Also, anyone going to the parade today? Iggy told me there would be a parade in Cleveland if we take JFF.

Also, hope I can get some extra vacation days so I can take a lot of Tuesdays off in the fall--since we're going to be playing on MNF a lot this year.

Now for Manziel. I don't like it because I think he will be out of the league in 3 years or less but I'm thankful that we didn't get suckered in to drafting him early in the 1st. I hope I'm wrong, but there's a reason he slipped that far and mostly its because he's not an NFL QB.

As for Johnny, no idea what to expect, seems like a no brainer pick value wise and it has the city in a frenzy...which i love. If they come away with Lee with this next pick....I may overdose on heroin tonight.

I mean I guess there are homeless, but they don't contribute to the traffic because they don't drive

Not surprised that story went right over the heads of Cleveland haters and media.

The point of that story was no one in Tennessee recognizes haslam in public yet in Cleveland everyone can spot him. Even homeless people recognize him. Which is hilarious IMO.

It's not like haslam said "I couldn't decide who to pick, manziel or a tackle..then I saw a homeless guy and he told me to take manziel so I did it!"

If they give this regime a chance they will be serious contenders in the AFC in very short order.

As a steelers fan, not looking forward to the defense having to chase Manzel around the pocket the whole game. He will make some big, big, big plays for the browns with his feet and scrambling ability and throwing downfield. I look for him to get dinged up a little bit but also cause havoc. The sooner he figures out that he wont be able to get away with some of the stuff he did against college players the sooner the browns will be contending.

Kid is gonna be a good one for the browns, and the rest of the AFC North (I mean the central, right?) will be chasing him for years.

I think the description I think is probably most accurate is that he'll give headaches to both browns fans and opposing fans. Going to be some ridiculous plays, but also some infuriating turnovers.

As far as tonight... Get me a wr (Matthews or Lee) in the 2nd. Sua-filo would be tempting, but odds of getting a solid guard later are better than WR in my opinion.

I guess that's a step up for the Browns, LOL

You literally haven't talked about the browns for about 3 years and now all of a sudden you want to be a hermit douche troll. I don't get it. Did Tiernan or said hire you? It's not a Cleveland thread without some dipshit dedicating his time to be an idiot troll, so congrats on taking the role. The lat 5 people who did are no longer on the site.
