Browns sign Rosen
-
Mayfield - I hope he throws for 500 yards and 7 touchdowns, and rosen throws 9 interceptions, and zero touchdowns.
For just that one game....
"here we go, Panthers, here we go".
I just don't get that at all. Either you're a Browns fan regardless of how p.o.'d they make you sometimes or you're not. You don't hope the worst for your team ever. Nor do you ever root for a former player you liked to beat them just to prove yourself right that they should not have let him go. That's just not being a true fan IMO. God knows after watching OU & A&M request the clock be running all the time in the second half of a 66-0 OU rout of my Aggies I was thinking Francione is the worst coach in our history. I was fit to be tied. But I never rooted for them to lose to anybody so we could be rid of him. That makes zero sense for a real fan of a team.

You do realize that this entire season is going to be, on this board, a group of Browns fans rooting for the Browns to win fighting with a group of Browns fans openly rooting for the Browns to lose, right?
Have fun, mods.

At the time I enlisted, my knee was doing fine, unless I played football with my friends - then I would not sleep much at night. w-a-a-a. But when your kneecap dislocates - you wish God would let you go unconscious.
which, btw, I was draft exempt in 1970 because of my knee, they sent me home. I enlisted in '73, after leaving college, to have a job to help my family pay all their bills during a very hostile long strike. I wanted to go into the Navy, but the recruiter said I would never pass the physical, the only chance at all, would be the Air Force.
That's interesting... playing backyard football would cause your knee such discomfort that you couldn't sleep at night, but your knee could make it through basic training. Now, I know some don't consider basic training in the Air Force to be very hard, I believe a Poliboard buddy of yours referred to the Air Force as being filled with pansies (or did he say pussies? I don't know, I heard this second-hand) but still, I'm surprised you and your knee could make it through it. Hats off to you!

ok, I actually read this post - my friends would never let me qb. Or wr. I usually blocked on the line, and pass defended/lb. One time, the other team, several of them from another hs, kicked off right to me, laughing. My friends heard they were going to, and said for me to pitch back and block - I didn't have to prove anything to those jerks. I got pissed, hesitated, and took off. My friends were terrified, but I had spent my youth studying Leroy Kelly's every move - I wanted to be a rb and after the second-to-lsat guywho couldn't get to me, I faced the last guy - who played cb for a hs team - so I knew I couldn't juke him so I went up into the air, put my hip into his shoulder, we both slammed to the ground, and I did not fumble the ball when I landed hard on my shoulder. Good times. I was 3' short of a td. Scared I did, but didn't hurt my knee. Fights broke out...etc.
But yes, I was used to putting ice bags on my knee after that kind of activity. I loved the game - it was fun blocking on the line vs bigger guys. I would trap block them best I could, etc, sometimes got bowled over if they guessed right. lol. It was fun.
And in basic, about the 6th week - my knee swelled up badly, and I couldn't really set my heel in, so I faked it. But, one of the our two meanest TI's who was also funny at times - marched next to me a few times and asked me quietly how my knee was. Dammit - they noticed. I lied and said "Sir, fine, sir". I remember he shook his head and gave me the look. Combat boots on a paved track, 1/2 mile, 3/4 mile, 1 mile, my knee was in bad shape.
The rest of the story, nah.

You know the difference between a fairy tale and a war story?
Fairy tale starts out, "Once upon a time....."
War story starts out, "This ain't no shit....."
LOL! Just foolin' with ya! Sometimes when people want to know something of what I was involved with in Vietnam I just preface it with that little ditty. ??

I look at it as 90-95% of the true Cleveland BROWNS fans to root on for our Browns to win despite everything in the past. Remember too winning cures a lot of ills. Openly rooting to lose ? Really this is not 0-16 again....not near that.
And the remaining 5-10% (probably less) eh, we'll deal with them each week. I think maybe 3 or 4 wise guys but they won't be a problem for long...lol. now a 6-11 season and all bets are off ! I do think they might make a WC try, we'll see on that too. A +/- .500 season may also depend on how they do in the first half of the season.
We all absolutely know what has happened up to July 26 and why, it's unknown that is the interesting part. Bet on an 8-9 or 9-8 season is anyone's guess right now. We'll know more September 11, 2022.
GO BROWNS, just win baby.

I end up rooting for all of the cast off former Browns players.
That includes Jarvis Landry, Baker Mayfield, but not Joe Shobert.
I never cheer for the fucking Stoolers or any of their players…ex Browns or not.

I can see Landry a class act, now Baker Reagan Mayfield played tough -but- was a bit cocky at times both off and occasionally on the field.
Game 1 we'll see how much BRM is on target, I'll root for him starting in Game 2. Would love to see him again in the playoffs.

Said it a bunch of times.. Not a Watson fan, but it is what it is... Players come and go, other than the very top players. NFL- Not For Long. Unless you're some kind of Browns geek with a photographic memory, you probably couldn't even name ten Browns players on that team from the 2012 season. I weathered 1-15, and 0-16.. Folks asked me "why don't you dump your season tickets?" They don't understand.
If you're rooting for your team to lose, just because you like a former player? That's just wrong.

I look at it as I'm a Cleveland BROWNS fan not a this guy or. this coach. or this owner fan.
That's like " I'll cancel my tickets, burn my jackets and jerseys and all my memorabilia......everything. that will show them, nah nah, nah."
Like my mother used to say......"don't cut off your nose to spite your face". What will that get you nothing. That's just childish behavior and it gets you nowhere.
I've been a BROWNS, INDIANS, BUCKEYES, NAVY, YSU and. ND with a few others. And of course my point of view.

I'll never forget Ogbo's block on Ray Lewis. Was a thing of beauty. (watch on youtube) I liked him. I thought he was a smart football player. He could do all aspects of the RB position. He wasn't a great player, but he was a pretty good player. He always knew where to go...where he was needed...and accomplished the task. Be it run, catch, find the blitzer....he'd do the job.

I just can't wait for the 2022 BROWNS football season to get started from preseason Game 1.
Get this brutal offseason over and buried for good. Time for us all to take a deep breath and relax.
We've all been through a lot it's just time to move on ! I don't remember any off year in my roughly six plus decades as a Cleveland Browns fan it being so miserable of an offseason. I will apologize to any fans out there if I've been nasty in any way its just been a miserable seven +/- months.
GO BROWNS, can't wait baby !
