Bob Wiley will be the breakout star of Hard Knocks with the Browns
If I had to guess, [Bob Wiley] is the guy, in my opinion, that's the most interesting. He's the most funny, gregarious. He's the most seasoned coach on that staff. He kind of looks a little bit like a walrus. And he's just the nicest guy with the most funny jokes. I think people are going to fall in love with him.

Have you ever noticed how theme parks and water parks always have black sidewalks? Yeah, to make you more thirsty so you buy more concessions. Yeah, stay woke. That's like pretzels at a bar.
If you get arrested, you should drop the name of a mid-level officer rather than the President
If you get arrested, you want to drop a name. It's kind of the inverse of what you think it should be. You want to drop the smallest name possible that the guy would recognize. Like you want to drop the name of his slightly superior officer. You don't want to go straight to the top with the president.
Ohio State fans should have learned not to hold rallies before the facts are out from the Penn State / Joe Paterno situation
I feel like we should have learned our lesson with the Joe Paterno rallies. Maybe wait until we figure everything out before you do like an entire impromptu rally at the stadium being like Free Urban Meyer. I can't really wrap my head around these people because I would assume these are the same people that if you bash Urban Meyer on Twitter, they will reply with, wait till all the facts come out. But then they also held an entire rally with none of the facts out.

View profileHue Jackson will be the face of Hard Knocks because players love him and he has a boatload of personality
I think outside of Bob Wiley, I think Hue Jackson will probably be that next guy that becomes the face of the Browns Hard Knocks because he's got a lot of personality. He loves talking off the cuff. He's very passionate. He really loves his players, and he shows it. Players love him.
Not having a stripe on your helmet is a tactical advantage for players during film review
Not having a stripe on your helmet is really to the player's advantage when they're watching film because the coach really has a hard time deciphering where he's looking and if his eyes are in the wrong place. You can tell when you have a stripe, but without a stripe, he can get away with murder.
Players are more ashamed and embarrassed to admit high signing bonuses than low ones in front of the team
The one that I loved the most that was the most humiliating... was when you make [rookies] stand up there and they have to tell you what their signing bonus was... you get like the first round guys like Baker [Mayfield] who's going to go up there and say, you know, 'got a 40 million dollar contract' or something. They're really embarrassed and ashamed because it's the first time in their life that they've made money playing football that they're allowed to admit to.
