No he hit the shoulder first with such force it slid up to the face mask to face mask not a penalty by any rule.

That's just not right. He made contact with the helmet regardless of whether or not he hit with his shoulder first.

From the slow-mo I saw, it was a glance across the edge of the face mask.  Whether that counts as a penalty or not, it's not the reason the helmet went flying.

That's a penalty on the QB. If you brush the helmet with your hand it's a penalty on the QB.

Could work out perfect for the Bills - they've seen what he can do - put him on IR now and potentially bring him back later - unlimited players can come back from IR again this year

Not according to what Sal said a week or 2 ago.  The IR rules are if you put a player on IR  before the 53 man roster cut down date he's out for the season.  You have to wait until after 53 is established.  The way teams get around it is they release a veteran who is not subject to waivers with an agreement to re-sign him. Then they IR the injured guy and bring back the vet who is waived.

Because they realized they screwed up and begged the league for an expansion franchise.  If they'd built the football stadium before the baseball stadium the Browns wouldn't have left.  They didn't do that, even though the Browns were consistently winning at the time, and the baseball team was terrible. They kept stringing Modell along over and over again.

From what I remember hearing, Modell was broke because he owed a ton of debts to people and the city of Cleveland and that's why he left. He had to go to 3 different banks to get money to bring Andre Rison there in their final year in that stadium. He wanted out before he had to pay everything he owed. It wasn't just because of the stadium issue.
