    Insult to the American people. Man who wears a dress and barely speaks English. Another halftime show I’ll pass.

    I'm looking forward to not watching the Super Bowl halftime show.

    I only watch it dependant on who is performing. Probably skip it this year.
    I also skip the pregame hoopla. Tune in half hour before game time.

    Wow - a rookie making his first NFL start in a foreign place? I wonder if he's ever traveled overseas? Be interesting to see what happens.

    Those Browns sure know what they're doing? 🤔

    Very few of the Super Bowl half time shows appeal to me so I guess I don't care. I did get 17 seconds into DtMF before I gave up.

    This Rizz or Buns?

    Please show me the story where the Browns have announced that Dillon Gabriel will start. I don't believe stories by ESPN which are trying to get the "scoop" and show that they have an insider. This may change, but I doubt it. I was just telling @perkdog yesterday that I fully expect Flacco to remain as the starter until at least game 7.

    --- Disclaimer...................I have been wrong in the past.

    Here is a link to the Browns home page with their Week 15 depth chart relkeased a few hours ago:

    Bad Bunny is very niche

    his songs are primarily in Spanish with very little English

    best decision the NFL has made since allowing 500 pounds of humanity to shove a quarterback from behind on a short yardage play, resulting in a first down 110% of the time

    Recently heard at a NFL executives meeting:

    "Things are going way too good. We need something to irritate our fan base again. Who's got a suggestion?"

  • Steven59Steven59 Posts: 10,256 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Well an "Unofficial" depth chart is kinda like an "Expected" move??????????

    The Browns are expected to bench Flacco in favor of rookie Dillon Gabriel or their Week 5 matchup in London against the Minnesota Vikings, per CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

    I am excited to see how the newer NE offense performs against a big boy team.

    McDaniels has continuously added more motion and play action to the offense since week one when they were really stagnant. Maye has really started excelling with the changes.

    i really think we have a good one with Drake!

    Steve -

    It seems that while Bad Bunny is not homosexual himself, he has supported LGBTQ(and whatever else I would need to add to not be in trouble with any group). As I understand it Dylan Mulvaney was the failed Bud Light experiment to capitalize on the "gender insanity" that was taking place... which backfired initially... but then made everyone laugh again thanks to Kid Rock.

    I would recommend that you take care introducing these odd connections as it presents as reaction formation.

    I do think everyone agrees that Bad Bunny is pretty terrible... at Music so I can only assume the NFL is pandering to a Latin audience, which makes sense given their plans to expand and with Mexico City being a likely target for NFL expansion.

    More "reports" are starting to circulate that Gabriel will start but still nothing official. It seems that sooner rather than later Browns management will have to some sort of announcement.

    Whoever starts isn't the real problem. Right now the problem is the guys running the routes and catching the ball.

    LOL "Bad Bunny"

    No idea who it is nor do I care, the Super Bowl. half time performance is not even in the realm of anything I've ever watched or let alone looked forward to watching

    Half time show is to. go the bathroom, do a quick how do you do. on the man town and see if we got enough beer, food and if the trash is piling up or not.

    Sigmund you're missing the point. I'd say at least 95% of NFL fans don't like this guy and will never like him. The question is why would NFL executives choose somebody like this for their biggest event halftime show?

    BTW - potential NFL fans in foreign countries ain't gonna like this guy either. However for some inexplicable reason, the NFL executives, just like the Budweiser executives, think these types will enhance their business. It most obviously won't. It's stupid marketing beyond belief. Even a grade school NFL fan knows it.

    I don't know if that's what it is, but if I had to come up with a hypothesis that is what makes the most sense to me. I generally have no interest in the half-time show anyways. I tuned in for Dr. Dre... saw 50 cent rapping upside down like a bat. You know. It is what it is.

    Yes, now I believe it but I can't believe it!!!

    Said Flacco, among other things:
    So now the team will turn to Gabriel, with Flacco embracing his role as a veteran backup.

    I think the best way to help him is continue to come to work with a good mindset every day and provide that positive energy and see what he needs on his end,” Flacco said. “Listen, he’s into it, man. He’s ready to go. I’m sure he’s super excited about this opportunity. You can tell he takes it seriously just by the way he studies and his intent in the meeting rooms and on the practice field.”

    Good to hear Flacco is being supportive, I remember when that clown Ryan Fitzpatrick came out of a game and was pumping his fist for Tua when he went in only to cause drama the following week when Tua was named the starter

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I would imagine that in his long career Flacco has experienced about all an NFL QB can, but I don't know if he's been replaced mid-week by a rookie before.

    So Sheduer Sanders is apparently "butt hurt" about Dillon Gabriel getting the call to start for the Browns this week. As if that weren't enough, he remains 3rd on the QB depth chart. His response was to to give an interview which was sort of weird. He did some type of mime routine, when he was asked a question by reporters he moved his mouth/lips like he was speaking but made no sound.

    He is really starting to show himself as a nut case who is being eaten up inside, almost like he's ready to explode in a temper tantrum. He should be careful.

    He just can't stop not doing the right thing, I actually kind of felt bad for the kid but he is just trying to be a distraction , now I hope he stays on the bench the entire season

    Good luck Gabriel!

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @perkdog, the strangeness of it is that earlier Joe Flacco had demonstrated what he SHOULD do and say. The two rookies provide a good contrast to the world outside of the Browns, one shows us how a professional acts and the other how a spoiled, somewhat entitled child acts.

    That what happens when you have millions of dollars and act like youre better than everyone else which is why he fell so far in the draft. Even Travis Hunter has screamed at him on the sidelines in college. He spent his life with programs designed around him and theres a ton of talented teammates that didnt like him.

    He did show everyone. The last pre-season Game when he was put in with the "scrubs" that were gonna get cut. He pouted like a little rich kid who didn't get his way and showed no desire to win. THAT is NOT an NFL QB mentality - that is a spoiled kid that got everything handed to him on a platter mentality.

    Browns O line isn't very good either. But maybe with a mobile QB could make a difference.

    Funniest part is hes actively making himself worse. Theres posts of him working out with a local D3 college team. D3 college football are guys that were part time HS players or only started their senior year. No D1 player much less an NFL QB should be doing reps with them
