Good point.

Going back to Hurts, he’s a prime example of someone who can go either way. You see guys like Wentz or Geoff get paid and have not much reason to improve their game. They can live like kings without ever playing again (if they get benched). They’ve made $100M.

But Hurts has all the bags in front of him he could go to be like Prescott, Cousins or Russ. Or he could become like a journeyman backup if he doesn’t progress. They are talking him up like he’s showing great improvements as a passer in camp.

To me he seems like a humble hard worker who has some good ethics. I don’t hear anything bad about him like you have with a lot of big head players with diva attitude.

Can we please get back to talking about the Browns?

The Browns are the straw that stirs the drink around here.

We just couldn't stop talking about them if we tried!

Something about the intelligence and charisma of their fanbase just makes the NFL revolve around them.

So the browns have Baker for $19M Brisett for $4.5M and Desean Watson for another large number. They’re all set.

Ha! What a royal clusterfuck. All the White people with sunglasses on memes in the world couldn’t undo the self harm here.

How did these idiots manage to get themselves into this situation?

Is watson’s 500 billon dollar contract guaranteed, like, to the point where he gets it even if he never takes the field?

The details of the guarantees aren't really out there right now. There are vague reports about "possibly" could lose guarantees depending on the charges, details, suspensions, etc.

Watson could have bought off all but 4 of these babes months ago with $100,000 payoffs but decided it had to be all of
Them or none.

Smooth move, ex lax!

Damn, slingin' insults from the last decade the Browns were consistently good not awful!

OT but what are these Instagram massage girls? I thought they were escorts, like I see all these hot girls that say massage in Dubai for example, they sure look they are advertising more than a massage?

Dude had at least one spa women sending other women his way. Read the article, pretty detailed with some of the info they provide. The questioning with the lawyer is pretty good, especially the fact that she wasn't really known to be a qualified masseuse as not a priority. Maaaaayyyybe dude had other things in mind.

Desean Watson should have talked to homie James Harden, you got to know where to get your massages.

Let's talk about Jack Del Rio's comments!

Nope.

He's trending at #2 on Twitter. Major stuff.

Good luck winning games with Jacoby Brissett. If he was any good, the Dolphins would have made the playoffs and Flores would still be the coach in Miami.

"I see nothing wrong with Jack's comments"

Anyway, welcome back Dirtbag!

now i get the white Dudes in sunglasses

Hey Pinpin66, I get that I'm living rent free, but please stop sending me PMs. As you well know, we like to air our differences publicly around here.

As far as Jack goes, I'd love to see him fired due to his complete malpractice in handling Washington's defense last season, but Riverboat Ron is intensely loyal to his troops. Don't see it happening, even if the defense underperforms as badly as it did in 2021.

Cleveland is allowing Mayfield to skip their mandatory mini-camp rent free

Totally forgot about it till Levi brought it up, gave me a healthy chortle

Bronco's being sold for $4.65 billion. Josh Harris (76er's owner) was prepared to pay $5 billion but no assurances it will sell at that. Rather than a bidding war, he folded.

Dan Snyder should be on the phone ASAP.

You seem to have a thing for Jared Goff but refuse to spell his name correctly. Weird.

Anywho - Goff is only 27, a 2x Pro Bowler, a career win record 8 games over .500 and has already put up 70% of Troy Aikman's career numbers.

What does all that mean? Probably nothing except you are also spelling Watson's name incorrectly.

Go Browns.

Rams just resigned Cooper Kupp to a 3yr $80M deal with 75M guaranteed. After Donald's $95M, Stafford's $160M, Wagner $50M, Allen Robinson $46.5M, they committed $431.5M to these 5 players over the next 3-5 years.

WOW.

In 2023 their highest paid 9 players will cost $177M. In context, the 2022 salary cap is $208M.

I think we finally understand the meaning of "Dirtbag66."

tbh 8 or so excellent players is probably what it takes.

I imagine Wagner is released after this year. If he manages to tear an ACL they can likely get a draft pick from TN even

Ok. I need to who is the "DirtBag66" you keep referring to.

Or am I just being stupid that it's Watson?

Arodge has a new girlfriend, apparently. I won't ruin the surprise.

He was a super obnoxious, humorless Browns fan who didn't want to do anything but fight with people here. He also had a hilarious backstory where he hated the Bears because they cut his brother, a journeyman linebacker, at the end of his career. He never explained why he didn't hate the other 31 teams who wouldn't give the guy a job, but he had it out for the Bears something awful.

Anyway, since he's a troll with nothing to offer besides proclaiming that he does not pay rent, and that every single person here besides himself is racist, he's been permanently banned here several times, always comes back, and is always incapable of hiding who is he is so he ends up getting banned again.

Which brings us to yesterday and the sudden appearance of someone who seems a little fixated on the Browns, Kaneda, American Pinball, the brilliant retort "oof," and who signed up for Pinside right after the most recent Dirtbag66 (who shared all of those qualities) alias got sent to the showers. Probably just a coincidence!

Appreciate the back story. I felt like the guy who never got the joke. Thanks Levi.

One of the most satisfying deaths in the history of television.

What a masterpiece that show was.

What show is this?

Breaking Bad. Rodgers is rocking the “Uncle Jack” look these days so it seemed appropriate.

First off, GO BRONCOS!

On one hand I am thinking ok, big money coming in, will the new owner hire the best coaches and staff available? Draft well and trade well?

Or will they run it like the stores, and have $9.88 tickets available, and the crowds that show up will be the same as the funny pictures I see of some of their shoppers.

I guess all their souvenirs and merchandise will be made in China now.

I am at a crossroad in my life. Always been a Bronco fan, but never been a fan of those stores the new owner is a part of.

One good thing is at least more of their games will probably be aired here, I only got to see 6 of their games last season on TV.

As far as the Colts fans, better hope you guys can get some receivers that can jump 15 feet in the air, Matt is known for overthrowing most of the time.

My girlfriend loves the Falcons, and she also hated Matt. I hate the Falcons and Matt. We both agreed that he just always had the stupidest look on his face, while trying to act like some kind of diva.

The funniest stuff was when I would actually watch a Falcons game, and the TV announcers would say that Matt put the ball to where only his receiver could catch it. Yeah, Julio Jones was the only person that could jump that high, duh.

As far as the Browns, I am just so glad that I am no longer seeing those stupid TV commercials with Mayfield anymore.

It could be super funny though if the Browns new QB started showing up in commercials for massage parlors or condoms or something like that though.

Super Bowl commercials used to be super funny, I wish they could get back to those days. Cannot and will not happen though, too many people are offended by too many things anymore.

And I do not care what they call the Redskins, I will always know that team as the Redskins. I am part American Indian, native American, or whatever you want to call it, and I always like that part of history in current events. Seemed more of a tribute more than anything else.

And I am sick and tired of the heat and humidity now, and ready for Fall and some football!

He was also sort of the Dane Cook of the thread; his only shtick was saying the same thing over & over again.
Rent Free...rent free...etc etc

Don't you miss his favorite "Triggered" meme he used every other post lol

I seem to have triggered you a little, haven't I?

You need a safe space? Maybe some Play Doh to squish around in your tiny hands

Ahhhh yes.

Unlike say, the bears and dirt bag’s brother, I say we give the man another chance, and welcome him back here with open arms and a clean slate!

We all deserve 5th chances, or in the case of deshaun Watson, a 67th chance.

For a new season is coming; could a new era of hope, love, and understanding be as well?

I want to be a part of this sparkling new future. I want to live in this new paradise with ALL of my Pinside nfl fan brothers. And yes, I’m willing to lease out some rent-free space in my head if that’s what it’s going to take!!

Who’s with me??

No thanks

Oof.

I can’t stop thinking about Cheetah and Waddle.

Yes, it would be great if the Baker Mayfield commercials disappeared.

Haha. I never understood all the “rent free” references going on here and now I appreciate some of the back story.

In fairness to you, it never made much sense to begin with.

Who’s gonna throw to waddle and hill? Is Tua good now? Can’t remember where we left that. Today he seems like a bust.

Here's an interesting take. Didn't think about this at all. Looks like the Browns could *possibly* have an escape plan (minus the draft picks, which are going to set them back a decade if Watson doesn't play, or plays poorly):

Are we allowed to talk about him now? haha. I don't want to get in the "rent free" category or have people go Ritchie Incognito on me for talking about the guy. If the group gives the green light I'll talk about him objectively.
