I'm sorry. I have no idea what this means.

Yeah polls have shown very little support among Republicans have fallen off for Trump involving immigration. We simply do not believe the lies the media are telling and want the criminal element that came here illegally removed.

I will honestly only watch because there likely won't be anything else on during those time slots. I have no interest in any of these teams.

I expect the Pats to win, for sure, and I'd prefer to never see any L.A. or NY team win anything, ever, so I'm defaulting to preferring the Seahawks win.

No, but Don Lemon is one of (if not the last) person I'd look to as a positive example of pro journalism.


These guerilla journalists don't make any sort of effort to mask their agenda/bias. To me, it seems silly to decry reporters/journos from MSM outlets for their failed attempts to hide extreme bias and cherry-picking only to turn to people who do largely the same thing but do so loud and proud.

I have no problem with the process and even the candidates.

Berry is a smart guy. However, Haslam will add his two cents which is worth way more since he owns the team.

I think Haslam and Berry want a guy who can develop a quarterback. JS they want as DC.

The question is will JS be ok with that? Or, will they accept a OC that JS wants?

But... they added a ton of key role players; WR's Steffon Diggs and Hollins, DT Milt Williams, Carlton Davis, robert Spillane, OT Morton Moses. And Josh Dobbs who's like a second QB coach. They also got two OL starter in the draft who look very solid as well as Treyvon Henderson. That is quite the one year haul. I'm not saying we couldn't do it. We may actually have more talent than they did before that haul, but they nailed the off season. Most importantly, they had the QB in place, who picked the perfect moment to bloom.

They also had the benefit of playing dang-near nobody this year. Their regular season schedule perfectly lined up (especially down the stretch) playing teams while they were dinged up/slumping. I think they are the biggest example of fool's gold and I predict a Houston-esque turd when they play a quality team. They were only able to put up 16 vs the Chargers (a good D) but luckily they were able to tee off on Herbert whose line is in shambles, and were gifted the next game ala Stroud. IMO, their only marquee wins would be sweeping Buffalo (who was beat up on D for the second game, but still a tough one).

I also expect a significant regression next year.

Well in between not knowing the difference between Greenland and Iceland... He certainly said "I won't use force"

Odd that the people who said we shouldn't take what he says seriously when he said we wouldn't rule out using force, now want to say we should take what he says seriously.

You know I don't and didn't think the USA would use force. That's not the point... The point is the damage to the relationship the USA has with the rest of our allies. The loss of trust. Oh and the way in which Trump sounds like a crazy man... And the people who will try to justify his lunatic egotistical actions....

We can do what (I believe) the Patriots did. They hired a placeholder (Jerod Mayo), and then dumped him when someone they were targeting became available. This offensive roster is going to be a mess for at least another year.

Maybe... but as someone who didn't want anything to do with MM as a head coach, IMO it's a savvy move on his part. He's an innovative offensive coordinator on a team with weapons that just needs (and has acknowledged) that they need to upgrade the offensive line talent (oh yeah, and they have a good complementary defense). He'll be able to flex his coordinator muscles and build back his argument to be a HC in short order.

As for the analogy. It's statistics. Pure and simple. You can try to deflect but it's simply truth.

To be fair, all the candidates interviewed by the Browns have had or are planning to have interviews with other teams. How the other teams view these candidates are anybody's guess. The younger guys, they are viewed as very intelligent coaches. The obvious question is can they lead a team. I am not worried about if they can build a staff. I am sure they have connections throughout the NFL and/or they do have veteran coaches that can vouch coaching with them.

You can look at it in a positive light, they are doing their due diligence on casting a wide net of coaches from various teams and backgrounds. They know Schwartz very well as being with the organization for a few years. I expect/assume they know what exactly JS wants and have gotten their feedback (positive or negative) about his feelings regarding interviewing other candidates.

Get fired after 2
Get another job

He always changes his mind. He'll say one thing one day and the exact opposite the next day. To claim otherwise means you haven't been paying attention. I'll try to give you a recent example that hopefully you haven't already forgotten about............

Jan. 2nd

Trump says U.S. will intervene if Iran kills peaceful protesters as economic unrest spreads

"We are locked and loaded and ready to go," the president said on Truth Social early Friday, after economic protests in the Islamic Republic took a sharply violent turn.

https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/...ls-protesters-economic-unrest-rcna251875

Then after Iran kills at least over 2000 protestors, a week ago it changed to this...........

Trump warns U.S. "will take very strong action" if Iran hangs protesters

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-warns-us-action-if-iran-hangs-protesters/

No rational human being trusts a word he says anymore.

Stop blaming me for posting what has actually been going on and start holding the people who are doing those things accountable for a change.

I know you have it within you to make a positive change.

You're right. Jesse Watters thinks there are only 700 people living in Greenland, and that the United States owns the moon. 👍

Ahh, so now that he said "no military action" we shift to "he might change his mind". Again, demonizing for imaginary fantasies and predictions of the future that never come to pass. Act #34,351

It seems in your frustration you actually agree with me.

The question remains... not that you probably want to engage in actual conversation when you can hurl insults... why would any team be forced to hire a second minority when they've already accomplished the goal of the rule itself by hiring the minority??

You'll have to ask the NFL why they establish their rules. I'm not a billionaire with a team of lawyers.

The rules in any sport, be it the NFL, NBA or any other for that member, are the same for every team that belongs in that league. It is no more fair or unfair for the Browns than it is all of the other 31 NFL teams.

Yes, they are only complaining about the rule now because it's about the Browns just like I said. Thanks for agreeing with me. thumbsup

Yes, timing is everything. Maybe you live in a cave, but this is the first time we're hiring a HC since the rule change.

And, oh yeah, this is a Browns message board as well. That would explain why people may be relating it to the Browns' situation; crazy, I know. Maybe go scour some other teams' message boards so you can see if we're the only "whiners"?

There is a difference between laughing with him and laughing at him.

Do you mean crisis averted unless he changes his mind again tomorrow which he has been known to do so many times?

That's how it works with a habitual liar.
