These other teams have a lot of nerve going out and trading for good veteran players. Mike needs to give them a good stern talking to, explain his “pay as you go” strategy. They’ll see the light, they’ll abandon these advanced cap management tactics, and they’ll see that these multi billion dollar businesses really are at their best when they are run the way your grandad ran his corner store.

Question 6: Raiders: “we play the Bengals in a couple weeks. Does Mike Brown really run a dice game on the food and beverage loading dock?”

Question 5: Raiders: “Have you seen that new Anna Kendrick movie on Netflix?”

Question 4: Raiders: “Zach, you accumulate sacks at a rate of 1 sack per 3 NFL seasons played. Can you bring that up to, say, 2 sacks per 5 NFL seasons played?”

Question 3: Raiders: “Look at these 3 large photographs, can you identify the quarterback? Do you know what a quarterback looks like?”

Question 2: Raiders: “what sort of satanic wizardry did you use to get yourself picked in the 3rd round by the Bengals?”

I see the info gathering beginning as follows: Raiders: “Dude, what the fuck happened?”

Eagles seem to be finding it. But so are we.

Zac Taylor better figure out how to adjust to what this Browns defense is doing. I’m tired of this shit.

Would be great to go up two scores on these guys.

Just bad decision by Joe, hopefully he’ll straighten that out.

Keeping Myles off the field with ST touchdown.

Browns are in shambles. Go Bengals.

Emotionally destroyed by my dog’s death in 2018, haven’t been able to get another. Just can’t deal with it when they go.

Can you imagine being a builder, a general contractor. You bid on Cincinnati’s new (hypothetical) stadium and you get it. Mike Brown is in charge of the project and you have to negotiate every change order, every material substitution, every schedule change, with him. You’d be smiling as you jumped off a bridge somewhere.

Haslam did choose a strange time to alienate his fan base. They were already irate. He never ceases to amaze.

I can’t watch that whole thing TJ but I assume OBJ is Orlando Brown Jr, and I also assume he’s revealing whether the play is a pass or a run with his stance or his setup. Defenses reading him somehow.

The Browns keep playing Watson even though logic says sit him. Why? A theory: First, the NFL recently said it is still investigating Watson’s most recent lawsuit/payoff. The Browns are saying nothing other than we like Watson and he gives us the best chance to win, and he’s our starter. My theory is that the NFL is building a case to kick Watson out of the league. Their evidence will be the same evidence that Haslam uses to void his poison pill contract. Haslam likely knows this, so to avoid the appearance of impropriety, and to avoid claims of collusion, they sit there and act like everything is ok. This sleazy back room shit is completely consistent with Haslam’s past behavior. He orchestrated a complex scheme to defraud his truck stop customers, and recently orchestrated a scheme to fraudulently pump up his truck stops’ value to get more $$ on the sale to Berkshire Hathaway.

I love Lucas Oil. I’ve attended 3 big ten championship games there and it’s a great setup. Here’s a great idea - Mike sells the team to Bezos and he builds Lucas Oil 2.0 and we all live happily ever after.

Why are you dragging me into this?

Browns admins are all in on analytics, it’s their whole thing. I wonder if there is a theory or a method for what happens when none of your analytics-based moves work out. I guess we’re seeing it unfold? You just stubbornly keep playing your bust players until they get better or their contracts are up. Wait I just described Mike Brown.

Ok, I guess we’ll take Myles off your hands.

If they trade Garrett the fans up there will riot. What would compensation for Myles Garrett be? He’s a game changing player.

Best football column I’ve read all year. Highly recommended.

It’s a win. That’s all I can say about it. Chase Brown is starting to distinguish himself at RB. Moss is important though, you need 2 good ones.
