    Ehhh considering the Federal government was the lifeline to an otherwise massively corrupt local government, I'm not sure that's true. Nonetheless, we digress off topic - and you, *GASP*, an admin!
  2. I think 1B1B will go for 1500

    Lol just a washed up college player turned NARP. Mack Wilson is cerebral too, kid has it all
  4. Yeah - I'm not sure what I can and cannot say here... but the plans right now would be transformative and would aim to integrate a number of Cleveland's anchoring cultural institutions
  5. ^It was Marvin wasn't the problem. Dude choked when it mattered, I get that

    How has no one brought up Bala Cynwyd (Bala Kin-Wood) outside of Philly
  7. I'm not sure the reminiscence is what people are laughing at right now, though - is my point
  8. You cannot tell me this roster would be 0-9 and getting absolutely SMOKED with Marvin Lewis

    Alright y'all... Offense Goal Line Stands - Here's the thing, the play-calling on the goal line stands was actually terrific. The execution by players was lacking. We lined up in a BOHICA formation and tried an iso, we isolated Odell twice and targeted him, if Chubb catches the shovel pass cleanly, he walks into the endzone, the power toss was designed to give the guard space to pull and kick out, but we missed our blocks playside which blew the whole damn thing up. Freddie called literally everything we would've wanted him to call. Now, having said that, we still need to execute, particularly the o-line... but for the first time all year, I thought Freddie was on top of the play-calling with goal to go. Running game - Boy oh boy Chubb & Hunt are going to be tough to stop... both are capable blockers, pass catchers, hard runners, and difficult to bring down - I think Freddie used him as well as one could expect for a first game back. Passing Game - Baker's pre-snap recognition was vastly improved this game. In particular, on the touchdown to Landry, the Bill showed Cloud 6 to the Field (I thinkkkkk, might not be remembering correctly - it was zone nonetheless), but they came off the ball manned up, and Baker knew it and put that ball on Jarvis's person, not in the gap (which would have been the read against zone). Still not perfect, and I think he expected man when he took the safety but got zone, which gave him pause. Defense I actually don't think this was one of Wilks' best performances. I think he had some very unique opportunities to get 2 vs 2 on the outside with Myles Garrett alone with Knox, which would've been like pistol whipping a blind guy - instead, he often sent field zone dog blitzes, off of Olivier's butt, which led to pressure and ultimately some sacks, but I think Myles gets 3-4 sacks that game if we send more stunts and blitzes off of his butt. TJ Carrie continues to be an excellent tackler and Denzel flew under the radar with a great game... the only receptions he really gave up were nearly unguardable. Joe Schobert might get exposed by Vance McDonald this week, he's really struggled guarding TEs in space MACK WILSON IS SPECIAL. Get attached, Cleveland, because this young man is the future. He has a nose for the ball, he plays angry, he plays smart, and he's a rookie... yikes. Coaching Per my above comments, I actually think the play calls on the goal line were exactly what we'd want them to be. If you would've shown me that play call script, and told me we wouldn't score off those options, I would've laughed at you. The timeout before time expired at the 3rd was awful, though. People keep defending it saying it didn't give them time to come up with a play... and: A) This is the NFL, you don't "come up with" plays, I promise you McDermott had a segment of his script devoted to the down and distance scenario, 4-5 plays in 2-3 different formations. B) If you were concerned about them coming up with a play - which is absurd - then it shows an utter lack of confidence in your defensive coordinator and scheme. C) In any cost-benefit analysis, you cannot tell me that burning a timeout there is worth losing one on a two-minute drive at the end of the game. Ultimately, we won against a good football team, so it's a positive. I'd like to see some more hurry-up mixed into games, when Freddie is calling off a script with tempo, he's a much more creative coach

    Lol I have a presentation to prepare for along with some additional projects. Currently slammed, I'll try to get one in tomorrow, because I actually saw shimmers of hope in this goalline stands - believe it or not

    Teams that have fun competing are dangerous - this team loves to compete. I honestly think a 7 or 8 seed isn't out of the question considering how bad the East is
  12. I thought it was going to be bad, as two airbnb's in my neighborhood were filled with Bears fans. I think, in reality, it turned out to be a lot more people just coming to Cleveland to go out and get hammered.
  13. There's a group of 54 of us (you heard that right lol) going to the game in Arizona... I booked airfare, ticket, a tailgate w/ food and booze, and hotel for a grand total of $480 for the weekend.
  14. Honestly, the hype was a little overblown. The Bills traveled well but I've seen MUCHHHHHHH worse in FES in the last five years. I'd say 10-15% of the stadium was Bills - I suspect there will be more Steelers here on Thursday

    Hi All - I'm thinking about having an online chess tournament for UO members. We could do it bi-monthly or so. Thoughts?
  16. And same for Terminal Tower for quite an extended period of time as well.
  17. @KJP You didn't have to do the comms director so dirty, Ken! ? "THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY"

    Not a good person. Always been an opportunist.
  19. Lol I just googled "SMILING GRIN" ... But its from the show Freaks and Geeks (I think)
  20. Y'all will have a good day tomorrow - promise. And our very own @KJP will be breaking it before the rest of those butt muscles in our local media... #KennyScoops
  21. The name LG Science Park is a little lacking though, and reminds me of this...
  22. unfortunately some great locations in Battery Park traditionally haven’t done well
  23. It would be really cool if more regional airports like Cleveland, Milwaukee, St. L, Pitt, Cincy, KC, Austin, New Orleans, Hartford, Omaha, Sacramento, Long Beach, etc etc etc could set up their own network with a few airlines. Like if Airlines had to buy into the network to get on the routes.
  24. Let's get inside first and not judge the place off the flyer alone
