It's finally time to make those bold predictions for our Browns this season. Back them up with logic or just get crazy with it. It's all in good fun.

I'm going for a 10-6 wild card season. All games are at 1pm and we don't go to the west coast so there will be a routine there. We will split with Cincy and Spitssburgh but sweep Ratbirds. And that 4 week plunge with Saints, bye, Pats and Jets---we go 2-1(those last 2 are at home). The final Sunday night game will be Browns over stools for the final wild card spot. And the fans will be for this team ALL YEAR. No soap operas, no controversies just good football. Yeah I'm a fan.

As far as the rest of the NFL---going with the Colts and Packers for the Super Bowl. If I were truly bold the Browns would be there but baby steps for me. I'm willing to wait a year or so for the big one.

The 2 busts will be the Jets and Vikings. And my bold prediction is once the Vikings are out of the race Favre will have one excellent game and then mysteriously sustain an injury and sit down. Bye Brett

So there it is. Looking forward to the Board and you calm cool collected members all season.

Am I the only one who watches this show? We just got Season 6 on DVD and finished the series last night. I loved the finale, and I thought it served as a nice end to the series. I thought they kind of rushed the final two seasons compared to the first 4. Things started rapidly moving in a certain direction (most likely due to the conscious decision to end the show when they did) and I felt that they could've stretched out the content of the final 2 seasons into maybe 4 seasons if they did it right. As it stands though, Lost was a triumph in my opinion. Some people didn't have the patients to let the story unfold and others couldn't handle the constant mysticism of the show and the constant questions that the show brought forth but I think that it answered all of the big questions and ended strong.

If anyone's been on the bubble with this show. I highly, highly recommend getting the DVD sets. The show works better in the DVD format than it ever could have hoped to on cable TV. I don't know how some people followed the show on cable week after week, the wait between episodes would have driven me mad. The DVD format gives you a much more casual pace but also allows you to watch the show at your pace. We burned through the final two seasons (also shorter seasons) in probably about a week and a half.

How many of you have seen the show, how many finished? Without getting into too much detail (as to not ruin the show for those who may be curious) what did you like about the show. If we have to put a spoiler warning up, fine, I just want to discuss! ]]> General Discussion Enigmatic Evil http://www.barkinghard.com/forums/general-discussion/14737-l-o-s-t.html http://www.barkinghard.com/forums/cleveland-sports-feeds/14736-shaun-rogers-back-provide-more-depth-trenches.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:11:06 GMT BEREA: With the Browns' regular-season opener looming, defensive lineman Shaun Rogers rumbled back onto the practice field Monday.

I've focused on the merits of taking the preseason for what it is...glorified practice sessions.

I've emphasized waiting for the real deal: Sept. 12.

Here we go Brownies, here we go: WOOF WOOF!!!!!

Now we get to see the reality. Now we get to see what our team really has.

Rogers is back in practice. We have waves of linebackers ready to pummel the opponent. McDonald is gone, and Hillis is ready to handle the load as our durable, 20-plus carries a game running back. Jake is ready to shut up the kiddies at KNR.

Just a few more days to wait. And to top that off, we could still pick up some players who will bolster the roster.

We have a better Browns team than this time last year. There is no doubt about that. As far has how that converts to wins and losses, we are about to find out.

And that, my fellow Browns fans, has been well worth the agonizing 6-week wait.

The time has come.

Clayton just turned 28, and while hasn't been a star, he does have over 3,000 yards in five seasons and has often looked on the cusp. He'd bring a nice infusion of speed, something we lack.

Notre Dame Sucks!

Now on to the only top 25 list Notre Dame made this year (or last year, or the year before, etc, etc)



1. Notre Dame has won one bowl game in their last 9 attempts.

2. Notre Dame's fan base consists predominantly of fans who couldn't get into Notre Dame and have no idea where South Bend is on a map.

3. Notre Dame has a losing bowl record. And they've only been to 27 bowl games.

4. Notre Dame's Heisman winners are the product of popularity contests, not the product of the best performance by football players.

5. Similarly, Notre Dame's "national championships" are the result of popularity, and not the result of being the best team. You can be popular without being good. For example, consider the popularity of McDonald's and soccer.

6. Notre Dame's record in the past 50 years isn't in the top 10.

7. Notre Dame fans cite their record of excellence, despite most of their success occurring when the Charleston was popular.

8. The fight song is just terrible. Fortunately, we only have to hear it before the game.

9. Notre Dame has had major NCAA violations and went on probation for two years.

10. Notre Dame has had several incidents of racism.

11. Notre Dame represents itself as THE Catholic institution of higher learning, which is arrogant and untrue. There are many fine Catholic universities, such as Boston College and Georgetown.

12. Notre Dame represents itself as THE Catholic football factory. Perhaps someone should inform the Domers that recently, Boston College has the better record. And Boston College has faced a tougher schedule.

13. Firing Ty Willingham after 3 years, yet letting Faust stay on for 5 years. If you say this is a case of Notre Dame learning from their mistakes, then realize that Willingham had a better first year than Weis.

14. Hiring George O'Leary.

15. Joe Theismann.

16. Changing the pronounciation of one's surname from THEEZ-man to rhyme with Heisman. What a sellout!

17. Afraid to join a conference like the Big Ten. Could it be because Notre Dame has a losing record against the Big Ten since 1994?

18. Holier than thou attitude.

19. Fourth and short Jesus.

20. Exclusive TV contract with NBC, yet ever-forgetful of what Christ said: "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24).

21. Notre Dame is always overrated by pollsters in pre-season polls, as evidenced by this study.

22. Notre Dame is always overrated in final polls, as evidenced by their bowl record. And they've only been to 27 bowl games.

23. The favoritism shown towards Notre Dame by media idiots like Beano Cook and Tom Lemming.

24. The Notre Dame hype machine.

25. That this is the only top 25 list Notre Dame deserves to be on. ]]> The Campus Jax Dawg http://www.barkinghard.com/forums/campus/14687-why-notre-dame-sucks-good-natured-poke-nd.html http://www.barkinghard.com/forums/nfl-rumble/14685-revis-jets-have-deal-4-yrs-46-million.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 08:43:31 GMT Revis will fly to NJ on Monday to sign deal according to the NY/NJ Jets...

After a seven-month stalemate often marked by acrimony, the New York Jets and holdout cornerback Darrelle Revis agreed in principle Sunday night on a new contract, the team announced early Monday morning.
Revis, whose holdout lasted 35 days, is expected to fly to New Jersey Monday to sign the contract. Barring any holdups, the All-Pro will be on the field in time to have a full week of preparation for the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens, a week from Monday.
"I'm coming home baby!!! Revis Island. Let's Go," Revis tweeted shortly after midnight.

Revis will sign a four-year contract, GM Mike Tannenbaum announced. He declined to discuss the amount, but a source said it's a $46 million deal, including $32 million in various guarantees.
Under his old contract, Revis was due to make $21 million over the next three years, all of which was guaranteed until he didn't show up for training camp, voiding the guarantee. After a long holdout that resulted in $578,305 in fines, Revis secured $11 million in additional guarantees while committing an extra year to the team.
Tannenbaum wouldn't say if Revis will be responsible for paying the fines. He called it an internal issue, adding Revis and Ryan would discuss how to handle it.
"This is an intermediate step to what we hope will be an entire career of Darrelle as a Jet, for him to retire as a Jet and for him to hopefully go to the Hall of fame as a Jet," Tannenbaum said in an early-morning conference call with reporters.
Tannenbaum admitted that he explored possible trades for a cornerback over the weekend. While he did that, coach Rex Ryan and owner Woody Johnson took a spur-of-the-moment trip to South Florida on Saturday afternoon to meet with Revis, his mother and his uncle, former NFL defensive lineman Sean Gilbert. Gilbert once sat out an entire season in a contract dispute with the Washington Redskins.
The meeting was first reported by the New York Daily News.
Ryan met most of Sunday with Gilbert and Revis. By the time the meeting ended, both sides felt that progress had been made and their differences could be bridged.
At that point, negotiations heated up between the Jets and Revis' New-York based agents.
"Those guys going down there was a huge step," Tannenbaum said.
Revis has a home in South Florida, which he went to last week after spending more than a week with family in his hometown, Aliquippa, Pa. Ryan and Revis have a good relationship, and the Jets were counting on Ryan's persuasiveness to change Revis' stance.
"I really wasn't optimistic, I really wasn't," Tannenbaum said. "It was a hard set of dynamics. I'm optimistic by nature, but gosh, this was really hard. There was a lot of heavy lifting. This honestly and truly was really, really hard."
Despite the upbeat meeting in Florida, the two sides didn't have "a significant breakthrough" until around 10 p.m., according to Tannenbaum. That's when they agreed to the length of the contract and the total amount.
With Revis still in Florida, Tannenbaum negotiated by phone with the cornerbacks' agents, with Johnson available on speaker phone. Asked to describe Ryan's reaction when the deal was finalized, Tannenbaum said, "I think I had to medicate the head coach."
Revis made $15 million in his first three seasons. He wanted to become the highest-paid cornerback in the league, seeking about $16 million per season. According to family members, he was angry at the organization because he believed it reneged on a promise to make him the highest-paid corner.
Initially, the Jets offered Revis a 10-year, $120 million contract and a four-year, $40 million deal, but there was only a small amount of guaranteed money in each proposal. Revis' agents countered by asking for $162 million over 10 years, with more than $40 million guaranteed.
On Friday, several players told ESPNNewYork.com they were resigned to starting the season without Revis. One player said it was "a tragedy" that the stalemate got this far. ]]> NFL Rumble Jax Dawg http://www.barkinghard.com/forums/nfl-rumble/14685-revis-jets-have-deal-4-yrs-46-million.html http://www.barkinghard.com/forums/cleveland-sports-feeds/14684-p-m-ohio-state-football-links-different-buckeye-miami-players-now-but-classic.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:47:39 GMT Miami is still trying to get back to being the powerhouse it was before its loss to the Buckeyes in the classic 2002 season national title game.
