I'll try to type this slower.....................

When you are not having a football game at your location it isn't a halftime show. It's a concert. Unless of course you think TPUSA has the power to rewrite history in terms of football halftime shows.

I guess it's possible Jesus granted them that authority and they didn't tell anyone about it. Note to FATE.....

We're not crying about it. We're still making fun of you for it and listening to your lame excuses for it.

Thank you. Someone who has extensive experience and actually knows what they're talking about. As such you've never seen anything like this before.

While you have a lot more knowledge than I do this part of your post is what I was referring to when I mentioned The Defense Production Act (DPA) of 1950...........


Now that I've heard from someone who actually knows and understand this I'll ignore the uninformed noise in the room.

I think it is good to know that he knows Simpson.

His experience is helpful one way or the other.

Simpson could be there when we pick at 24.

The Browns have to turn over every stone. They know that quarterback is the priority of the entire organization.

So I suppose you forgot about trumps stimulus checks or Covid tax cuts? It's funny how some of you have such a selective memory. Well not funny per se.

Somehow I'm not surprised by any of that.

I certainly agree that it takes time to see what you have in a rookie in most cases. You do have immediate impact players but at the same time for most rookies it takes time to develop. But I think we have a pretty good clue as it pertains the odds. It's easy to look up the odds of player success by the round in which they are drafted. That's certainly not written in stone however. You will have drafts where you beat those odds then you will have drafts you never reach those odds. But in the end, over the long haul, the odds will work out on that I believe because those odds are based on decades of information.

Thus far it seems Berry beat those odds in last years draft. Fannin is the perfect example of that. A third rounder at TE who made an immediate impact. That happens but it's certainly not the norm.

So the question becomes did all of a sudden the light come on for Berry which now makes him some draft guru? Or was it that last year he simply had a good draft and it's not some indicator he is suddenly a draft savant? I guess we'll find out.

But back to my mention of long established odds of success by round of drafted players. Maybe Berry has failed to meet those odds for so long now that last year was the year he made up a little ground that gets him back as being somewhere in the neighborhood of even?

I don't really disagree with your premise but at the same time, why would a team want to accept such a deal with a team who doesn't even have a #1 QB and the way it looks they will be playing a project to see what they have in him at the position? That's not exactly a recipe that's conducive for a WR to have great stats. It seems as if that would be asking them to make a deal where the odds are already against them at the start.

"Illegal" refers to any action, agreement, or item forbidden by law, statute, or official regulations. It signifies a violation of criminal or civil law, often described as unlawful or illicit. While often used for criminal acts, it can also refer to breaches of administrative rules.

"Legal" refers to anything related to, based on, or permitted by the law. It describes actions, agreements, or items that conform to established legal systems and rules, as opposed to being illegal or unlawful. It also relates to the profession of law, including lawyers, courts, and legal rights.

At this point I'm just trying to be helpful since it seems you're having trouble grasping the concept as to the difference between the two.

Ex-Turning Point exec who challenged ballot integrity is sentenced for election fraud

Austin Smith, once an Arizona state representative and deputy to Charlie Kirk, was barred from running for office for five years for submitting fake signatures for his own re-election bid.

Contrary to claims you may have heard out of the MAGA movement, the face of election fraudulence is not a person of color or a perceived enemy of Donald Trump, but instead a preppy white man from one of the most well-heeled political organizations in the country.

Austin Smith, who served in the Arizona House while also working for far-right activist group Turning Point USA’s nonprofit branch, Turning Point Action, pleaded guilty in November to attempted fraudulent schemes and practices and to illegal signing of election petitions. As I explained at the time, Smith’s plea to election-related fraud charges was particularly rich when you consider that Turning Point Action has played a major role in lobbing false allegations of election-rigging at Democrats.

Smith was sentenced Tuesday morning, getting probation, a fine and a ban on running for office for the next five years.

He is a living embodiment of a frequent refrain directed toward MAGA loyalists in the Trump era: that every accusation is a confession. And his case will be essential for Americans to keep in mind as Donald Trump and his allies attempt to frame liberals as election cheaters.

Turning Point said Tuesday that Smith resigned more than a year ago. Still, here we have prime evidence that the face of election fraud is not a Black election worker, or an unauthorized immigrant voter, but instead a white man and former lawmaker tied to one of the most prominent right-wing operations in the nation.

I wonder if he has a photo I.D.?

Great song Peen! Leon wasn't the greatest vocalist around but when he sang a song you could feel it. And isn't that really what music is all about?

Once again you show your ignorance and hatred.

- Civil marriage has absolutely zero to do with any religion - even the one in your head that rushes to judgement and hate as a fake pseudo Christian.

- The pope has approved same sex marriage - https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023...ame-sex-couples-under-certain-conditions - so according to (by far) largest Christian denomination in the world whose leader is infallible ... you are wrong.

- Being gay is not a choice. Same sex behavior has been documented in over 1500 different animal species.

But - you carry on hating and being a fake Christian. No skin off my nose.

U.S. Attorney's Office drops effort to indict 6 Democratic lawmakers who posted video on illegal orders, sources say

Washington — The top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C. has decided to table efforts to try to indict six Democratic lawmakers for posting a video urging military members not to follow orders they believe are illegal, sources told CBS News on Tuesday.

The decision by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to end the case comes after a grand jury in Washington, D.C. earlier this month refused to return an indictment, CBS News previously reported.

It was not yet clear whether the Justice Department could still explore pursuing other venues for the case, one of the sources cautioned. It was unlikely, another source said.

A spokesman for Pirro declined to comment. The decision to table the case in Washington, D.C., was reported earlier by NBC News.

The grand jury's rejection of the charges is historically rare, but is becoming more commonplace in Washington and other federal districts as grand jurors are seemingly becoming more concerned about whether some of the cases are politicized and designed to exact retribution against President Trump's enemies.

Several politically-hired attorneys who work with Pirro were assigned to the case against the lawmakers, sources told CBS News, and they tried to indict the six under a criminal statute known as 18 U.S.C. § 2387.

That law threatens a 10-year maximum prison sentence for anybody who "advises, counsels, urges, or in any manner causes or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military."

After presenting the case to the grand jury, several sources told CBS that the grand jurors unanimously rejected the indictment, which is even more unusual.

All six Democrats later publicly condemned the move and applauded the grand jury.

After the rejection of the case became public, Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, wrote a letter to Pirro telling her that he was putting her and her office "on notice of the legal ramification" if they continue to pursue charges.

It seems as if the witch hunt is over. At least this one.

Rumor has it that Jeanine Pirro is currently considering bringing charges against the cast and crew of A Few Good Men. 😁

Bingo.

That is why I have taken some issue with QB being called the most important position in sports. I think a goalie in hockey is about the same.

If you have a wall in front of the net, you are going to win a lot of games.

Yesterday the USA had a wall in front of the net.

For anyone still in denial that trump isn't trying to control the media there's this.............

As of February 2026, Netflix is engaged in a high-stakes, roughly $82.7 billion all-cash bid to acquire the studio and streaming assets of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). The deal, aimed at acquiring major franchises like DC Comics and Harry Potter, faces intense regulatory scrutiny, a rival offer from Paramount Skydance, and opposition from political figures

Key Details of the Potential Acquisition:

The Bid: Netflix has proposed an all-cash offer of approximately $82.7 billion ($27.75 per share) to acquire WBD’s film/TV studios and the HBO Max streaming service.

Rivalry: Paramount Skydance has submitted a higher competing bid of roughly $108 billion (including debt) for the entire company.

Board Support: Despite the higher offer, the WBD board has shown preference for the Netflix deal, though they have given Paramount a window to increase its bid.

Regulatory & Political Hurdles: The US Justice Department has opened an antitrust investigation into the Netflix/WBD deal to examine if it creates a monopoly or hinders competition. The deal has faced vocal opposition from political figures and industry professionals, including filmmaker James Cameron.

Deal Structure: The deal is intended to close after the separation of WBD’s TV networks (like CNN and TNT) into a separate entity.

And now comes trump applying the pressure in his usual petty way...............

Trump demands Netflix fire Susan Rice as DOJ probes Warner deal

KEY POINTS

President Donald Trump demanded that Netflix fire board member Susan Rice or "pay the consequences."

Rice argued during a podcast last week that "it is not going to end well" for corporations, news organizations, and law firms that "bent the knee" to Trump, and that their deference is unpopular.

Trump's comments come as Netflix is pursuing a takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The Department of Justice is reviewing the proposed acquisition.

President Donald Trump late Saturday called on Netflix to fire board member Susan Rice or "pay the consequences," after she said Democrats would push for corporate accountability if they regain power in the November midterm elections.

In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump described Rice, who served as President Joe Biden's domestic policy chief and held top foreign policy posts under President Barack Obama, as "purely a political hack" with "no talent or skills."

That sounds like the perfect description of most of his own cabinet.

Murica! Freedumb of speech only counts for us!

BTW, have you printed any carbon fiber blends or nylon with your Bambu X1C?

While I didn't put a ton of time into it, this is what I was searching for the other day and kept running into the numbers of our specialists (kicker/punter/LS). So thank you for finding and posting that up.

Also, your post about penalties was illuminating. I did not realize we were on the one end of the ST penalty rankings. Thank you for posting that.


I can definitely see how those two things point to roster vs coaching regarding our ST woes. Now I'm wondering if that $400k difference in average pay was us not having that "ST ace" on the roster (ex. Cribbs, who was as good a gunner as he was a returner).

I don't know who cares. Maybe a lot of people who have daughters? People who don't want a sexual predator wearing a Browns uniform? You know, people like that.

I guess you don't consider watson's sexual assault law suits news anymore. I mean who did it hurt? Am I right?

Huh ?

The defense is going to take a step backwards , because the Browns have struggled to get their talented groups to perform consistently year to year is what you just said.


Well if that is what happened under Stephanski and Schwarts then glad they are gone.

Who in the heck wants coaches who make the team struggle ?

I love the shake up


I hope there is a new energy in the building

Will it pan out, No one knows

What did they think was going to happen after they elected Mamdani?
