Jason Cole of the Bleacher Report suggests that the firing of Ray Farmer is imminent, whereas Mike Pettine will be retained for at least another season. I, most notably, turned on Ray Farmer a few weeks ago when he tried to trade Joe Thomas. That said, I'm still not convinced the right guy is going to…
Josh Gordon is not a criminal mastermind
Per ESPN, Gordon got caught, again. This time, it's booze. Part of me wonders if he was so dumb he actually drank the alcohol during the test and offered some to the tester. At the very least, this probably spells the end of his Cleveland career. I'm sure Oakland will take him.
It can ALWAYS get worse
The Browns are interviewing Mike Martz to be the new OC. Part of me has to ask if the Browns are just trolling Manziel at this point. They have to be, right? No sane person with a young QB would ever entrust him to Martz.
It’s a conspiracy… unless that’s what they want you to think!
A few days ago, I remarked on the strangeness of Kyle Shanahan leaving Cleveland as OC. Well, now we know where he's going: Atlanta, to be with new head coach Dan Quinn. ESPN's Browns guy basically says that Shanahan knew Quinn was getting the Atlanta job and wanted a job with an unsucky QB. The hire…
Is Buster Olney stupid or brilliant?
I have failed you, those who count on me for Hall of Fame coverage. I have missed that two writers have already claimed they are abstaining from the process. First up, Buster Olney: To repeat: I think Mussina, Schilling and Raines and others are Hall of Famers, but it's better for their candidacy if I…
100% of the people reading this post are reading this post (and other lies about statistics)
A friend recently shared an article about the Ice Bucket Challenge that claimed only 27% of the money raised is going towards research. Here's the article. Here's the headline: ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE: ALS FOUNDATION ADMITS LESS THAN 27% OF DONATIONS FUND RESEARCH & CURES$95 Million Later: Only 27% Of Donations Actually Help ‘Research The Cure’I was pretty…
Josh Gordon is better than an air traffic controller
I'm not surprised that Josh Gordon's 1 year suspension was upheld. Here's what I did find surprising, courtesy of Dawgs by Nature:ESPN's Outside the Lines first broke the story of the impending suspension on the second day of the NFL Draft back in early May. Later report near the end of July revealed that Gordon had tested…
Josh Gordon is a professional grade moron
I begin my day, as always, by going to Facebook. A friend comments that Josh Gordon has done something stupid again. I sigh and look it up. There are two problems with this scenario. 1) Dude, you're trying to appeal a suspension for using marijuana. How about, I don't know, putting down the marijuana for a…
Stratfor: Disband the CIA and NSA, it’s all the intelligence gathering you’ll ever need!
A friend pointed this out to me on another website. We have this brilliant tagline: Best-selling author George Friedman founded Stratfor in 1996 to bring customers an incisive new approach to examining world affairs. Under his direction, Stratfor taps into a worldwide network of contacts and mines vast amounts of open-source information. Analysts then interpret the…
Spoiler alert: Ken Ham is an idiot, not delicious
I've been looking for a transcript of the Nye/Ham debate, but it isn't available. (C'mon internet -- HK-47 and Bastila flash fiction, but no transcript of this debate?) Here's the next best thing. Ken Ham is either an epic troll or the most stupid individual of whom I have ever heard. Here's his entire argument,…
