Browns sign Kareem Hunt

As for 2019 and beyond, I just don't give that much of a ****. Kareem Hunt realistically plays at most another season and a half of football for us if we don't cut him. Considering the fact that he's a RB, it just doesn't matter that much to me. We can easily find a suitable replacement, if we haven't already in Damien Williams.

What in the **** does CTE have to do with any of it? He's an asshole when he's drunk. That's it.

I guess everybody missed where the SECOND Hunt signed, he went back to the commissioner's exempt list.

It's pretty freaking simple:

HE WASN'T PLAYING AGAIN IN 2018. PERIOD.

He wouldn't have been able to play against the Patriots. He's on the EXEMPT LIST.

And he'll be on the exempt list, which means he can't even report to team facilities, until the NFL finishes their investigation. At that point, it appears he's going to get 4 games for each incident now, so he won't even be able to REPORT until the first of DECEMBER.

This place gets dumber by the minute.

As a human being, I sincerely hope Kareem Hunt is getting the help he needs. Having worked with so many youngsters struggling with the stuff he does, going to Cleveland sure seems like a really bad idea.

Hahaha. Traded? For what, the right to draft Mr. Irrelevant? I would love to listen to that conference call between Veach and the other GMs in the league:

“Okay, gentleman. I have a talented player at probably the easiest position of the starting 22 to replace, available for trade. He’s just been caught on video in an act of violence against a female, which is only at least the 2nd time he’s been linked to acting out violently, and he totally lied to me and the big boss about the entire incident. He’s going to be on the exempt list the rest of this year and God knows how long he will be suspended in 2019. Oh, by the way, he just got out of medical and his testing shows he’s likely to develop CTE in the next couple years, if not sooner. Let’s hear your offers, fellas”

Are you aware of the fact that CTE antibodies can be found in common blood exams ?
Which means you don't have to go out and spill the beans like that. If someone's interested they will take their their steps to evaluate if the player is healthy, mentally and otherwise. You don't buy a player like a pair of shoes.
And are you aware how many players who are positive keep playing and being traded ?
Being positive doesn't mean you are "likely" to develop the disease, it's just a marker.
Let's be honest and face the reality of facts, and how things are dealt with in the NFL, below the surface.
Do you really believe no one would be interested in trading for KHunt for "lying" (besides the "terrible incident" (which is totally irrelevant in this scenario, as we've all seen much worse, and players keep playing) ?

No, I’m not. Can you provide a link and a list of the players who have tested positive for CTE and have been traded?

Legit request.

We won’t have to worry about another K. Hunt incident popping up again. Imagine if they would have released the story after Wild Card weekend.

This all falls on K. Hunt... his actions.. his responsibility...

This has nothing to do with the fact that he may have been traded instead of released.

As far as worrying about incidents...
Some teams don't give a **** about "incidents", get the players back on the rosters after the suspension, and finally use them to win AFCCG and Superbowls (Edelman).
Other teams release top players after incidents (and lose).

After all, it all boils down to how much "desperate" you are to win, and if you are ready to push the boundaries to do it.
You want to establish a "dinasty" like the Pats, you have to act like the Pats.
Wins must come before everyting else, no "ifs" and "buts" there. Then let the rest of the country and the media hate you.
Winning mentality.

When you win multiple superbowls there are be plenty reasons for being hated, and if there are none they will find one, besides not releasing an ill tempered player who got a suspension for brushing a bitch in the butt, who called him a n.....

[Why Not?]

Chiefs running back sets NFL record for most touchdowns in the 4th quarter of a playoff game in the AFCCG, yet half of CP

“We wered’ve won the Super Berl if we still had a gerd running back”

Somehow unaware that Hunt wouldn’t have played a down until at least around November of 2019.

Sammy Watkins was also gone for a majority of that time.

Step 1: kill Kareem Hunt
2. Test his brain for CTE
3. Bring him back to life

If he has CTE we obviously trade him. WHY CANT CLARK HUNT FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT!?

It seems the majority of Browns fans do not like the signing. However, they DO come from a culture of losing and already have a good feature back and depth, so it's probably easy for these folks to ride the mythical high horse.

Dorsey pulls a major coup for these tards and they just sit there and bitch. Sounds about right for that dumbassed fan base.

Not sure what's more amusing here:
a. the notion that there's some correlation between a team's recent success and their fanbase's acceptance of signing Kareem Hunt
OR
b. that you really, deeply believe one exists

I stated that their culture prior to Dorsey is a losing culture, and had been for far longer than the Chiefs. The point is that the fans in those tweets clearly don't understand what it takes to have a winning franchise, similar in many ways to some Chiefs fans. If they can't accept a talent like Hunt on a sweetheart deal, then they are in fact too stupid to appreciate what has been tossed in their lap, and should probably pull their "factory of sadness" T-shirts out of the closet, and wear them loud and proud.

This isn't war, this isn't life or death either, it's a professional game. And the purpose of a professional game is to win, NOT impart life-lessons to players, fans, or their little kids either. **** that shit. Learn that shit from Mom and Dad like you're supposed to because Kareem Hunt didn't go to college to become a ****ing Kindergarten teacher.

By that blanket standard, if Tyreek Hill abused his pregnant wife again, we should welcome him back with open arms because he's a talented WR. We should celebrate the Patriots and their ingenuity in cheating. We should applaud the McGwires and Sosas of the baseball world who gave us the steroid era because they too understood that winning is the only thing that matters.

I'm glad the bulk of the universe does not subscribe to your worldview or it would make for a dark picture of humanity.
