Sad to say it's at least a change to the endless OC, DC or HC and who's interviewing and who got hired.

Yeah - they kinda bombarded us with those yesterday, didn't they?

Now invest some of that in players!!!

Call it whatever you want. Until they win a few more than they lose, they're a crappy team playing in the Toilet Bowl.

Wait? It's no longer "The Jake"? If you change the name of the stadium when your team is not playing any games of import, does anyone notice?

Who gives a rip?

Greed, greed, greed.

How 'bout we have a little truth in advertising here. Call it "Taxpayer Field", or "Shafted Citizen Stadium."

Baltimore's stadium can keep the "M&T" in it's name ... it stands for Murderers & Thugs.

Actually it stands for manufacturers and Traders. I've been to quite a few Ravens games, never any problems. Nothing compares to SF, LA and NY.

really you want to place your corporate name on Browns Stadium?

I think he meant your players! Especially your middle linebacker who is now using God to deflect the fact he should be in prison right now.

Not my players. I'm an Eagles fan. Since you are so informed, what exactly did Ray Lewis do that night?

Lewis destroyed evidence and gave bogus information to the police. Ask Welker's wife, according to her I think he has six kids with 4 wives. Great role model. No wonder he is crying all of the time and has to talk about God every time a microphone is within 10 feet.
