You guys still don't know how this Browns shit works?

Browns hire some loser after the rest of the league fills their positions.

That loser picks a QB high, who proceeds to be a total bust.

Staff gets cleaned out, rinse repeat.

We have had bad defenses before, especially against the pass. What is not usual is how bad we were at tackling and in defending the run. I am not used to seeing a Steelers team that can't tackle for shit. Been awhile since I have seen that .

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Warrant details Hernandez connection to 2012 double homicide case:

A just-released search warrant provides new details into why Boston law enforcement authorities have identified accused killer and former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez as a suspect in a 2012 double homicide.

The document, filed as part of the probe and released Tuesday in Superior Court in Bristol, indicates police suspect Hernandez was in an SUV that circled a block waiting for the victims to enter their own vehicle before the 2 a.m. drive-by shooting. The silver SUV then pulled up next to the victims' car at a stoplight, and someone inside fired five or six shots in rapid progression, killing two and injuring one of the five men in the other car. The warrant does not indicate whether there is evidence that Hernandez was the man who pulled the trigger.

Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado were killed in the gunfire early on July 16, 2012, shortly after they left Cure Lounge with three of their friends. Earlier in the night, surveillance footage showed Hernandez and Alexander Bradley –who filed a civil lawsuit accusing Hernandez of shooting him in the eye in February – at the same Boston nightclub.

The men in the gray BMW sprayed with gunfire that night have no apparent connection to Hernandez, a Bristol native. Nothing in the document— a search warrant application for phone calls Bradley made while he was in prison in Connecticut — suggests a motive for the killings. The search warrant is the first public record released in the Boston homicide investigation, and the first detailed narrative of Hernandez's actions that night.

Bradley was incarcerated at Hartford Correctional Center last fall, charged as a fugitive witness after he avoided authorities who tried to subpoena him to appear before the grand jury probing the double slaying. Police obtained a warrant to access recordings of phone calls he made from prison after a Department of Correction official told a Bristol detective that Bradley was discussing details of the Boston homicide investigation on those calls, which were made between Oct. 4 and Oct. 15.

Prosecutors in the Boston case have not filed charges, but The Courant previously has reported that Hernandez is the target of the investigation into the shooting that occurred a month before he signed a five-year, $40 million contract extension with the Patriots.

Hernandez became a suspect in the Boston slayings after being charged with murder in the June 17 death of Odin Lloyd near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, Mass. The warrant indicates that authorities received an anonymous tip that, combined with their own memory of surveillance footage from the night of the shooting, led them to investigate the former tight end.

When a Boston detective learned of Hernandez's suspected involvement in Lloyd's death, he recalled noticing Hernandez at Cure Lounge when viewing surveillance footage the previous summer. Boston authorities then were informed of an anonymous call that North Attleborough police received from an employee of Rumor nightclub, the Boston establishment that Hernandez and Lloyd visited two days before Lloyd's death and the location at which prosecutors say the two men had a disagreement that eventually led to Lloyd's shooting.

Sharif Hashem, a security supervisor at Rumor, phoned North Attleborough police on June 22 and claimed to have information that the Lloyd shooting and the Boston double homicide were related, according to the warrant released Tuesday. He told authorities a patron of Rumor nightclub "accidentally spilled the beans in front of me."

As a result, Boston police reopened their probe with a focus on Hernandez. They since have seized the murder weapon in the case and towed the silver SUV they believe was used in the Boston shooting from a Hernandez family home in Bristol.

Surveillance footage from just after midnight on June 16 shows Hernandez arriving at a parking garage in Boston, driving a silver Toyota 4Runner with Rhode Island plates, the warrant states. The same car was seized in June from 114 Lake Ave., the Bristol home owned by Hernandez's uncle, after authorities recovered it during a search for evidence in the Lloyd case.

A different camera later captured Hernandez and Bradley entering Cure immediately after the victims, according to the document. Hernandez downed two drinks, and left with Bradley 10 minutes later. Surveillance footage shows them leaving the garage in the 4Runner around 1:30 a.m., with Hernandez in the driver's seat and Bradley in the front passenger's seat.

What the two men did next is unclear. But by the time the victims left Cure an hour later, a car resembling the Toyota was back in the area. As the victims walked to the same garage, the 4Runner was captured on surveillance footage looping the block, circling the victims at a slow speed, in the lane closest to the sidewalk.

Boston police responded to a call of shots fired at 2:32 a.m. A witness who was in the car with the victims and injured in the shooting told authorities that the other vehicle contained a driver and a rear-seat passenger. Other bystanders who called police to inform them of the shooting Shawmut Avenue and Herald Street in Boston's South End gave descriptions that roughly matched those of Hernandez, Bradley and the car they were driving, according to the warrant.

Evidence recovered at the scene led authorities to believe that the murder weapon was a .38- or .357-caliber handgun. Police in June seized a .38-caliber pistol as evidence in the case, after it was found in the trunk of a car driven by a Bristol woman following a crash in Springfield. Jai Lene Diaz-Ramos, who faces three illegal firearms charges, told police friends put the gun in her car.

The 4Runner towed in June had been parked in the garage of the Bristol home for about a year, and was covered in cobwebs, authorities said. It was a demo model from a rental company that was given to Hernandez in exchange for the star tight end's doing promotions. Company representatives told authorities that they had contacted Hernandez's agent about the car, but had not heard back from him, the warrant released Tuesday indicates. A cousin of Hernandez who lives at the house told authorities the vehicle was "Aaron's" and nobody drove it.

So word is Ross wants Gamble because it's a direct route to Harbaugh and he's at odds with the 9ers front office and contract is done in 2014....so Ross still has a boner for Harbaugh, fuck this shit...

Apparently Harbaugh was very interested in Miami job a day before meeting with Ross and Ireland but afterwords something put him off...Gee I wonder what

Only on unathletic quarterbacks and running backs. You are still allowed to KO special team players, most defenders, offensive lineman and running backs.

The rule changes don't explain why every running back looked like Adrian Peterson against our defense this year. I never had faith in our defense to stop anyone running the ball for short yardage and they pretty much failed almost every single time. It was amazing more coaches didn't catch on and just run it on us every 4 downs.

I know that is the problem too.

We have only one athletic player as a LB, Timmons. Hard for one guy to tackle everyone and be everywhere at once. I just wish we had drafted for this position a year or two ago and been grooming them to step up now. Now our options are to play old ass players who are too slow or young guys who don't know how to run a defense or where to be.

God we have so many needs on defense. :(

I dont believe that for a second. If he didnt want the job he wouldnt have taken the interview. My guess is either they wouldnt meet his financial demands, or he didnt like the balance of power. If the Browns absolutely had to have him they would have gotten him.

It wasn't about Kaep leaving, it was about Harbaugh leaving after next year.

Which is fucking hilarious, honestly. We are going to make him a very rich man the stories of he and Baalke being at odds are greatly exaggerated.

Serious question: if Gase leaves you think Elway would reach out to Kubiak for OC?
Click to expand...

Wouldn't be a bad choice for when Manning is done. Osweiler would be a good QB for him imo, but I think Gase stays until Manning is gone. He's hinted that much, but the allure of being the man might change that.

I really don't know though. I do know there were rumors that Elway would have taken Kubes as HC if he was available when they hired Fox, but it's all speculation.

He does? I was talking about Harbaugh

So Ross is looking for a GM that is a proven player evaluator and doesn't need GM experience, that's about the smartest thing he's done recently. He really should just hire from within so next year he can clean house completely with no hold overs.

Damn right!

jk, now I'm just yanking your chain man. Out of the three teams we could possibly play, the Niners were the team I wanted to play the least. I'm sure it'll be a good close hard-nosed physical game. Just hope we can get a win.

Bart Hubbuch ‏@HubbuchNYP
Favorite Petrino story: He was Jaguars' OC in 2001 when I covered them. Sneaked away to Auburn after season without telling Coughlin. (1/2)

Bart Hubbuch ‏@HubbuchNYP
Coughlin wasn't aware Petrino had left until Auburn announced his hiring. Coughlin was furious, supposedly never spoke to him again. (2/2)

Chiefs hope to extend Alex this offseason


The Kansas City Chiefs will try to extend the contract of quarterback Alex Smith this offseason be-fore he begins the final year of his current deal, a source said Wednesday.

Smith led the Chiefs as they went from 2-14 in 2012 to an 11-5 record and playoff appearance this season. He has one year left on a three-year deal he signed in 2012. The final year is worth $7.5 million, all of that in base salary, making Smith vastly underpaid compared to other quarter-backs of his experience and ability.

For example, Jay Cutler signed a seven-year, $126.7 million contract last week with Chicago. That deal included $54 million guaranteed in the first three years.

So SF loses Harbs and Alex and Kap in a three year period? Better win this year, I guess

He's been a damn good college coach. He's exactly the type of coach mid-tier programs should hire. Proven success with "who really gives a fuck" baggage that has nothing to do with how good a coach he is.

What is his status? He got hurt before the season right? I haven't heard anything of him since.

Hopefully he comes back with a vengeance next year...

Blew out his knee in the 2012 preseason with nerve damage. Broke his wrist right as he was finally recovering late this year, like week 10.

YES!

No. Maybe? Preseason will tell us a lot, but that's after the draft. So I suspect that if the Steelers select an ilb in the draft, they don't believe. And vice versa.

The Browns just dodged a bullet there.

This dude not only drafted Tim Tebow with a first round pick but he once traded a first round pick straight up for a second round pick.

What the hell is up with this revisionist history?

Tebow won the Broncos a playoff game (something Peyton Manning still hasn't done) and had one of the most entertaining and awesome runs ever to a season.
