Steelers at Browns - Game Thread
I see two exciting possibilities for this meat-sock of a suckfest:
1. Steelers lose.
2. Browns fail so completely they back a dump truck full of money to Mike Holmgren's house.

I'm curious
where did you pick up writing with so many ellipses? Not criticizing, just notice the trend among FG members and wonder its origin and significance.

I'm lazy with grammar sometimes
So ellipses bail me out.
ME! BANE!

I notice people will put an ellipsis where no punctuation is needed
I think the modern definition of an ellipsis is a pause for thinking rather than omitted words.

I will root against them no matter what.
Only in the last Super Bowl was I ambivalent. I just didn’t watch. My reasons to root aganst the Steelers are not limited to the debacle in XL. I had loathe them because they are a bandwagon team, and I have to see their ugly paraphernalia every time I turn around. I loathe them because Roffles is lauded as being much better than he actually is, that he still was the Qb who won two super bowls even though he was completely inept in one and mediocre on the other. Because Hine Woad is a dirty player who’s smile makes me want to murder. I loathe the grossly overrated Santonio Holmes, who is the Steelers’ version of Deion Branch. Super Bowl MVP one moment, invisible the next. And we can’t forget their secondary, probably the dirtiest set of defensive backs in the league. Because “Stillers” is stupid.
So yeah, I will root against them, no matter what.

It's probably more ration to credit DeHaven
but it looked Knapp designed. It looked like the trick plays Seattle have run since Knapp became Seattle’s coordinator.
by John Morgan on Dec 10, 2009 6:43 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I can see that.
It is an offensive play, so that could be Knapp. I’m sure every team has a fake punt somewhere in their playbook, so without a coach coming out and saying who designed it, who knows.
It was awesome, though.
