No, not me. But according to the site, 2% did. I'm thinking that means at least ONE person picked Cleveland? Thats a sick individual...

Ok, who picked Cleveland this week? It looks like one person did, maybe 2.

And Daerneys Tag has 2 RBs score a combined 108 points. Wtf man? Nice roster.

Maybe the Steelers will sign him. They're classless.

You know, that kick to the face sums up the Browns vs Steelers in a nutshell since '99.

I know I'm late to the party, but the Squealers Antonio Brown should have been ejected for that kick to the head. Or at least given a red card.

Now its coming out that part of the Browns offensive issues in the first half were due to the fact that some plays were being cut-off as they were being called in to Hoyer. There is a time limit for the QBs helmet speaker and it shuts off after a certain amount of time (sorry, I dont know what length of time that is). The problem is that the Browns play-calling has so many words TO it that they cant even get the whole play sent in because it takes too long. To this point, using the no-huddle in the second half they had no problem at all, and I felt this let Hoyer be the QB he was last year before he got hurt. It seems taking the play-calling out of Shanahans hands let the team be more successful. They need to simplify the offense. Change the terminology and less motion stuff.

If you lose by three or lose by thirty, a loss is a loss. You dont get extra points for trying hard, coming back and not winning. I still wanted to win. At the end of the day the Browns are still 0-1.

Ohio State is playing with a first time QB and 4 new starters on the offensive line. And it definitely showed last night. The rest of their schedule is pretty easy, other than Minnesota, but, as of right now, they are not one of the best teams in the country. Maybe they can right the ship and win out and get a chance to be in the top four, but it will be a struggle.

Today is going to be a big day. First off, congratulations and good luck to our Browns Backers Club President and Mrs. President, as their third child has decided to come into the world today. I can see him right now, the left hand holding his wifes hand and the right hand scanning his phone for updates (hopefully not swearing). Its the season-opener for the Browns and hope springs eternal. This team has alot of question marks and unknowns, young players and a first time head coach. I think, like myself, most fans are cautiously optimistic. Things just feel different for Cleveland now with all of the positive changes. This isnt the same old Cleveland. This is New Cleveland. On paper, the Browns dont have a chance today. The usually lose their first game and its on the road against their arch-rival. But, Pittsburgh is a team on the decline while Cleveland is aiming upwards. I dont know if we will win today, but I dont have a sense of dread like most other times. If I could tell the team one thing before the game, it would be this: "They are questioning and doubting you as men. Are you going to take that? Are you going to let them just beat you down once again and make you the laughingstock of the League? Arent you tired of it? Tired of the jokes? Tired of ESPN saying YOU ARE THE WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE? People laugh at you, man. The Steelers think they wont even break a sweat to beat you today. But, they have never beaten THIS team. YOU have the chance to change all of that. By going out there and playing hard and knocking the shit out of the man across from you! By giving 110% on every play! By saying, "We are here to kick your ass and we are going to do it!" You can do it, guys. You just have to want it. How bad do you want it? Today, it ends.

And when exactly was the LAST time your football team beat Ohio State? 2011. One time since 2004. Since you cant actually WIN against Ohio State, I understand that insults are all you have. But, maybe THIS is your year. I mean, you're due, right?

Ohio State will have LeBron James give the pre-game locker room speech before tonights game against Virginia Tech. Kickoff 8pm.

Josh Gordon still may have a chance to play this year. http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2014/09/josh_gordon_could_be_re-instat.html

My QB playing tonight, so, GO PACK!!!

In like Flynn. First timer here, so be gentle.

Take a nap and then set your alarm clock for 15 minutes before gametime.

I was given a "B" for the draft and then projected to finish in tenth place.

Today, it starts for the Buckeyes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyIP0WxCbgQ

I'll be honest, I'm not surprised. It was Gordons third offense. He would have been really lucky to get anything LESS than a full seasons suspension. I dont know why the guy cant just drink a beer? Oh, wait. He DOES drink beer. He got arrested in May for driving under the influence. So much talent and he just wants to party all the time.

Yeah, I thought he looked okay for his first professional game. Speculation is he will get the start against Washington on Monday night.

I'm in! I was 6-0 last year...and then Aaron Rodgers got hurt and I think I didnt win another game.
