Oh, and about the show being in Spanish. I get that. I speak very little Spanish myself. But at the same time I think you have to consider that not every place that is a part of The United States speaks English as their primary language. And while I'm certainly not trying to single you out, a lot of people claimed by him performing in Spanish somehow made it "less than or not American."

But the U.S. extends far beyond our 50 states. The U.S. controls territories that do not speak English. Puerto Rico is just one example. Here are other such examples.....

In other inhabited U.S. territories—Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands—the primary native languages are not Spanish, but rather Chamorro, Samoan, or Carolinian.

It seems rather odd that a guy that young would take "a five-year hiatus from coaching football". That or maybe that's just the best spin they could put on it?

I'm not sure who you think doesn't live on land in this nation that wasn't once tribal land. This isn't the gotchya moment you think it is.

You may wish to look at the deficit under trump as well. He's printing bucks too.

And I get the same thing from the right GM. The difference is I don't make claims to be "the moral majority" or "The christian right" or "The party of family values" and tell people "I don't see how a Christian can vote Republican". In reality I don't quite get it but I understand it.

It's time you admit what I have admitted. There are whackamoles on both sides and you can't judge them all based on that. I know and am friends with Republicans as well as Democrats. But even the republicans I know can't get behind trump. They don't wear red hats and read the Trump Bible. There are certainly extremists on both sides but they are not all alike.

People our age are going to think most of them suck. I know I do. I don't really listen to most of the artists they put on in these halftime shows.

But when has anyone been so #triggered and such a big bunch of #snowflakes they have thrown a tantrum like this before? Even trump had a meltdown over it. It's just ridiculous.

Exactly and that's the way it should be. I don't like the DW situation any more than the next fan but if we keep him and he gives us the best chance to win then play him.

Todd Monken is going to play the quarterback who looks best in practice.

He would have to get a directive from Haslam specifically telling him that DW will not play.

If DW looks better than the other quarterbacks on the roster. He will play.

It makes no difference what we the fans want to happen.

Competition for being the starter will decide who plays.

How so ?

I bet there are tribes all over the US that could lay claim to the exact same thing ... if a tribe laid claim to the White House, or Mar a Largo, or another home or building of a renowned Republican ... you and Trump would laugh like hell. Then Trump would probablyu post some extremely offensive racist memes in the middle of the night .... and then there would be crickets.

LMAO... of course it was Biden's fault right? Or the Feds fault right .... Never ever ever ever Trump and his taxes (ermmmmmmm tariffs) and tax cuts and .... no no Never Trump.

The show sucked. Last years sucked.

Who knows? Good luck.

One thing I'd like to see is the addition of an assistant ST coach. I don't think the Browns have had any for a while. The job is big enough that the coordinator needs at least one asst.

I can tell you I'm not one of them, and why in the hell would I waste my time listening to songs in a language In which I have NO CLUE what is being said. That makes about as much sense as sticking my wiener in a meat grinder. I just ain't going to enjoy it. I will say My biggest problem was not the show, it was all of the ignorant people who act like they are better on the left. YES THE LEFT.... I have been called racist, stupid, blah, blah, blah, just because I don't agree with them. Sorry but for me personally I get attacked by the far left ten times more than I get attacked from the far right. For what??? Not agreeing with them 100 percent.

Haslam and Berry hit a home run with that trade.

Great job, fellas!

please show me a video of last years audience

The economy is softer than Jello.

The economy has finally run out of Biden Bucks coupled with keeping interest rates too high for too long.

Companies are laying people off and calling it because of "Ai" - it's not. It's because the consumer demand no longer exists and credit cards are maxed.

Next up - lenders are going to start tightening the credit they were extending to everyone.

Realistically, the only thing that is saving the economy from a total meltdown is that companies blaming "Ai" for the layoffs.

Awkward... lol

Cleveland Browns Hire Special Teams Coordinator After Bubba Ventrone’s Departure

Cleveland Browns Hire Special Teams Coordinator After Bubba Ventrone’s Departure
Here's everything you need to know about the first-time special teams coordinator just hired by new Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken.

The Cleveland Browns are aiming to have their full coaching staff assembled by next week, and they made major progress towards that on Tuesday evening.

According to several reports, the Browns have hired their new special teams coordinator. The Browns didn’t retain Bubba Ventrone, who was quickly hired as the new special teams coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams.

The Browns are hiring Green Bay Packers assistant special teams coordinator Byron Storer.

Who is Byron Storer?
Storer played fullback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2007-2009. Immediately following his playing career, he transitioned to a special teams assistant with the Buccaneers from 2010-2011.

After a few seasons with the San Diego Chargers, Storer took a five-year hiatus from coaching football until he landed with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2018. The 41-year-old has been a key assistant for Rich Bisaccia with the Raiders and Packers and now gets to run his own unit for new head coach Todd Monken.

Special teams has always been a part of Storer’s story, as he was a second-team All-Pac-10 special teamer from 2004-2006 at the University of California Berkeley.

The Browns will need to be much better on special teams than they have been over the last few seasons. Under Ventrone’s watch last year, the Browns had the No. 29 ranked special teams unit.

As the Browns watched their season spiral, Ventrone called out the lack of talent on his special teams unit as the reason for so many repeated errors.

"We haven't played near our capabilities," Ventrone said in December. "We've had too many, too many issues with just, just dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb football, dumb mistakes.”

When a roster is young and inexperienced, special teams tend to struggle as teams might not have many talented depth players to play on that unit. That was the case for the Browns at the end of last season, as undrafted free agent receiver Gage Larvadain struggled with return responsibilities. Unfortunately, the Browns had to keep playing him as they didn’t have many other options.

When the team introduced Monken, Browns general manager Andrew Berry stated that they would work to become one of the youngest rosters in the NFL next season. This would signal that special teams might not be a major priority.

But with Storer’s experience working under an established special teams coordinator like Bisaccia, the Browns will hope that their unit will vastly improve.

Spencer Rattler should be available too.

it’s not even the NFL really… they outsourced the Super Bowl half time to Jay Z and have basically given him total control to have whoever he wants doing the show…

Honestly I never heard of bad bunny before he was picked for the SB halftime… didn’t care for some of his political messages or cross dressing… but thought his show was fine… I appreciated some of the visuals and story telling…. I wish more of it was in English but honestly at times it felt like he was mumbling, so not sure i would have understood in English… Liked the fact that an actual wedding took place, liked the shot with the little kid… and can appreciate the shout out to the various American nations when the NFL is going more global…

I’ve basically gotten to the point where I know I most likely not have a clue who the halftime performer is or at least most of their songs

But overall I thought it was fine…. We’ve had much worse halftime shows

I love the Olympics… prefer summer over Winter… but still enjoy watching the competition and cheering for the US…. Really love that NBC has used the drones more - that’s my favorite angel for the skiing and luge…

I would have expected the NFL to have had closed captions in English to reach out to the non-spanish speaking population.

That was a big oversight.

Love this song.
