For those that may be questioning the Browns decision, someone posted this on a Facebook feed that I think details his experience in Cleveland. I was interested to see how he would play the rest of the season, being a Cleveland fan and all, but am not at all shocked this happened and frankly didn't even want them to draft him.

I just flipped to Inside the NFL and Marshall is like "I know Fitzpatrick. When his helmet came off. That wasn't brain trauma that's just who he is!"

Lakers will shock them.
Literally none of this matters. Pettine doesn't think he is good, so he isn't playing.
In the NFL if someone thinks you are talented you can LITERALLY tear open the scrotum of a four year old child and still be praised and paid.

Yep. Giants would need to blow a game.
Its weird how they've seemingly done everything in their power from mentioning what he did. I remember the first game back and they kept mentioning his lost season the year before, but that was it, no reasoning, nothing. Instead they heaped praise on how great he is.

I can see them playing over there in back to back weeks then getting a bye.
I would vote in Atwater, Boselli, Owens, Pace, Greene and Favre
Elfforkusu

That's an interesting list. Favre and TO are locks, everything else is tough.
do you even watch football? Good lord. The vast majority of organizations are blown up every three to five years.
Off the top of my head the only winning teams that have had the same coach for 5 years or more are:
Ravens
Steelers
Patriots
Giants
Packers
Seriously, what fantasy world are you living in where coaches inherit a good situation and leave (Aka get fired) and it's still a good situation. They wouldn't have been fired if the situation was good.
Joe Buck is the worst with this. Didn't even say he was suspended. Said that Peterson "unfortunately missed a year on the commissioners exempt list" as though he was hurt or something.
I feel like during the packers game he eluded to getting into it later, or maybe he was saying that's a topic of another time...just seems a like a real shit thing to never talk about. I know he's been a better player than Greg Hardy, but dude deserves to be exposed just as much.

To some degree I agree. And while I think if he showed himself to be a great player then those issues happened, no one would bat an eye. But he hasn't shown himself to be good nor get better and has been a headache during the evaluation process that they had to say enough.

In other news, I'm off to Gataland for thanksgiving. If I don't come back, let it be known that my last words will be Fuck the Steelers.
Vague, but you're probably right.
Edwerderespn: Rex Ryan defense pressured Tom Brady on 20 of his 40 dropbacks, highest pct QB under duress in 7 years. Still #Bills couldn't beat him

Godspeed my friend. Godspeed.
For Tom Brady, it was the worst day in 7 years.
For Russell Wilson, it was every Sunday.

Hurrr duuurrr 15th ranked o line. Obvious is obvious and all that.
Why are you mad at facts?
I've never seen someone have such a hard time dealing with a great team.
Mad? Not the word here, its more baffled that anybody could actually buy into that.

2nd in Most Points Scored (323)
1st in Fewest Points Allowed (182)
1st in Highest Point Differential
1st in Highest Margin of Victory
1st in Score Pct (Score on just over 50% of all drives)
Still undefeated
All in the back of an 'atrocious' OL.
Hurr durr indeed.
Meanwhile Broncos are bringing in stay at home dad Ponder for a look.
Better than the pro 3?

Don't tell him.
Poor Kave_Man getting so emotional.
Keep beating that drum.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
WAIT, I'm sorry for his pain and I agree with him.
TALK ABOUT IT, CALLER. I feel his pain and empathize with my fellow fan and countryman. You're no jerk, you don't go out with the prostitutes (strippers okay tho), drinking in bars, and don't act like a jerk. This is *TO voice* my team yo and we're better off without some primadonna future SEC analyst solid college quarterback.
BG, which QB do you think we should take in the draft next year? I realize it's early but who are you looking at?
The reality drum?

TO stats are amazing if you look past his personality.
He is a spoiled ass bitch. Not to mention a cheater and probably racist and facist.
Speaking of which. When Trump takes over and gives the entire Northeast to the Pats do you guys think they will throw me in a cell to rot or just shoot me in the face for my past comments?
