NFL QB Injury Report
9/18/13
Weeden from Cleveland listed as questionable (if he don't play I got one checked off my list)

Romo from Dallas listed as probable

Gabbert from Jacksonville listed as doubtful (he was off the selection list already)

Of course since I'm the only one playing this, I'm winning - Now I sound like 2dum

Cleveland has traded Trent Richardson to Indy for a 2014 1st round pick.

If Richardson can stay healthy, this will make the colts a more balanced and overall better team.

Ugh. Yeah. Do we need any more examples to prove that the Cleveland Browns management is ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY RETARDED? The fans in Cleveland just need to storm the stadium with butcher knives, axes, and baseball bats. Because, NO SHIT, I've met teenage girls who could do a better job filling out the Browns roster and depth charts than whoever the brainless idiot is that's doing it now.

Here's exactly what's gonna end up happening... AGAIN:
Cleveland's gonna snag some very promising players this spring in the draft, bring them aboard as starters for a year or two, meanwhile they'll completely fail at building a team around those few quality key players, then when those promising players inevitably fail to pull a winning season for the Browns directly out of the corn-and-peanut shitty bowels of their own ass, the Browns will pawn them off on someone else who won't pay them jack shit and will only consider them useful enough to be backups. And it WILL happen, no matter how much inherent talent those players have. Because the NFL is run kinda like baseball now. Statisticians for each team look at a players vital stats and give them an overall score based on performance/stats, kinda like how the Madden games have OVR numbers for players or whatever. That score dictates their worth and the salary they will command. When a team needs to fill a spot in the roster, often they don't look with their EYES and their COMMON SENSE when judging how talented a prospect is or how good of a fit they are for their scheme. Instead, they go the safer route and listen to their stat guys who set limits on the minimum score they can allow a prospect to have to qualify for being brought aboard to fill that position.

It's just so frustrating to see how they welcomed a truly talented QB like Colt McCoy with open arms and bright smiles, only to kick his ass overboard a couple of short years later after they've completely murdered the worth of his stock by failing to provide him with any help to get the job done.

Then they get a damn good runningback like Trent Richardson, a KEEPER by all standards and measurements, and they kick him aside for ANOTHER 1ST ROUND DRAFT PICK NEXT YEAR, and only because he gets hit in the head pretty fucking hard one fucking time. What the FUCK is wrong with these assholes!?!

I agree, if their front office was in my fantasy football league they would be dead last.

A lot of cleveland fans are embracing this decision... "maybe the front office isn't so bad after all" haha

They say a picture is worth a thousand words... but sometimes it's a thousand names.

the Browns traded away a Trent for another 1st round pick..and are about to sign Willis Mcgahee..the move is actually pretty nice, and cost efficent..

Sgt. Dick · « **Reply #127 on:** September 18, 2013, 07:05:09 PM »

Cost efficient yes, better player performance tbd. It is possible that this will turnout to be a good deal for Cleveland, but with Cleveland's track record I doubt it.

|iR|Focalor · « **Reply #128 on:** September 18, 2013, 08:26:13 PM »

With few exceptions (Adrian Peterson), it's gotta be pretty self-evident that the first 3 or 4 years of a runningbacks NFL career are gonna be their most impressive. After that, they get injured and tired and fearful of taking vicious hits. It's probably a GREAT thing for Trent Richardson though. At least now he'll be anywhere besides the talent-sapping black hole of Cleveland for probably the best years of his pro career.

haunted · « **Reply #129 on:** September 19, 2013, 08:08:20 AM »

good for trent, good for indy, good for competition in the afc....could be good for cleveland, but screw them and their stadium, it is friggin' cold up there.

^I finally saw a video that talks about(or hints at) ncstate's home game tendency like I do, haha. "curse"

*IF* Mike Glennon didn't go to tampa bay and was still nc state's QB, then I seriously would call it for state. But..... clemson's going to roll over them this year despite how shaken up they get and how much ncstate rallies... i'll still be watching and cheering state on, though

Went to the Georgia vs North Texas game this afternoon. Got wet as shit. Rained pretty heavy most of the game. Was a little surprised by North Texas. I was thinking a no-name USA conference team would get absolutely crushed, but they actually made it somewhat of an interesting game. I was planning on staying in Athens all night and watching the UFC PPV at a bar, but I was so damn wet that I didn't feel like sitting there with 2 gallons of water in my boots all night.

Also...

My condolences to Haunted's Heels.

haunted · « **Reply #131 on:** September 21, 2013, 04:20:44 PM »

Thank you, your condolences are appreciated and warranted...

UNC has blown some things in the past, but...... it really wasn't the case this time.

<@haunted> 28-20
<@haunted> refs were with tech
<@haunted> unc played better football
<@haunted> not sure what else to say

The worst call I'm referring to is one ref calling TD on a retarded 4th and goal attempt by Paul Johnson. The guy fumbles it while in midair near the line of the end-zone... One ref calls TD, the others follow the runner that picked up the fumble. Official Review showed that it was loose about 3 or 4 inches before line, but it wasn't "ENOUGH" to overturn the ruling on the field.. because they were all up tech's ass.

It will never happen because he is 2Dum to get in, but I know that comment peaked 2Dum's interest in GT.

Georgia's defense looked good though...2 td's for N.Texas on special teams made the game closer than it should have been..

USCw almost lost to UTah St...

Florida's backup qb looks way better than Driskel..looks like injury has boosted the qb spot, oddly enough.

arky losing to the scarlet knights of Rutgers = the

of the day

eta: I take that back, Michigan is currently losing to Uconn..if that holds, that game takes the title.

Still, I haven't seen any other "cupcake" no-name conference team hold up that well against Georgia in the Aaron Murray era. Good for North Texas, they're representing good for the USA conf.

Also, apparently I was honored to witness a school record getting broken too. 98 yd TD pass from Aaron Murray, longest in UGA history.
