Trading away a generational talent that provides one of the few reasons I watch this team anymore seems like a Browns thing to do.
Waiting another year to take a flyer on a qb that we'll have to develop...... and when (or if) the qb is ever ready, our playoff caliber defense will be well past their prime.
It's great to be a Browns fan.
As soon as the offense is built the defense will be aged out and need rebuilt. Extremely poor roster construction.
Just food for thought. Haslam is invested in European soccer, American soccer, the NBA and the NFL. I would think PPV events can't be far behind..........
"Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!"
The Great NFL QB Shootout! LIVE from Madison Square Gardens only on PPV Sunday May, 10th at 8:00 P.M. EST
We'll have the reigning Browns starter Shedeur Sanders battling it out with back-up Dillon Gabriele and the Browns latest QB dark horse to be named at a later date.
First they will have QB passing drills to measure accuracy. Next will be scrambling drills to measure their escapability and mobility.
And for the grand finale a cage grudge match to the death to determine the future starting QB of the Cleveland Browns!
LIVE on PPV! Tickets to see the event live and in person are available now through Ticketmaster.
And any dumb ass knows you don't continue shooting at someone once there is no longer a threat. Some of you keep trying to make excuses for those second and third shots when there is none.
That's YOU talking. A quote from your post. Post number 2131121
Exactly. That's why those second and third shots should have never been taken. How much did you have to drink last night?
Try actually reading the thread in its context rather than trying to find a gotchya moment. There is none.
The word "continue" means follow up shots not the initial one. But I get it. English is hard.
There is no competitive balance within the constraints of the pay structure. That couldn't be any more obvious.
What you have is a bunch of billionaires who appear not to want that balance or players fighting against that balance. Possibly both. I don't know enough about the situation to say.
There are examples like the NFL who have salary caps. That may not be totally fair to owners in smaller markets but it's as close as they have been able to come.
Either owners don't want that in MLB or the players union doesn't.
I actually see things much differently than that. If they don't think the QB they've been searching for is in this draft, I see every possibility they will trade down again for another first round pick in next years draft.
Another complication is that teams at the bottom of the draft have less needs. That's why they're winners and more complete teams. Teams selecting before us in round 2 have already gotten their #1 need and have the luxury of scooping up any remaining gems left on the board. If there are truly any WR steals left in this draft by that point, I look for them to be snatched up late first or early second round. We hear the talking heads say a lot of things every year before the draft. How deep or how weak certain positions are and projections of where players will be selected. Like Shedeur Sanders being a first round draft pick. Over the years I've learned not to take what they say as serious as some people do. But to each their own.
I don't think he is trying to destabilize NATO, either, but I do think he is firmly taking the stance that the U.S. is done with getting told what to do by NATO/U.N.
I'm only picking out this part to respond to because I gotta let the rest of your post simmer in my brain a little longer.
I thought we were sick of having to do everything/direct everything in NATO. That NATO has to grow a pair and start acting like adults and make decisions without the US having to bless lead all the time? At least that was the story behind us pulling back on Ukraine.
Patrick Mahomes is my all time favorite QB. Love watching him play. He does what most other QB's cannot do. At the same time I usually root for his team to lose... Figure that one out. lol
This is a tribute cover done the day Bobby died. One of my favorites of his songs. A song about heartbreak and loss. Of letting go no matter how much it hurts.
Same for me. As you know, I'm in one of those communities now, While I engage in very small-scale agriculture, I sell all of my stuff locally so these things don't affect me much, but I see it all around me. Even the local beef ranchers who also sell everything local are hit by it all because the input costs on everything are higher. Fertilizer, lime, diesel, seed... those things are the pillars of an operation, so even if you can sell everything locally, your cost-to-consumer is going to be higher because you still have a mortgage and tractor payments to make in addition to all those other inputs. Fertilizer for 100 acres can easily hit $15k-$20k depending on your soil type and the target crop.... then it takes a fair bit of diesel to run the tractor to till, seed, and spread that fertilizer. It's tough to make those costs back.
Germany, UK, Nordic countries... Most of Europe are far far left of where the Democrats are. None of them are communist or kissing cousins to communism.
Donald Trump did not go into politics to make China great again. But that is what the latest poll of global public opinion from the European Council on Foreign Relations suggests he has done in the eyes of the world.
A year on from Trump’s return, in countries across the globe, many people believe China is on the verge of becoming even more powerful. Even before Trump’s dramatic intervention in Venezuela, his aggressive “America First” approach was driving people closer to China. Paradoxically, his disavowal of the liberal international order may have given people licence to build stronger links to Beijing, since they no longer feel the need to fall in line with a US-led alliance system. Meanwhile, “the West” seems to be a spent geopolitical force for the foreseeable future. America’s traditional enemies fear it less than they once did—while allies now worry about falling victim to a predatory US.
This splitting of the West is most visible in Europe, and in what others think of Europe. Russians now regard the EU as more of an enemy than they do the US; and Ukrainians look more to Brussels than to Washington for succour. Most Europeans no longer consider America a reliable ally, and they are keen to rearm. These are the main findings of a new poll of 25,949 respondents across 21 countries conducted in November 2025—one year after Trump’s triumphant victory in the last presidential election—for ECFR and Oxford University’s Europe in a Changing World research project, the fourth in a series of such global surveys. While the data predate Trump’s operation in Venezuela, many of the trends identified here seem to prefigure it, and one imagines they might even be reinforced by thisintervention.
The world appears to be becoming more open to China; or at least not fear it—an evolution that is in keeping with dominant Chinese interpretations of global geopolitics. As ECFR set out in The Idea of China last year, Xi Jinping and others believe the world is experiencing “great changes unseen in a century”, entailing (although not confined to) a power shift from West to East. One way the Chinese are dealing with this—and with America’s hegemony—is to work with other countries to “democratise international relations” by giving non-Western countries more of a voice. In a global order in which (as this year’s survey shows) publics feel their countries are freer than ever to choose their friends, the results of the poll will be music to the ears of decision-makers in Beijing. For decision-makers in Europe, however, the question is how to live in the truly multipolar world many Europeans have long dreamed of, but perhaps never imagined would take shape in quite this way. They also worry the Venezuela intervention legitimises the idea of China and Russia having their own spheres of influence.
The deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law in November 2025, for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release the files was December 19, 2025, though the DOJ stated it would need "a few more weeks" to complete the release due to newly discovered documents. Which they admitted in the article above was "less than 1% of the Epstein files."
The last major batch of documents released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) came on December 23, 2025, consisting of nearly 30,000 pages.
So their "claim is" they will release them in batches as they go through them. It's been 22 days since a single file has been turned over.
Since Republicans are issuing contempt of congress charges, where is the contempt charges against the DOJ? How much longer will they exempt from following congressional orders?
I think you are getting to the meat of it. Disagreeing with the fed chair isn't unprecedented. Calling him names and attacking him verbally in public took it to another level. And now with investigations by using the DOJ as a tool against him has far exceeded anything close to normal and is a very dangerous precedent.
