Which poses the question...which is more humiliating....Steelers losing to the Browns or Browns losing to the Lions?

As if losing to the Raiders is really a true badge of honor...

btw, that was NOT a TD.
The BALL has to CROSS the goal line ........ IN the field of play.

But thats OK, Browns would have won anyways, Steeler's were not even in the same city.

He was a terrible GM.

He USE to be a very good announcer, BEFORE he became the worst GM in history.

Excellent idea! It'll be like Kick a Ginger day, only better! Genius!

How many years left on Cribbs contract ?
Better enjoy him while you can.

He's so absurdly underpaid he can't afford to enjoy them.

Um, Millen already corrected himself to say it didn't have to cross the goal-line. As long as the player is in a running motion and not diving, he doesn't have to extend the ball over the goal-line. Since his feet tip-toed in, that was good enough. The Ref's reviewed it and came to the same conclusion.

I would really like to see the rules book where it states that the ball does NOT have to cross the goal line in play.

I trust the Browns will redo his contract at the end of this year.

Cribbs was a walk-on, undrafted signee a few years ago. The Browns took a chance on him by signing him for a 5 year deal at apx. $600,000 a year. Now, he's outperformed his contract based on what others around the league are getting.

BTW, Cribbs was asked about his contract by Deion Sanders in a post game interview on the NFL Network. His response got a standing ovation from the crew. This guy is stand-up in every sense. He goes about things the right way and everything you'd want in a player.....

Like I said, the announcers explained that if the guy is upright and running forward, the ball doesn't have to cross as long as his feet get over, which they did.
