this and over this, but his "brushes" are pretty much BS IMO. Cough Syrup, and .15 test is petty bullshit. Yes, he did it and it's on him, but his punishments don't fit the crime. NFL certainty didn't lolly gag playing penis flickers with the rooneys on his suspension. Just shows the inconsistency and good ol boys network with Goodell.
