I think most Lewis owners grimmace a little when reading that. You never want a team geared up to shut your guy down. But, I've got Heap too so if they overplay Lewis then my boy Heap will be wide open all day.

Same here. Hopefully he "steps up" to the challenge.

I own Lewis and love the fact that he's trashin'. Of course, it could bite him in the ### this week. But I love players who boast. It shows their confidence in themselves and anyone who has played sports knows that self-confidence can really help performance. I look for big things from Jamal this season, maybe not this week now, but for the rest of the year.It reminds me of early in the 2001 season, when another Jamal (Anderson) was coming back from his first blown knee. I read stories how he got into fist fights with players on defence because who was running over them and then letting them know about it. I liked what I read traded for him and after 3 weeks into the 2001 season, Anderson was in the top 3 for fantasy RBs in our league -- then he blew out his knee again. Maybe its just a Jamal thing. Jamal: Jaw 'em all. ??? Hmmm.

Michael Jordan used to do that all the time. Sapp does it. many do it. But how many can back it up. I wouldn't be benching Jamal over this but I honestly don't like it.

Jamal always has great, if not good games against Cleveland. And considering how bad the Brown D-Line was against Edge ,(and before I get flammed, I am not saying that Lewis=Edge , but he is a top 12 back) he should get 80yds rushing/30yrds receiving and 2 td.We'll see tomorrow

This breaks my tie on starting him or Dillon. I will start Jamal without even worrying about it now. He won't break the single game record, but he will put up some above solid numbers. Bank on it.
1st quarter he won't get much, but the CLE LBs will wear themselves out trying to prove him wrong. Then he'll go off.

Your number of posts speaks volumes, no way in hell he scores twice and nets 100+ total yardsJamal always has great, if not good games against Cleveland. And considering how bad the Brown D-Line was against Portis ,(and before I get flammed, I am not saying that Lewis=Porits, but he is a top 12 back) he should get 80yds rushing/30yrds receiving and 2 td.We'll see tomorrow
Did you pay any attention to the Browns shutting down the Colts last week? Cleveland's defense is for real and the Ravens are starting a rookie QB. All the Browns have to do is stop Lewis and they win, Lewis ain't Priest Holmes, he'll suck tomorrow.

The fact that this got out into the public - from a phone conversation or wherever - is going to give the Browns that much more fire under their ###es to stop him. They have some talent and now they're ticked. I feel a little more confident in a) picking the Browns to win and b) starting TT this week, 'cause the ground game isn't going to be so great for Lewis this week. 
Personally, I think at the pro level the whole thing about "Bulletin Board Fodder" is overblown. It may work at the college level...but does anyone really "take the day off" if they're up against a nice and polite player? The Browns defense are going to try hard regardless of what Jamal says or does.This is a non-factor in my book. I've got him starting and I think he'll have a good game, or he won't...whether he shoots off his mouth or doesn't. <====How's THAT for conviction!I think based on his past successes, I'm looking for well over 100 yards and minimum 1 if not 2 or 3 TDs.Sensei

You may be thinking of the Bengals defense... and if that were the case, no one would be worried about Jamal's performance.Jamal always has great, if not good games against Cleveland. And considering how bad the Brown D-Line was against Portis ,(and before I get flammed, I am not saying that Lewis=Porits, but he is a top 12 back) he should get 80yds rushing/30yrds receiving and 2 td.We'll see tomorrow

And this was after the three exchanged 5 minutes of "Whassuuuuuuuup!"Seriously - who talks trash on a 3-way phone call with opponents? You're supposed to talk trash to the female sideline reporter immediately before or during the game. It's a no-lose situation: if you don't come through its chalked up to gametime enthusiasm and dropped. If you do shine, then they play it on SportCenter ad nauseum long after your opponent can get fired up over it. Jamal put himself in a no-win situation here. I think I'll have Warren Sapp speak to him. I'll put in a 3-way call.

This must be a young people's thing. Where I come from, that's just considered poor sportsmanship.

I don't happen to agree with him, but what the f$*@ does his number of posts have to do with anything? Lots of people lurk in here. It doesn't mean they're morons.Your number of posts speaks volumes, no way in hell he scores twice and nets 100+ total yardsJamal always has great, if not good games against Cleveland.

Exactly. It's not the number of posts, it's number of smileys you use in them.I don't happen to agree with him, but what the f$*@ does his number of posts have to do with anything? Lots of people lurk in here. It doesn't mean they're morons.
No, its not a young person's thing. Muhammad Ali would mouth off all the time. He became arguably the WORLD'S favorite athlete. Far more people like a mouthy athlete than a guy that is polite, except if that athlete becomes a miserable failure. Always have, always will.This must be a young people's thing. Where I come from, that's just considered poor sportsmanship.

Well then, those people are just wrong. And Ali is one of my least favorite athletes for that very reason.No, its not a young person's thing. Muhammad Ali would mouth off all the time.

And he's a much better runner in the 2nd half. I'd say say it was a lock if he would have had 200+ at the half.

Clearly mouthing off hurt him. He'd be over 250 by now if he didn't fire up that defense!
