    He was still available? What kind of noobs do you play with? He was gone in all four of mine on Thursday night about 5 minutes after the pre-game show talked about it.

    Guys who aren't from Ohio and refuse to believe that Gordon would get his suspension reduced

    I'm a hypocrite if I don't leave this site? Based on what, shit for nuts?

    I did a draft a week or two ago (before the year-long ban was official) and I took him with my last pick. Forget how many teams there were. 12-15 maybe.

    A Steeler fan just moved to Cleveland from his shack in Pittsburgh. He wasn't feeling very well; nausea, headaches, tired...he goes to his doctor in Cleveland. The doctor examines him and says "I want you to fill up a bucket with pee, poop, a dead fish and a rotting cabbage. Then put a towel over it and inhale the vapors for three days." The Steeler fan comes back three days later and says "Doc, I feel great! How did you know it would work?" "Easy," says the doc. "You were homesick." ;)

    Besides Hawkins breakdown (which was nice) my biggest take away is our guard play. Bitonio may end up being by far the best pick in the last draft.

    I know it is only 3 games and he is surrounded by 2 pro bowlers, but for a rookie to be 4th overall among all Gs is pretty amazing.

    Hard to believe we got Greco for a conditional 7th round pick 2 years ago...

    Still would like to see them be able to run the ball, to kill clock, and finish off games. That's the big issue with the ZBS....it's fine when play action works earlier in the game but when you need a smashmouth/punch them in the face approach at the end of games, when the opposition is EXPECTING run, not so much.....

    Loving bitpwnio as well. Wanted him in the draft and glad we got him. One thing to temper excitement tho is Schwartz was top 5 rt in the league his rookie yr and now he sucks ass.

    In typical Steeler "fan" fashion, the one guy said "udder" instead of the properly used "utter" which brings us back to the fact that Steeler "fans" always have that trusty farm animal on their mind. ;)

    The most knowledgeable fans in the world according to non.

    The best part is the fans who are already giving up after a 2-2 start, which is par for the course considering their drop in attendance the last few years.

    Also have to LOL at blaming the refs and thinking the refs are out to get them. This is the same team that benefits from the Antonio Brown push offs that are never called.

    And the SB win against the Seahawks.

    Agreed. Still not convinced it is actually him, though I have heard he admitted it on a radio show before.

    Gameday!! Go brownies!!

    Go into Tennessee and shut them down. Score tds and not fgs. Need a nice momentum building win heading into a relatively nice 5 game stretch.

    Take care of business!

    Had a little down time on the drive home so, for shits & giggles, I turn the knob on the radio to 92.3.

    I swear that sometimes I think we have the dumbest fans on the planet. They are talking about Travis Benjamin's fielding "woes" on punts when this guy calls in. He argued for about 3 minutes as to why the Browns should bring back Josh Cribbs.

    As if that weren't funny enough, they stay on the topic of Cribbs and Dustin Fox is talking about how Cribbs used to come on the air and criticize Pat Shurmur for not using him at WR.

    It gets better in that Fox then reveals that during the time the station was critical of Shurmur that Pat actually called into the station once, had Fox pulled off the air so he could talk to him and said "why do you have to criticize me on the air?" What a sensitive *****....LOL

    Then, Fox says that, in confidence, Holmgren told Fox "off the record" (what we all knew) that "Cribbs isn't playing more WR because he can't run routes."

    Such an abortion....

    I have seen way too many guys, browns and other teams, take the return from 5-9 yards deep into the end zone and try to return it. Idiot did it for the bengals as well on monday night. If it is 5plus yards.....take it at the 20!

    Benjamin's issue isn't taking the ball out of the end zone. It's fielding punts. Ever since he injured his knee he's been gunshy, either muffing punts or calling for unnecessary fair catches when he has room to return it.
