There ya go, Ravens boy.
Remember Cleveland, that Lombardi up in Baltimore should be sitting in your case right now. That's fact.

But keep on admiring your "sister city" if you wish.

No, truly, we don't see it that way. We know it is the whole butterfly effect in operation. It is not a given that if Modell had never attempted to move that it would have been the Browns winning that title. There are just too many "What ifs" to really think like that.

This is not to exonerate Baltimore or their fans or Modell or the cast of idiots involved in that venture, but we really don't sit around thinking "that should have been ours".

HEY! Did the Browns move?

If I made a Sound of Thunder reference, it was totally inadvertent. Wasn't Sound of Thunder that Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman NASCAR movie?

I take your point. That defense was so good in 2000, though, there's a good chance that team wins it all in whatever town it's located. Best to move on and support the team you have now. Nor am I suggesting you do anything else.
For that Ravens visitor though, remember, while Baltimore was working to take Cleveland's team, Dan Rooney was voting against it. And working to bring back football to Cleveland. I think Baltimore boy should keep that in mind before he tries to brag about his warm feelings and sympathy for Cleveland.

I guess if we wanted to engage in "What Ifs" What if Modell had appointed Ozzie Newsome to run his franchise a couple of years before he decided to "move", and what if you had the combination of Newsome and Bill Belichick operating the Browns together?

That is what we could have had I guess. Two of the current best operators in the NFL working together.

Not even that however could have probably saved Modell from his own financial ineptitude.

She's a perfect match for him.

I bet she just bought that shirt a week ago to. For some reason all the squeeler gear looks used even though it's still sitting on the rack at K-Mart. I wonder why that is?

Now post up the actual chick. You guys also need a picture overhaul. The same ones with the same awful photochops aren't cutting it anymore.

Sound of Thunder was a Ray Bradbury short story. I believe it's the origin of the "butterfly effect" concept.

Sound of Thunder is a noise heard by defensive backs when they are the only thing between Peyton Hillis runnning at full speed and their own goaline.

Is it just me or is the strangest thing in this pic the 2 liter of vanilla coke. It is also important to point out that this actually qualifies as a girl in Shitsburgh.

"Pissing on your team" in the 50s? Son, you really need a history lesson. I personally know a ton of old timers who were there though the bad years, all the way, when it wasn't easy (unlike being a Colts, Browns or Packers fan with all that success). Of course, only the Colts and Packers "built" the NFL, Art Rooney had nothing to do with that huh? Nah. Again, you really need a reality lesson.
I really don't understand a Ravens fans coming onto a Cleveland board looking for hugs. I REALLY don't understand any Brownie fan who would give it to him. But hey, not my call, whatever.

Well Joe look at it like this- you have a huge game today- and your flaming with a RAVENS fan, on a BROWNS board. So maybe it's why your name got changed (and not by me).

And I'll just say this- with 15 years of perspective, the blame doesn't so much lay on the football fans of Baltimore or the state of Maryland- It lies solely on the shoulders of one Arthur B Modell- you know- the jackass who managed to bankrupt a gold mine. The turd who thought by taking Maryland's bribe he could pass the team down to his cigar chompin' kid. And spread some of that blame around to the NFL- like realistically, who deserved an expansion franchise more Baltimore, or Jacksonville? Yeah that's the same Jaguars that I'll put a C note on won't be playing in Florida 10 years hence.

When are you guys going to realize that this is not a Browns board, it's a Steeler hate board!
You all deny it but it's plain as plain can be!

1. The most active threads are always about the Steelers or their fans!

2. The owners and mods delete posts which speak truth about the Browns organization!

3. The owners and mods change posts written by Steeler fans!

4. The owners and mods change the user name of Steeler fans!

5. Young, uneducated (football education) Browns fans are encouraged to spew Steeler hatred and believe in a Browns history that hasn't existed for nearly 50 years!

This is a Steeler hate board, plain and simple!

Ya know the mods really need to make it so that anytime the cuss word steeler/steelers/steeler's is detected on the board it changes to stoolers or something else appropriate like morons or inbreeds..

The very essence of the name is repulsive and vulgar..
