Love when people start breaking down a musician/group’s songs and if there is deeper meaning/reflection in the song writing. Always go back to the Gene Simmons quote:
Anyone who tells you they got into rock n` roll for reasons other than girls, fame and money is full of shit.
Richard Marx may have not made the most in-depth music, but he got paid, had a great time and got a lot of tail. Hats off to him.

my lower back injury gets inflamed from two things: lifting really heavy things and sitting in front of my computer at work.

I’m 30 and my lower back is a collection of knots and pain. Cubes and desks and chairs aren’t built for 6-6 people. If I raise the chair high enough so I’m sitting like a normal person, I cant fit my legs under the desk. So I’m constantly hunched over at work. Terrible.

to be fair, they are from the same offensive school of thought. and, i mean, the head coach DOES have other responsibilities you know.
January 11th, 2013 at 8:59 AM
The dude with the funky name CLE just hired has a great offensive background, no? Let it play out, Spencer. Hiring Norv is already a solid start.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:00 AM

January 11th, 2013 at 9:02 AM
husker…yea, chud’s offense got DEREK ANDERSON to the pro bowl, so it’s not all bad. but, at the same time, chud’s had about three mediocre to horrible offensive years, so it’s a little concerning. norv being there makes me feel a little better, but it’s seriously the same thing they just fired in pat shurmur, only with a coryell offense instead of a WCO.
and now they’re talking 3-4 after getting a bunch of pieces that are really nice in a 4-3? CMON!!!
chud is DEFINITELY an upgrade over retard pat shurmur tho, and he’s never coached a game. shurmur was just that fucking horrible. god damn i hate that piece of shit, pat shurmur. if he lands on one of yall’s teams, shoot him before his cancer spreads.

January 11th, 2013 at 9:04 AM
If Chud is fired in 2-3 years, it would be a colossal failure of him and the next GM. They developing young talent alone (with Norv as OC) should be able to go 7-9 to 9-7 with ease the next few years.
I am trying to reserve judgement until I get confirmation on the DC hire and what system they running on defense. Norv as OC is going to shred some fools. One more good receiver and a guard that can pull, that offense is set.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:04 AM
I’d wait and see re: CLE goes. They have so much cap space and a new owner who seems to have his shit together. I’d hold off on the panic button until you see how they spend that money.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:04 AM
I try to spend the majority of my work day in meetings. Not only does that help me stay coordinated, it means I can do the bulk of my “desk work” at home, where I have an office with furniture that suits my height. It’s not always successful, but I can feel a difference during weeks with lots of meetings.

True, but they aren’t as bad as Joe Fan thinks they are, and the players know that. Obviously selling the city of CLE add an element to it, but rich people live in nice areas in every town, so I always think that’s a bit overrated.

January 11th, 2013 at 9:12 AM
That’s another way to get out of the cube. The downside to all the maneuvering, of course, is that you end up with a ton of work to do at home just to avoid back pain. Seems really wrong.

I was going for a close approximation. Couldn’t find his original quote.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:12 AM
I prefer to have head coaches that dont call plays for this very reason. I would be worried that Norv might not readily accept criticism of his offense from a rookie head coach.

golf, bro. GOLF.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:47 AM
This is pretty funny. I assume TBL will make this a post.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:47 AM
yep. I thought Haslam would throw around his money and make splash with the coaching hire. Instead you get a former Browns OC who is bringing on Norv.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:48 AM
Yoga would make me more flexible which would in turn make me a better golfer. Plus it’s something the Mrs. and I can do together which is always a plus when you’re married as the spouse insists on hanging out.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:48 AM
She must have a great personality.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:49 AM
this is a criticism? if anything, that’s a fucking brilliant move. norv’s one helluva OC…if he got floaty rivers to be a great downfield passer, he’ll be able to do SOMETHING with weeden. i like this aspect of the hire, by far, the best.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:49 AM
Swimming is also good for a bad back.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:49 AM
The only thing I can honestly remember is, when he first got to Cleveland, there was a puff piece about him and a guy said Holmgren parked across from his house to go to church. He said hi to guy, therefore making him the Savior of Cleveland.
/might have been about Mangini

What does this even mean, hiring a guy with a name everyone knows? Yay, Jon Gruden!
January 11th, 2013 at 9:50 AM
it def helps, that’s for sure. it’s nice being a natural gumby.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:51 AM
nope, pretty sure that was a terry pluto reader about holmgren.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:52 AM
yeah poking at the Norv Turner as OC hiring, that’s mypic or ignorant. that’s perfect offense for the talent on roster.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:52 AM
the Cleveland Browns just don’t get it.
yep. I thought Haslam would throw around his money and make splash with the coaching hire. Instead you get a former Browns OC who is bringing on Norv.
Better than blowing the house account on bringing in Chucky.

Yeah I really want to try that. I used to be a good swimmer. Finding the time/location is the toughest thing now
January 11th, 2013 at 9:54 AM
Good thing Weeden isn’t the exact age that Rivers was when his decline began.
What’s that?
January 11th, 2013 at 9:54 AM
The offense this guy ran in Carolina didn’t trust Cam Newton to gain one yard in a game deciding situation.
Yeah he’s smart.

Alright, I mean the guy turns thirty two days after I do, the third week of this upcoming season. He’s not exactly the freshest ball of playdoh is what I’m saying.
Also Rivers has always been pretty awful.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:57 AM
PeerLess gets it.
I actually asked a trainer friend of mine for lower back strengthening exercises and stretches. There really aren’t a ton. Lotta downward facing dog shit.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:57 AM
See! I totally have a Holmgren memory.
/stares out over river
January 11th, 2013 at 9:57 AM
Holmgrem brought some stability, and hired Heckert who cobbled some decent drafts together and infused the roster with lots of young talent. He really liked the part of serving as de facto owner and such.
But, the Shurmur hire was sketchy (granted, nobody was doing shit with that roster though). But Holmgren got lazy, reportedly was last guy in, first guy out. That’s unacceptable.
As for him helping Shurmur or Shurmur refusing his help with coaching, nobody will ever know. I do think he did okay with assisting with some of the positional coaches like Rhodes who developed the young guys.

//river bursts into flames
///O-H-I-O!
January 11th, 2013 at 9:59 AM
ok, so he’s 30. he also doesn’t have degradation from years of compounding football injuries from the ages of 19-24 and plays a position where athleticism really doesn’t mean a whole lot as long as you can move a lil and still chuck it.
of course, roger staubach was a 27 year old rookie who didnt start until he was 30 (and then missed almost the whole season when he was 31 with an injury) and ended up fine. and his game was far more dependent on athleticism than weeden’s.
obviously, it’s a small sample size, but worrying about a QB’s age when he’s not covering or tackling 20 year old freaks seems like a stupid thing to fret over.
January 11th, 2013 at 9:59 AM
I’m actually he didn’t just throw a ton of money at a “name” coach just to please the fan base. That stupid line of thinking is exactly how Lerner hired Holmgren.

Yeah he’s smart.
Didn’t say he was smart, just said it’s better to go with smart over famous. Specially in small-market towns where they go nuts over a big name coach who’s just got canned by a big team.
/see: Mangini, Eric.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:00 AM
Oh man I just thought of something great, what if he brings one of his own QBs with him?

dude, we HATED the mangini hire when it was announced. at least get your facts straight.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:01 AM
Counterpoint: John Beck, Chris Weinke
January 11th, 2013 at 10:01 AM
it’d probably be derek anderson.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:03 AM
counter-counterpoint: neither of those guys has weeden’s arm, had weeden’s college production or had offensive weapons on the roster like richardson, josh gordon and greg little.
im not saying weeden’s a stud or is gonna be good, but he’s not beck/weinke and he’s got a system now that he should do well in and his age really has dick to do with that.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:04 AM
I still believe Weeden will develop into a semi-decent QB. Just give the dude a year or two.

f’real…and youre a ravens fan too. pretty sure i saw every pass weeden threw this year, and there were a few STINKERS in there, but also some throws that made your jaw drop. dude has a SERIOUSLY good arm.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:06 AM
I’m so saving this thread and so fired up to link it 2 years from now.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:06 AM
I mean Weeden should be the second best QB in that division within a year, yeah.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:07 AM
And if anyone knows QB talent when he sees it, it’s a Ravens fan.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:07 AM
That’s easily 1.5 TBL ownership changes away. No way these comments are here.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:08 AM
what blows my mind is dalton. yea, we have the 2nd most uncoverable deep threat in the league (maybe 3rd if fitzy had a good QB) and yet they roll with a noodle-armed ginger. makes no fucking sense.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:08 AM
Richard marx story was great, but now I have “Dont Mean Nothing” stuck in my head.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:09 AM
Guys I think we should reserve judgment on the Browns moves and Weeden until Poindexter tells us what the football guys are saying about it. All the football guys.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:09 AM
Dalton and picks for Rivers. Seriously.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:10 AM
hey, there’s something to it, actually…nobody knows how a downfield attack with a strong armed QB opens up the field for a hard-to-tackle RB that’s always wide open for checkdowns quite like a ravens fan!
January 11th, 2013 at 10:10 AM
howabout just reversing the carson palmer trade? win-win.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:10 AM
+1 pocketful of sunshine
January 11th, 2013 at 10:11 AM
shit, the bengals getting carson palmer again might be the greatest short sale in the history of trade.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:12 AM
What else would CLE have to give up in a Weeden/Rivers swap?
January 11th, 2013 at 10:13 AM
Rivers is a bottom ten QB right now, giving up assets for him would be retarded.
That being said, I think the Vikings should go for it.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:14 AM
He can be salvaged. He just needs jump ball guys to throw to. If he went to Arizona with Fitz and Floyd he’d have a Warner-like resurgence.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:15 AM
Louisiana Purchase, Manhattan for a bunch of beads, Seward’s Folly, aint got nothin on that Palmer trade.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:17 AM
Rivers wont be good anymore but there will be some suckers out getting taken. I think having 6 kids ruined him.

January 11th, 2013 at 10:19 AM
… shouldn’t we wait for Dre Kirkpatrick to 1) walk again and 2) make an impact before we declare that the Bengals fleeced them? I mean they obviously got way more out of the deal then they should have, but, doesn’t mean they’re going to come out way ahead.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:22 AM
They still fleeced them, though. They got a shitty QB and don’t have those picks. Cincy not making good picks doesn’t mean the deal wasn’t a total fleecing because it definitely was.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:22 AM
Rivers is only about 1.5 years older than Weeden, and played behind maybe the worst OL in football this year.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:23 AM
Yeah it was definitely a fleecing but it could end up basically being like getting Manhattan for some beads then Manhattan ending up burning down in two years.
January 11th, 2013 at 10:26 AM
First impression: that’s pretty awesome.
*gets to end of video*
HOLY SHIT, THAT’S INSIDE SOMEONE’S HOUSE!!
January 11th, 2013 at 10:48 AM
I agree that he’s not beck/weinke but I don’t think he’s much better than that. Personally, a more accurate Henne is the comp for me and that’s not enough unless that defense becomes elite. I had some faith with Heckert on that starting with this draft, but at this point I don’t think that we can count on additional elite personnel on the team. I warned people about that Banner hiring, its going to ruin a good thing.
January 11th, 2013 at 11:04 AM
