CLEVELAND BROWN

fair and balanced :)

i like the abstraction of a color name - wouldve gone w/aqua tho

the thing is that they are not actually named after the color brown, unfortunately.

to me they are tho i mean it makes perfect sense like how their uniforms are orange

I'm just talking about the color, not the team. But you can talk about the team. Or the color. Or whatever.

xpost -- except Family Guy

yeah, they should be more committed to the Brown. all-brown unis.

brown is like poop its like a ups truck and its like poop

yeah i mean their helmets aren't even brown, who told them that orange is brown

Does a 'Yes' vote mean OTM?

its like carrot bits in poop only mostly carrots

Cleveland - like UPS they rarely deliver
Cleveland - like poop, they are poop

i wish they had chosen the name because of the color brown and the orange uniforms because of the color brown. it's all so awesomely oblique.

i like how they dont have a logo - thats sort of tough - like their logo is covered in poop

i am sort of in love with Aasif Mandvi, but he needs to shave that soul patch.

I mean if the redskins have a big american indian head I dunno why the browns can't have like a guru (Sanskrit: गुरु, Bengali: গুরু)

a guru

Other teams get coaches and players, but the Browns get elves and gurus.

if the browns could just embrace their team identity and play an esoteric, enlightened style of football, with the intense conviction that requires, I think you'd see a big change in the fortunes of that organization.

I'd be happy if they'd just embrace the opposing quarterback while he's trying to complete a pass.

can I get a amen

BROWWWWWNNNNN MANI PADME HUMMMM

the other thing wrong with aasif mandvi being the Browns' mascot is i get the distinct vibe he is Canadian in which case he should keep his dirty mitts off our American football >:(

okay never mind he's totally not Canadian.

a friend of mine once referred to "doin the brown downtown" which i don't think has anything to do with football but whatever

On Broadway Mandvi appeared as Ali Hakim in the 2002 revival of Oklahoma! directed by Trevor Nunn.

!!!

From my sources on Broadway he's up for the starring role in McNabb!.

More reasons to be proud of brown:

i resent all this successful indians

As a proud Jewish-American, I can’t help but think that only a short time ago they would have put a Jewish person in charge of this operation. I think we may look back on this week as the time when Indian-Americans, widely dubbed the “new Jews” for a long time now, fully took their place in the sun.

What this country needs are nu-Kosars!

YESSSSS

an army of them, under my commmand

The Shahab-5/Kosar is expected to have a range of 3,500-3,750 and 4,000-4,300 kilometers with a 1,000-750 kilogram warhead. Kosar means-Stream of eternal life in paradise.

you should just animate your fatheads like the brooms in fantasia

done and done

omg

omg

wait are they talking about the Tamil as in the Tamil Tigers, the precursor to the Cincinnati Bengals?

yeah, something like that. I mean it's a safe bet if the Kosar went on a tear through the subcontinent for a few centuries they probably ran into some tigers sharing the neighborhood

dude's with the cowboys now, rip

Browns fan for life over here. I'm going as a Cleveland Browns fan for Halloween. I've got my Couch Holcomb Garcia Dilfer Frye Anderson Quinn jersey and my monster Browns cowboy hat and my dogbone. Awesome!

Lerner is aware of the response and said in an e-mail that he understand the fans’ frustration.

“On the grounds of frustration and irritation with performance, then that’s the medicine I (we) are going to take, and I accept that,” he said. “The goal this year was to rebuild the culture at the Browns. We felt at the end of last year that we lacked any overall philosophy, approach or direction regarding recruiting, drafting, coaching, preparation or training. As a result, each season was feeling like starting over and 4-12 following 10-6 felt painfully not all that surprising.”

Lerner added the team remains open to feedback and support to help the Browns improve.

guys THIS IS OUR TIME

I was just wondering this afternoon why all the heat is on the Mangina and not the GM, and ESPN just now reported that Kokinis is out.

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/DMN-Kokinis-never-had-a-chance.html

“The Secret,” for all his lack of communication skills, apparently can sell himself. He sold the Jets and his good friend, general manager Mike Tannenbaum, on the fact he was a bright young coordinator and a budding star when the reality was, at the time, Mangini was removed from his defensive coordinator responsibilities while he was in New England.

The Patriots under Mangini in 2005 gave up too many big plays down the field and were so poorly synchronized that head coach Bill Belichick was forced to take over the defense in mid-stream. Every time Mangini was given more responsibility in New England, he was not successful. Conversely, every time Josh McDaniels’ role was increased, he kept getting more and more successful. However, in spite of Mangini’s bad year, he was rewarded with a head coaching job based on Tannenbaum’s recommendation. Now, is that being lucky? (And the Browns never considered McDaniels for the job, so clearly, the advice and counsel around Lerner is not of the highest professional football quality.)

3. A recommendation by Mangini that Kokinis be his general manager and that Erin O’Brien be employed somewhere in the organization — after everyone at the Jets warned the Browns not to allow Mangini to make that move. O’Brien is the Manginis’ former babysitter and a friend of his wife Julie. Both Kokinis and O’Brien are now gone.

Wow at the babysitter thing.

5. An offense so abysmal that it shows no hope of ever scoring.

New Orleans D has more TD's than the Cleveland offense

Lerner met with the two dudes who were organizing the boycott thing. They appeared on a local talk show after their meeting. If you can stand local sports talk-

(it's dawg pound mike and mobile dawg)

http://i38.tinypic.com/2lktbn4.gif

local sports talk is like a minor vice of mine. ima give that a listen later~

look at that sad little dude

"Pat Bowlen would have told you to go to hell."

That is the funniest quote of that podcast with the fans who met with Lerner.

http://www.stationcaster.com/stations/wknr/?d=AM#

Callers to the Browns post game show sound like the saddest people in the world.

I don't really follow the Browns but I keep seeing these stories about Delhomme being a shoe-in for the starting spot and I just had to say how sorry I am. I hope Holmgren knows wtf he's doing.

Browns fans are so shell shocked and emotionally exhausted that Holmgren could start Joe Thomas at QB and we'd agree with it.
