A certain Chicago resident may not like to hear this, but the 'Barkley at 1, BQA at 4' is really picking up steam on sports talk radio...not only was this the topic on conversation on Clay Travis (yeah, he's a douche, but he still has quite a following), but was trending on G&W as well. Funny how I said this two months ago, and quite frankly it was tongue-in-cheek to get a reaction on here--now I'm not so sure that this won't happen.

I racked my brain trying to figure out who BQA was before realizing you mean best quarterback available lol.

  Also, fuck this "I trust" Dorsey bullshit.   At this point, no GM deserves our trust until they prove it.  I don't give a fuck if we hired a GM with multiple titles under his belt. 
 

 

I'm starting to think there's something in the water because the Browns have had some pretty decent talent evaluators and as soon as they get to Cleveland they forget how to draft.

If Dorsey does something mind numbing, like letting Hue convince him AJ McCarron is someone they can roll with, he's lost any benefit of the doubt.

!00% agree with this. Look at Bill Polian, all it takes is one bad dumb take and you're ruined. What have you done for me lately. At this point, Dorsey cut Britt so he's on the positive side of the scale thus far. Has to keep up with it.

Also, how has no one called out vball for his dumb chest thumping. OMG A local sports radio guy was talking about it?!?! Def picking up steam and is going to happen!!!!111 GREAT CALL! /Sarcasm

lol--a 'local sports radio guy', and 'is going to happen'? gotcha'

Do any of you listen to Goldhammer?  My buddy at the combine said he was a complete ass clown and loud, and that no wonder everyone hates the Cleveland media.  Obviously Grossi and MKC suck too

Goldhammer sucks and is well hated in Cleveland. the only reason he's in radio is because his dad is a wealthy man who has ties with the station ownership. 

This sums up my feelings on Barkely at #4:

The Browns last season were 10th in rushing according to @fboutsiders. 14th in adjusted rushing… 32nd in passing. But hey, lets draft that running back first.

AND Hue didn't even use them well. The game Crowell busted a 66 yarder then got 2 touches afterwards.

Gotcha. I only listen to 92.3 while at work. Could never get into the clowns on 850.

He's an asshat. Along with Lima, the worst. Only one to top them both was Chuck "I wish I was in JFF's pants" Booms.

I was laughing driving home the other day because 92.3's Brown beat writer, Daryl Ruiter, was on seething because John Dorsey made a comment at the Combine toward the media about "see, this is what you guys do to try to stir stuff up" and Ruiter lost it (on the radio). He says "it's no wonder people have such a negative view of the Cleveland media." No Daryl, people have such a negative view of the Cleveland media because a) you guys generally suck (lead by Tony Grossi & MKC) and b) you DO try to stir shit up (again, lead by Grossi and Rizzo).

When outsiders come into town with the mindset "we've heard about you guys in the Cleveland media" you know there's an issue.

Plus, I think Goldhammer's a Broncos fan. Could be wrong on that but guys like him, Roda (Steeler fan) and Adam the Bull (Bengals fan) should shut their holes about the Browns.

Well ward certaintly made his case for being the number 4 pick. I would be completely happy with Fitzpatrick or ward at 4 

Speaking of Ward, I was looking at one of those "free agent destinations that make most sense" articles and they had TJ Ward returning to the Browns. Thoughts on this?

Nah, he's not a good player anymore. And we have some solid SS on our team already.

Coudlve sworn Ward hates Cleveland anyway.  I don't think he was too thrilled how they let him go.

Any shock that is was Mr Bitter Ass (Grossi)?

Why has Cleveland failed so miserably to pump in new blood for sports reporting?

Most of the talent jumped to the Athletic. Stuck behind a paywall, they go unnoticed.

Not only that but they get pissy if a front office exec won't give them some "inside information." These clowns go to pre-draft press conferences thinking guys like Dorsey are going to let them in on some little secret on what his plans are for free agency/draft and when they get "spin" from the GM, essentially telling them nothing, they act like bitches.

Yup. the reason I hate on MKC and Grossi more than others is bc my buddy has also told me stories of them reaching out to him begging for "sources". They are bums and have 0 insight into the actual front office. I can't believe 92.3 actually puts her on the air. Losers

I can't stand either of them. Grossi is just bitter and MKC is clueless. I may have told this story but a few years ago the Browns were having Solomon Wilcots do their preseason games and I think it was 92.3 who had him on to discuss the Browns and they get on the topic of the Cleveland media.

Wilcots proceeds to say "Cleveland has some highly respected media/reporters like Mary Kay Cabot." First, I laughed because he thought she had cred, but the funnier part was that he pronounced her name "Ka-bow" instead of "Cab-bit" like it was some kind of fancy French shit or something. If she's so "highly regarded" why the Hell don't you know her name? lol

Pretty sure the next ThomaHawk podcast is tomorrow (Wednesday). With free agency being a week from tomorrow, I'd expect Joe Thomas to give some idea as to what direction he plans to go this season so the Browns can act according in FA.

On a side note, JT recently auditioned with Fox Sports to be one of their broadcasters so it looks like he'll keep us guessing until he puts out official word..

Penn State's class is extremely athletic. And Orlando Brown may have worked himself out  of Day 2. a - SPARQ score and a 0 NFL %.

Not that history is guaranteed to repeat itself but, for those banging the drum for Barkley with a top 4 pick, in John Dorsey's history of drafting, he's never taken a RB in the 1st round. Heard this on my drive home.

Probably has been mentioned on here a couple of times but I'm hearing more & more about the idea of taking Barkley at #1 and trading back up to #2 with the NYG's for the QB.
