Not a dry eye in this house. Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre. I couldn't be happier.

Longest HOF speech.
Just grabbing another record on his way out, I see.

His speech didn't even feel that long, it was as engrossing as you would figure it to be.

Kevin Greene was the one I was happiest about. He was long, long, long overdue. It was a travesty it took him that long. Ric Flair feels the same as you. Flair was happy that Kevin Green finally got his due and was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Shame he never got to win a Super Bowl as a player. Like Brett Farve, I hope Peyton Manning goes in his first year of eligibility. Not many people know this but Jake Roberts got the name "The Snake" from the late Ken Stabler. It is interesting that Pro Football and Pro Wrestling are intertwined with one another.

I love how the ESPN commentators kept trying to throw Friday's Tim McGraw concert under the bus for the poor field conditions. Just another reason to hate country music.

There were a lot of injuries last year in that game. I can understand the reasoning, but it's football...really surprised.

Well it's official, RGIII is the Browns week 1 starter. Not only that but the Cleveland Browns 25th starting Quarterback since 1999. Glad Hue announced it now rather than waiting. Mike Pettine waiting until week 1 to announce that Brian Hoyer was the starter seemed to be the downfall of not only Hoyer but also Manziel.

Well, maybe not directly but it definitely didn't help that it seemed like Pettine didn't seem like he knew who he actually wanted to start. So by the time he made Manziel the starter he wasn't just a rookie coming in on week 1 with the regular rookie QB expectations, but instead he was JOHNNY FOOTBALL coming in to save the Browns mid-season. Which turned out to be a horrible flub, If I was Pettine I would've started Manziel week 1 of his rookie season. Even if Hoyer was better at that time Manziel's hype train was so large at that point coming out of college, had he not waited to start him and just sent him out week 1 everyone would've been able to seen that he was not an NFL QB week 1. Rather than getting up everyone expectations even more by waiting til week 11 or 13 or whatever the heck week it was and letting everyone down.

Maybe it didn't help, but if you're intent on being a starting QB in the NFL you have to learn how to deal with adversity and criticism. Manziel cannot.

I'm not trying to debate about what caused the downfall of Johnny Manziel, fact is dude was a straight bust. I'm straight out of sympathy and pity for the guy. However I wish him the best of luck in getting his life back together. Maybe a stint in the slammer will help him do that.

His Twitter posts a few months back made me think of Ryan Leaf going off on that reporter in the locker room.

So RGIII got the dishonor of being the Brown starting QB. Have fun while it lasts! I went to a 11 on 11 scrimmage at Ohio Stadium this past Saturday. He looked really good, completing passes, scrambling around. It looks like that year riding the bench made him decent again, I'm not ready to jump on the bandwagon of all the reporters saying "HE'S BACK TO ROOKIE FORM!". But he at least looks like he'll be able to helm the ship until the Browns find a college rookie they like enough to draft.
