NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

I won't Cutler you until they change it to Wentz, as it should be. I want you to know how hard this stance is.

And btw, it's not a faggot city, it's a drug and murder city. Know your division.

Btw, you're old enough to remember the Colts move right? Srs question.

I always wondered how the Baltimore fans rationalized Modell moving the Browns when they spat so much venom for Indy doing the same thing in 84. Is it a well fuck it, it happened to us so its karma kind of a thing? Obviously some of this was undone when they got the Browns back (unless you're a Browns fan who watched your team move and then win a SB).

Didn't they win the Super Bowl quite literally the first season after they moved? If I was a Browns fan who denounced them for leaving I probably would have gone on an unrecoverable drinking/drug fueled bender.

At least they kept their name and records, although like you said that wasn't apparent immediately. There was some cognitive dissonance for sure but at the time everyone wanted a team back and no one cared how it happened. In contrast the Indy Colts get to hold all of Baltimore's records as their own.

We should have been given an expansion team over Jacksonville, especially in hindsight and as I recall the city was told we really weren't a market to support it, lol k...Jacksonville covering up upper level seats.

And no didn't win the superbowl right after the move, it took four years.

Hm for some reason I thought they moved after the 99 season. Oops.

Yeah, I was. it was snowing and I was home glued to the tv.

There's books written on this, believe it or not. It's complicated. There's still a scar from losing a historic team, though younger generations don't feel it. There's the expansion fiasco (Jacksonville lol). Personally, when the Browns came, it was hard to embrace, because I knew how the fans felt and their team was also historic. This wasn't some perrenial suckass (at the time) moving.

I have some good Indiana born friends and I STILL give them shit over Irsay. I expect a Browns fan, if I can find one, to do the same thing until they die.

Paul Tagliabue suggested we build a museum instead of a stadium. He can rot in mythical hell.

Yea, kinda figured it.

Jacksonville was a bizarre place to put an NFL team, I still dont get it.....up on the northern border and not a sports town. Living here in Orlando now, it would have made a lot more sense and already at least had the Magic and there are a ton of sports fans here who kind of vicariously live through Tampa in everything else.

Ya honestly I'm not sure why Jax ever got a team over Austin, San Antonio, or Oklahoma City. I'd imagine Jerry Jones and his buttfuckton of $$$ have everything to do with that.

You answered your own question.

Tagliabue was pursuing a "sunbelt strategy" based on a false assumption that since most of the big college towns like football, they would like pro football. Jax was given a team because of a false narrative that Gator/UGA fans would go to Jacksonville for more than the annual cocktail party.

Baltimore had a better bid, more money, a new stadium waiting to be built....basically it was butt rape (Modell actually was easier), and was told to build a museum.

NFL.com - Predict the Pick - 2017 NFL Draft

My feeble attempt at a mock draft.

Seeing anything heavily attached to cable tv getting destroyed makes me disturbingly happy

All I want is for the Browns not to fuck this up and give the Niners Garrett. Other than that, boring day for me.

ESPN layoffs reportedly to begin this week, could be larger than expected

This should have happened long ago. Not very good and a hidden cost on your cable bill. I think the NFL will be trimming some soon as well.

Burnem, looks pretty good but I don't see Carolina going for Howard that early. I agree with the mockers who have McCaffrey at that spot. I also think Brantley, Peppers, and Conley are dead in the water. I expect to see a massive drop for all three over their issues.

I read someone's opinion about it, and the fact that they went highly political recently and their bullshit costs added to cable really make it hard to feel bad for them. I know the network isn't necessarily the same as the people losing their jobs, but whatever.

Don't know what you read but their ratings have been the same. It isn't the political angles. Pure cord cutting and them paying outrage fees for NFL, MLB, NBA, etc.

As for the draft please please Cleveland fuck this up and take the QB. Please dont let Myles go to that shitfest.
