    You could say that about almost all sports. Cheating is in human DNA.

    Just seems more prevalent in the MLB. Rarely do I see it in the NBA. The NFL has had it's share with steroids (Steelers perfected that) and the BS with the Patriots but it has a long, long history in MLB.

  • Baseball has always been one of the worst sports when it comes to cheating. Essentially it's in the league's DNA.

    I think they will dangle OBJ out there.  They paid a big price for him but he appears to be more drama than production.   No way ya are trading Chubb.  

    I don't think they "dangle" OBJ at all. I'll be very surprised if he's on their opening day roster. If they can get a good RG or T for him, I do it straight up. If TB12 needs a weapon, I trade Beckham straight up for Joe Thuney (guard) but I doubt the Hoodie would do that and Thuney is set to be a FA.

    I am not real sold on the sustainability of the Ratbirds offense.

    Steelers and Bengals will be better.   Pitt MIGHT be able to contend.   If Clev has a competent staff and shore up a few things in FA and the draft then there is no reason why they cannot battle the Ratbirds.  Ya have two top WR, a great RB, a QB who showed promise in his rookie year but I think believed his own hype who can drastically improve if he takes care of his own business.

    Their chances on the playoffs for next  year I think is 58/42.   It may just come down to something as stupid is if their opponents are on a hot or cold streak when they face the browns.   

    You're assuming all of the guys on offense will be back. Littlefinger loves him some draft picks so I could see any one of OBJ, Jarvis, Chubb or Hunt moved in trades.

    I think Mayfield will be fine if they trend him more toward game manager than gunslinger. I get the impression that Stefanski will use him (like Cousins) under center more, utilizing play action, in more 12 personnel packages. If you look at the analytics (cough, cough) the Browns had the most success last year running out of 2 TE sets.

    To me, the thing about Baltimore's offense (Captain Obvious) is Jackson's threat to run. Not only does this open up the passing game (respect the run) but what a lot of people don't take into account is that the DB's get gassed chasing him around, which gives the receivers an edge. What I found peculiar was the the Chargers pretty much put the book out on how to defend him in the 2018 playoffs sometimes using 7-8 DB's on defense that were fast enough to shadow him. I didn't see any teams try to do that this year.

    Last year they were all the talk and underachieved while the Ravens destroyed most everyone and Steelers were competitive more often than guessed. Don’t know who the 4th team in the division was.

    This year the Ravens will be getting the pub, Bengals will have actual reporters for them this year as Burrowmania hits. Big Ben will get some skeptical talk. Might be a good opportunity for the Browns to make some noise.

    The sad part, for Browns fans, is that going into 2019, Baker Mayfield was the darling of the division. Depending on if Roethlisberger bounces back, he'll (Mayfield) likely be the 4th best QB in the division.

    As far as the press conference yesterday, Littlefinger said he wasn't going to be the guy picking the players but then basically said he'd have the final decision so we have that to look forward to.

    Stefanski seems to give the impression that Mayfield is going to thrive under him. Let's just hope he garners the respect as a rookie HC.

  • Jesus...not looking forward to the AFC North having to face that twice a year for the next 10+ years.

    The one thing I do like about Stefanski is the Shanahan style blocking schemes and misdirections. The offense was so predictable last year. 

    Definitely. Also heard he's pretty good at calming down "diva" locker rooms. When Diggs had a meltdown earlier in the year, about not getting the ball enough, I guess Stefanski was key in helping calm the situation.

    If he gets the right coordinators, I think he could be fine. Heard Wade Phillips may be in the mix as the DC. If they could get him and bring in Kubiak, as a consultant, I think Stefanski would have a punchers chance. It's just these idiots in the front office that concern me.

    EDIT: Just saw this. Guess Wade Phillips will be coming onboard as the DC.

    At the least I can say that he looks and presents himself a lot better than “Kentucky Fried Freddie”. 
     

    Also....I will be boycotting Monty Brunswick’s thread. I see that he started it 5 hours ago and none of us have posted there. 
     

    I hope it gets locked. 
     

    Yeah, no interest in posting on a thread that thavoice started.

    As far as Stefanski goes, I've heard a lot of positives and some negatives on him. I think he can do ok as a HC but my worry is this same front office. In my DePodesta "gaffes" I forgot to mention drafting Corey Coleman over Michael Thomas.

    Jimmy going into the Hall and fucktard Jerry still hasn’t put his name in the Ring of Honor. 

    Not that it probably would've mattered to Jerry about hiring him but it sounds like Aaron Rodgers may have been a little right about Mike McCarthy being "lazy" after McCarthy admitted, after being hired, that he hardly studied any game film after saying he had watched "every play." Jerry is bad but he's not Hee Haw Haslam bad.

  • Terrible. Apparently, part of the reason McDaniels/Browns thought it wasn't a fit was because on Friday's the new head coach will have to submit his game plan to both Haslam and the analytics department. Sounds like an analytics guy will also have a headset during games.

    WTF?

    Sounds like he was hanging out with a "who's who" of Boston athletes like Paul Pierce (another Patriot whose name escapes me) when this happened.

    Went thru that whole “process” for two weeks just to hire the guy DePodesta wanted last year. SMH.

    This is my problem and why, after 45 years, I'm pretty close to saying "I'm out." With Moneyball/Littlefinger winning this battle, he now has the power. By bringing back Andrew Berry to be the GM, which has been speculated, he's basically "getting the band back together" from 1-31. Only thing they're missing is Sashi. The same stench is in the building when they should've blown it up.

    This was one of my biggest concerns because what has Depodesta ever done? By that I mean how many rings did he bring the A's? Yeah, none. These guys covet draft picks yet they don't know how to select NFL talent. OBJ, Jarvis, Chubb, Garrett & Bitonio are tasty little trade chips. Could see these clowns moving these players so they could put their "stamp" on the organization.

    Another reason I wanted McDaniels was because of Mayfield. Who'd you rather have trying to fix Mayfield's issues, the guy who worked with TB12 or the guy who helped "coach up" Kirk Cousins and even then there's skepticism that he was even the mastermind behind that (Kubiak). They will probably be looking for a new QB in 2021 too.

    I fucking hate what Hee Haw Haslam has done to this organization. Even Jammies Lerner was a better owner than him.

  • No longer in the playoffs but Julian Edelman arrested last night for vandalism according to TMZ Sports. Guess he was jumping on the hood of someone's Mercedes.

  • Titans pretty much followed the recipe on how to beat Baltimore. Shut down their running game, get a lead and make Lamar Jackson try to beat you with his arm. More times than not, it won't happen (Lamar throwing to win). When he's throwing the ball almost 60x's, they're in trouble.
