I’m going to do it privately.” It will be interesting to see if Deion ‘privately’ steps in to stop his son going to either the Titans or Browns. https://www.themirror.com/sport/american-football/nfl-draft-sanders-hunter-titans-892050 https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/big12/2025/01/10/deion-sanders-shedeur-sanders-nfl-draft-intervene/77598691007/ Deion Sanders says there are a couple NFL teams he won't allow son Shedeur to play for Gee, I wonder who one of those teams are.

We wish Jimmy would copy the Populous design and rebuild around our exisiting stadium as done there - at least short-term until Burke opens up. The stadium is the first purpose-built for NFL games outside the U.S., featuring a retractable natural turf pitch that slides under the South Stand in just 25 minutes, revealing an artificial playing surface. This allows American football to take place during the Premier League football season without affecting the quality of the natural turf pitch. The stadium now hosts two regular season NFL games each year as part of an ongoing partnership between the league and Tottenham Hotspur. The system also offers ideal sightlines for American football by lowering the playing surface relative to the first row of seats, allowing fans to view the action over players and coaching staff on the sidelines. Add to that purpose-designed NFL locker rooms and other bespoke player, staff and media facilities, and the stadium has become a true home away from home for visiting NFL teams. https://populous.com/showcases/tottenham-hotspur-football-club btw when will Jimmy release the designs for the existing site? In their absence we are left to assume they must be amazing (just as the Vocon renderings done for Destination Cleveland are amazing). If they weren't he woud have released long ago to further support his fuzzy rationale to move to BP.
January 11Jan 11 Sure glad we can pony up the money for a publicly owned stadium so that we can have NFL football in Cleveland, only for them to jump at every opportunity to play games internationally.

"Doing some more digging, it sounds like Aaron’s fandom with the Browns started earlier than Newsome’s days with the Browns. Here is a video clip for ESPN’s Believeland, which features Aaron talking about how he used to be incognito in the Dawg Pound:" The video has him speaking of Otto Graham and Marion Motley.

February 3Feb 3 Myles Garrett requesting trade.

February 3Feb 3 No going back with that statement. Maybe Browns will get a first and second? Edited February 3Feb 3 by TBideon
February 3Feb 3 What an embarrassment. Thank God the new stadium will have Superbowls and Taylor Swift concerts or we would have nothing.
February 3Feb 3 It's interesting this came out today when Dewine announces his budget proposal and possible funding for the stadium. It's hard for the Haslams to be any less despised by fans now. Only thing left for them to do is move the team out of the area altogether.

They are no better football people than they were truckstop trust fund babies. The ideal situation would be for them to sell the team to an owner with ties to Cleveland who would be interested in cultivating a civic asset.

The NFL is complicit in everything bad that has happened to the Browns since the Modell move. They stole 3 years away from the most loyal fanbase on Earth, they forced these ridiculously incompetent owners and even pushed league shills like Carmen Policy or lazy ass retreads like Mike Holmgren to collect paychecks for doing absolutely nothing. It is astounding. I can’t tell anyone what to do, but at some point everyone has to reconsider where you should be investing your time. The NFL does not deserve it.

February 6Feb 6 ESPN radio hypothesized J.J. McCarthy. Potentially solves some problems with both teams, especially if the Vikings re-sign Darnold. And Mary is an idiot. Edited February 6Feb 6 by TBideon

For all that stations faults they at least aren't beholden to Haslam and his ilk, like 92.3 and ESPN 850 have seemingly no integrity when it comes to anything about the football squadron.

The commissioner cannot force an owner to sell a franchise but can call for a 3/4 owners vote under section 3.8(A) of the Bylaws. Time to test those waters.
March 9Mar 9 Myles Garrett out hoodwinked Jimmy ( who is a master at hoodwinking ) They will regret this contract just as they regret Watson's contract
