Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

I think its a byproduct of (2) things......Owners who think they're way too knowledgeable about the sport and force bad decisions, and GM's who don't have the job security to know they can rebuild.

Andrew Berry is constantly in a "win now" mindset bc he knows he's in the hot-seat with Kevin Stefanski. At least one of them is getting fired at end of year (or sooner) so the impetus is on trying to win games, with truly one of the worst rosters in the NFL.

The focus should be on trading Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward, Jerry Jeudy, David Njoku, etc. for whatever draft assets they could acquire. Punt on the next (2) seasons while the young talent gets their feet wet in NFL.

For the love of god, draft some high character guys (Caleb Downs for example) and inch by inch try and change the culture in the lockerroom.

The problem to do this, is acknowledging the last 4 years have been a miserable failure. And the egos and human nature to save your skin outweighs the obvious decision that needs to be made....which is to burn this roster to the ground and do a full rebuild.

It's actually quite simple, but they're incapable of it.

High School Cleveland Glenville Tarblooders

this is their last season in D4 - they are merging with another school and that will prop them up to either d2 or maybe d1 from what i heard

They’re merging with Collinwood. It’s like if The Greasers and The Socs made one big gang. Being rivals in everything from sports to street gangs, then to going to the same school will be an interesting thing to see.

Non-Playoff Bowl Games Discussion Thread

I’ve seen the comments that this type of “donation for admittance” reflects poorly upon the bowl games and their significance. Personally, I feel this is amazing. Schools are getting paid regardless, and families in need will be fed over the cold season holidays. My family and I would definitely be there if I lived in the area.

They could have also asked for 2 coke products to get into a game. But that’s been done before.

J.J. McCarthy (once a tCun, always a tCun)



You'd think, after de-facto benchings and performing like one of the worst QBs in the NFL, that this jackass would have developed some humility.

Jake Diebler (Head Coach)

Agree with most of the above - He's proven to get the 'jimmies and the joes', now he has to accomplish the 'Xs and the Os'. But remember, he's got a plethora of assistant coaches on the bench with him, and mayhaps some of this falls on them for non-performance, or mediocre performance. I know, everything falls on Diebs, as it should, but results should dictate more and better financial support. PS, anyone know how the attendance is, so far this year, for men's and woman's basketball?

ttun basketball (Juwan out, Dusty May in)

Agreed. Protect the cash flow, invest to keep that flowing, and look around to see where to invest the excess to gain the largest returns. That's corporate economics 101. Can certainly apply to college sports, but without that certitude of the returns. Hope that the NIL that went to mens basketball last year, was kept after the Duke and Kentucky xfers left after mediocre years. Guess Diebs has to whip the Buckeyes home in the Dance to achieve a 'raise' in NIL funding. Results begats more $, or somesuch.
