Billzgobowlin Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 What does it matter? If they truly tanked they are hedging bets on teams not watching them and lost revenue on being able to draft a player that might help the franchise...

Richard Noggin Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Promise I'll read the linked piece about this, but the investigation in question HAS to stem from Hugh Jackson's accusations, right? I haven't seen anyone mention him. He's part of this suit, and he has made accusations that would reasonably lead to such an investigation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 In the leagues defense if we get to see some of the Browns front office plans those years. We can say the league was just using this to investigate GM Sashi Brown to find out if he was in fact using hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 This is a real lose-lose proposition for Browns fans. If the team is cleared of wrongdoing, it means they really were truly horrible at football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what point you are trying to make or why others think it is so funny. The Browns haven’t won a title since 1964. For all intensive purposes, they haven’t won any titles to take away. That alone makes the joke funnier than watching several clowns emanating from a tiny vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says right there that they are investigating Brian Flores claim in Miami. I am no sure what to expect, but of course both stem from the lawsuit and my guess is similar to the Pats - there will be fines and draft picks lost over this. The NFL will understand what was done - it will help lessen any blowback from the lawsuits and they can push it under the rug. Protect your business investment first and foremost.

StHustle Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hue Jackson said he told the NFL years ago so it is odd timing of this investigation being opened. Probably is Watson blow back. And when I first heard Jackson’s claims I had zero faith he’s make sense of it until I heard his sides of the story and it actually make full sense. Can’t find the interview online tho. It was in the last 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I thought the Indianapolis suck for Luck season was worse than anything I ever saw any other team do. Indy had a decent roster but continued to play to the weakness of their reserve QB. Cleveland was just a terrible roster and terrible front office.

ALF Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hue Jackson's claims Browns incentivized him to lose spark inquiry Jackson first made the claims on Twitter. He wrote Haslam was "was happy while we kept losing," and while it may not have been $100,000 he was offered to lose, Jackson assured followers, "Trust me it was a good number." Jackson, who is now the head coach at Grambling State University, told ESPN in February there was money to be made for hitting certain milestones, like attaining a certain number of draft picks and being the youngest team in the league. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/incentivized-tanking-allegations-nfl-inquiry-browns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a Maple Leaf fans, we won thirteen championships, the last of which was 1967. Yayyyyy! If you are still pointing to that scoreboard expecting to be taken seriously, that’s just sad. Cleveland won four championships in a 14 team league from 1950-1964. They haven’t won anything in the NFL in 58 years. The Bills haven’t won anything in the NFL in 52 years. Neither franchise’s fan base should be celebrating their teams unparalleled success in the NFL. I am turning 50 this year, while the Bills AFL championships are nice, they mean very little to me. I feel like there needs to be a statute of limitations on championships. When do they become irrelevant? 50 years since the last championship? 100? Then again we still point to the scoreboard on the Brits every July 4th and we closed out that game in 1781. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, doesn't make much sense to me. I can't see anything coming from this. I mean Browns have been one of the worst, if not the worst teams in the NFL for many years up until 2020. Wonder what it is about only 2016-2017 season that they want to look into. Browns have had lots of seasons with one of the worst records giving them a top 3-5 pick. So curious what it is about this specific season that started this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy didn't intentionally tank the season-they brought in Kerry Collins to replace Manning but he only lasted 3 games before going on IR. What were they supposed to do at that point-mortgage the future for a journeyman backup like the year the Vikings gave up a #1 for Sam Bradford? They got stuck with no QBs during the season & it cost the coach & GM their jobs. If they were purposely tanking why would they have cleaned house of the team's management? These guys got blamed for not winning & got fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Collins was all finished before showing up in Indy. After he was hurt,they tried to continue running a wide open offense, throwing the ball all over the field. Between turnovers and three and outs they were a mess. They repeatedly put a pretty good defense in bad situations throughout every game. The fact that Irsay remained quiet throughout the mess was a pretty good indication that he was onboard. He would normally be very outspoken when his team was playing poorly. I was living in Indy at that time and saw it first hand. Even the local news media talked and joked openly about sucking for Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
