First the fans have to deal with 1-31 Hue Jackson

ROFL. Imagine going 0-16 and NOT firing the head coach. Shit was so hype. Them tying their first game (against Pittsburgh no less) and winning their third after Baker entered the game. I vaguely remember free Bud Light whenever Cleveland got their first win? Then Hue Jackson getting fired mid-season and immediately hopping over to the Bengals that same season.

In retrospect, Hue Jackson may be a cryptololcow. The Bengals stunt, him trading the farm for an old Carson Palmer ,after protocow Al Davis died, (who was a bum with the Raiders, but went on to have a revival in Arizona, LOL), going 0-16, and claiming he was losing on purpose because Haslam told him to. Talk about the Peter principle. He was what Eric Bienemy would have evolved into if anyone ever gave him the reigns.

The Browns are a clown car of an organization. Just four years ago they were finally relevant for the first time in their (reactivated) existence, hot new QB, beat the shit out of the geriatric Steelers in the Wild Card, and they've fallen off the cliff to where now they're drafting two completely opposite rookie QBs that they're somehow supposed to develop at the same time while also probably starting a 40 year old Flacco as QB1. I know the new Browns have always been a dumpster fire, but they were the kind of dumpster fire that you would feel sad for most of the time, rooting for them to get back on their feet.

First the fans have to deal with 1-31 Hue Jackson, and now they have to deal with whoever the hell decided it was a good idea to throw 230 million dollars down the drain completely burning the team alive. At this rate Ohio is gonna be pure Steelers and Bengals country the way this team seems determined to obliterate any possible good will they have. All you had to do was throw the fans a bone and draft Will Howard to compete for QB2, hometown Buckeye, no potential character issues, but nope, this is the reality we get instead. At this point fire the owner and every single piece of management, this is S-Class ineptitude.

I live in the Rust Belt and have a few friends that are aficianodos of the shit coloured team, I never miss a chance to rub it in. Easily one of the worst run teams in US/Canadian pro sports.

No one tells them to be humble because they all actually accomplished something. The younger Sanders had never won anything of significance--not even a bowl game.

Deion, while being an incredible distraction, was probably in the top five of most physically gifted players in NFL history, and he had an insane work ethic. There are stories of him buying one of the first portable DVD players and thousands of dollars worth of batteries to be able to watch more film on the team plane.

Teammates also hated him because he was a diva, wouldn't practice and behaved as if he was above the team.

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.

One thing to remember about that Packers squad; they didn't use toradol like the other teams did. So AJ was out there balling the way he did without being amped up on probably the best pain killer on the planet. I remember when he mentioned that on McAfee and everyone was astonished by it. Like holy shit you were THAT good?

Tim Couch is woefully underrated by Browns fans. He destroyed his body to get that hunk of shit franchise to the playoffs.

hilariously terrible take by man who has almost certainly never watched a Colorado Buffaloes game

All his sports takes are pretty comical, like someone that vaguely knows about sports in the abstract from watching the morning shows, and maybe even puts ESPN on in the background sometimes, but has never actually watched a full game.

It was cracking me up watching him butcher most of the Eagles names at the WH Ceremony the other day, and have clearly no idea what he was reading when listing off the team's accomplishments on the year. Also being really homoerotic about Saquon.
 
I want to thank the Browns organization and for once it's not for being a retarded clownshow everyone can laugh at. Eagles beat reporter and insider Reuben Frank joked about the Eagles taking a flyer on Sanders if he fell during a post first round podcast. I laughed until I saw Shadeur sliding to the 5th.

It was night 3 and pick 145 was coming up. Would they really do it? Would the value proposition be too high to pass up? The organization is known for developing QBs. Get Sanders looking good in camp and a couple preseason games and then trade him to a desperate team in Week 7 for a 4rth, maybe 3rd? Howie values draft picks, even future ones, a lot because he has the job security afforded to very few GMs.

Good god. They're gonna do it aren't they? Thank you Jimmy Haslam for forcing your team to get another lockerroom cancer at gunpoint. Other trustworthy Eagles insiders have said there were rumblings that the Eagles were going to take him at 145 and they did end up taking a developmental QB in the 6th. Tanner "The Mormon Missile" McKee has getting some buzz around the league and the Birds want to make sure the stable is full if they can move him.
 
I was super concerned about the 49ers not taking any early OL picks, but according to the autismo film study channel I follow they had planned on taking either or both of the 2 picks the Raiders had right before SF at 98 and 99, with SF at #100, fucking hell...

The NFL decides to fine Atlanta and their DC, which combined is the price of a new house. All over a prank.

It's the NFL's own fault anyway. According to Rapaport, the original list of numbers was sent the select group of front office and coaches you'd expect. Sanders then got a free phone in a promotion deal to specifically use during the draft and they sent the updated number over the waiver wire which goes to a fuckload more people. Ulbricht wouldn't have had the number to begin with if the league office wasn't retarded according to Ian.

Either way, here's the apology press conference for Christ's sake.
Reddit is currently jerking itself over "hurr durr he's not a kid, he's 21 hurr durr". I get the league fining the team and coach over mishandling confidential info, but you'd assume Jax Ulbricht called Shedeur a nigger with all of the fake outcry.

So this is a fine to protect the league more than punishing the kids for the prank call. They exposed the league's fuck up and you can't have that. Gotta protect the shield

Notice how nobody cared when this happened to Cooper DeJean and he's actually a talented football player and certified daughter dater.
 
Welp, since I'm a Texans fan, I'm pretty happy about most of the draft.
Trading down 9 spots to pick up a future slant merchant and jump ball baiter Jayden Higgins, then a 331 pound bowling ball Aireonte Eresery for inside runs with Mixon.

I think the 3rd and 4th picks are interesting. I'm not sure if we are gonna keep the same run scheme with the new OC, but the signs are looking towards yes.
Jaylin Noel might be a decent punt returner, and super-depth WR.
Woody Marks is gonna be a solid back-up running back in the depth chart that will cause depth chart competition.
Dameon Pierce is gonna have his work cut out for him, and we will see who begins to actually take the minutes at RB2.
I'd hate to see DP31 go, but if he doesn't fit the scheme, it simply just won't work.

Still have a variety of gapping holes in the o-line that make me question if Demarco wants to lose his job, but that'll prob be a focus for another draft with the slew of picks from the LT trade.
It was either fix it now or fix it later. Hopefully CJ takes another step-up.
