Lol yeah, I mean they actually have some talent that I think could compete

They are winning 60% of their games. The Browns can only hope to ever do that again.

They're an up and coming team? tongue

Sorry, no real interest in listening to Sir Charles. Did he actually have a point? I might listen later.

He said they were both talented, and they were both "soft". I can't speak about the the 76ers, not being a hoops fan, but he's not wrong about the Browns, IMO.

It sounds like a manufactured comment.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I don't know what that means either but Barkley's analogy was great.

A lot of talent, a lot of off season expectations, a lot of talking, and a lot of mental softness.

I still maintain Ben Simmons may be the most overrated star of the last 20 years. Run down the court and handoff the ball. Make it look kind of fancy. LOL. Guy can't hit a 10 ft jumper.

Maybe this is a test to see if Baker can keep from attacking back

I like Sir Charles because he calls it as he sees it regardless if it's the unpopular opinion, not politically correct, or offcolor.

He just spouts it out. I love him.

I spent several hours with Charles as my seatmate on a flight from Atlanta to Phoenix. Great guy, and lots of fun to talk with and be around.

I do as well. I appreciate people who speak honestly and don't try to sugarcoat.

I like Charles.

Yes, no way would Charles fit into a coach seat, he barely fits comfortably in first class. His legs still didn’t look comfortable. I always feel bad for tall men on planes.

I fly so much, if I had to fly coach, I would have quit long ago. Lol.

Charles speaks from the heart, his blatant candor reminds me of my own words.

Sometimes the truth hurts. We need to reconvine on a multitude of level

And adding Shaq to the conversation is usually comedy gold. The whole Jussie Smollet roast by Charles and Shaq had me in tears at the time.

j/c:

I totally get the point Charles made.

He was referring to all the talk about how much talent that both teams were receiving before their respective seasons and how both have fallen far short of the lofty expectations.

Some might dismiss Charles because of the way he talks, but I think he is actually a very intelligent guy.

Sir Chas is actually the Cleveland Browns of the Yahoo Media Sports personality. More exposure than deserved, little talent, lousy delivery. Talks the talk; and it is cheap shot. Self-declared scholar. Has made a career of being wrong AND outspoken.

Drop him for somebody who can offer worthy analysis. thumbsdown tongue

Let me guess............You never listened to what he said?

Black dude who is outspoken. Has to a jerk. Don't even bother listening to what he has to say. Throw in a Hue joke and all is good.

Classy.

When i followed the NBA I was a 76er fan ...

Hal Greer ,,,, Billy C ... Wilt ... Dr, J ... Moses and 4 4 4 ... world b free ... *L* ...

Charles was my favorite ....

6’5” tall and he led the league in rebounding multiple years ... the story of what made that possible is an awesome one ...

Always loved Charles off the court also .... he was like he is now as a player ... don’t always agree with him but he always made me think .... and he pulls no punches ...

Never thought I’d say this but i don’t like Jules anymore ;... *L* ...

It wasn't a joke.

You jumping to a wrong conclusion shouldn't surprise me, but somehow it still frequently does.

I like how you get me to look at different angles of things, but often you drive me crazy with the extracurriculars.
