Browns BS Drama continued Part II...

Thanks, vball.

Can MKC just go away? And can people stop asking about Josh Gordon every day? He isn't there so just let it go.

JUST SAY NO

^^^this is the kind of attitude that's needed---I love it!

lol...I like the optimism but c'mon...

I would love the Tribe talking to Adam Jones. The Browns talking to this Adam Jones not so much.

C’mon what? What would you like him to say—I think this team has potential to get to 8 wins?

we all know the browns aren’t winning the super bowl. But this franchise has won one game in the last two seasons, they need a change of culture and having that sort of confidence and optimism is exactly what we need.

I'm glad he's optimistic, and would expect him to be, but "everyone playing to their potential" winning them a Super Bowl is beyond laughable. Why I think it's funny is that Tyrod Taylor wouldn't have to play to his potential, he'd have to play to Tom Brady's to get them there. Miles Garrett would likely have to play to Lawrence Taylor's potential, etc, etc. This team was THAT bad last year. Love the optimism but going from zero to hero is extremely pie in the sky.

I think you’re just taking it literal when you shouldn’t. He’s just trying to give this franchise a confidence boost. It’s not meant to be taken literally.

Reminds me of that idiot Lions WR back in the mid 2000s (maybe Roy Williams or Charles Rogers?), who after scoring like 3 pts against the Texans said something like, "We were so close to scoring 40 on them it's not even funny".

Of course it's idiotic when said retroactively, but when it's said as a psyche up for something that's yet to happen, to me it's just glass-half-full optimism. Like S&L said, I don't think he meant it as a literal prediction--he's just letting his teammates know he's confident in their ability to make things happen. JMO.

I get it, and would expect it....just think it's funny. Hope he's right because it will be like 2007 all over again.

It’s obviousky very early, but all indications point to Antonio callaway being very, very good. 

Couple things I'm seeing on twitter...1-Josh Gordon is working out in Florida and will return after the Hard Knocks cameras are gone. He apparently wants nothing to do with Hard Knocks which is why he's not there. 

2-Dez and the Browns are close to a 1 year deal and it could happen Monday.

Isn’t Hard Knocks there through almost all of the preseason?

If they play him. He won't be ready. He's a shitty route runner as it is. He NEEDS to be in this camp to learn Haley's system, etc. Very odd how he can practice, in front of CAMERAS, at Florida, but he can't practice in front of the HK's cameras? Pretty odd to me.

Do you even realize how invasive Hard Knocks is?
