    So to the Tim Tebow sympathizers (CLW) Champ Bailey was recently asked about how it was like practicing against him.

    The coaches had to tell the defense to give the offense an extra yard or two so Tebow could gain more confidence

    I read that yesterday, didn't surprise me

    Wondered at what point he gained confidence against Pittsburgh back in 2011 while he had the best game of his NFL career against them...still can't believe that

    I remember when ESPN blew their load on the unveiling of this.

    I hope that story catches on at Deadspin or somewhere else nationally just so more people can laugh at ESPN.

    Actually, the old stat is a Passer Rating. You don't have to be a QB to have one, you have to throw a pass.

    That said, ESPN and their QBR are BULLSHIT.

    I don't care for the QBR either since it's subjective. I want a plug and play formula. I wouldn't mind seeing rushing totals added to the formula and sacks taken but it should be done in a math type way where it's not just an opinion. You should run a regression analysis on season stats and use those numbers to predict wins. It's so hard though since football is the ultimate team game and the talent around you dictates so much. Either way if you come up with a new formula I want to see a detailed analysis done behind it.

    NFL: Browns' Mike Pettine unsure if Johnny Manziel starts Monday after video of QB partying arises; it's "disappointing".

    No start for you Johnny Football. If this was anyone but the Browns or Cowboys, I might feel some sympathy. Since it is the Browns. HA HA!

    Almost forgot. He pulled a double FU to Ohio last weekend.

    I feel for Pettine. He must just be losing his mind with this guy. I am pulling for McCown however. He has played very well in his last handful of games.

    It is a huge double standard that Manziel gets in trouble for legally partying on his bye week (although he shouldn't as an addict) while Greg Hardy gets praised by JJ. If Manziel was more talented they wouldn't have done a thing. Pettine is so fired though.

    What a dumbass. I think this likely played into the reason to send his ass to the bench as the #3 QB. Nothing like proving yourself completely entirely untrustworthy by lying to your coach's face and even telling your friends to lie to help cover your ass.

    Deadspin has a report that he asked his friends to lie to the Browns about the party. I haven't read it but someone linked the article on Twitter.

    He's a worthless POS. I'm so happy it was Cleveland that was stupid enough to take a chance on him.

    Cleveland's Wheel of Failure just keeps on rolling.

    Yep, I'm hearing the same thing from Fox Sports and ESPN. Asked and told his friends to lie for him and try and further cover his ass.

    He's gotta be done in Cleveland after this season. If not, then this must be his very last chance. Pettine can't even trust him to own up to crap now. He's just gonna try and lie his way through like he's still a frat boy back in college.

    He clearly still wants to live the rich boy party life, even after all the promises he's made to the Browns throughout the year and the trip to rehab, etc, and now he's graduated to lying to the faces of his coaches and trying to bolster his lie by dragging his friends into the lie. How can Pettine, or any other coaching staff trust him after everything these last two years?

    I tell students all the time, tell the truth and take your L. Administrators already know the truth before asking questions. They only ask to see if they can compound the punishment.
