So even in the 80s, a piece of paper saying you have the time and money to waste four years of your life didn’t mean you were smarter than anyone else? The more you know. 

I don't know about that, but I'm sure it didn't make them any better at football.

Also, college was way cheaper and more valuable back then.

I forgot who pointed it out on Twitter but it was that for all the talk of the Ravens' organizational excellence under their 15th-year coach or whatever, the team on the field is a bunch of certified dum-dums when it matters most. IQ leaks all over the place here, I guess.

In the early 80s, my buddies and I were watching a Browns game and one of the announcers said that the Browns had the most college graduates of any team in the NFL. It was something like 80% of the team. We thought it was really cool that the Browns were "smarter" than all the other teams. All those degrees didn't do all on the field, but Browns fans will take any win they can get.

This is why I call the Ravens the old Browns still, the new Browns (1999-present) have nothing in common except name, logo and colors.

I much prefer the old Browns to the new version. We lost our team and the fans somehow lost 20 football IQ points in the process.

But the Technically Not Expansion Browns was the best I could come up with for the change from futility to crapping the bed.

The Browns weren't team futility before they moved to Baltimore. In the Super Bowl era through the move in 1995, they made the playoffs in '67, '68, '69, '71, '72, '80, '82, '85, '86, '87, '88, '89, and '94., and they only had nine losing seasons in that span. They made the conference championship game in '68, '69, '86, '87, and '89. Point being, the Browns are not a good example of being awful forever before they achieved "crapping the bed" level. They'd been crapping the bed all along which might be even worse.

For those old enough...

This is not a knock against you or your point, but why is it that we automatically give young people a pass on not knowing sports history? It wouldn't kill them to learn that Houston had a much worse collapse in the 1992 playoffs than the Lions did yesterday. Or that the Browns existed and were breaking the hearts of their fans in the playoffs well before 1999. If we make a reference that was "before their time" they can look it up and learn something.

This concludes my get off my lawn speech.

Went into the weekend 10-0 in playoff picks. Thanks to the Lions, I'm now 11-1.

Lions fans were sick of living like Browns fans. Now they have a taste of what it's like to be a Vikings fan.

Been a Bears fan basically my whole life, also been a Packers fan since middle school. 

That's like being an Ohio State fan and a Michigan fan.

Lions second half highlights...

On one hand, they’d have lost in the first round if Campbell wasn’t aggressive on fourth down calls and people only remember the times it backfires.  That said, those decisions really bit them in the ass tonight. But the dumbest decision, imo, was running on that third down and wasting a timeout. 

The issue I have with Campbell going for it on 4th down is he didn't need to do it with a 24-10 lead. This isn't week seven against the Vikings. You're playing in the NFC Championship game, take every point you can get. Especially when you have a 14 point lead.

Accurate.

Well if they lose today it will be the 12th time. Most by any team. 

So they've lost 11 and won 7 so far? Wow.

Chiefs should’ve taken the points

Agreed.  You have to take the points off a turnover.

I hate old Scooby-Doo reruns. The ones with the Harlem Globetrotters are OK, but the rest of them.

Oh, for 's sake, are you really going to the mats over a joke post? 

I'm probably ruining my 10-0 start with these picks, but I gotta follow my gut.

Kansas City vs. Baltimore
