the two touchdown passes. if the browns can have a deep threat, boy, it opens up so much more of your offense. he ran with his head. he needs to avoid taking hits. he didn't do that in his washington career. it cost him games and eventually his job. he avoided big mistakes. i still think he holds on to the ball too long at times. he's a work in progress. >> again, i don't get typed up what's really important is when it all comes down to this, it's what you can do against the team's number one defense for four quarters in the regular season. that's the only thing that matters. i do think rg3 took a step in the right direction last night. tweet me your thoughts at wkyc. the patriots may want to keep sharp objects away from your star quarterback. >> the second preseason game, he cut himself with a pair of

scissors gate, the story is brady was trying to remove something from his cleat when he sliced open his right thumb. the patriots are calling it an accident. they say he'll be just fine. no nfl investigation where the scissors came from. >> there's so much drama. >> drama, i like to call it. hey, there's more than sometimes families make a six figure investment maureen kyle has more. >> there are two things these olympic athletes have spent a lot of. time training and money. up to six hours a day with a hired coach. then there's the cost of travel and entry into regional, national, and world competition, not the mention the cost of the equipment needed. >> it probably costs 20,000 to 30,000 a year to continue to
