You need to stop that.

Just stop.

Ha! The Browns can't even themselves.

Then again, if the Broncos played the Browns like they did the Dolphins, you could be right.

Man, Roger Goodell would totally wreck any team's salary cap if they tried to sign him. $40M a year!

I hope that game goes down in history as the "Snowvertime" game.

Also go Chiefs.

Kansas City players, or people who are just passing through the area, come join us at the Geekery just off Shawnee Mission Parkway for BattleTech!  Current days are Tuesdays in the afternoon and evening.  I can't make every single week, but odds are pretty good that somebody will be there.

Random headline that says a lot about the Brown Notes...

"Browns' Josh Gordon Scores 1st Touchdown in Nearly 4 Years"
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Jadefalke Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr!

That Raiders-Cowboys game sure got very interesting toward the end. I still hate the touchback rule but I think the Raiders were due for a bad bounce after having most of the breaks go their way.

...I still hate the touchback rule...
Forgive me for focusing on this point and I'm not directing this at you.  I just find it strange that there is somewhat recent confusion or frustration on a fundamental rule of football.  A runner can't simply toss or fumble the ball across the goal and expect to get it back at the one-yard line.  Think of it, a runner at the 15-yard bowls the ball forward to get it at the one-yard line.  That's not reflective of either rushing or passing.  I suspect Mike Florio, of ProFootballTalk, has made the frustration popular.  I'm not biased either, I recall yelling at my TV as RGIII bumbled this play on two occasions and being frustrated by the result.  That said, why do you hate the rule?

Damn near unwatchable. Getting pretty tired of penalties on two of every three plays, wildly inconsistent calls, and games decided by the men in stripes.

Hard to believe it after a life of being a Broncos fan, but... man, the NFL sucks this year.

Allow me to burn your strawman for you, and remind you that you can't advance a fumble.  There's a name for this, an entire play built around it (it's called a "Fumblerooski"), and it's been illegal in the NFL for over 25 years.  Fumbles that go out of bounds are returned to the place where the fumble occurred.

The only place that this changes is in the endzone, where the defense is magically assumed to have recovered.  It's bullshit.  Nowhere else in all of football is the defense assumed to have made a play on the ball when the ball becomes dead.  It also has the really, really unfortunate side effect of turning something exciting (diving for the pylon) into not only something not exciting (failing to get the TD through no effort of the defense), but something actively unfun to watch (the defense being rewarded for happenstance) that has ruined no fewer than three games this year.
