I think there are a lot of people hiding behind the "call was correct based on the current rule" crap.  But it isn't that simple.  You can call reaching for the goal line a "football move", or say his

Good news, friend you have a Rams home game closer to you than it is to me this year.

Glad you posted this.  Forgot there was a game tonight to start the season.   Although like you will be in bed by halftime.  One of the big disadvantages to being in the Eastern time zones is not

True...but I've always held the Browns higher than any Cleveland sports team.  It's pathetic.

I didn't even watch the game.  My thought process was this:  If they win, it's a pleasant surprise.  If they lose then I don't even want to waste my time agonizing over it.  I had a lot of stuff to do around the house and after I checked my phone a couple times I knew I made the right decision.

Might tune back in when Garrett and Collins are back on defense.  Is it sad that I hope Gordon is reinstated?  Pin a slight bit of hope on a chronic marijuana offender?  They have NOTHING on offense at the skill position.

Fairways and Greens.

I was listening to the Browns' radio post-game on my way back from the course yesterday. Those guys were absolutely beside themselves. Even compared with the Queen City Horror Show (Bengals) back in the 90s, I've never heard anybody on radio sound more depressed.

Our ownerships are just as equally bad, sadly. But on the plus side, Martha Ford at least seems to have a clue as to what is going on, unlike her husband who was just about clueless to absolutely everything for far too many years. 

Rebuilding since 1957, I always say. :-(

Barf.

The RBs are killing me this year. 

First Johnson goes out in week one. Last week, my number 2, Ty Montgomery injures (breaks?) his ribs on the first, freaking series. Now, somehow, there is still speculation that Ty may play this week. I had to scramble to get a replacement and now I get to play the waiting game.

2-2 is a freaking miracle right now, but it ain't looking good.

Loving this season so far. I'm a huge fan of sports when it's unpredictable and it's great seeing so many teams seeming like they've got a shot this year. Definitely helps that my Rams are still going strong and looking awesome under McVay! Goff still isn't anywhere near the finished article, but he hasn't really lost us games this year (maybe the Seahawks one but he did everything possible to turn it around at the end) and is putting us in position to score. Everything crossed that we don't screw this up and finally manage to make the playoffs...!

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

I had a double-take on this given their recent cross-country move from St. Louis and then noticed you are English. The good folks of Missouri are probably still a little upset and LA doesn't seem to be showing up to watch them.

Yes, they have been surprisingly good. A bit frustrating for me personally as I had Mr. Gurley on my fantasy football team the other year when he struggled. My brother and I watched him pile up 32 points (a lot) against San Fran and then another 27 against Dallas. I couldn't believe it.

Ha, yes - it would look a little strange. Having no immediate ties to the NFL, I started watching it about four years back and loved learning about a new sport that is an entire culture. I had no team, but given that for football (soccer), I'm a Man Utd fan, I wanted a young team that were underdogs, so picked the Rams (the guy who was my best man is also a Derby County supporter, who are football's 'Rams', which kind of sealed it). Didn't realise quite how tough it would be, but I really like not supporting a favourite for once. I've also become massively disillusioned with the stupid money in football and the soulless nature of it, hence me getting more and more into the NFL. 

Completely understand the STL fans being gutted about it and franchises moving remains the one aspect of the NFL that I really don't get - it's very different to sport over here, where teams are based where they are founded. I'm hoping it'll come around in LA, and I'm sure that us and the Chargers winning a few games will help.

On half-term holiday this week so I may even put myself through the drudgery of Ravens-Dolphins, just for kicks...

Definitely a very unattractive thing, these teams that cities identify with so much moving. Being from southern Ohio (Cincinnati is 50 miles away), we saw our neighbors to the north in Cleveland lose their most precious franchise in the mid 90s. They got a new franchise (also named the Browns) a few years later, but it's never been the same for them.

A bit off topic, but I'm your exact opposite. My buddy got me into English soccer a number of years ago and I saw Wolves pull off a surprise result against Man U at Old Trafford under Mick McCarthy. Of course, they got relegated twice in a row shortly after that and we hardly ever get to see them on the tube now. Maybe a League Cup tie or something. ... Many of us played a sort of soccer when we were kids, but it's like a whole new sport to get into after they started showing it on a regular basis over here.

Ok Browns fans, what in the world happened on that McCarron trade?

Not for nothing, but this is really unfortunate for the Bengals that this didn't come off. McCarron is never going to be the starter down there and they'll never be offered as much as the Browns did here. Laughing at the dysfunction or miss-function of the Browns as all well and good normally, but this one is going to hurt Cincinnati.

Is that Sashi Brown? That guy just denied it. 

Just think, Cincy could have taken a couple of offensive linemen there and had a better chance at decency by 2019.

Between the NFL teams and the nightmare season in Columbus for the big state school, it has been a horrible year for Ohio football.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
