Browns - Bengals Game
-
I once knew a ninja, and he would give me the scores for football games. We will call him Rocky. Rocky was a smart guy, brilliant and from a wealthy ninja family in beautiful southern Ohio. He used to tell me of the horror that goes on in the mistake by the lake. This horror he was referring to? None other than the stains playing football. Or so they thought it was football. I recently called rocky and asked him for a prediction to this game. After clearing is throat he spoke with great confidence ;
Bengals - 32
Browns - 17
-
Revised prediction: Browns 42, Bungholes 3

And, FYI, see the trivia....PB was also not the principal owner of the Bengals either.
Every Bengal fan knows that.
When the Bengals were founded Paul Brown was granted full control of all football operations but just 2% of the shares. That said, each year he coached his contract allowed for his salary to be exchanged for additional shares and he was given right of first refusal to purchase additional shares whenever FIFO (First in, first out) investors cashed out. Those included the Cincinnati Enquirer and Proctor & Gamble. Thus, Browns share of team ownership grew steadily over the years, due to the opportunities to purchase ownership shares that were written into his contract with the Bengals. Finally, it was later learned a handshake agreement with principle shareholder Dutch Knowlton allowed the Brown family to gain majority shareholder status, and controlling interest, when Knowlton sold his shares to the Brown family at a fraction of their face value.
In short, Paul Brown was able to feather his family nest by doing what few thought was possible, by purchasing stock at every available opportunity whenever short-term short-sighted investors wanted to cash out, and then again when old friend Dutch Knowlton agreed to honor a past promise to the Brown family that actually denied the Knowlton estate of many millions of dollars, as his heirs loudly complained of.
Nutshelled, Paul Brown was a very smart man who surrounded himself in Cincinnati with honest men and investors. His experiences in Clevetucky had taught him the dangers that come from being in partnership with overleveraged miafioso types who built their fortunes by running cab companies, real estate scams, or most recently.....fraudulent fuel rebate schemes that scam millions of dollars.

Fair enough. Then you should be able to go the the trivia thread and answer many/most of those questions.

So much deflection going on here, its pretty obvious the clowns fans are nervous about the game.

Don't be stupid. We have lost bigger games than this one....and didn't get nervous over them.
Clearly YOU are the nervous ones. For the first time in over a generation you see a potential legitimate championship caliber team on your field. Most are picking you to win the AFCN, and to be the prime challenger to the Broncos for the AFC Crown.
Losing to the Browns, who again are picked and expected to be below .500 at best would unravel all that.
Hell, if you lost this game you would be tied with the Browns...who would actually have a tiebreaker over you with the win.
No, you are the ones that need to be nervous.
Are the Bengals a heavy favorite? Yes. Should they be? Yes. Do they seemingly have more talent? Yes
Would it be a major choke job for them to lose to the Browns? Yes.
So, you see, all the apprehension for this game is on your side.
For the Browns to win....after trading away what many thought was their best player....after giving their 3rd string QB the start, a win would just be a major unexpected gift.

Strike a nerve, did I, you buck-toothed Kentucky hilljack? Not big on cypherin' letters round there, I reckon.
Seems like as good a time as any to mention Truck Stop Jimmy and his fancy rebate plan.

on national radio today they were praising the browns. it was really nice to here for a change. they were saying how they think gordon is a top 3 receiver in the NFL right now and how cameron is a total stud. i kid you not. and they put special emphasis on the word superstar when talking about both those guys. first time in ages ive heard this much browns praise from national media in my lifetime. really brightened my day

Browns are a 4 point underdog. In the last 12 games of this series, the dog is 10-1-1
-
There´s never an underdog in a division match-up. I wish it was Sunday already!

It would be nice if y'all didn't get offended and ban every single person who says the bengals are going to win. Sorry for being honest. It's not even trolling. It's just the truth. It's not like were on here saying "lol dalton is the next Peyton manning, bengals are the next great nfl dynasty lol" were just providing factual evidence on why the bengals will win, and then getting banned. The browns suck, get used to it.No, its not a debate. Its a football game. You want to see a debate? Go watch C-SPAN

You think trolling like a douchebag is providing factual evidence. Ah, Kentucky.

This is what passes for factual evidence in cincitucky

Well, when....the Browns win, I hope these cincy trolls come back. Most all the time,
they hide, never to return.
Naturally, if they did win, then they come back to the site to smart off some more.
Squeeler fans are like that often. I say the Brown win.

I wasn't offended, and I don't ban anyone. I was just being semantical toward someone who had a very weak take.
You can smak all you want, just don't be lame and feckless with it.

See what I mean by lame? Really? Modell the Savior? You think that gets our goat? To be the Savior he will need to become the second Jew to be resurrected.

Its way better now, and for the foreseeable future as well. Get used to it.
So you admit your whole fair weather fanbase is rooting for a cheap carbon copy of the Cleveland Browns?

Actually, the Bengals were created out of spite for the owner of the Browns, since Paul Brown was a little pissed. The Carbon Copy as you put it, would be the team there now, a carbon copy of the team in Baltimore. Just tossing that out.
As for the rest of the nonsense in here.
To my fellow Bengals fans, WTF! There is coming to the board of an opponent to talk a little friendly smack and football, and then...well then there is some really dumbass trolling.
As to the matter of Green vs Gordon. Gordon is a solid wideout, looks to have potential, but AJ has 2 seasons already over 1000 yards, Gordon is in year 2, let's give it a few more seasons before comparing Gordon to Moss as I saw earlier.
So this Sunday prediction, it's an AFC north game, which means anything can and usually will happen. One thing I'd say for certain is it will not be a blow out, even if the final score looks a little more lopsided then the game really was.

How bout them Reds, huh?

We come here because of the collective effort by Steeler, Ravens and Bengals fans to run all of you turds out of the Bengals Smack Talk forum.. Its not as fun as it used to be with out the Browns fans to pick on..
Personally I come here because I like "slumming it" every once in a while..
