cons: beautiful sublime defensive lineman Phil Taylor out for the year
pros: Frostee Rucker, Super Bowl victory

Hungry4 8-8 (brownie), Friday, 3 August 2012 00:41 (twelve years ago)

cons: Browns are in the AFC North, cannot stop the run
pros: half the staff consists of disgraced ex-head coaches that are striving to redeem themselves

Hungry4 8-8 (brownie), Friday, 3 August 2012 00:49 (twelve years ago)

pros: phenomenal uniforms

mookieproof, Friday, 3 August 2012 00:49 (twelve years ago)

cons: the weight of history

Hungry4 8-8 (brownie), Friday, 3 August 2012 00:53 (twelve years ago)

cons: unproven receivers
pros: kosar fathead back in stock

Hungry4 8-8 (brownie), Friday, 3 August 2012 01:01 (twelve years ago)

kosar = poor man's sipe

mookieproof, Friday, 3 August 2012 01:03 (twelve years ago)

cons: right side of the O-Line is sketchy
pros: middle linebacker D'Qwell Jackson turns 25 yard runs into 15 yard gains via his excellent pursuit skills

Hungry4 8-8 (brownie), Friday, 3 August 2012 01:05 (twelve years ago)

lmao your display name... im lovin it!!!

this is pretty brutal -- ozzie is basically the only hof player to make a significant contribution to the brownies in my lifetime

mookieproof, Friday, 3 August 2012 01:21 (twelve years ago)

yeah, ozzie was a shoe-in but tellingly no defensive player for the Browns ever made it into the hall (well no long term player). last time the browns had a HOF defensive player was 1959.

i dunno if this is normal throughout the league

Hungry4 8-8 (brownie), Friday, 3 August 2012 01:33 (twelve years ago)

clay matthews was pretty damn good

i feel like there was another lb alongside him who was also good, but can't recall/care enough to search

mookieproof, Friday, 3 August 2012 02:20 (twelve years ago)

chip banks are u thinking of?

Hungry4 8-8 (brownie), Friday, 3 August 2012 10:43 (twelve years ago)

but yeah, Matthews was a HOF semi-finalist last year, along with Donnie Shell and Steve Atwater so he's in good company and probably should make it. he had 12 sacks in '84! and lol the team went 5-11 that year but was in every game except for two blowouts.

and that's the deal with recent Browns D history, when tight games need a playmaker to turn a loss into a victory they don't show up. this was a sad case and set their defense back years:

HOF semi-finalist last year

*this year

lulz all around tho

Hungry4 8-8 (brownie), Tuesday, 7 August 2012 23:11 (twelve years ago)

welp, LB Chris Gocong is out for the year

He wasn't anything special but the run defense I fear is going to suck again with Philthy Phil Taylor gone for most of the season and the Browns having to rely on a 4th round rookie from Nevada (linebacker U) to take CG's place.

So the Browns have a new a owner and unbelievably some local sports talkers have called for new uniforms. If this happens I will be angrier than Big Dawg at an a la carte restaurant.

Whatever the Browns’ medical staff saw on Richardson’s MRI, they’re worried enough that they’re sending him to see the renowned sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews, who performed arthroscopic surgery on the same knee in February.

browns beat reporter on the trophy:

The barge was heavy and expensive, reportedly created at the cost of $10,000. Alas, the teams stopped handing over the barge after Policy split to build a winery in Napa Valley, Calif., in 2005. It was last seen collecting dust in a broom closet in Browns headquarters.

Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 8 December 2016 18:17 (eight years ago)

I'm cool with 0-16. They shouldn't even try to win until San Fran wins another one. Flopson for Watson? Garbage for Garrett?

Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 8 December 2016 18:47 (eight years ago)

it's always darkest before Deshaun

brownie, Thursday, 8 December 2016 18:57 (eight years ago)

0-16 definitely better than 1-15

I've read Ta-nehisi Coates. (marcos), Thursday, 8 December 2016 19:04 (eight years ago)

that said i wouldve felt better about 0-16 had the indians won the WS

ya idk i mean i guess it's p cool but i care SO little abt football that it doesn't faze me much
from what i understand he took them from really shitty to kinda-eh but then they got shitty again and they sacked him?
how do football coaches work?? was he an ok one or did he deserve to be fired? what's the point of quickly firing someone w/o giving them a chance to build up the team? this confuses me so much
