    probably was if it was rambling and nonsensical and started at 3AM.

    my whole beef with these negative threads is that all these 'guys' want to do is talk shit.

    "haslam needs to be gone." really, how does that happen exactly? i mean he's not going to fire himself.

    "pettine's a pussy and he shouldn't coach ever again even in HS ball." one year? is that what we're down to now?

    "we should have picked watkins, manziel is a bust (even though 3/4s of these guys were sucking his dick before the draft) we need to draft WR number one OR let's trade all our picks for mariota."

    what a bunch of nonsense.

    and cbbacker hasn't posted anything in this thread that defines talking about football. i dare him to go find it.

  • I agree. I keep reading on ESPN comments that Browns fans are done and jumping off the ship. Really? Why the fuck are you bailing now after a mediocre season when they are normally putrid seasons. Where the fuck is PG, we need some fucking positivity in this bitch. I didn't think he had an offseason

  • I would like to see some continuity with the Browns. Part of the previous dysfunction has been the constant changing of personnel. There is no stability in that. It is not like the Browns went 2-14 this past season they went 7-9. I don't understand why some are ready to hit the panic button so quick.

    You forgot Shanahan's play calling sucked. Manziel didn't even play 6 full quarters of football, admitted he wasn't doing the stuff he needed to do- but he's "bust".

    Exactly Pettine looks at least to be the best coach the Browns have hired in a long time. Firing everyone after one year isn't the answer. Only problem is it's going to be tough to improve on that 7-9 record with the brutal schedule the Browns will face this year. At least everyone in the AFC North is in the same boat.

    Well now we know you are a liar as well as an stupid person. You said in one of your posts you went back 4-5 pages on my posts, yet I only had to go back 1 single page to hit a football response, here it is, to TCPO.

    I am sure you will just flame me TCPO, but I do appreciate your willingness to finally talk football. Let me hedge anything further incase you just read the first couple sentences. I do not, claim these stories are right, or wrong. I do not pretend to believe that some of this "could" be made up. My entire comment earlier was because you said something to the sort of "anyone who says sources say" has nothing. If you truly work in the field, then you know that isn't true. That is the only thing I said. I didn't confirm nor deny what La Canfora said, I didn't say he did, or didn't have an agenda. All I say is most reporters get there stories from sources. That's it. Usually those stories turn out to be accurate, not always, but usually.

    The only thing i bring up concerning the La Canfora story is this; about half of what he said has already been said numerous times over the course of the year, and was reported by more then just him. He may have a scoop on a couple things, and he may not, but what he said "to me only" says that he has no reason to really lie. Half of these stories have already been known for months, from others like Mary Kay Cabot, Tony Grossi, and Tom Reed. I remember hearing a month after the draft on Kylie and Booms them arguing about whether Haslam made them draft Johnny. Most of what was said in his article was already known, or had already been said. That's why I tend to believe him. Again that's just me.

    Wow what is that 3x straight I have made you out to be a fool? Just stop posting son, you have been shown as being a fool. You say I don't talk football, but only 1 page back is a football post lol. You're an ignorant fool who clearly is a liar. You're a real class act; you just keep talking, and talking even when your wrong. Good job dumbass.

  • @tim-couch-pulls-out said:

    If you take out everything that "sources say"...all you Have is that Shanahan quit, Gordon is suspended and Manziel is in rehab.

    This is all speculative shock journalistic garbage. Here's a good rule of thumb: "sources say" means absolutely nothing.

    Multiple team sources have told me that Johnny threw a 90 yard TD pass to Brian Hoyer yesterday at rehab and that Jimmy Haslam is a gay robot.

    Why do you even post? That has to be the dumbest thing ever spoken in what 10,000 years of spoken language. Yep your right, the thousands of stories that use "sources say" that turn out 100% right are clearly wrong because you said so. Good one. Wow some real tools on this bored. Maybe they are sources because they don't want to be named? If a journalist is going to throw his "sources" under the bus each time they say something, they will stop saying stuff. What the hell is wrong with you?

    first post in this thread and it was in response to TCPO.

    cbbacker said:

    I figured I would be nice to you since you at least attempted to talk about the actual topic unlike a lot of the fools here, at least till your last line. Show me where I said that all "sources" are accurate. You can't; because, I didn't say that. I questioned some forum troll that has nothing better to do than sit at home posting on a board, and calling people names, and trying to discredit actual journalists who know more about football then they do, and actually does have insiders that also know much more of what's going on then he does. I didn't say La Canfora was right did I? I said that only the dumbest of fools would actually just say "yeah he is a liar, and so are any other journalist who use the "sources say".

    No where in my post did i agree, or disagree with anything La Canfora said. I just pointed out the completely ignorant, and foolish thing that was said about general journalists that is a clear bold faced lie. Why are you hating on me? Do you guys just hate people who point out the truth? They are sources for a reason. Journalists go to jail protecting them. That's why i pointed out he is the dumbest person on earth in the last 10,000 years if he really believes that. That doesn't mean every source is right, but I bet a significant amount more are, and some fool in a forum denouncing all journalists likely isn't someone who actually knows.

    this is the post that you doctored up in your latest response. doesn't look the same to me. what'd have to go back in and add all kinds of shit to make you look like you are right. doesn't sound like talking football to me. just more of the same negative bitching about a fan, a coach someone, just to bitch.

    you are busted and you, dicko, are the LIAR.

    either that or post the actual quote that is date-stamped. can't do it can you?

    OK, THIS HAS GONE ON FAR TOO LONG- TAKE YOUR DAMN CROSS CUT FLAME WAR AND PERSONAL INSULTS TO PM- OR YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO GET A KIDDIE TIMEOUT.

  • I'm just curious, what's the basis of this flare up? That somebody may have generalized that reporters make stuff up? Really? Kind of weak tea for as much anger it generated.

    I wouldn't guess that any reporters actually make stuff up, rather repeat things that someone else may or may not have made up. Then we as fans and hungry for any kind of information take that grain of salt and make an ocean of speculation out of it.

    WSS

    Nice job lying on the doctored up post bud. Your so stupid you cannot even follow the thread. I have yet to lie, but you have continually done so. Your an ass, who busted into this thread cursing, and insulting. I even RESPONDED to TCPO saying I was likely out of line, but then talked football. If I wanted to go through all your responsed, which would take forever, you had 0 football responses, and every single post to me was rude, and filled with insults. I tried talking football After my first initial post. I talked with TCPO, I talked with wss, but you continually just harassed and trolled. If you would stfu already, and let those of us who want to talk football, talk football I am sure people wouldn't be getting mad.

    I own my part in this, I was a dick on that first post, because I felt some guy was generalizing all journalists, not just La Canfora, but all. And he said if they claim "sources" that means nothing. Which is absolutely wrong. Maybe in some case, but definitely not all. So why don't you stop trolling, you clearly do not want to discuss football, and let those of us who do, continue? You are the person spouting off when it comes to my posts. So do us a favor and just step out. I owned my part, I was being a dick, but I was only being a dick to TCPO till you showed up. Now how about you own yours?

    This is an actual post of your to someone else, I mean Zombo and the admins actually allow this.

    SHUT UP.

    SHUT THE FUCK UP.

    CAN YOU PLEEZ SHUT THE FUCK UP?

    JUST SHUT UP WITH A DICK IN UR MOUTH YOU VAGINA SWILL.

    It wasn't just me you were isulting, you go off on anyone who you think is wrong. It's called an opinion. Even though I was rude to TCPO he actually wrote a football post. All I said was i felt he would flame me BUT here is why i think this way. Football talk, and you still responded with typical ignorance, lies, and insults. You do understand that this is a Browns forum meant to talk football right? I am sure there are some kiddie forums around, that you can join and troll. Let us talk football. I haven't been here that long, but I can see why these forums sucks, the moderators allow people to act like you. I guess that's not surprising as Zombo is an administrator and talks to people like you. There are several of you, calfoxckdieh or something like that, and jcamm just toss insults as well.

    I am going to continue giving you stuff to troll even though a couple have asked it to stop, why? Because that's what this forum is for, the insulting, lying, bitching and crying about people and their opinions. So I guess until I will stop talking football, as that will likely get me banned. If I remember correctly this was the forum that was kicked off Cleveland Browns .com. I can see why.
