He was actually pretty good when he was with the Akron Beacon Journal but like most (see Windhorst), when they join ESPN they turn to shit.

ESPN gives all their beat reporters WAY to much to handle. Constantly writing articles, going on TV, making radio appearances nationally etc. If they just let them to their job reporting...youd probably see much better and accurate coverage.

That makes sense to me, but doesn't explain why Grossi is so terrible.

Have a good feeling about this game for some reason. Calling it first, Browns by 6!

That was deydurkie lol

I am always very pessimistic going into the Browns season. This year is different. Still think 6 wins, max. But I think it'll be an enjoyable season to watch.

For the first time, in a long time, I think they'll be pretty fun to watch with all of the young guys. It looks like they could be getting better at hitting on picks.

As far as this game goes (hoping Garrett plays), I keep having this recurring vision that Garrett ends TheRapist's career.

Upsets happen sure, but just because the game is "winnable" doesn't mean we are going to win. We're going to be pretty bad, even games that we can win, we'll be 4 point underdogs going into it.

4 wins, MAX.

Said that before I watched preseason games. I think they could win 6 games based on the defense being a lot better. But that's best case scenario. They're not going to be a good team, but I think they'll definitely be more fun to watch.

Re-read. I hadn't watched all of the games. Recently watched. I needed to wait for games to be on NFL network since I don't have the games live here in Chicago. Only game I saw live was the first half of the MNF game then I had a fantasy draft.

Ah ok. So that means you argued with me about how good the Browns are without watching them play. So you're that guy. Good to know.

Uh no dumbass. I argued with you because you said the browns have 11 winnable games.

I also said they would have 6-7 wins which apparently you agree with now you've watched them play. Don't worry. It'll come to you. Just keep watching.

You think by saying 6 games max I'm saying they're going to win 6 games? How old are you?

I think by saying 6 games max is saying you think they can win 6 games too, yes.

kizer permanente;1868846 wrote:Oh definitely. This kid still has a lot to work on. He's not going to win 10-11 games this year. How fast he progresses though, 6-7 isn't out of the question. 3-4 isn't either though. Training camp tends to show he makes strides quickly. Either way they'll be a lot more enjoyable to watch this year. Just by having a QB who CAN move the offense.
that was the quote earlier in the thread you took issue with and said 4 games max by the way incase you have a bad memory. So yeah. You're essentially agreeing with me now.

Trying to defend your dumbass comments?

Again, my issue was with saying 11 winnable games, not anything else.

I'm done speaking with you though. You're a dumbass and more than likely thavoice.
