The Browns have to be the most dysfunctional team in all of American sports. They once again they pretty much have two first round picks. I can't wait to see how they mess this up.

It was a weird year for QB in the NFL.

Last night is another example. The left tackle is out for the game, so you have to have the left guard play left tackle even though he has never played the position before. It was a fine effort, but he was getting beat bad. A back up left tackle free agent should been signed last off season. Seems like it should be important to have a good back up tackle to play once in a while. Kind of important to protect Rodgers.

Packers have plenty of money to spend. The Rodgers and Matthews deals are actually pretty team friendly right now. Also the salary cap is going up next year.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 09:25 AM) Personnel issues. Bad OL. Lack of skill players. Thompson's drafts haven't been as good and they never supplement the roster with free agents even though they have $$. I like the draft and develop mentality of Ted Thompson. I think teams that try and win by signing free agents are usually the bad teams, but signing 2 or 3 low priced players isn't the end of the world. TT has had good success with that, but he seems to shy away from it for some reason. This is one thing that needs to change this off season, although I doubt it will. Ladarius Green is perfect type of player they should go after. Young and probably won't cost that much. Fills a big hole for them.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 09:11 AM) WTF happened? They were cruising the first 6 games then it's like the Broncos beat them up and they never recovered. It's really a mixture of everything. Bad play calling from the coach, Rodgers isn't playing well or up to his level at least, bad wide outs, no pass catching TE, and all 5 offensive lineman are hurt to some degree. It's probably just a one year problem for them, but it's not getting fixed until the off season.

Washington is going to beat Green Bay by double digits. Packers are really awful right now. I think Carolina is going to win it all.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 01:52 PM) For the Colts to win the AFC South, ALL of the following need to happen: Colts beat Titans Jaguars beat Texans Ravens beat Bengals Broncos beat Chargers Bills beat Jets Falcons beat Saints Raiders beat Chiefs Dolphins beat Patriots Steelers beat Browns Watch all this happen. Colts win with Josh Freeman at qb. Andrew Luck returns for playoffs. Colts win Super Bowl.

I bet he gets another head coaching job in the NFL. If the NFL is done with him, he will probably have to take next year off and wait for a college job to open.

@RapSheet #Bills coach Rex Ryan said WR Marcus Easley dislocated his knee cap and broke his knee in three places. Man, that sounds horrible. Sounds like it would hurt really really bad.

Didn't they use that line from Return of the Jedi?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 08:33 AM) He's past his prime and his O-line is in pretty bad shape. Plus Arizona and Carolina look like perennial NFC powers and Minnesota is up and coming. He's not past his prime. He is 31. O-line is in bad shape because they has 4 or their 5 starters out yesterday. What team would look good with 4 starters out? Rodgers has been pretty shaky at times this year. Add a Banged up o-line, awful wideouts and no tight end to the mix. His is still having a good year. How many qb's would take his season this year and it's probably his worst.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 27, 2015 -> 04:09 PM) Luke does make the most sense, but when she had her vision IMO the ship that was departing with her parents looked very similar to the ship Han was flying when he captured the Millenium Falcon. Plus the "father you never had" comments by Kylo and her taking over the falcon with Chewie Either way it is exciting I just read a theory that goes on about how she is Obi-Wan Kenobi's granddaughter. Not really sure where they are going with it, but I would be shocked if she is just some random person.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 08:23 AM) Ever. Why do you think that?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 08:20 AM) I think Rodgers has played in his last NFC Championship game. You mean like forever or this year?

Nice! Side note, the secret service guys looked totally thrilled to be climbing up a mountain and trying to keep track of the president.

@espn "2015 is going to be my last season playing in the NFL." Charles Woodson has announced his impending retirement.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) So I regrettably canceled my DirecTV service today. The last few months we haven't really watched much cable. Mostly Netflix and some premium network shows. I watch sports, and that's going to suck not being able to watch those anymore, but it's not worth the $175/month I was spending on it. I'll have to rely on WGN, ch. 26 and some internet feeds for my sports now. Anyone subscribe to SlingTV? I think we're going to try that. $25 bucks/month for some basic cable (espn, tnt, history, etc.) and disney channels seems like a good deal. We'll probably also grab a Hulu subscription, as well as HBO/Showtime for a month here or there to catch up on some shows. I've been thinking about doing the same. The only thing holding me back is sports. I know it will never happen, but it would be awesome if you could just buy a package based on the teams you follow.

@art_stapleton I'm told Norman was swinging a baseball bat on the sideline during pre-game warmups + got the attention of players on the field. @RapSheet Apparently Marcus Ball, a #Panthers practice squad player, was holding a bat pregame. He had to be separated from Odell Beckham pregame.

Disney said they want to put out one movie a year. I'm really looking forward to Rogue One. I think Gareth Edwards is going to kill it.

I loved that Kylo Ren was not some unstoppable pure dark villain. He is like Anakin and Luke, but from the other side. Instead of turning to the dark side, they worry about him going to the light. Which I wouldn't be surprised if that happens.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) Rams haven't won 8 games for close to 10 seasons. Wow, you are right. That is really awful. I guess I'm thinking more of Jeff Fisher who has finished .500 or one game off 9 times. 10 if they win two more games this year.

Forever 8-8.

Really liked this trade until I heard his walk up music is Frank Sinatra. Does Hahn even know what he's doing!

I like the deal and that we didn't have to give up a top prospect. Not sure how good this team will be next year, but I'm at least excited about the possibility of not being garbage. Now if they were to also add a above average OF I would be really excited.
