I dunno who I’d rather have between those two

Always the guy who was already on the team and not being traded, imo

Weak career politician Dewine and his GOP legislators green lit Jimmy and Dee’s $600 million gift to build their NFL playground in Brook Park. We put up half (without our consent), the Haslams take all profits, Cleveland is on the hook for tearing down the old stadium, and a crapfest franchise/company gets rewarded for its horrible track record.

They did all the voting at 2:00 am. Going to cost my hometown school $1.4 million in funding over the next 2 years.

I know this isn’t a politics thread. So I’ll just say that I cannot understand awarding a business entity that had displayed such poor results over such an extended period of time. I would like NE Ohio to say fuck the Browns and the NFL. We’ll keep our two teams that actually do positively impact the local economy AND give us something to cheer about from time to time.


NFL is a boring product of TV commercials anyway.

I’ve kind of kept this to myself because no one likes that guy, but I couldn’t be less excited for the NFL. A lot of that has to do with the fatigue of the Bengals being the Bengals.

Conversely, I’m counting down the days until CFB. Every Saturday I can’t get enough of it. A lot of people hate what CFB has become though.

Yeah, CFB is an unwatchable product unless it is my team playing, imo. Horrible defense (or, unstoppable offense), only a few good games a week, way too long (though the new clock rules a few yrs ago have helped a lot). End of the year when the playoff race heats up, I love it again. But I couldnt care less about most of the games to start the season.

Buckeye through and through, but I can feel CFB going the way of CBB for me. I used to love watching the Buckeyes at St. John Arena. After the one-and-done era started (and the Schott), I lost all interest in a matter of a few years.  CFB is going that way for me. If the National Championship of  2002 was a 100 on the scale of excitement for me, last year was about a 50.  I used to watch CFB all day on Saturdays. Now I only watch the Buckeyes and not their BS West Central Kentucky Nursing games. 


Maybe it's my age, but I think the way CFB is going, I'm lost. NFL  lost me a long time ago. My problem with the NFL/Browns is I don't want to be paying for their dogshit product.

I don’t have a CFB team. My Alma mater doesn’t have sports and I never got hooked into OSU. So I can watch any game or team without caring too much about the outcome. Laley is right, some weeks are duds. But the NFL can be the same way.
