  • wish you weren't even in the division, our division, Buffalo or Indy would have been a better fit, but you are, and the winner of this game gets to climb back in the race and put some heat on Cincy. We already beat them and I'm pretty sure we'll beat you too now that we don't have a Retard at QB.

    Are you saying "Realignment"? How about this scenario:

    Northeast Division: Patriots, Jets, Giants, Bills

    Mid-Atlantic Division: Eagles, Ravens, Redskins, Panthers

    Southeast Division: Dolphins, Jaguars, Buccaneers, Falcons

    North Division: Browns, Steelers, Bengals, Colts

    Great Lakes Division: Lions, Bears, Packers, Vikings

    Mid-Central Division: Saints, Titans, Chiefs, Rams

    Southwest Division: Cowboys, Texans, Broncos, Cardinals

    West Coast Division: Seahawks, 49ers, Raiders, Chargers

    Essentially, to me you do away with the Conferences..or actually what you have are divisions that rotate....so that you don't have what you have in basketball just East vs. West.

    One year say you have in the American Conference: the Northeast, Great Lakes, Mid-Central and West Coast divisions.

    The next year you have completely different division alignment. And do that on a rotation kind of like what they do with the schedules now.

    The problem with rotating like that is you don't get to see rivalry growing outside the divisions. For example, everyone was excited about the Broncos vs Ravens at the start of the year because the Ravens robbed the broncos in the playoffs. You wouldn't have that with the rotation.

    But you perhaps have far better rivalrie within the divisions. Jets/Giants? Ravens/Redskins Raiders/49ers Cowboys/Texans

    Dolphins/Buccaneers Rams/Chiefs

    Who cares if you have no rivalries outside the division when the in-division rivalries are vastly magnified.

    But then you only get really heated up about 6 games a season. If you split up the intra-state rivals, then you have both division and state rivals. Don't you? Are the Steelers and Eagles rivals?

    You only really have that now anyway. I mean, I guess it is possible that you could lose having the Browns play the Broncos 3 out of 4 years for the Conference title.....or the Colts/Pats.

    But it doesn't necessarily mean you will lose that. Half the years you are still going to have the Colts and Pats playing in the same conference.

  • The browns and bengals should not be in the same division or even the same conference. As far as I know we are the only two team state (not three or more) that has teams in the same fucking division. Plus its too much orange and we had it first.

  • My ideal division would be cle, det, buf, and either chi or pit

    In theory the Jets and Bills are in the same state, though the NYJ play in Jersey.

    Raiders and Chargers, both in same state play in the same division.

    The Lake Erie Division?

    We already have the Lake Erie NFL fraternity. The Gods hate teams that play on Lake Erie. Lions, no titles since 1957. Browns, none since 1964. Bills, none since 1965.

  • Chicago and green bay?

    I specified no three team states

  • The Ratbirds belong in the AFC East, but I doubt it ever happens. The NFL likes the rivalry thing (as it should), that's why they didn't oust Dallas from the NFC East for instance. In the NFL's haste to put Balt-Pitt in the same division, they bitch slapped us by making sure we play the Ratbirds twice a year and we get riled up about the move.

    I have always said they should make a Carpet Bagger Division with Baltimore, St. Louis, Tennessee, & Indy.

    Not exactly- but close. The reason why the Cowboys aren't in the NFC South (where they belong) Is Jerry Jones- who has way more clout with the other owners than he deserves- was adamant about keeping the rivalry with the Redskins.

    The young 'uns may not know it- but way back in the 60s the Browns had a pretty heated rivalry with the Giants- until Carpetbagger Modell figured out he could make a lot of money by switching conferences. So tough Jerry- times change. you have no geographic rivalry with Washington DC.

    But, you know there is that whole Cowboys/Indians thing....which seems to be the sole basis of the rivalry.

    If the Redskins have to change their name, that goes away.

    (In reality....Jerry wanted to keep his team in the same division as the "big, big" East Coast teams...NYC/Philly/DC, for money reasons apparently) It was all about the big markets to him, not the rivalry.

    Not to change the subject, but where'd you get a good beer in the stadium?

    Any beer is good beer.

    The ones at the game were great because Zombo was buying.....seems he kept losing bets to me.

    Well let's just say that any beer is better than no beer at all..... Do they have Great Lakes at the stadium? If so a lot of their stuff is above average. Unfortunately they have taken to tinkering with some of the recipes and putting in less hops, the excuse being that hops are expensive. Hey fellas, blow me. 10 bucks for a 4 pack of Nosferatu and you fuckers are going to grind me for a pennies worth of hops???

    Still, Baltimore guy, it's better than national bohemian... But I hope you had a good time in Cleveland!

    I'm not a big hops fan- so no IPAs for me. Haven't seen Great Lakes at the Stadium, except in the bars. About the best you can do is Labatts or regular Bud outside, and you have to look for it. Let's see- $8 for a Bud Lite, or the same price for an Absolut Bloody Mary? Easy choice for me. 🙂 And they wonder why guys Tailgate.

  • It was nice of Harry Taintsniffer and Sandy Vagina to check in with us after the game and share their experiences.

    We've had a few stand up fans over the years that come back win or lose: Packers fan, Bills fan, Redskin fan, maybe a couple more ... but our division is full of pussy fans, can't wait until we have the best team to go with the best fans ... it's coming.

    Need a hug?

    No, Harry, I need a Win.

    And i'm pretty sure it is coming Sunday.

    I wish it were against a franchise that I had at least an ounce of respect for ... Pittsburgh, the other 29 teams ..

    But it's against the historically irrelevant and ill-begotten Ratbirds.

    A franchise that can take "pride" in that fact their only HOFer, Jonathan Ogden, was the result of a draft pick stolen from Cleveland. And their franchise "icon", Ray Lewis, was also a Browns draft pick that the Browns had traded for, but the Ravens stole. Ray went on to make Baltimore proud though, being found guilty of obstructing justice in a double homicide. That's all yours.

    In fact every player that has worn the Mauve and Black is illegitimate in that they were all selected by Ozzie Newsome who you were able to get through the heist.

    I wish you weren't even in the division, our division, Buffalo or Indy would have been a better fit, but you are, and the winner of this game gets to climb back in the race and put some heat on Cincy. We already beat them and I'm pretty sure we'll beat you too now that we don't have a Retard at QB.

    It'll be fun to win ... just wish it was against a real team with real fans and not a bunch of soulless pussies in purple.

    I am a Bengals fan. Probably not much better in your eyes lol.

    Grats on beating the Ravens though.

    I respect the heck out of Browns fans. Although a little crass and hostile at times (at least on this board), you guys support your team.

    More than I can say about a lot of Bengals fans. And you aren't bandwagon like Steeler fans.

    I'm not a big fans of Bungles fans in general, they seem an obnoxious bunch, but you get an ounce of respect walking in the door as opposed to any Ratbird fan over 30 who was old enough to know they were accepting satan into their lives when they adopted the Ravens as their team.

    If you grew up in Cincinnati, you liked football and you rooted for the local team ... I got no problem with that. Glad you are passionate about your team.

    It's the ones that parade in here on game week, clog the board with 6th grade smack, and we never see them again after we win, that I loathe ... you aren't one of them are you?
