See ya Chip Kelly. Hope the NFL was fun

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 26, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) Because he's a .6 WAR compared to 2.2 Valencia. I'd take Valencia over him. That said, I'm not dipping into the farm for either. Yea, but Valencia has almost exclusively hit against lefties since his rookie year because he has been so bad against righties. He is only a platoon, you are still looking for a 3b And that is not me endorsing Lawrie, that guy is never healthy

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) Pay Avila 2.5 mil to be starting catcher.............pay Flowers 4 mil in arbitration to backup................I do not see it! Well hey, feel free to b**** and complain over nothing

Outside of Urlacher, and maybe Carrier and Tommy Harris, there aren't much else to show for (David Terrell. yuck...). Ooops, forgot that Rexy did lead us to a SB, that counts for something, amIrite? This list looks like a Super Bowl contender next to the Browns. The Bears made the playoffs multiple times during this time period and had a lot of pro bowls in there, the Browns have two picks in the last 3 years that aren't even in the league right bow(Richardson and Weeden) and Manziel is hot on their heels

the way Alshon talked this week, he sure seems like he is playing QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) You would think that its almost hard to mess up every pick even if you were trying to mess them up. Someone would have to pan out just by the odds. They have had one or two, but look at this clown show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cleve...und_draft_picks 1999 1 Tim Couch * QB Kentucky 2000 1 Courtney Brown * DE Penn State 2001 3 Gerard Warren DT Florida 2002 16 William Green RB Boston College [23] 2003 21 Jeff Faine C Notre Dame 2004 6 Kellen Winslow II TE Miami (Florida) [24] 2005 3 Braylon Edwards WR Michigan 2006 13 Kamerion Wimbley LB Florida State [25] 2007 3 Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin [26] 2007 22 Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame [27] 2008 — No Pick — — [27] 2009 21 Alex Mack C California [28] 2010 7 Joe Haden CB Florida 2011 21 Phil Taylor DT Baylor 2012 3 Trent Richardson RB Alabama 2012 22 Brandon Weeden QB Oklahoma State 2013 6 Barkevious Mingo OLB Louisiana State 2014 8 Justin Gilbert CB Oklahoma State 2014 22 Johnny Manziel QB Texas A&M 2015 12 Danny Shelton DT Washington 2015 19 Cameron Erving C Florida State LOOK AT THAT LIST!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) He's going to get cut right? Moving him to 3rd string...why not just drop him entirely? Seems like at this point they are done with him. Or are they presuming they can get a pick back from someone else in the off-season? Just for s***s and giggles I looked up the Browns first round drafts going back to Tim Couch. It is astounding how bad they have been, how many completely wasted picks, and Manziel looks like another

Apparently Pettine told Manziel he was on a zero tolerance policy over the bye week. He is just a dumbass

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 12:00 PM) i am having a hard time comprehending some info i am reading, when is he a fa???? He signed a one year deal

QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 11:48 AM) Well the problem is he wasnt hitting well in Comerica either. Just that it wasnt nearly as blackholeish as everywhere else. Let's keep this in mind to...do you really think Robin is going to put either of them in position to fully maximize their value? That's the main problem I have with a platoon. His problem has been injury, for quite some time. I think if you could squeeze a miraculous (somewhat) healthy season out of him, you would get good results

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 11:46 AM) The ring leader of all negative nannymuggins ladies and gentlemen. I hate this post

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 11:25 AM) Pronounced like that he should be good at Kung Fu and martial arts. i was thinking Hockey and Kung Fu

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 11:43 AM) You have to expect to see some negative nannymuggins after a year like last year. Message boards are overly emotional. SHUT YOUR MOUTH NOW

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 11:18 AM) There was nothing crafty about signing David Ross. yea, that cost them a good young catcher in Wellington Castillo

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) Can't wait for Hawk every game to talk about how beat up Avila gets behind the plate. Only 86 times you have to hear it

Rahm saying he never saw the footage while authorizing a 5M payout is an interesting position to put yourself in

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) Eat. Sleep. Beane. Repeat. "Roll that beautiful Beane footage" was heard on the broadcast last night, lol

Lets also keep in mind that Kobe has had multiple catastrophic leg injuries in the past few years, and MJ did not.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 06:12 PM) Yeah that guy has to be locked up for a long, long time. 10 seconds of shooting. No real lunge towards the cops. I mean maybe he thought the guy was going to throw the knife at him? McDonald starts to turn around like a discus thrower, but you can't tell when those first shots hit him so maybe it was the shots that made him spin around. I also wonder if the cops were violating their own procedures. They should have been behind the doors of their cars I would think, not so exposed. I think they said the first shot spun him around. There definitely wasn't a lunge, the kid was on another planet he had no idea what was going on. He was walking away from them but wasn't running or anything. They could have tasered or taken him down and arrested him, that was just cold blooded

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) This Manziel story is the worst story of the year. The video is not bad in the least bit. Who cares? I've seen just about every Chicago athlete out and in way worse shape than Manziel is in that video. I need to start taking videos to sell to tmz. Its bad considering how long he was in rehab, and the incident last month with his girlfriend. The guy clearly has issues with alcohol.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 10:31 AM) Couple thoughts here: 1) Why did it take over a year to charge this guy if the video is so damning? 2) Why is Rahm coming out and giving his opinion on it before the trial starts? We complain all the time about narratives being formed in these cases. And then it becomes incredibly difficult if not impossible to change them after the facts come out (e.g., Michael Brown with his hands up), so why is a public figure aiding that process? 3) I'm curious of the judge in the criminal case will quash the video from being released for fear of not being able to get an unprejudiced jury. Very long shot, but I wonder if the defendant makes that argument. 4) No matter how egregious this killing was, it pales in comparison to the 9 year old getting executed and the sperm donor father refusing to cooperate with the police. Where were the riots then? I'm sure the responses from the black community in Chicago, Pfleger, etc. will be the same. The family got paid with the quickness by the city to hush it, and they(the family) didnt want the video released. Outside influence got the video released, and now they have to act on it. Which is absolutely terrible

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 24, 2015 -> 12:04 PM) I read that he's practicing but still very unlikely to play this year I dont think he plays. Me and Shipps give each other a hard time because he is a jerk and I dont care
