Shadeur Sanders being a whiny little bitch and hypocrite. I'm shocked, I say, shocked. Not that I support this kind of thing, but if he'd just shrugged his shoulders and said "good one, got me," I think that'd have gone a long way to making him appear less insufferable.
FWIW, I rewatched the Alamo Bowl and the Colorado v. Nebraska game highlights and ... putting aside my dislike of the guy, I still don't get what I'm supposed to see that shows his potential as an NFL QB. The best I can come up with is that he's a project with a butt load of bad habits he desperately needs to be coached out of, starting with his tendency to hold onto the ball too long. And I'm not sure he's willing to listen, in fact it seems like he kind of isn't. I didn't see anything to suggest he can pick up second choice receivers, that he can really throw well while scrambling, etc.

Solid way to open up the draft tbh. I would imagine the team name would change depending on the venue, but when you are trying to make this thing into a spectacle when it could easily be done within the span of 2 hours, you gotta do stuff like this. God its so depressing to see the NFL just poop out hundreds of millions every year

It'd make sense if Sanders gave the phone number to every team instead of teams that interested top QB prospect. If this is how it happened, I doubt we'll hear anything more because the NFL will quietly reprimand those involved and put a stop to any additional investigation ASAP.
This is one my favorites. Partially because A.J. Hawk was a Packer. Partially because the 2006 NFL draft was the first draft I was seriously deep into the draft process.
Ofc I wanted Mario Williams or D'Brickashaw Ferguson, but was pretty convinced they were never gonna fall to #5. Yeah, A.J. Hawk was never a dominant superstar, but he was an above average starter his entire career and it's not like a lot of the prospects picked after him panned out.
For all the criticisms of the NFL, the shield knows how to own, operate, and expand a business.
Imagine drafting Baker Mayfield; a QB who actually wants to be there and turn the franchise around. Proceedingly, the franchise appears to turn the corner by winning a playoff game on the road against a division rival, then fucking get rid of Baker Mayfield because he was playing with a busted shoulder. Next, because God knows why, trading the barn for a QB that hasn't played for more than a year, is coming off a major injury, has a zillion sexual-related lawsuits, and decide to give him an absurd, fully guaranteed contract.
The Browns are a mistake.

In another couple of years she's going to have to get her legs lengthened.
The Browns and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

At the very least, the football race. They can't even hang their hats with the Lions at this point since they've seemingly fixed their program. Hell, their in-state rivals, the Bengals, manage to occasionally put a good product on the field even though their ownership pinches all the pennies.
You'd think a lot of the Cleveland's root issues would have, at the very least, deviated elsewhere after Haslem bought the team. Nope. Somehow everything got worse. I'm just gonna assume Haslem kept all the football operations staff and the only difference is he occasionally butts in and forces the GM or coach to make a terrible decision. Based on what I've heard, it's a foregone conclusion in football circles that Haslem was the reason the Browns drafted Shedeur. This clip of their reaction solidifies it:

While everyone is talking about Shedeur Sanders, I’m kind of personally surprised that the Giants might be considered lucky in the future. Their first round pick along with the addition of Russell Wilson might make them a Wild Card team in their next season.
Though, I can’t easily predict what the NY Jets will do. At best, it might be the same thing, but who knows what could happen.

I expect two videos. One of you clutching your little Todo dog crying at the Browns getting two QBs and the other you doing a desk pop in joy at the Browns finally having a franchise QB.
Sincerely, I hope you get a new owner.

Glad this is resolved. Maybe the NFL can investigate domestic abuse or murder by players with the same level of interest as a prank call to a 5th rounder.

Who knows. The great thing about football is, that as much as we all pretend to know which teams are good/bad, teams can flip the script within during the offseason if they can get a healthy culture with the right guys. As long as a team has consistent QB play and rock solid fundamentals they'll have a shot at the playoffs. After that happens, who knows. Ask the 2011-2012 Patriots how much an undefeated season matters against the Giants. Anything can happen when a fundamentally sound football team gets hot at the end of the season.
If there are Browns fans have any expectations they drafted a franchise QB this year, I've got a bridge to sell them. I can understand the optimism behind potentially stumbling into a good QB that fell in the draft, but the reality is those QBs are from the 3rd (back half no less) and 5th round. It's not outside the realm of possibility if the Browns come out of training camp thinking "we might actually have a guy here" after training camp, but anyone believing they selected the franchise's future last weekend is smoking the devil's lettuce.
He's gonna have to dig up some crazy dirt, spanning years, for that to happen. This isn't the NBA, where theClippers owner to got the axe for saying some gamer words. We all saw much it took for Dan Snyder to get the boot.
ROFL. If only the moron didn't fucking record himself and post it on the Internet. I'm curious if he masked his number or made a standard phone call like a dunce. Hopefully the retard's life isn't ruined over this, but losers on Reddit and Xitter will certainly try because he's hwite and crushed a nignog's ego.
God, I'm glancing at the reddit threads and it's unbearable. They're calling him a piece of shit and "Wow, who think prank calls are funny at 21. What a loser." when the overwhelming majority was giggling over it a few days ago. I get that the prank was mean-spirited and cruel, but no one was harmed. No one got hurt, nor could have gotten hurt. I'd understand if the dude was calling and saying "I'm gonna kill you, you're whole family, and you're dog", but he did it for the lulz. Lulz were had and redditors are taking the opportunity to grandstand over the lulz that were had. Soley because the target was an egotistical nignog who was rapidly experiencing the difference between reality and expectations, on a national level.

When you don't have an offense that scores points, you better have a defense that can stop the other team from scoring them. It's like the 80s Giants all over again.

NGL a Tim Couch jersey would slap right now
I have no idea if they are competent at running their business or if they just have a product that can't fail right now

In this day and age, the top defenses don't stop teams from scoring. A defense is considered top 10 if they only three TD's a game. IMO, a defense is good if it can stop teams from scoring when it matters, but a bunch of turnovers and sacks certainly do help. I doubt we'll ever see a stalwart, stonewall of a defense again.
I'll always have a soft spot for QB's who are considered busts, but were drafted by clown franchises. Especially ones who are broken beyond repair by the time their turn as "the franchise QB" is over. A lot of them may have been legitimately awful, but there's a reason certain teams perpetually struggle at QB and in general.
On one hand, how the fuck does anyone expect someone that's sacked a bazillion times (David Carr), or cycles through coaches on a yearly basis, to pan out? On the other, you've got guys like JaMarcus Russel, but that kinda feeds back into the clown franchise argument. It's REALLY WEIRD how certain teams rarely have issues spanning multiple seasons and other teams have similar issues spanning decades.
It's why I hold guys like Dan Campbell/Brad Holmes in absurdly high regard. There are reasons why the Lions had been a laughing stock for more than 50 years, and they came in and literally changed how the Lions operate as a franchise. They managed to combine two of my favorite things! Football and destroying bureaucracy. (Seriously, could write a book on organizational transformation for businesses and students over what was accomplished.)
You've also got Andy Reid who's a wizard in his own right. The man has turned two franchises into perennial contenders, stretching over something like 25 years? It's one thing to get to the top, it's a whole 'nother to stay there. I was unironically happy for him when he got his first Super Bowl with the Chiefs because I don't think he would ever get enough credit for being the football wizard that he is. (Personally, I blame Donovan McNabb for being a bum that Andy Reid fooled people into thinking he was a competent QB.) He should legitimately be in discussions for best head coach
All this fucking rambling to say, LOL at the Cowboys. LOL at the Browns. Maybe LOL at the Raiders. Possible LOL at the Colts. (Assuming their issues stem from Irsay and not their GM.) Those organizations are dysfunctional clownshow who's peak is mediocrity and will rot for generations unless people die.
Love it or hate it, the NFL didn't reach that point by accident. They are working off a LONG term strategy. Those shitty international games (specifically referring to last year, week 1 in Brazil. Fucking awful football where players were slipping all over the field) aren't part of a 5-10 year plan. It's a 50 year plan to spread the game and make football the dominant sport amongst the lesser, undeveloped, non-US societies of Europe, Australia, and South America.
Now what's their long-term plan? No idea. There's been talk of a team located in Europe for years now, but I've got no clue how they plan to make the logistics work. They're definitely building the fanbases up, but teams are already fucking miserable over the associated travel. The Jaguars seem to have it down to a science, but any team that goes over there has to heavily alter their schedule regardless.
A permanent team would have a pretty sweet homefield advantage considering the away player's bodily clock is telling them it's time to go to bed or take a dump. However, the Europe team would still need to travel to the US for 8 games, so the NFL is gonna need a crackpipe and several autists to craft a reasonable schedule.
