    WTF? now, the browns want to move? I guess stadiums are now obsolete in 25 years.
    Stadium seems fine to me,  but it's in a bad location,  pinned against the lake on I-90. Where they are looking is where the famous Ford  351C was built.  That plant closed a long time ago but the property is huge and sits right where 71, 480 and the Ohio Turnpike come together.  10 minutes from where I grew up.  Would have been great to see games that close. 
    I can only imagine what a nightmare the flats must be on game day. 
    The Flats are a mile away so that is a little bit of the problem.  But mostly because Haslam can't monetize those bars.  There are no bars next to the stadium, so the muni-lot is just a shit show of drunken madness.  What Haslam really wants to do is what Leonis was trying to do in Alexandria with the Wizards and Capitals.  He wants to build the stadium and then bars and restaurants on his property.  And that Ford plant area is plenty big.  It's fucking huge.  So it would be a huge economic boom for him personally.  But also for Brook Park/Berea area which is pretty run down because the plant closed.  While I don't love taking money out of the city, the city is part of the county.  It would be good in the long run I think.  
    Ah... I thought the area of the stadium was also considered the flats. 

    I get it... Kraft has Patriot Place and it's pretty f'ing impressive... now all he needs is a winning football team which I don't see happening anytime soon. 
    The winning starts in London over breakfast this Sunday.
    I won't be holding my breath.
    Jags are in disarray. This is one of the winnable games for the Pats.
     but I have zero faith in this coaching staff. 
    Friggin' Van Pelt and that enormous (and apparently empty) head calling run after run on first down. Let the kid throw the ball, especially in some non passing downs so the D can't tee off.
    I don't think AVP is even 1/4 of the problem... the fish rots from the head down, and Kraft f'ed up huge by bringing in a guy w/ zero head coaching experience. He was puffing out his chest as recently as a couple weeks ago over the Mayo hiring, and the guy looks like a deer in the headlights. 

    It doesn't help that so many defensive players are injured, but still in all... Mayo is in way over his head and I'll be surprised if he hasn't already lost the team with the way he's calling some of them out to the media. 
    Never understood what public shaming accomplishes.  One of the key leadership rules is "praise publicly,  criticize privately".

    went to bed close to start of 4th quarter. seemed by then the steelers were chugging on all cyliders even though it was still close at 22-15.

    getting to see wilson bring his skill set to the mix was .... relieving once he threw the first couple long balls. hope he can impart some wisdom to fields in that regard. what is that? touch, technique, feel? combo of the three?

    stiil master fucking moves grabbing both qb's for this season.

    Public shaming pretty much signals when things have gone off of the rails.  A good operation doesn't throw their own under the bus.

    Wilson has long been known as a great deep ball thrower. Don't think he can impart that to Fields. It's a gift (practiced for sure) that some have and many do not. He is one of the best at it of his generation.

    my bad….thought you were talking about scott van pelt, even tho it made no sense why SVP would be calling for runs, unless he was calling a game, which he doesn’t do.

    however, SVP also has an enormous and toaster shaped head and he sucks.

    Can't believe Bowles was still throwing the ball with all his starters in. That Godwin injury looked bad. They did almost get me a miracle comeback win in fantasy with Baker. Lost by one.

    never understood teams trading with the Pats during Brady's era and don't understand trading with KC now.  why help the best team?  For a lousy draft pick.  makes no sense to me.

    I think it’s a money thing. Titans can suck with or without Hopkins. They’re not going anywhere, anytime soon. I’m pretty sure the Chiefs aren’t getting vintage Hopkins, but I could be wrong.

    Can he get open?  

    Agree.  Teams should know better.

    In the NFL, you get two games for PED’s. In MLB, you get blackballed from the HOF.
