Canton Mike

Ok, Corbett was a miss. I applaud Dorsey for getting SOMETHING for him & admitting he was a "miss" by trading him. Our previous GMs would hang onto mistakes forever rather than admit they were mistakes. I'll live with Dorsey's track record...NOBODY is right all the time. Mike

Interesting & if true, timing early in the Bye Week couldn't be better. We can only hope. Mike

This hasn't yet been mentioned & is just a thought, but could Baker have an undisclosed injury he is trying to play through? Say, maybe a shoulder? He has taken a load of hard hits so far this season & pre-season. An injury could explain loss of accuracy & reluctance to throw deep. Mike

With no refund I hope. Mike

Did they catch the guy? I hope so, because ONE idiot like that reflects negatively on our entire fan base! Mike

I understand the need to gel & I have patience in that regard, but this fuckin' "body block" tackling (oops, ATTEMPT to tackle) is BULLSHIT!! I am so sick of seeing opponents bounce off our half-assed attempts at tackling. Send these guys to a local high school where they may still teach REAL TACKLING! Wrap 'em up & put 'em on the ground. Mike

Italian Sloppy Joes Ingredients 1 pound bulk Italian sausage 1 pound bulk spicy Italian sausage 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup chopped green pepper 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon fennel seed 8 to 10 French or submarine rolls, split 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (I prefer Miceli's Pizza Blend shredded cheese) Directions In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, cook sausage, garlic, green pepper and onion over medium heat until the sausage is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato sauce and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Spoon about 1/2 cup onto each roll; sprinkle with cheese Excellent Sloppy Joe for those who like 'em a little spicy. Mike

I did, I don't tolerate cream based dishes well, but thank you. Mike

SAUSAGE & TORTELLINI SOUP 1.5 pds. mild or hot italian sausage (I ALWAYS use 1/2 mild & 1/2 hot)3-4 cups beef broth (have extra broth on hand)1 (28oz) can crushed or pureed tomatoes1 onion chopped1 large carrot chopped1 square package frozen chopped spinach (do not thaw-add FROZEN later in the cooking)1/2 teaspoon garlic powdersalt and pepper to taste1 package frozen CHEESE tortelliniRemove sausage from casing and brown, break it up. Drain sausage and transfer to pot. add remaining ingredients to pot, EXCEPT TORTELLINI & SPINACH!!!! slow boil or simmer for at least 45min-1hr, until vegetables are tender. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will get (if too thick, thin it with additional beef broth). Add frozen spinach 30 minutes or so into cooking & 5-10 min before serving, place tortellini in pot. This is also a good crockpot recipe. You'll probably want to at least double this recipe. It's our favorite soup. Serve with garlic bread & a salad. BTW, if you haven't tried it before, I highly recommend Girard's Olde Venice Italian Dressing. It's very different from Wishbone, etc. It's worth trying if you haven't yet. Mike

$50.00 to park, the lot at W 3rd & St Clair is near Bar Louie, Barley House, Starbucks (my wife & daughter love it), & a very reasonable walk to the stadium. SdBacker80 is correct. We have some idiotic fans. On the small side scoreboards on the sidelines is a # to text anonymously if other fans get too abusive. Security responds quickly. Enjoy the game, hope it's a good one, & GO BROWNS!! Mike

Bill, The fact they all have tough games is what drives me to start my Browns' guy, but if Higgins is inactive, that may sway me to one of the others. I guess I'll know tomorrow am. Mike

I am still considering starting Baker in my FL tomorrow. 2 reasons: 1) Higgins....If he plays, HUGE difference in all WR production. If he doesn't, I may play Goff or Stafford. 2) Baker....I still believe in the kid & refuse to give up on him although Higgins presence on field will impact my decision. Mike

We DIDN'T draft him. We signed Jamie Gillan aka HAMMER as a UDFA. Just anotheer great signing by Dorsey & staff. Mike

From Amos Jones to Mike Priefer......Talk about going from "Worst to First". Mike

My HAIR, my HAIR! What happened to my long, beautiful hair?? (boo-hoo) Mike
