The suggestion among some fans that Kluber is the Kershaw of the AL, e.g. he can't "get it done" when it counts in big games, is false. He was very good in the postseason last year until Game 7.

I'm guessing (and, frankly, hoping) that he was injured, because otherwise I have to abandon all confidence in him in future postseasons. That said, if he was injured, the blame shifts to Francona. Why was he starting at all?

I think he was hurt. His back was messed up early in the season and these last two starts he's looked the same. Just didn't have it.

Literally can’t make this shit up. Fucking Browns hahahaha. They’d find a way to finish no better than 5th in the BIG10.

They apparently wanted to get a deal done for Jimmy G last night too, but couldn’t get it done. They have two first round and three second round picks and he went to SF for a second.

Just the worst franchise in any sport. Horrid.

I assume this means Manning is coming soon... sigh, I liked Sashi but I do get this, even if you Houston Astro the team you can't then become the worst team in NFL history... you still have to win SOME games...

I guess this probably means they are giving up on DeShone. I kinda hope they cut him just so he can go to a real organization.

Brett Veach. He's from Mt. Carmel here in PA (15 minutes from my house), the winningest HS program in the state (used to be in the entire country). He was a hell of an athlete, I believe 2 time state championship team as well. Smart football guy, and has been with Andy Reid since Philadelphia.

Fuck come on Jimmy. This is the opposite of what you should have done. Sashi has done a good job. Hue is a mess.

Yep... anyway.

I can't recall if I ever told this story but I was at the 2008 Sun Bowl between OSU and Pitt. It ended 3-0 with OSU getting one FG just before halftime, and that was it. So on the bus back to the parking area there is a Pitt alum, about 40ish, and he is RAGING... "I'M SO FUCKIN HAPPY I SPENT 1,500 DOLLARS TO FLY ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE TO WATCH MY TEAM SCORE ZERO FUKIN POINTS!!!!!" He'd just randomly scream at times... on and on, it was a very awkward 10 minute or so drive... everyone else was like:

Cleveland Browns fans hold mock parade to protest winless season | Fox News

Samuel Chamberlin


Cleveland Browns fans have not celebrated an NFL championship since 1964. On Saturday, six days after their team concluded the second 0-16 season in pro football history, thousands of them held a mock parade to mark a new low for a franchise that has had plenty of them.

At a gathering that was half-protest, half-party, supporters lined the streets around FirstEnergy Stadium and cheered as 80 vehicles, a rock band on a flatbed truck and a group carrying 28 tombstones to represent the team's 28 starting quarterbacks since the team resumed play in 1999, took a "no victory" lap.

'One of these days:' What it's like to be an NFL fan in Buffalo, Detroit and Cleveland

Joe Haden happy Browns cut him, paid Osweiler
Joe Haden's exit from the Cleveland Browns was unceremonious, unsurprising and for a team that ended up going 0-16, unnecessary.

Haden was a cap casualty on a team that had a surplus of cap space. Asked to take a pay cut by former Browns GM Sashi Brown, Haden refused, instead requesting a release and freedom from a team he'd given years of service.

The cornerback recently revealed his feelings surrounding his departure and almost immediate signing with division-rival Pittsburgh, for whom Haden will suit up and play in his first career playoff game on Sunday.
