We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes… maybe Heckert doesn’t want him anymore! I say pay the man, he deserves it.

Hillis is a little overrated. He could have played if he really wanted to, whether that players rumor is true who knows.

Strep is a terrible time. It’s so bad I do wish it on my worst enemy.

Schefter likes to start rumours. The guy is a hack.

Let’s say it all together now….TEAM DOCTORS SENT HIM HOME LAST WEEK.

Also, exactly WHICH teammates are doing this wondering….?

And where is that friggin’ genius Joshie McIdiot now? He cut Hollis, for all intents and purposes. What an moron!

Look at all the big money backs this off-season …none besides ap have done anything and this guy is not ap. Buyer beware

Holmgren will not over pay this guy. Garuntee he still has a bitter taste in his mouth from Shaun Alexander. In most cases it seems a RB loses their drive after getting paid. It also looks like Hardesty is playing pretty well right now. I’d trade him for a few picks and make him someone elses problem. Holmgren sure says all the right things in the media though doesn’t he. He will talk the guy up and then break his balls in negotiations behind closed doors.

Man, that Schefter guy really gets around.

He’s either visiting every locker room in the NFL on a weekly basis, or every NFL player has him on speed dial, just in case they feel like gossiping.

Or maybe he has like, ninety friends on Facebook….with twelve more pending.

Maybe it’s a staph infection in his throat or did the Browns finally get their practice facility sanitized.
————————————————

Players, back 3 or 4 YEARS ago, were contracting staph at Cleveland Clinic, not the Browns practice facility. Maybe you should have half a clue what you’re trying to make fun of before you, once again, make yourself look clueless in an attempt to be funny that bombs…

With the infection history of Strep in the Browns training facilities, I am suprised they would even want him around the other players.

This site, and the BS/misleading/blatantly false stories it chooses to run is becoming worse than the National Enquirer.

Yes, I’m sure that after all the positive things that Hillis has said about how much he loves playing for the Browns and the city of Cleveland- and after how much he’s seen that the fans of the team worship him- and being intelligent and humble enough to know that one good year’s performance is not going to suddenly get you paid in the top 10 RBs in the league, he’s gonna have an impromptu hold-out on Sunday during a game. Yes, “Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that there are whispers in the locker room…” -as if Schefter was even *in* the locker room… or as if the players are going to whisper things with that doofus in earshot.

This is about as made-up as it gets. Schefter wants desperately to feel like an insider. The players probably laugh at him when he is in a locker room.

billsfan….no, he hant practiced all week because he was sick, he lost 10 pounds due to it. Not to mention srep is highly contagious.

Get a clue before you open your piehole.

Strep throat is only innocuous to someone who hasn’t had it.

Believe me, it’s death warmed up.

I don’t think you can compare injury’s to being sick. I would much rather play with a hurt body part than, with a fever, strep throat, the flue or any of that B.S.
Hillis was good last year but not great. I think the Browns front office isn’t buying into all the hype around Hillis like Browns fans are.

Look at Desean Jackson. He thought he was getting a big contract this year and the Eagles front office seems to be intelligent enough to see if he can reproduce before they pay him, and he hasn’t. It’s all business.

All the cynics in the world rejoice. It’s the easiest job in the world, next to being a receiver in Peyton Manning’s offense, complaining and bellyaching about someone you either envy or want to emulate. Hillis needn’t justify his decision and choice, his play does that.

My apologies for my spelling…..
I’m not a good typist.
I meant to say…..
The “TEAM” was right in sending him home. You don’t want to infect the whole team!
GO BROWNS!!!

I’ve had step throat twice and both times I had a fever of 105 plus. I have never before or since been that sick so get off him.

Hey Adam, Tony…..Hillis played 3 games with cracked ribs last year.

Which means he shoulda been able to play

I can think of plenty of conditions considered worse that I would want to work with rather than strep – it is horrible.

By: bigdawgy54

bigdawgy54 — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 16:02:56 +0000

Schefter is a piece of……….
Hillis is all class. I believe “him!” If whispers were in the locker room…..it was the Schefter types that perpetrated the talk.
I have had strep throat. It’s not fun and it’s highly contagious. The “TEAM” was right in sending him hope. You don’t want to indect the whole team!
I appreciate the media providing me with quality news. This kind of $$$$ from Scheftner is nothing but garbage reporting!
Hillis should kick his arse!!!

The fact that he is an NFL running back makes it kind of silly to question his toughness.

Additionally, why don’t the Browns just pay him already?!

Under those contract circumstances I could see an injured player worried about re-injury sitting out a game to protect their investment…. but strep throat isn’t exactly an injury that you’d be worried about re-injuring.

Also, as a Browns fan, I watched Hillis play in a lot of pain multiple times last year. Dude is a tank.

He should be bucking for a new contract after last year.

It’s doubtful he’ll get paid after this year when he averages 3.4 YPC at best.

Now Schefter is trting to destroy the Browns.

The Man is as classless as they come, he couldn’t care less about the damage he does with his words, as long as he gets heard.

You’re a real bag of crap, Schefter.
