The Cleveland Browns signed six of their tryout players to contracts today. The six players are listed below:
Tiffin seems interesting, since he connected on 30 of his 35 field goals last season.
As some of you started discussing earlier, LB Matt Roth has asked for a trade if he doesn't receive a new contract. Is this an effect of so many players taking the front office's handling of the Joshua Cribbs situation as a gesture that they will be handing out new deals left and right?
This seems like a rehash of what's been said on D'Qwell Jackson and Abram Elam already, but some of these guys need to start facing reality. They are playing on a team that has not had a winning culture for awhile, and none of them were even close to being above average players last year. Jackson missed most of the season and you could argue that the linebacker unit got better without him. Elam was healthy throughout the season, but the Browns' secondary was still vulnerable. Roth is probably the highest on my list of our defensive RFA's because he was a monster when the Browns signed him late in the season, but that's all he had -- a few games in a down season.
All of this talk is probably pointless anyway. It would almost be a shock if all of our RFA's did not sign before June 15. Sure, they will have missed out on OTA's, but they aren't going to forfeit the money that is already on the table considering few teams are probably ringing our bell about them anyway.

Moya is very tiny, plus he only had like 150 yds his senior year
TheRealSlimShady - May 17, 2010
he might have been signed to get reps at fullback

I’m a fan of Leigh Tiffin and anyone named Kwaku.

Kahlua?
SpecialBrownie - May 17, 2010
mmmm…Kahlua…tastes like liquid candy.

Never drank it so wouldn’t know.
SpecialBrownie - May 17, 2010
Any alcoholic beverage that combines well with coffee cannot be underestimated.
RelapsingDawgCatcher - May 17, 2010
Depending on your tastes, that could be a rather large field of candidates. Eliminate ouzo (it’s not bad, but has no business getting near my coffee) and the list is still pretty extensive.
JustBob - May 18, 2010
Right you are. The world is my wet bar!
RelapsingDawgCatcher - May 18, 2010
it basically tastes like a mocha frap with a shot of vodka…at least to me. it is a cofee liquor but is very chocolatey too.
bross09 - May 17, 2010
Never tasted any of that so still wouldn’t know.
SpecialBrownie - May 17, 2010
You’ve never had a mocha frap?
emily522 - May 17, 2010
Nope. Coffee’s disgusting.
SpecialBrownie - May 17, 2010
you probably wouldn’t like it then…although to me it is more chocolatey than coffee-like
bross09 - May 17, 2010
Yeah, still not the slightest bit interested.
SpecialBrownie - May 17, 2010
thats perfectly fine. to each, his own.
bross09 - May 18, 2010
You’re 19?
danvail - May 18, 2010
I don’t think SB drinks alcohol, at all
Kimble_79 - May 18, 2010
Yes but the point remains I don’t drink regardless.
SpecialBrownie - May 18, 2010
I do give you props for that my man. Not many can go through college w/out atleast getting wasted one night.
Kimble_79 - May 18, 2010
I commute which makes the process even easier.
SpecialBrownie - May 18, 2010
I just don’t get how being a Browns fan hasn’t led you to a drink.
Roger Dorn - May 18, 2010
nice…rec
Kimble_79 - May 18, 2010
It’s the ultimate test of adversity.
It should be it’s own sport.
SpecialBrownie - May 18, 2010
I didn’t really drink till later in my college career. Mostly because a lot of the people who were drinking at 18 were idiots/made it really unattractive.
rufio - May 18, 2010
My bad.
danvail - May 18, 2010
Hahaha. People are young and stupid. I was too, just in different ways.
rufio - May 18, 2010
hahaha
TheRealSlimShady - May 18, 2010
Same here. I didn’t start drinking until I was in Panama City on spring break my junior year, when I was 20.

Bernie19Kosar - May 18, 2010
A big group of us from college went there 2 years — 2000 and 2001. We rented a house right on the beach and about a mile down from all the party hotels and bars. It was awesome. We had a nice, quiet place to hang out by the water during the day and we could walk down to the parties at night.
Buckeye Brad - May 18, 2010
I agree. People who drink underage (myself not included) do it because they think it makes them cool and rebellious. At least that’s my opinion.
The funniest thing is is when you look at underage people’s facebook pictures and they deliberately pose with beer cans in their hands as if to say, “Look at me! Look at me! I’m such a rebel.”
emily522 - May 19, 2010
Stop it you’re making me feel old. Don’t old worry old people do that same stuff.
Villeslgr - May 19, 2010
I agree mostly. I confess I have drank underage but I have not done it to be rebellious. I also do not enjoy getting blackout drunk like many I know.
bross09 - May 20, 2010
You all can make fun of me for it, but I wouldn’t drink much cause it tastes nasty. Plus all the other bad stuff
TheRealSlimShady - May 20, 2010
It can actually hurt you a lot more from a physical standpoint if you binge drink when you are young vs. when you are of age, so that’s probably a great mindset for you to have. At least for now.
I didn’t really drink anything until I was 21. Don’t let anyone make fun of you for it.
rufio - May 20, 2010
Exactly, anyone making fun of you for it, is probably only drinking and making fun of you because someone made fun of them.
If you want to drink be responsible if you don’t tell them to kiss off.
Villeslgr - May 20, 2010
As rufio said, don’t let anyone make fun of you for not drinking. You want to stay away from that stuff in high school; you’ll have plenty of time for drinking in college and when you’re older.
Buckeye Brad - May 20, 2010
this, do your own thing TRSS. I started probably my senior year of high school or so. I had plenty of friends that didn’t though and nobody ever gave them a hard time.
Kimble_79 - May 20, 2010
I thought that at 15. When you get older, you will find something you like. No rush.
Roger Dorn - May 20, 2010
Anything in moderation (other than heroin, crack and meth) is good for you.
It’s women you want to stay clear of.
golanbatrac - May 20, 2010
Everything in moderation. Including moderation.
RelapsingDawgCatcher - May 20, 2010
Just what I needed, another excuse to drink.
golanbatrac - May 20, 2010
You are wearing your drinking hat.
Villeslgr - May 20, 2010
coincidentally, I have a drinking hat!
notthatnoise - May 20, 2010
My job here is done.
RelapsingDawgCatcher - May 21, 2010
Is that possible?
TheRealSlimShady - May 21, 2010
Nope, I think it tastes disgusting too.
emily522 - May 20, 2010
thats actually a good thing. its not the most pleasant taste the first time you taste it.
bross09 - May 20, 2010
Yeah, I wasn’t trying to generalize about the rebellious thing. People do it for obvious reasons but for many it seems… actually I honestly don’t know the motivation for it.
emily522 - May 20, 2010
I see your point and I do agree. especially in high school, it is a rebellious thing. in college, it ends up being more of a social thing, though its not at all mandatory and very rarely is there a ton of pressure to drink.
bross09 - May 20, 2010
Yeah, I was referring to high schoolers, not people in college.
emily522 - May 20, 2010
yeah…most people who drink in high school are stupid…at least at my school.
bross09 - May 20, 2010
I had a different experience. then again I went to a high school with relatively few dumb kids, and a lot of smart kids.
notthatnoise - May 20, 2010
Same here. Or there. Whatever to make that past tense.
rufio - May 20, 2010
I drink underage because i think its fun. then again I’ve only ever gotten sick once in my life, and i’ve never blacked out. honestly if the drinking age were lower we would see a lot less binge drinking and a lot more responsible drinking. the problem is that at 19 or 20 i can’t jsut go out to a bar with a few friends and have a few beers. i have to go to a house or apartment once a week where people feel like they have to take advantage of their opportunity to drink.
like the commercials are legally mandated to say, drink responsibly. being drunk can be fun, you just have to know your limits and remember its a social activity.
notthatnoise - May 20, 2010
+10000000
It should be 18 imo.
emily522 - May 20, 2010
I also agree with this. Not that I’m advocating to go get drunk, but as long as you don’t harm anyone or go out and drive, then whatever.
emily522 - May 20, 2010
this times 1000. I do not find getting really drunk that enjoyable. I will admit I have had a couple nights where I did get blackout drunk…however the next day i had major regrets.
bross09 - May 20, 2010
untrue. many european countries have no legal drinking age but similar binge drinking and alcoholism rates.
the problem is that kids don’t know their limit because, 1) they don’t have experience drinking and therefore don’t know how their bodies will react, and 2) they haven’t matured. at least those who reach the age of 21 have a better chance of having matured more, although i know there are exceptions. its also been shown that the younger you start drinking, the more prone you are to problem drinking or alcoholism.
i’m a probation officer, you’re not going to sell me on an argument that underage drinking is okay.
Dawg Nuts - May 20, 2010
you might get assigned to LT here soon
Kimble_79 - May 20, 2010
I stand corrected.
I still think if you can die for our country when you’re 18 you should be able to drink, though. But I’ll leave it at that.
emily522 - May 20, 2010
HUGE REC!

Kimble_79 - May 20, 2010
its okay, i wasn’t trying to ruffle any feathers. you seem to have a decent head on your shoulders for a young person.
i sound so old…
Dawg Nuts - May 20, 2010
You also probably work with a lot of…not the best of the best?
I would be spewing tons of those slogans and feeling really old too.
rufio - May 20, 2010
yeah, i’m forced to remind myself from time to time that the majority of people are pretty decent and hard-working.
half the time i feel like a babysitter, regardless how old the offender may be.
Dawg Nuts - May 21, 2010
I would not have the patience to do your job. I think I would end up strangling one of my parolee’s
Kimble_79 - May 21, 2010
yeah, i’ve been close a few times. but its easier to just taser them.
Dawg Nuts - May 21, 2010
HAHA!
Kimble_79 - May 21, 2010
Thanks Dawg Nuts.
emily522 - May 21, 2010
I would add that kids that young are also obviously having to get their drinks in when they can which i think also creates an unhealthy drinking environment (that sounds weird) where there is no concern for responsibility and alcohol is just a tool to get wasted. In my opinion if you learn to treat alcohol like that when you’re young you’re going to be in a world of hurt when you’re either in college on your own or out in the world on your own and making your own choices regarding alcohol.
Unfortunately like other things in our society the goal seems to be deny deny deny and then we wind up with uniformed immature teenagers trying to behave like they think adults behave.
Villeslgr - May 20, 2010
Let’s call this the Mad Dog 20/20 Postulate.

nice. rec.
Dawg Nuts - May 21, 2010
I would like to see your information on this.
a couple quick google searches said the highest in europe was 44% and the third highest was 36%, with most other countries being in the mid 30’s. in america, its 48%. I’d say a 10% decrease in binge drinking is significant.

notthatnoise - May 20, 2010
I think we’d also see that phenomenon with better parents.
A lot of the kids at school out here are of the “Mommy and Daddy never paid attention to me and I am wealthy and now I am at school so I am going to try to emulate Paris Hilton” variety.
At OSU “My parents never let me do anything, now its time to go nuts” was a little more common.
rufio - May 20, 2010
all you have to do to see the psychological factor at work is look at prohibition. drinking went up during prohibition, probably because the illegality of it made it exciting. thats what we see with america’s youth.
I also think it’s age discrimination. According to the government you are a full citizen at 18. why, then, do i not have all the rights of an adult?
notthatnoise - May 20, 2010
The Roaring Twenties were also a very poor time to try the experiment.
gahnki - May 20, 2010
I drink underage, not because it looks cool, but because that’s just what we do when I’m hanging out with friends. But believe what you will.
StuckInPa - May 20, 2010
yeah, i know it wasn’t the intention, but i was a little offended at the generalization that all people who drink in high school were doing it to be cool or rebellious. maybe we did it for the same reason college kids and other young adults do it, because its fun.
notthatnoise - May 20, 2010
yeah. I agree. I rarely drink by myself and rarely did it because it was taboo. In fact my dad had very loose rules about drinking
a) if you drink, DON’T DRIVE
b) If you drove, then drank, Call me.
c) I don’t care if you drink, smoke, or do any sort of drugs, just don’t bring it into the house.
when I was a teen, my dad told me stories of stuff he did, not as a suggestion, but just to point out that it would be hypocritical for him to oppose it. He trusted that I would be responsible and I never drank and drove.
Maybe it doesn’t have appeal to me as something taboo because it never really was in my house.
bross09 - May 20, 2010
I thought I had said that everyone I knew in HS who drank. Not everyone in HS that drinks ever.
My apologies if I failed to say that.
rufio - May 21, 2010
so you’re saying you found that Mad Dog?
Villeslgr - May 21, 2010
this…i remember countless days of sitting around campfires during the summer or on weekends having some brews during high school. I don’t think we did it to be rebellious and we certainly were not stupid.
Kimble_79 - May 21, 2010
I apologize if I offended you. Same with you, StuckInPA.
emily522 - May 21, 2010
I drank underage because it was goddamn fun.
danvail - May 21, 2010
Bingo!
golanbatrac - May 21, 2010
I should rephrase this:
It seems like the people that I’ve encountered who drink underage do it because they think it makes them look cool and so they can feel like they’re rebelling.
And again, sorry for offending anybody. I should’ve been more careful in my wording when I typed something like that.
emily522 - May 21, 2010
My school’s private and has a strict policy on stuff like this. Not even kidding: if you go to a party where there’s alcohol and they find out (& can prove it), you’re expelled. Even if you didn’t take a sip.
So many of the people who do it are the “popular” kids who think they’re awesome for being so rebellious.
emily522 - May 21, 2010
yeah. private schools are like that. I know someone who came to my public school because the situation (even the not taking a sip) happened to him.
bross09 - May 21, 2010
I went to a relatively small public school, about 600 students total (150 per class for the less math inclined). the school didn’t really care about drinking. if they could prove you drank at a party, you might get a couple detentions. If you were on a sports team, however, you got suspended for 25% of the season, but that might be an ohio thing, not necessarily school specific.
cliques were almost non-existent. sure, everybody had their specific group of friends, but everybody hung out with everybody, and that carried over to parties.
notthatnoise - May 22, 2010
My school’s super clique-y. It’s ridiculous.
emily522 - May 22, 2010
I went to Ignatius, so I know what your’re talking about. I never drank in HS, and don’t feel like I missed out on anything.
And kudos to you for realizing that the group “awesomeness” mentality is, essentially, retarded.
danvail - May 22, 2010
Yeah, everyone tells me I’m missing the college experience by commuting. No, what I’m doing is not killing myself and sustaining myself with a job.
Responsibility FTW!
SpecialBrownie - May 23, 2010
Right on, bro. Your not missing out on anything. I’ve been to many a college parties back in the day. They’re nothing special. There’s a time to have fun AFTER you get your shit together. It’s called weekends. Like the saying goes…. Do what you have to do today so you can relax tomorrow.
Brownie's Year - May 23, 2010
yeah.
I am actually going from dorm college to commuter for next year and the only thing I feel i will be missing is less clubs to get involved with at this new school. college parties are overrated and all the same. I totally agree.
bross09 - May 23, 2010
yeah. This is what I am going to start doing. I am transferring over to CSU for next semester.
A lot of the college experience is honestly overrated IMO. The best part of the college experience is hanging out with friends on campus or doing club stuff, but you don’t miss out on that as a commuter usually. I am going to miss buffalo, but mostly I am going to miss my friends, the clubs I was in, and just chilling. The parties…meh.
bross09 - May 23, 2010
Brilliant!
Andrew Tolliver - May 18, 2010
The dude does not abide.
Villeslgr - May 17, 2010
be careful man, there’s a beverage here.
Dawg Nuts - May 17, 2010
I think it’s players realizing that they are on a less than stellar team that quite possibly might be lining itself up for a bright future. I think they are hoping that they can get a good contract due to the lower talent level on the team. I think Delhomme’s contract is more to blame than Cribbs.
Villeslgr - May 17, 2010
Delhomme’s contract is not a whole lot for a starting QB.
rufio - May 18, 2010
I’m referring to the fact that we gave him a deal and a starting position after his recent performances. I think some of the guys are looking to get good contracts based off of their perceptions of Delhomme’s deal. While some might see it as a hope that a once competent QB can return to some measure of his past, I think the players see it as a signing of a less than stellar replacement player, which in my opinion is how the team probably views alot of those guys.
I just don’t think they’re sitting at home realistically comparing themselves and what they did last year to what Cribbs did.
Also, on some level I think these guys have an idea that they could be replaceable and are looking to test the FO and see just how replaceable they are. I guess we’ll all find out soon enough.
Villeslgr - May 18, 2010
Look at the money Derek Anderson signed for the Cardinals with to come in and be a backup.
Roger Dorn - May 18, 2010
I think these guys’ desire for a long-term deal has less to do with the “we’ve earned it” and more to do with “I should have already hit free agency and received a $5million signing bonus”
Delhomme took a pay cut to stop playing with the Panthers and start playing with us.
rufio - May 18, 2010
Plus, they can. It doesn’t cost them anything to ask and none of them are likely to get cut before the 15 June deadline, so why not? It doesn’t hurt to ask.
JustBob - May 18, 2010
And they can have an excuse to sit out OTAs as well.
rufio - May 19, 2010
I know that skip had two good D Lineman down at ECU but I haven’t heard anything about this one.
TheRealSlimShady - May 18, 2010
He is 336 lbs. and an undrafted rookie.
rufio - May 18, 2010
Not trying to sound rude, but so?
TheRealSlimShady - May 18, 2010
That’s what I’ve heard about him. Huge, undrafted, rookie.
rufio - May 18, 2010
he is also a 28 year old undrafted rookie.
bross09 - May 18, 2010
I really don’t like the stance some people seem to be taking with these RFAs. “Who needs ’em?” Well considering they are some of our best LBs, I’d say the Browns need them.
King Tony - May 18, 2010
The general attitude is more: they have no leverage whatsoever so just wait until June 15 and they’ll have to sign their tenders. The worst that can happen is they sit out the year in which case they’re right back to where they started. They can either sign a tender or retire. Not much of a choice.
danvail - May 18, 2010
yep
Roger Dorn - May 18, 2010
Wait, don’t they get to hit FA if they sit out the year?
rufio - May 18, 2010
I’m pretty sure it’s like the year never happened and the contract is unaffected right?
Unpaid and a year isn’t taken off their contract.
SpecialBrownie - May 18, 2010
If they don’t play by November 1, then there years accumulated is void and it’s as if the year never happened.
Roger Dorn - May 18, 2010
*their
Roger Dorn - May 18, 2010
So these guys have absolutely no leverage.
rufio - May 18, 2010
Nada.
SpecialBrownie - May 18, 2010
Just because they might be our best linebackers, does that mean we should overpay them when they have no leverage?
Chris Pokorny - May 18, 2010
I think Tiffin has a real shot at being this teams kicker.
Bernie19Kosar - May 18, 2010
He certainly looked good in college. Great accuracy
Kimble_79 - May 18, 2010
Oh, swing and a miss buddy.
You suck at predictions.
SpecialBrownie - May 18, 2010
I believe this will be Dawson’s second hold-out.
Add in that he missed 5 games last season with that, and I have no issue with bringing in a new kicker.
Bernie19Kosar - May 18, 2010
Not what I meant.
He just got cut.
SpecialBrownie - May 18, 2010
they signed him only to immediately cut him? why?
notthatnoise - May 18, 2010
Because the Browns have signed Shaun Suisham.
Bernie19Kosar - May 18, 2010
Suisham is terrible though
TheRealSlimShady - May 18, 2010
I would prefer a youngster, like Tiffin, myself.
Bernie19Kosar - May 19, 2010
I am willing to trust the coach’s judgment with kickers.
Roger Dorn - May 19, 2010
terrible? he isn’t particularly great but I would say he is at least decent. why is he so terrible (though I do prefer tiffin)
bross09 - May 19, 2010
we shoulda signed Nooge.
jaws. - May 19, 2010
seriously???
what has Nugent EVER done. Look at the kicking stats. Suisham has been a better kicker throughout his career. Noodge had one solid season (his second) then fell off the map.
I bet you, if Nugent wasn’t an OSU guy, you wouldn’t be saying this…Neither one is that superior over the other, though suisham has a bit better stats in every kicking category. The only thing Noodge is good at doing is the easy kicks. after 40 yards, he is pretty bad and after 50 yards, just close your eyes and pray. He is phil dawson without the accuracy.
bross09 - May 19, 2010
Not true.
He was a great singer/songwriter
He has a great show on the outdoor channel
He is very entertaining to watch as well
Kimble_79 - May 19, 2010
THAT nugent? yeah, he is awesome. It is hard to have a bad thing to say about him…
bross09 - May 19, 2010
i dunno, he’s a pretty racist, sexist bigot. he also threatened to shoot the president over health care.
notthatnoise - May 20, 2010
thats true…
I doubt he was being serious about the healthcare thing, but still…
bross09 - May 20, 2010
really? about the president? suprised the secret service didn’t take him out. that is not something to joke about when your as big a celebrity as he is. (not to mention knows how to hunt)
Kimble_79 - May 20, 2010
I was wrong, it wasn’t about health care. it was before the election. he told obama to “suck on [his] machine gun,” while holding an actual machine gun on stage.
http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ted-nugent-threatens-hilary-clinton-barack-obama/11416/
notthatnoise - May 20, 2010
I thought he was a little “off”, but that just proves my point. You can’t say stuff like that.
Kimble_79 - May 20, 2010
Eh, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. I think I have seen some outrageous political commentary of this sort at almost every concert I have ever attended. I am seeing Pearl Jam tomorrow and I expect something of this sort from Vedder.
Roger Dorn - May 20, 2010
I seriously doubt Vedder threatens violence against anyone though.
golanbatrac - May 20, 2010
From wiki:
“The band made news when it was reported that several fans left after Vedder had “impaled” the Bush mask on his mic stand at the band’s Denver, Colorado show."
While not a direct threat, I think Pearl Jam and many other bands have probably done similar things.
Roger Dorn - May 20, 2010
the message there is “I would like to see george bush dead.” not “I am going to use this machine gun that I am holding right now to murder the president myself.” there is a big difference between wishingharm on someone and threatening harm on someone.
notthatnoise - May 20, 2010
It’s the same thing. Trying to get a reaction out of a crowd. Neither is a big deal.
Roger Dorn - May 20, 2010
I’m not saying its a big deal, just trying to show it isn’t particularly hard to find a bad thing to say about him, as was originally posited.
notthatnoise - May 20, 2010
I understand what you mean. I wasn’t implying that he doesn’t have his faults, which he definitely does. I was more just saying it in a joking manner that he is a cool dude who plays good music.

I had a roommate freshman year who LOVED ted nugent.
He was really conservative, he used the N word all the time (after checking to make sure no dark people were around, of course), and he was really in to “being a man” and “hot chicks”. He was bigoted in every way imaginable.
But he had never lifted weights in his life, he hated football and almost all sports, I am pretty sure he got his nails done routinely, he giggled like a schoolgirl, and he wouldn’t drink beer so he drank wine coolers (because of course, being a man means getting drunk). He also refused to stand up and fight me “like a man” after he called me a jap.
That’s my Ted Nugent fan experience.

That’s a pretty good summary of most all Nugent fans.
golanbatrac - May 20, 2010
Oh, you’re of Asian decent?
SpecialBrownie - May 20, 2010
He seems pretty decent to me. Not sure what that has to do with being Asian though?
golanbatrac - May 20, 2010
he was probably referencing how rufio’s roommate called him a “jap”
bross09 - May 20, 2010
bross, just don’t respond to golanbatrac anymore. His subtle jokes are killing you.
gahnki - May 20, 2010
I get it now that I gave it a second look. I thought golan was questioning whether rufio was asian and why it was relevant…I think I misunderstood what he said completely (whether serious or a joke)
bross09 - May 20, 2010
The word decent is not descent. Go back and look at the series of posts now, starting with SB’s.
gahnki - May 20, 2010
Don’t clue him in, I like watching golan dangle the thread over his head.
Roger Dorn - May 20, 2010
That’s cruel, RD. And, I agree, sometimes quite entertaining.
RelapsingDawgCatcher - May 21, 2010
gahnki…no need to be a dick.
did this clue you in as to my understanding of the joke? well if not, I guess I have to say again, I read it again and I understood it.
this is either
a) irrelevant
b) you being a condescending dick.
bross09 - May 21, 2010
Dude he was explaining it to you.
Relax. No need to fly off the handle at the one person who was helping you.
Bernie19Kosar - May 21, 2010
Seriously.
rufio - May 21, 2010
well…I already told him I understood it and the way he said it, it sounded kinda condescending..
bross09 - May 21, 2010
Ahh… as the World of DBN turns.
Villeslgr - May 21, 2010
i think the most hilarious thing about all of this is that you claimed at one point that you were attempting to become an improv comedian, yet you are often the very last person, literally, to get the jokes on here.
that, my friend, is comedy gold.
Dawg Nuts - May 21, 2010
getting a joke on the internet and performing and learning improvisational comedy are pretty unrelated and do not take similar skills.
I get jokes face to face, I just understand a lot and learn a lot from people by their facial expressions and tone, which plays a big factor into improv…
and people also misconstrue improv as “whose line” where they are just constantly making jokes. that is one type, short form, because the scenes are short. I personally like long form which lets you develop a story, characters, and more emotions. it relies less on the (albeit fun) “cheap gags” and more on developing characters on the spot and truly creating scenes out of nothing.
bross09 - May 21, 2010
So what you’re saying is throughout this thread you’ve been developing a story?
Villeslgr - May 21, 2010
good one…
but not really.
I am not as honed as some other people I know. I am not always in improv mode and am rarely in that mode when posting on here.
bross09 - May 21, 2010
Priceless.
danvail - May 21, 2010
Wow.
golanbatrac - May 21, 2010
I was not trying to be a “dick” at all. I was trying to explain it to you because I inferred that you still did not understand after this statement:
The joke had nothing to do with his manner of saying it, it was just a word play.
gahnki - May 21, 2010
yeah…sorry…it felt like the way you said it was condescending. maybe I saw stuff that wasn’t there.
bross09 - May 21, 2010
Sounds like a good one. I feel for you and your freshman year.
Kimble_79 - May 21, 2010
exactly
Villeslgr - May 20, 2010
Two Words: Damn Yankees.
golanbatrac - May 20, 2010
Have you ever watched him?
TheRealSlimShady - May 19, 2010
he isn’t bad. He has some consistency issues but he is not a “terrible” kicker. I would consider him maybe a bit below league average.
bross09 - May 20, 2010
I know this isn’t Browns related, but has anybody here looked at the WVU blog on here (Smoking Musket)? I am very disappointed. Nobody really posts on it and just about every front page image is just beer and scantily clothed women. Doesn’t say much for our fans.
Kimble_79 - May 18, 2010
do you realize what you just complained about?
Dawg Nuts - May 18, 2010
Sorry momentarily lapse of judgment there
Kimble_79 - May 18, 2010
Bet you’re going to the beer free zone in the stadium next year!
BuenosAires_Dawg - May 20, 2010
There are many times in morgantown that I don’t even make into the game. Man, I love tailgating
Kimble_79 - May 20, 2010
I would love to go to a WVU-Louisville game, my only fear is that I wouldn’t make it out alive
Villeslgr - May 20, 2010
Take math flashcards with you.
They wouldn’t dare approach.
Bernie19Kosar - May 20, 2010
I hate you. Go root for PITT
Kimble_79 - May 21, 2010
/sarc
Kimble_79 - May 21, 2010
You would be good coming into Motown, we don’t mess with Louisville fans too much. (If that’s what your referring to) Its the PITT fans we hate
You would also be good coming to Motown if you are meaning that you may not have any memory of what transpired while you were there. The flashes in between are always fun that you can remember. Good stories to tell anyways.
Kimble_79 - May 21, 2010
it took me a minute to sort out which “Motown” you were talking about. I’m feeling slow today.
notthatnoise - May 21, 2010
didn’t really think about people out of the area…pretty much what everyone calls it here in WV
