Didn’t this exact thing happen already when they sold the franchise to Baltimore?

5402

not in the slightest
theres a reason why people dislike art modell around here
the team wasnt the best but it was it least decent

a long read but…

that was more of a decision based on personal mismanagement, not personnel

5403

Browns hiring someone from a baseball team. Great. Since that barrier’s now been broken watch Jerry Jones try to trade for Alex Rodriguez.

5404

lol Cleveland.

5405

Can you imagine Madison Bumgarner as a QB? 6’5, 235 lbs, pitches southpaw despite writing and hitting righty. Incredible power and accuracy and great hand eye coordination from his hitting stats. Incredible endurance. Like man… if that guy decided as a kid he was a football player not a baseball one…

5406

White kids down south have already starting migrating towards Baseball once thier fathers realized it paid more than Football…and they didn’t have to compete with black kids.

5407

He’d take one sack and fold like a bitch IMHO. That’s why parents these days want their kids playing baseball instead of football because it’s safe.

5408

Sean Payton is back with the Saints.

Meanwhile in Detroit…

5409

The Lions end yet another HoF career far too soon…

5410

He wont retire. He’s probably just considering if he wants to stay in Detroit which has been his home for so long or if he wants to go somewhere else and take a massive paycheck for a few years before retirement. He’ll probably move because most Vets want one thing more than anything which is a superbowl win and Detroit don’t look like a team that can challenge for championships.

5411

Except he can’t move as long as he’s on contract, and if Detroit didn’t trade him this year they aren’t EVER going to trade him unless a team gives up the farm.

So it’s a matter of doing the Carson Palmer of threatening retirement if they don’t move him, and possibly following through when they won’t.

5412

Did anyone see the statement that the Rams owner made for why his team should be moved to LA? He basically threw St. Louis under the bus. He should better hope that the Rams win the bid or they’ll be dealing with a very angry fanbase.

5413

He can always look at moving to San Diego if the Los Angeles thing doesn’t happen :looney:

5414

Seeing as how the Chargers are trying to move to LA to prevent the inevitable loss of revenue of the LA area I highly doubt they would sit back and let that happen.

5415

Why did lovie smith get fired
Young team trending in the right direction
almost made the playoffs
Stupid decision

5416

They lost like 5 of 6 and probably believe an offensive coach would be more beneficial to Winston. With Breesus fading out and Matt Ryan becoming Jay Cutler this season, Winston could quickly be the 2nd best QB in the division.

Although maybe the Bucs could give the Falcons back Dirk Koetter because the Shanahan experiment was a catastrophic failure for everyone but Julio and Devonta.

5417

as the only Bucs fan I can say this…Typical Bucs. I thought this was a longer term thing with Lovie and Winston… Fucking Stupid, Unless this is a ploy to get coughlin. That’s the ONLY coach right now even remotely better than Lovie. Now one POSITIVE is the forcing of the Tampa 2 which Lovie did and I disliked. Still this seems like a stupid move. We end up with something like Chip Kelly and I’m gonna start making my own EDP video series for the Bucs no fucking joke.

5418

I think Tampa might just go with Koetter themselves and let Frazier be the DC like he should of been. IDK I didn’t see this coming. I thought Tampa had finally fucking did some good shit with Winston. Losing the last 4 was mainly the defense which was Lovie’s and I think that was his demise. They figure Koetter can help Wiston and a capable DC can help fix that mess with all the Defensive talent.

Though this has that Raheem Morris feel. Like he was coveted and Tampa didn’t want to watch him succeed somewhere else.

5419

Quoting for future reference.

5420

Megatron should go to Carolina. Imagine that shit
