Screw you! I'll have my old buddy Isaac Yankem (aka Kane) pay YOU a visit and extract some molars. Rosie can't save you from him.

Rose is my....everything. She will fight for me, besides, if she loses, I still have her twin sister.

BTW...that NY "blockbuster" rumor was supposedly a three way dance between the Browns, Steelers & Rams. We'd end up with the #1 pick and the Rams would get Ben.

Not even close. The Steelers would have gotten the #7 pick from us and the Rams would have gotten maybe another pick or two from us plus Roethlisberger from Pittsburgh (if this would have happened).

I hope the Browns sit pat and get Berry at 7. I am ok with moving up a couple of spots to get him, but if he is gone....I will be perfectly happy with Earl Thomas.

Like you said I would just rather somehow get Thomas. We can't hardly afford to trade up and send picks out the door. It may still be possible to ship S Rodgers possibly???

I think Rogers gets moved on day 3 for a 4th or 5th rounder.

Tomorrow should be fun.

Hoping to see Berry at #7.

If he is gone, I'd like Cleveland to trade down a few spots (outside of Top 10) pick up a pick or two, and then select Thomas with our 1st rounder.

Get a feel for how people are viewing McCoy on draft night, then if necessary get a small package together to move up in the 2nd round or into the late 1st round.

I'd really like to see Cleveland latch on a bruising RB also in the 3rd round, dream pick would be Gerhart if available.

Oh, I agree. I want Thomas more than any player in the draft. If anything, I want to trade DOWN and get MORE picks.

It's Christmas Day, peeps.....the draft is HERE!!!!

Today should be interesting. If Berry is gone and they can't trade down, the two names I've heard are obviously Earl Thomas and CJ Spiller. A darkhorse name I'm hearing is Derrick Morgan. Today should be fun.

GO BROWNS!!!!

Should be interesting to see if the Browns can manage to fuck up another top 10 pick.

And since no one really knows what is going to happen yet--I would hope to God that if Big Ben is out there and they're actually willing to trade him to the Browns (which I doubt), that they go for it.

Almost certainly isn't going to happen, but man would I love to see it. It would just add that much more to the rivalry--it'd be awesome.

How could you cheer for that man? He's a jerk and a rapist. I would NOT want him on our team.

At the risk of being bashed for sorta changing the subject.......

So you're at a Cleveland Browns game and before the game they're honoring Cleveland HOF RB Jim Brown. Do you stand and cheer when he's announced and he walks out onto the field?

Don't know what to really think of this...but this is per Shefter's tweet...

Adam_Schefter :

"Let's rule out some more potential landing spots for Ben Roethlisberger: No Raiders, no Jaguars"

Looks like the team everyone though he'd go to, the Raiders, is out. Only a few teams it seems like he'd go to, hope to god Cleveland still isn't in the running.

[email protected] Brown...the fall back guy extraordinaire!

Most people on here only know of the legend that is Jim Brown, not the man Jim Brown. Times have changed, what was a more or less accepted/easliy overlooked part of a sports figure isn't what it used to be given TMZ/National Enquirer BS...

But yeah, I'd be mehh anyway ;)

Cleveland hasn't BEEN in the running. There have been NO discussions between the Browns & Steelers. That could change but there's been nothing as of yet.

The Steelers will never get the value they hope for with Ben right now. The dude is radioactive to NFL teams just like Vick was. The best I see them getting is a second rounder which they won't take.

I keep hearing this "oh, the Rooney's are just trying to scare him. They have NO intention of trading him." That's bullshit. I may hate the Pittsburgh organization but if there's one thing the Rooney's are, it's forthright. They wouldn't be making inquiries if there wasn't an interest in moving him. I think a lot of what this comes down to is disrespect. If I'm an ower who is paying you $100 million and you pull that shit, I'm not paying you another freaking dollar and your ass is out of town.

Another name to watch that has been linked to the Browns is LSU RB Charles Scott.

BTW...the Browns never had any interest in Ted Ginn if anyone was wondering.
