I’ve lived in the Syracuse area since 1980. I’m a big fan of the orange including lacrosse. It is said that a fundamental rule change occurred after Jim Brown played lacrosse. He used to get the ball in his stick,cup against his chest and simply run down the field knocking people down until he got to the goal and then scored. Since that time, reportedly because of this, it’s illegal to carry the ball that way

It was sad. He retired in his prime at the end of the 1965 season to focus on acting in movies. I was a kid growing up in Niagara Falls. Maybe you remember that back then both the browns and the bills were televised every Sunday in western New York. I’ve always been a bills fan. For a while the Browns were my second team. If Brown had played out his natural physical career they would still be chasing him for the all-time leading rusher. One of my best years as a fan was 1964 when the bills one the AFL championship in the Browns won the NFL championship. I also remember that Lee Roy Kelly took over for brown after he retired and was a great running back for several years after that.

I remember this,also, growing up in Niagara Falls. Not only was Jim Brown the greatest running back of all time, in my opinion he is the greatest football player of all time. He had to be seen to be appreciated!

The ghost of Al Davis! Just win baby! ?

I’m bored. I wish something would happen.

This trade makes sense for both teams. Certainly for the Giants who relieve them self of a headache that over matched his talent. That’s how much of a headache he became! It also makes sense given their current quarterback situation, to me. For the Browns, there is a high risk/reward ratio. If it pays off it could be really big. If not, it can be disastrous.

Bobby Burnett

It’s just a rhetorical at this point but, how can Edelman always be so open!

I like that! Let me add insipid and banal.

Finally, some funny commercials

I’m surprised they didn’t call a personal foul on Darnold.

Much ado! Nothing to see here! Let them talk. Nothing to lose. It’s OK

I agree that the team needs to address this position either in free agency, the draft or a trade or some combination of those. However, I remain somewhat hopeful and intrigued that Croom can develop into a weapon. When he did flash a couple of times this season he looked pretty imposing. I’m sure someone else has the official data but he seems to have gigantic hands.

Not a troll, I have been here for years. Your recognition is inconsequential to me. We disagree, deal with it. Have a nice day. You can have the last word. Just stating the facts. Look it up

Plain and simple you are dead wrong. The history is clear. But you are entitled to your own opinion. But not to your own facts.

The reason why the tobacco companies were successfully sued is because they injected their product with hyper amounts of nicotine. They were, essentially, nicotine delivery systems. It wasn’t just the natural tobacco. That is why they were successfully sued. It was deemed, and appropriately so, that they duped and mislead the public. It’s a different animal from the football issue

? same as it ever was! What an anti-climax!

If the ref did not have the right angle to make that obviously bad cough and he was out of position. That’s not an excuse.If the ref did not have the right angle to make that obviously bad cough and he was out of position. That’s not an excuse.

In real time it seemed so clear that he touched it. This is why instant replay is very valuable for fairness

That abrupt cut to commercial at that point really sucked. Probably the biggest play in the game and right away they cut to a commercial!

I have my actual fireplace lit but it’s not helping. This never ends!

I’m assuming we are talking about a former player in his prime. For me, hands down, it is Thurman Thomas. He was the most dangerous offense of weapon in football for a few years. Of course, not just his running, but his past receiving. He ran routes like a top-notch wide receiver.

For me it all boils down to who is available at nine when the bills pick. The only way this works is that they make the trade literally at the last moment when the number nine pick is up or the player(s) they targeted at 9 are already gone. It does not always make sense to go all in on quantity versus quality in these situations.

No, but they are also not going to go out of their way to say something positive if they don’t believe it. If Alexander didn’t believe what he said he would not have said it publicly. On the policy

Me. I don’t think he can do that. It has to be, at least, running back by committee. He can no longer handle that job by himself in my opinion even with a functional O line
