That’s OK, Art, we really really expected you to sell much much earlier.

80-1 odds? I think there might be a zero or two missing. Either that, or the oddsmaker was one of the passengers in Matt Jones’ car.

Man, this one kills me:
“The Browns are seen by some prognosticators as the AFC North favorites”
HA!!! Here’s what kills me about this. They actually took up space to write an article on how two “PRE-SEASON” magazines picked them to win the AFC North. WHO CARES!!! Pittsburgh’s at the top of that last almost every year. The only thing that these magazines are good for is player tracking. They cant predict anything as was stated in that article. This city Cleveland is so freaking DESPERATE for something its not even funny. The sad part is —– Even if They do win the division, and Pittsburgh somehow overcomes the #1 toughest schedule in the league. They wouldn’t make it out of the first round to begin with. And even by some grace of god that they (Browns)somehow “squeek” past Pittsburgh, you wouldn’t make it past that. And yes, if Pittsburgh doesn’t win the division, they would still at least get a wild card. Please, Browns fans, for your guys sake, cant you write about something more appealing in Cleveland then NFL Pre-Season predictions. This is great stuff, its no wonder we make fun of you idiots!!!!!!

Is the Rooney’s selling now a warning about the impending CBA? If the players get more hand(which it appears is going to happen), the franchise values will fall. Maybe this is a sign from a founding owner.

The most stunning thing about that “misconceptions” article about Favre’s return is this:
“Favre is at least a decade older than all but six guys on the roster. He dressed in his own locker room. He had minimal social interaction with teammates.”
I’ve heard of perks, but how to you get your own lockerroom?

Hey jpell29,
Couple points; first off, I”m only responding to you, b/c its a very difficult/slow time of year (camp in 2 weeks!). Based on your convincing post, I think it goes without mentioning, that you are obviously a true scholar of the game. Not to mention, I think it’s fun to play into Florio’s plan of starting some fire.
Moving on… I am curious as to why you would you proudly point out that Pitt. is “at the top” of this list every year, BUT you also make claim that these magazines are good for nothing, and cant get anything right, now have the Browns being picked above the Steelers?
But my favorite is after you bash nationally syndicated publications, & their sports writers for “their” predictions, you (again, an obvious scholar of the game), who most likely lives in your parents basement- goes on to predict not only the outcome of the entire regular season, this years strength of schedule(which really means nothing), who God places his grace on, and (in your wisdom) are able to predict the wildcards, and the 1st round of the playoffs… Wow!
… and your talking about Cleveland “idiots” being made fun of, and “their predictions”? Man, I’m embarrassed for you… and any Steelers fans that are now associated with you.

A verse from Family guy and the new basis for the Dungy book “How to tell if you’ve got a gay nearby”
Person 1: “What is your favorite Madonna album”
Person 2: “I like her early stuff”
Narrator: “If he responds to that question with anything but I hate Madonna. You’ve got a gay.”

Maybe the TV industry will get a series called “As the Rooneys Turn”,
or maybe “The Life and Times of the Rooney Boys”, or “Why Can’t the Rooneys Get Along”.

Not really when you consider that his teenage son committed suicide, and maybe he wants to prevent others from doing the same.

well if he doesnt advise them to avoid the “gangsta-rap” lifestyle, as his son’s myspace page clearly showed he was into… wasted effort.
an on another note, those lions odds are too low.

I’m glad Chris Brown is positively influencing young people. Hopefully, he doesn’t teach them to run upright.

Couple of Commentaries on Those:
If Chargers QB Phil Rivers has a street named after him, it would have to be called “Under-Achiever Street”.
And even if releasing Pac-Man was not the best thing for the Titans, it was the best thing for Pac-Man. He needed a clear message delivered to him that there is a cost for being a major Turd in the NFL and rightly so…
