This could perhaps mean Newsome may miss some time with that calf injury

Is there going to be a extra playoff spot for each conference this season again?   Or was that a pne time thing?

 I'm betting he was a definite to miss this week and is a Maybe/Probably Miss for next week, but likely to be back the week after.

 ... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

That is AWESOME!         Sometimes I have wondered about egos possibly messing that up.   It appears not.
 And Chubb's comment "They're on my ass.  It's up to you today" shows ............well, knowledge, respect, and so much more.

 The Chiefs signed Josh Gordon,The Buccaneers signed Richard Sherman,  the old safety from the seahawks.
 
 Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Not a good read a great one.
 At the end of the day we are all just human and we all have ups and downs.
 
 I know when I said I had cancer I couldn't believe the outpouring I received from the people here on this stupid board it's humbling. So I truly understand.
 
 All the people who I grew up with family, the phone calls the expressions of love it humbles you and I will always say this the measure of a life well lived is to have loved and to be loved. It truly is the secret to a life well lived.
 
 I understand what it meant to him and what ultimately it means for the organization and how truly special it all is and has become, damned proud of my Browns and yes the people that support them cause they got it just right on this one.....
 
 Welcome home Takk......

 "When I first walked back into the D-line room, the whole D-line started clapping for me. That was a cool moment because it shows it’s a brotherhood," McKinley said. "I was gone for a while dealing with stuff, and as soon as I walked in everybody started clapping. They were excited to have me back, so that made me feel real good."
 McKinley held back tears as he watched his teammates rally around him, lifting him up and letting him know they had his back no matter what.
I was vocal and said at the time that I doubt he ever plays a snap for us. I thought he had flaked out or something and checked out. I need to learn to hold my tongue and have patience.  If the team knows and is Ok, then I need to just accept that they know more than me and I have no opinion until I have more facts. Reading this, and reading the reactions the other guys had in the middle of camp, and his emotional reaction to them....  this team IS a brotherhood.  They have the camaraderie that binds guys for the rest of their lives.

It is easy to be cynical about things. The world can be a cold callous place.

This team is building what most championship teams all claim they had. The time has come for the Browns to become a crown jewel in the NFL. Haslam tried and failed many times, but he got it right this time. I got a feeling a lot of the players on this team will want to stay when their contracts are up. This is the beginning of a great legacy

He has always been a very emotional player. I recall the night he was drafted, he took a picture of his recently passed grandmother (who raised him) up to the podium and was very emotional.  I hope he overcomes his challenges. He has had a rough life.   Tak McKinley 
 Welcome back, Joe, we missed you!…. That did not age well.

During the darkest of our years, my unending mantra was "change the culture. Until Berea is healthy, expect bad ball."
 I also said that change would be painful.
 1-31.
 
 
 Look what we have now.
 
 
 As a long-suffering fan who has lived in an abusive relationship with this particular messed-up partner, I couldn't be happier.
 
 Stories like this are evidence
 Chubb & Hunt on the sidelines is evidence
 Baker & the team is evidence
 Coach Ski and the FO is evidence:
 
 This thing is real.

 I say the pieces are in place for a dynasty, not only have they drawn in each other I got a feeling this story drew in a whole bunch of us too.

More importantly you can see it in how they go about their business.
 It's about each other being the best they can be and helping each other to that end and building a team and organization where everyone knows success.
 
 It has been as many of you may know my belief that this team is about to go on a run that when the smoke clears will be one of the great dynasties of NFL football.
 
 The Browns are a new type of team, one other organizations will try to copy....
 
 Yeah like Clem said pinch yourself because it is that good.
 
 You can call me crazy if you like but I will support this team thru thick and thin, because I know they have greatness at their finger tips.
 
 Enjoy the ride this is going to be fun................
