This is heartbreaking. I remember how I, who was a rookie trying to learn about the Browns, would read his posts and think there was a great mind with some wit behind those words. Then once I decided to start writing I remember fondly how he replied and welcomed me. As a Spaniard, I kind of needed an approval to join a forum with such tradition on a sport and a team I wasn't born around, and his words made me feel I could hang around here and feel between unseen, long lasting friends, in a weird manner. Now the time to say goodbye comes, and I just hope we will soon cheer and have a drink for a Superbow victory, and for the ones who have left without seeing it, but paved the way of this fandom. Qué tengas un buen viaje, Bruce. David

Agreed. They can base their punishments on what they see fit, even if a player is found innocent, but they can't punish someone who commited an aggression in plain daylight in front of the cameras. Aaron Donald is becoming a bigger douchebag as years go by. You simply don't swing a helmet, it's not that hard to understand.

I'll have a hard time joining in today, but I look forward to some more live game analysis. It is good to practise my English and put voices to nicknames too

I don't like it. Whatever Brissett does leading the team, Garoppolo doesn't look like he will do so much better to make it worth eating that contract. I think either Jacobby does well and we have a shot the playoffs, either it is a lost year.

People will always forgive winners. But we don't know if we have a team of winners yet. Just like H said, only time will tell. Good news is that the turmoil will be just an echo till week 10 or 11. We know the suspension, let's play some football.

For sure nobody is perfect, yeah. But the amount of times he trespassed the line of what is right and what is wrong is enough to say that he should be punished. One person I thought about when I read your post was Vick. What is the difference? He did an awful thing, but spent his time in jail and got suspended, apologized sincerely and never committed such crimes again. As of Watson? 1. He won't spend time in jail (it is not a crime or there is not enough evidence, but that doesn't mean he did any good) 2. He made a late half ass apology that no one buys. 3. Time hasn't passed so we can't confirm he has been "reinstated" and isn't coming back to his "old ways". I want to talk about football and I'm glad the punishment has finally been settled, but this is a fuckup not only by Watson, but also by the NFL (with the two judges shenanigans), Houston and the Browns, and we will hear from it for some time, and deservedly so.

I might watch some of these. Any interesting tidbit?

I haven't even checked the schedule tbf. But I say 4.

It tells you something about how much I've been reading you americans and your addiction to acronyms that I got it at first glance

Hey guys! Lately my friends and I have been looking to purchase tickets to 1 of the games that is going to be played in Europe. The ideal game was Seattle-Tampa in Munich (German fans are a sight to see, watching Brady play...) But 600,000 people asked for tickets, and we have just lost the queue to get any of the UK tickets (300,000 people in the queue) My question is, is this normal for EU games? do they resell the tickets, is there a trustworthy market, and are there any problems to get tickets later, since we lost "the first chance"? Probably there are hundreds of thousands of bots getting the tickets, but I thought it wasn't that difficult to get tickets. You guys tell me (maybe EU games are a completely different story UK guys have more experience and can help more, idk). I was pumped to see my first game live but now I'm a bit down. Thanks in advance!

I'm more about history podcasts and videos. Just finished listening a 7h podcast about McArthur's Japan post WWII.

It is offseason for me, I brely check any NFL news. Having a calm summer, full of heatwaves...

Nobody cares about off field issues when you produce on the field. Watson hasn't played yet for the Browns AND hasn't played the last season, so it makes sense. The moment we win, people will forget. Also, 24,000 voters from Twitter. I'm not even there but Twitter has just become toxic. I haven't seen anything good coming from there in a while.

I said that as soon he retired. When he was playing, he was the smartest player on the field.

I second that.

This forum or this thread? Because I read half of it and I'm wondering if it's worth it reading the rest.

Damn it. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope plan B works out! Anyway, being a Browns' fan I expect you to be used to plan A failing, I guess now you can try opening beer cans with your mind, that's a good cheap superpower I would like to have.

Well, the reasoning is that white gives space sensation and monochromatism helps combining with any given color, but yeah, sometimes it is too much.

I've seen way uglier rich person houses. The only thing that I dislike is that every space is over the top: if I had their ammount of money, I wouldn't go for pure black and white design, I would combine smaller cozy spaces with timber, maybe brick, and warmer colors with huge spaces for parties etc. I wouldn't like living in a mansion that every space feels always empty if you don't have +50 people in each one.

I sometimes wish I could think the way some other people do. Denial and delusion sometimes are better places than the world I live in...

I love the guy and the player, but if he has suffered so many injuries in the first years of his career... Either he learns to keep his hamstrings and groins available all weeks or I'm thinking is a bit too much money. I don't know how are we paying all the players in future seasons...

I differ with the Vikings. People from Denmark, Sweden and Norway were Vikings and were considered a different etchnicity towards the rest of Europe. I get the Redskins change, not the Indians one. But it's baseball, I don't care too much either.

Yeah. I just remembered that you guys celebrate April's Fools' Day. Have a nice Friday everyone PS: If you fell for it, reply so more people join the party.

Sorry for your loss, darren. Glad you're fighting and joined the board once again, I hope you get better and get to enjoy some more time with us!

So @hoorta @Zombo, who is stepping up as mod? I want to know who I have to fake my friendliness Thanks for your work and thanks to whoever donated!
