    Warriors and Lakers are leading Vegas odds to be champs in 2020

    Apparently they know something about the Lakers that the rest of us don't.

    Steph*, Klay*, and Draymond* still have ZERO titles against a team with a healthy roster or without KD saving them. 

    This is why this is so great. Not that two of their key players suffered injuries but because the Warriors have been beneficiaries, for a lot of their series', in facing teams that weren't at full strength or were missing their key player. Just waiting for all the excuses to fly from their (soon to be former) "fans." It will be fine for them to make excuses yet LBJ didn't get to make any when he should've been the Finals MVP in 2015 and was shorthanded.

  • Golden State will continue to be good but their reign of terror is over. With Klay's injury, Lil Steph won't carry that team by himself.

  • Yeah, I thought Kellen Winslow's issues may have been due to CTE but...ummm, now I don't unless he got it in grade school. Story I read was that he was a serious deviant. Players didn't want to room with him on the road because he'd watch porn and sit there on the bed, cranking it, in plain view. Heard his Hummer was in the parking lot, across from the Browns facility, and the staff was like "WTF?" Went over to see if something was wrong with him and caught him cranking it. Dude just has issues.

    My son is considering working as a conductor for Norfolk and Southern. However, he has been reading some pretty bad reviews posted by employees.  Anybody know somebody who works for the railroad? If so, what do they have to say about their job?

    My buddy actually is a conductor for one of the railroads and loves it. He's actually killed a few people (not by choice) so there is that perk, I mean hazard, to the job. (j/k) I am kidding about the "perk" but he freaks every time he takes someone out. Some stupid people want to play chicken with an object that large.

    Me too unfortunately.  The Raptors played like they had the title in the bag the last 3 minutes of game 5.  

    The worst is that they'll also be able to brag about coming back from down 3-1.

    I'll miss how everyone properly uses the quote feature without ever messing up.

    Ugh.....at the opposite end of the spectrum, like Reddit or even comments on popular articles, there's just too many people to really even be able to follow a conversation.  A couple of times I waded over to Reddit to read some GoT commentary.  It was just overwhelming. 

    I don't think message boards are dead but a lot of these type boards, that got their origin from high schools sports, are dying or on life support. Just not as many joining these types of sites and, frankly, with some of the stupidity I see posted on sites like FB, I'm not sure we'd want many of them joining. Like trying to have a conversation with a potato.

    Calf injuries are awful ....if he couldn’t play game 4....he can’t be better than 80% for game 5. If he’s inbetween I’d hold him out until needed in 2nd half... of not needed don’t use

    Conspiracy theorists saying he's healthy and sitting out to a) show them how important he is or b) will come back tonight to save the day and (see part a).

    I'll be honest, I've been thinking about shutting it down recently due to the low activity and the fact I'm losing money or barely breaking even each month on hosting vs ad revenue. I know I haven't been around much lately, mostly due to work being busy. But, yeah, it's pretty quiet around here as no one has picked up my slack, really.

    It would be great if folks posted new topics that were worthy of discussion. I tried it for a while but ran out of ideas/steam. That's really the key. Discussion worthy topics. Without them, there's really no point to posting.

    Not to rain on your (idea) parade but I've noticed this quite a bit with this type of message board. Seems like the "heyday" of message boards has gone away. A lot of the group that kept it thriving has grown up and moved on to other things. Not a lot of new blood coming on to these sites either. Just my observation.

    EDIT: And I'm not trying to sway you one way or the other. Frankly, it sucks and was fun while it lasted. Got to connect with a bunch of new people, whether civil or in debate, that I never would have.

    No, didn’t even read that post until now lol.

    It was just a fun way for me to say where he was going. I enjoy reports like that since I don’t seek them out on my own.

     

    Seriously, I don't think anyone here has a "source."  No worries. McCoy, as mentioned, would've been a nice luxury but he wasn't a necessity.

    I read Browns offered $10M; which is more than the Panthers offered.

    And the Rats supposedly offered double what the Panthers did (guaranteed) so I have to think a lot of this was about destination (family is closer to Charlotte) than who he thinks has the best chance to win.

    Well now that the terms of the deal are known, it stings a bit.  This type of deal would have been nice for the Browns.

    Have to think that was his preferred destination, over money. He also said he wanted to win over money which would've made the Browns or Rats the choice over Carolina, imo.  I'd imagine the Browns offered (or would have) more than that with $30+ million still available.

    Your sources suck. But better than Baltimore I guess.

     

    Yeah, guess you didn't see where I edited that post to include that Carolina was supposedly still in the mix, prior to your post?

    He's definitely going to the Rats.

    If he doesn't make his decision today, it's likely them. McCoy has said he wants to be in camp with his new team. Browns camp starts tomorrow and the Rats starts next week.

    edit: and now Carolina is supposedly still in the mix and he's negotiating between the three teams.

  • BR1986FB replied to "Browns Offseason 2019" at 09:45 am

  • Sounds like McCoy has eliminated Carolina which leaves it down to the Browns and Rats. He supposedly will make his decision this morning as he wants to be in camp with a team as they start up this week. Heard a lot of rumblings that he's choosing the Browns which means it's likely Baltimore.
