If you read the story, you'll see that the AP made the same mistake in, I think, the second paragraph and the headline writer just followed along! The online version has corrected both.

After watching Michigan last night I think THE GAME will be a doozie with a slight edge to Michigan the way things stand right now. Last week I watched part of the GA-Clemson and to me it still seems the Bucks are a bit (relatively) slow compared to all three of the aforementioned teams. Hopefully I'm a bit overcritical. Time will tell.

I tend to agree. The Bucks are a bit overrated, I believe. Time will tell.

I think I would put them ahead of Michigan personally ... but there's no way they can beat one of the big SEC teams (Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, Clemson, even LSU) at this point.

Awful lot of fans disguised as seats at the Browns game.

I meant in more of the out and about sense. I worked with a couple of Bengals fans for years and didn't know it until that first season they were above average a few years back. Before that they'd just clam up anytime anyone talked about football.

Mike Lombardi is a complete idiot. I said it the day he was hired, I said it before he was hired, and this reinforces it in staggeringly moronic fashion.

This trade does not make Cleveland better today, tomorrow, or into the future. If I were the owner of the Browns and my GM asked me to sign off on it, I'd void the trade and then throw Lombardi's sorry ass out onto the street.

Unbelievably stupid. I have no words for this outside of that.

The Colts' 1st round pick.

In other words, this is like the Jackets trading Ryan Murray to Toronto for their 1st round pick.

It's more like Mike Milbury trading his NHL-ready top goalie prospect to the Panthers, then needing to waste his 1st-rounder on a guy to replace who he just traded.

Or like trading Geoff Sanderson as part of a deal to get Jason Chimera, whose maximum upside was to be a poor man's Geoff Sanderson.

Awful Awful trade. This is going to really hurt the fanbase I think. You can't mismanage assets this badly and not suffer repercussions.

Just mind boggling. The only thing I can think of is this is there way to tank for Manziel or Bridgewater or whoever they deem the best quarterback.

The Browns would draft Manziel wouldn't they? As talented as he is, he will never make it in the NFL unless he figures out how to play well with others.

Mike Lombardi is making the decisions. And the last QB he drafted (#1 overall, no less) was this guy.

You can also see his coaching hire right there, looking like a clueless jackass with a visor.

He couldn't even draft good cheerleaders.
