Marvin Lewis a fucking moron, this is just another dumb comment in a long line of dumb comments. Remember his input on concussions?

The Brown family spared no expense, practicing underneath the highway? Our high school teams around here have better facilities!

Seeing as the Browns, Cavaliers, and Indians all practice at completely tax payer funded facilities then it is probably the tax payers of Cincinnati's fault. Stupid people!

False. Blatantly false, actually.

Cavs put 5.5 mil into their 27 mil practice facility.
The Browns (Jimmy Haslam) completely renovated the offices in Berea, that was privately funded in 2013.

If you're talking about the Sin Tax, then you're just flat wrong. The Sin Tax may only be used for building requirements like heating/cooling, handicapped accessibility, drainage, etc. Only things to keep the facilities within federal regulations/code.

Lol so the Browns paid for office renovations, gotcha. And there are probably zero tax abatements for the teams that went along with funding the practice facilities? Did the city of Beachwood pay for 80% of Eaton Corps New headquarters? I am just going to assume they did. I am also really glad they pay for their utility bills. Noble of them. Much like how a teenager is independent because they pay their own car insurance and for their texting plan. My bad.

I mean, just don't lie. If it isn't true, don't say it. Not difficult. Don't know how many times this crap needs to be talked about.

my bad, didn't mean for my snarky comment comparing the Bengals practicing underneath an off ramp to where most NFL teams practice to stir the pot. And also bringing up the Brown family history of being less than generous with their $$$ is my bad as well.


Especially when quoting a post involving a little person trolling the Bengals HC.

I think above all else, I've got faith in Kyle Shannahan. Even in all of recent losses, there have been huge plays available if the QB could execute. That is with a QB that is fairly immobile and doesn't garner a lot of respect for arm strength by opponents.

Love or hate Manziel, his legs need to be respected. I think the inside run game will be much more effective this Sunday than it has been since Mack got hurt. There will have to be a focus by OLB's and safeties on the boundary to prevent Manziel from getting on the edge. I think the biggest winner with the QB switch will be Isiah Crowell. When Crowell and West put up decent YPC on Sunday understand it's a reflection of at least half a man out of the box if not more depending on situation.

I kinda feel like Manziel will play pretty well. Again, I think my trust Shannahan in has a ton to do with that. But I feel like they'll give him some easy throws and rely on the check-down, but at the right times take deep shots. I think this could be a Josh Gordon special as well....I'd be pretty suprised if he doesn't hit on at least one deep ball.

Look at the Johnny effect on Fox's coverage areas. Map 1 is what it was like before Johnny was announced starter. Map 2 is what it became after the announcement.

Really interesting map. The game that suffered coverage-wise was GB/Buffalo. That have very limited geographic appeal except for Aaron Rodgers, who they clearly figured is such a draw that most folks without a particular stake in the game would want to watch him just for fun.

They've clearly determined (rightly, I think) that watching Manziel's debut is probably going to be a lot more fun -- and satisfy a lot more curiosity -- then will watching Rodgers do something amazing for the 100th time.

Might skip the Browns game to watch Brady Quinn call the Carolina game, where Derek Anderson will be starting.

Ahh memories.
