It's 1:03PM and michigan still................ Oh yeah, I forgot. OSU fans are angels

1) He makes things happen2) He throws well on the move*that was just two direct responses. He also has a lot of other qualities, some of them considered 'intageables', like "heart", is a very good study [game preparation] and strong understanding of his offenses and defense. That's not just me. I am paraphrasing things I've heard Bernie Kosar say about him

sgm, the browns haven't had a QB that performed well on a consistent basis since ....... seems like FOREVER!!!We haven't had a offensive line since before Bernie Kosar (though it game him some protection some of his years as a brown)Couch couldn't survive here, and he was a first pick-first round draftee.I still don't think the browns have a very good line this year, but it's better. Bently is still injured and Joe Thomas was a first round pick, but VERY few rookie offensive linemen dominate in the NFL, even 1st round picks.Even so, I think Frye has about 4 games to prove that he can do something with better protection (even if he doesn't get much better protection).... time is running out. I'm not making excuses for him, but he (just like those before him) never got a fair shake.Even if he performs much better, Brady wont sit forever. It's just not gonna happen.

I wouldn't say blinders. I would say, "rose colored glasses". Yes, I admit it.Because I watched Frye show such heart pulling of Montana like moments (such as the Marshall game), I really felt (feel) that he has the intangibles to be a very good NFL QB. I remember when people where scoffing that he would get drafted, or drafted the first day.I was wrong about a few things. I felt he could continue to elude blitzers and 'make plays' in the NFL like he did at Akron. For a while, I thought maybe it was because Romeo and Carthon were trying to force him to be a pocket passer, but after they let him go a bit, I realized that the NFL is just that much faster. Not just the speed of the rush, but also for defenders to catch up to "forced" passes.I still don't believe he should be warming a bench. I don't think he believes that either.But again, maybe its those rosey glasses.

I've been watching football for 25 years. I guess I still dont' f'ing "know football".Once again, another opinionated arse can't be satisfied with stating their opinion. Instead, anyone who has a different one is "a joke" and "doesn't know football". Seen both under center? Not yet. If you think a few series in pre-season means anything, YOU don't don't know football.

When I was at the game, they showed Frye on the screens, including pictures of him in a zips uniform and in browns uniform. Then some jackass about 10 rows behind me started yelling "Brad-eeee..... Brad-eeeee...."I normally have a tolerence for people's opinions, but I was actually starting out of my seat to go back there and physically disagree with him.Then I remembered three things that stopped me. 1) It is browns stadium, so I suppose shit like that is still relevant somehow :rolleyes:2) I always shake my head at morons who start fights at games 3) I pictured myself in the 3rd district clink downtown

I'd have to agree with that. Specially big ten teams. Having them on your schedule can really make you go soft and lazy and look forward to later games.

haha, the most the crowd was in the game was after that return. They were showing the replay of it on the big screens, and the whole crowd was yelling BOOM when the block got laid!

I didn't get out of cleveland til 11:30. The station had an intermittent signal quality (but better than I would have expected).

I'm not sure there will be a patriot bowl in 2008my thoughts1) defense was consistent. There were mistakes, but overall consistently the most solid aspect of our game.2) if it wasn't for those kick returns, I would have to say that special teams picked up where it left off from 2006.... piss poor. I guess I should qualify it. They guys who use their feet on this team are in 2006 mode.3) Offense. Too many screens and too much running around the line trying to turn the corner. Game planners must have feared the trenches. Spreading the field means putting the ball everywhere, not just horizontal to the sidelines4) I hope Army generals don't have gameplans that lame. 5) I think the marching band turned blue trying to hold that note for the flyover

COMMON SENSE 101Iraq War, Gay Politicians soliciting sex in airport stalls, and the anniversary of Princess Diana's death are all more interesting than an event at Stan Hywet, Blossom, Akron City Hall, or the Air Show, but they are LOCAL AND REGIONAL stories and you cover them anyway.... which the paper does, on occasion. You can turn on CNN or buy USA today for national/world news. You pick up the local paper for LOCAL MOTHERFREAKING INFORMATION as well as the regional/national/world stuff!!!So, cover the Browns, and even the Bucks, but don't pretend there isn't a University in town.

"On the next play, Hixon took a reverse from Hackney and zipped 43 yards to the Cardinals' 14."

ehem.....I don't think people are that robotic or zombie-solider-like, but overall, I agree. There are a lot of people who only jump on a bandwagon when things are going VERY well.... and there are also a lot of people who are content to ignor a team that everyone else is ignoring. In other words, lack of interest is a bandwagon phenomenon as well. If the ABJ consistently shows lack of excitement (via lack of coverage) for the zips, the populous will have nothing to cue their interest.The lack of coverage may not be intentional or conspiratorial, BUT it's pretty freakin retarded when the press and media can't figure out that they are an integral focusing tool in how a community views itself and what is happening. It's like when a member of the press says "we cover what people want to hear about" when they know damned well that people don't care to hear about something that rarely gets covered. "Interest" in a story has a snowball effect. If you cover it, people take interest. If people take interest, the media covers it.Unfortunately, the snowball has to start with the zips. The ABJ will not take the initiative. Winning the MAC east 2 years ago was not enough. The motor city bowl needed to be won. That's the sad reality. Media people are bandwagon jumpers. They will focus on the buckeyes because they are frontrunning fans just like everyone else.

interesting.... at first it looked to me like polo without the horses....but really, it seems like the main point is that you are allowed to use your hands to CATCH or CARRY the ball, but you cannot THROW with the hands, you must use the hurler (sp?). Everything else is pretty generic FIELD SPORT with goals.

No way, that wouldn't work. The beer would be gone before the pre game even started. well, of course, the beer slide would drain into the beer pool, and our beverage sponsor would be responsible for keeping the beer levels up.Me personally, I think I'd rather pay $5 for a cool clean brew.

beer pool

If you get good enough to dominate the other teams in the conference consistently, those teams will be the first see you to the door. It's not our fault the MAC gets no respect, but it IS our fault if we can't stand out above the them.

wow!Differing opinions are censored here.If that's true, I will leave myself (and I have no desire to defend OSU. It's the principle)

When I drive in N.Summit Co. I pick up 1350 better than I pick up 640.The FCC is screwy. If 1350 has to NULL zone the SouthWest, then there is probably a competing station on that frequency that direction (columbus, dayton?).What sux when that happens is you have to engineer your broadcast antenna setup to acocmplish this.

I saw the "Roo Town. This is your Team" board on the side of a SCAT bus in Hudson today

THat's what I was pissed about when I saw that in the paper this morning. WTF!

kekeke! Goshdarn free agency is teh ruination of schportz

that scene could be the apex of Murphy's career. Absolute classic.

``I spent the entirety of last year waiting for Bain to overtake Kroul, but that never happened. I think it will soon. Bain is an absolute terror whenever he's on the field....''

give teh lazy bums a monorail
