    Did you know that in the near future all Clevelanders will grow eyes on the back of their pinheads to make looking backwards easier?

    Anthropologists are already calling the result of this future evolution...Homo Gipperman.

    I get it. The Bengals have no history worth looking back on. Nevertheless, though many of my football history lessons certainly do involve my team, the Browns, I do give vast amounts of time and space to the history of the rest of the league. A true fan has an interest in the history of the league. I am just sorry for you that the Bengals and their fans have had little or no room to participate.

    No, you didn't get it. But then again you never do.

    The Bengals have a present and a future. They've been to the playoffs in 3 of the last 4 years and it's a good bet they'll get there again this season. And who knows, if things fall in their favor they might even make it to their 3rd Super Bowl, a game no Brown team has ever qualified for.

    As for Cleveland, beaten down fans like Zombo have already written off this season and are now clamoring for the team to start a backup QB soley because that journeyman player might be a better mentor for whatever 30-year old rookie you'll draft next year.

  • Fucking cintucky fans. What hill did this dumb ass crawl from under. Took him 10 years to find his way back.

    Stop it.

    Your history lessons are just propoganda spewed in an attempt to convince readers that the Browns have a history worth remembering. The truth of the matter is they have no present and not much hope of a future. Further, you like to wax poetic about a glorious past while conveniently forgetting how the Browns fired the most legendary figure in it's history. Nor have you ever said much about the fact that every owner the Browns have ever had were overleveraged crooks, from Marty McBride and Art Modell, both of whom were rumored to be linked with organized crime, to the hillbilly business cheat who own the current team. In fact, the most honest man to ever own the Browns made his fortune charging obscene amounts of interest on credit card debt. To be fair, it's perfectly legal, but most things that exploit the poor are legal.

    Truth is, none of you give a rats ass about who owns the franchise, then or now, despite the sad fact that incompetent ownership forced Paul Brown to Cincy, forced the real Browns to relocate to Baltimore, and eventually opened the door for rebate cheat Truck Stop Jimmy, the Browns most recent non-playing embarrassment.

    As for the pinhead known as Furnier, he's simply a fan who conveniently symbolizes the stupidity, dishonesty, and random dipshittedness of the entire Brownie nation. His unwillingness to pay off even inexpensive debts of honor are the reasons he's been personally cursed to live a life of desperate poverty in some double-wide trailer in Port Clinton or some other obscure shithole. But bigger picture, the unwillingness of all pinheaded Brownie fans to come to grips with thier own morally bankrupt history is reason enough for your current curse to be both justified and damn funny.

    That said, happy birthday, pinhead.

    Relax, I'm not staying very long.

    All of you suicidal pinheads are far too depressing.

    Worse, you're all still spewing the same shit that was leaking from your mouths ten years ago.

    Worse still, we both know it's the same shit you'll still be spewing ten years from now.

    Well, that is a theory. Right now they have the same record as the Browns....with no guarantee that they will be as good as you think they will be.

    And who knows, if things fall in their favor they might even make it to their 3rd Super Bowl, a game no Brown team has ever qualified for.

    That is as speculative as saying if things fall the Browns way, then they will make that first Super Bowl. Hell, right now I think the chances are probably about equal. The difference is that Northeast Ohio has those 13 titles....and another 5 or 6 lost title games. to look back on.

    As for Cleveland, beaten down fans like Zombo have already written off this season and are now clamoring for the team to start a backup QB soley because that journeyman player mightl be a better mentor for whatever 30-year old rookie you'll draft next year.

    He is just commiserating over another opening game lost. What Z forgets is that the Browns are in first place in the division. He will be better sooner than later.

    Well, they DO have a history worth remembering. It is something we have and something you ain't go.

    Your spew is just propaganda in an attempt not to remind yourself that you have NO history worth remembering.

    The truth of the matter is they have no present and not much hope of a future.

    They have a decent shot for the present...they just lost one fucking game....and their future is every bit as bright as every other team in this division.

    Further, you like to wax poetic about a glorious past while conveniently forgetting how the Browns fired the most legendary figure in it's history.

    What on earth makes you think I have forgotten about it? I give that action the very same treatment I give any other historical moment in Browns history.

    The fact that you may have missed any comment I may have made about that simply means you are not around here. That is your problem, not mine.

To be fair, it's perfectly legal, but most things that exploit the poor are legal.

    Again, you ain't fucking been around. I, and others here have commented to a great extent on just those subjects. Go back and dig up those threads if you want.

    You say you haven't been on here for 10 years...crying in your beer over a lost bottle of booze that whole time.

    Why don't you go read the last 10 years of commentary before you tell us what we have and have not talked about here.

    Take your time.

    Truth is, none of you give a rats ass about who owns the franchise, then or now, despite the sad fact that incompetent ownership forced Paul Brown to Cincy, forced the real Browns to relocate to Baltimore, and eventually opened the door for rebate cheat Truck Stop Jimmy, the Browns most recent non-playing embarrassment.

    No, I think we give a rat's ass to a point: We want the team to win and when they don't, we get pissed. Again, go back, read all the threads about Randy Lerner. It will give you some perspective. I am sure you would rather talk out of your ass....but when you do that you look to just be a talking ass.

    As for the pinhead known as Furnier, he's simply a fan who conveniently symbolizes the stupidity, dishonesty, and random dipshittedness of the entire Brownie nation.

    That said, happy birthday, pinhead.

    I suspect actually that Furnier simply has the same pentient for doing what his namesake sings about: torturing little flies. If you have been wondering what that pain in your gut has been the last ten years, it is not your stomachache in yearning for that bottle of hooch, it is Furniers pin planted squarely in your torso. You didn't know he was a lepidopterist.

    True, but expecting the Bengals to repeat something they've done 3 out of the last 4 years doesn't require nearly as much theoretical bullshit as this boards delusional ranting about how a perrenial last place team is suddenly going to win the division crown, especially when most of your desired improvement has to come from Jethro Bob Weeden.

    @the-gipper said:

    He'll be better sooner than later because it won't take long for most of you to accept your fate, which I'm guessing will be no different than it's been over the last 14 or 15 years. Hell, Zombo already seems close to being in full "wait till next year" mode.

    Let's put it this way....if the Browns are not ready for prime time...and they may not be, I would rather have to begrudgeingly bite the bullet and have the Bengals prevail in the division over the Ravens and Steelers.

    Memories have their place, but you keep forgetting how many Brownie fans don't share your mostly forgotten past. All the pinheaded pups have known is a prolonged history of inept play and corrupt ownership.

    If everything goes your way I'm guessing you'll climb out of the basement, much like a trio of kidnap victims, all the way to 3rd place.

    Can I assume the "very same treatment" you speak of is best defined as empty spin? The fact of the matter is by putting the most positive spin on all things Brownie you continue to fool yourself into believing you don't deserve the fate that has befallen your once proud franchise. Truth be told, Cleveland deserved to lose it's football team because it blindly backed every action by a corrupt owner, and further...it completely deserves it's current cursed condition because the fanbase continues to ignore the lessons the feetball gods are attempting to teach.

    @the-gipper said:

    Wrong again. I haven't posted here because there's no reason for me to post here. In fact, the only reason I used to blast away at you pinheads on the old AOL boards is because I liked the idea of fighting battles on your turf than on a Bengal board that at one time was littered to overflowing with Brownie shitheads. Happily, I was able to change that dynamic over time by being a much better berserker than any of you could ever dream of. But ignoring that for a moment, I've lurked on this board for years and I know for certain that none of you have ever accepted proper responsibilty for your role in fucking up the Brownstained franchise. And not until you accept that responsibility, and then attempt to make ammends, will your much deserved curse be lifted.

    Giving a rats ass to a point sort of misses the point altogether. As fans each of you is equally as shitty as the owners you've made rich, yet you continue to think of yourselves as exceptional and unworthy of the shitty fate that now defines you. And again, I've been harmlessly lurking on this board for years so theres no need for me to read old threads where guys like you come within shouting distance of the truth, but never do what is required to bridge the gap.

    Who but an always looking backwards Brown fan even remembers what Alice Cooper sang about 40 years ago? All things considered ancient Alice is as obsolete and irrelevant as you football team, and Furnier's far too stupid and poor to torture the likes of me. At best, he can refuse to pay his debt to me, thereby proving he is what I've always known him to be.

    Not once during my entire history of Brownie bashing on the old AOL boards did Ghoolie ever attempt to spar with me.

    At first I thought he was ducking me, but after a few years passed without incident I just wrote it off as a professional courtesy.

  • Yes, I actually thought this board had been around longer than what you say. Since the late 90's I thought. I joined the AOL board around '94 or '95, then I thought this came on around '99 or so. I guess not.

    Quiet night in 2017 and I stumbled into this thread, reminds me of the old ESPN boards in the late 1990s and 2000s which got out of hand and now I believe are completely extinct.

    Quiet night in 2017 and I stumbled into this thread, reminds me of the old ESPN boards in the late 1990s and 2000s which got out of hand and now I believe are completely extinct.

    ESPN or AOL? AOL is where many of us came from.

    Yes, I actually thought this board had been around longer than what you say. Since the late 90's I thought. I joined the AOL board around '94 or '95, then I thought this came on around '99 or so. I guess not.(By the way, the AOL board still exists)

    Man I spent a lot of time on those ESPN boards. I actually switched to this board after we were shut down over there.

    The core came from AOL.

    Stan, Hoorta. Zomblow, KS, ONE4Kay, WSS, Chicopee, Eric, Doug, on it goes. The rest of you homos came from the land of make believe.

    YOU? I is not YOU. I was there along with the rest of you on AOL. The thing is, I kind of stuck with AOL longer than the rest of you, even though I was one of the original signees on to this board.

    Ultimately I only left AOL because they kicked me off for hammering the shit out of Steeler fans....of whom there were a couple of real cunts who went crying to AOL about me being mean to them.

    Yeah ESPN used to be nice way earlier until they became virtually mod free and trolls, sales people and other idiots began to take over and kill it.

    The biggest challenge to forums like this are now Facebook, twitter, instigram, snap and god only knows what else. I wonder what ever happened to MySpace? 😕

    There was no space left on it for you. So, in your case, you have to call it YourSpace. GGGGuh. 😵
