    Yes, the comeback of a genius. Accuse me of something, then when you get kicked in the vagina, divert the conversation. Here is a better one... if you met me in person, you wouldn't say schidt. GTFO Puta.

    Puta = Spanish for Whore in Venezuela.LOL!?

    I am not making that up Tom.?

    Ah, you think I didn't know that when I posted it? By the way, you did see where I bought a bottle of Diplomatica Reserva Exclusiva? It finally entered the mid south market.

    The first time I lived through a changing of the guard, Jim Brown retired. The emergence of Sipe was a big change for us, as was his leaving. Sam and Sipe in exchange for Bernie and Marty was another, but whew....we wound up being okay. I think the next one was Modell moving the team.

    I personally believe we are living in the age of a new Browns franchise, and me, not being blinded by fanaticism, believes there is good reason for this. In the division and Ben, Flacco are getting long in the tooth. I am not sure yet about Ben, but his miracle throws have almost vanished. He is still a physical bastard and his team is in a weird place. I AM however sure about Tom Brady. Only 80's Steeler-type miraculous luck allows Brady to beat Atlanta, and last year, he wasn't enough. This year? He is a ghost. His mental quickness has declined. He is getting hit more and it is NOT the OL. Defenses are not as quick to adjust as I am, but mark my words, this year will be total crap for Tom and the Pats.

    But I digress. Fan-masturbation aside, do you think this is a moment in time that is going to mark a new era for the Browns? I do. 2018-19 will be more than just a year in the records. I believe it will be memorable for fans of all 32 teams as it applies to the Browns.

    COming in 2019 - 20...............Brownsania (collectable material) in mall stores near you.

    All ya have to do is hit on your draft picks Tommy. When you gonna admit Garrett is way more than a Zumba Instructor? Then we get Ward- stud. Ain't gonna anoint Baker after one decent win. But then Dorsey ships out Gordon for yet another violation of team rules. Big John hits on Callaway and Avery- and that's the best Draft the Browns have had since Ozzie and Matthews way back in '78? 

    Regarding the Pats- Kraft Cheese is making a mistake letting Brady "he's like a son to me" tell him what to do. Billy Boy knows the score, and wanted to keep Garrapolo.  Roberto  wants to get Brady to one last SB, and he just might not be good enough to do it anymore- even with Gordon. Billy cut Bernie due to "diminishing skills" Tom may just might have hit the age wall, time will tell. 

    PS & BS. Pre draft, I had the opinion Baker might be the second coming of Drew Brees. We'll see how that turns out.

    I think Brady is done. Frankly, the writing is on the wall. The question is whether the organization would have the guts to possibly release him. And from what I've heard in the media over the past year, such a decision will be the owner's call.

    As for Baker becoming Drew Brees, that's quite a stretch right now. Way too early.

    I thought it was a possibility, but not everyone is familiar with that word. First hand experience helps. ?‍♀️? 

    Plus I kind of read it wrong. I thought you were saying that if he would ever meet you he wouldn't say schidt, just GTFO Puta. ....................My Bad.?

    So how did you like the Diplomatico?

    I like it better than my former favorite, Zaya. Zaya has fallen a bit since it was purchased and moved. It is hard for me to compare what my initial taste of Zaya was to Diplomatico today. However, I think even at it's best, I would have put Zaya second to the Diplomatico. Have you tried the more refined Diplomatico? It is about 70 bucks. I think my next bottle will be that.

    The last stale era for PIT was one 2003 season.  They went 6-10, drafted Ben and the stale one year era was over.

    If you are suggesting that I am backpedaling on my former statement that the Steelers are one of the best organizations in the NFL, I am not. IN FACT............. if you care to find the thread about Le Veon, I am the first and only one to predict that the Steelers would not miss a step, and that his replacement would do just fine. and, well, the guy is just as good, isn't he?

    I was correct about Brady being done, 18 months ago when the Patriots were given the SB with luck. Ben? I am not so sure. The guy is amazing. At times, it seems as though he is not as quick releasing as he once was, but then he makes some plays. As you pointed out, the Steelers are one terrific football player generating machine. My gut tells me this isn't their year, we will see. I think you will at least admit that replacing Ben will be one hell of an achievement.

    No bud, you were not right. Before the AFC championship game in 2017 (the 2016 season), you said that Brady was done, would never win another playoff game. You didn't say he may win a game if he gets lucky, etc. You said NEVER WIN ANOTHER PLAYOFF GAME. He proceeds to win that game. He then goes for another Super Bowl. But hey, let's give you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you meant after that season.

    2017 season (thus 2018 playoffs), Brady wins the MVP. He then goes on to win 2 more playoff games, and put up the a PLAYOFF record in yards in a 8 point loss in the Super Bowl. He also put up the most points in a loss in Super Bowl history. The defense lost the SB for New England, not Brady.

    Could Brady be done, its possible. I wouldn't bet on it. Even if he is, not even close to in the parameters that YOU SET.

    As for all the other things you have said, from DAY ONE you have had horrible things to say about Dorsey. Now that the Browns have shown a little success you are proclaiming you said otherwise, NOPE.

    At least I have figured out why the OL are the source of your venom a lot. They are the ONLY ones you could remotely compare yourself to. And you still can't come close to measuring up.

    And since you managed to get yourself put in timeout you didn't get the opportunity to respond to a few things.

    You complain and make fun about these guys going to the owner about you. So you say you want to buy the board. A fan board for a team you claim to not care about. And if you purchased it, you would permanently ban them because you dont like what they say. POT MEET KETTLE.

    You also have went on and on about how you are always right and that the Browns FO is SO STUPID for not taking the top playmakers. So I compiled those for you, the TOP PLAYMAKERS TAKEN AT THE TIME OF THE BROWNS PICK. Notice that these were not taken by the Browns except on 1 occasion, so either taken with Browns traded pick, or next playmaker.

    2009- Percy Harvin

    2010- CJ Spiller 

    2011- Julio Jones 

    2012- Trent Richardson 

    2013- Tavon Austin 

    2014- Sammy Watkins 

    2015- Devante Parker

    2016- Paxton Lynch ( I gave you the guy you said the Browns should take at 2)

    2017- Mitch Trubisky 

    You cant use the argument that they weren't the right guys, as that has not been your argument. Your argument has been that they didn't take the top playmakers available when they drafted. Those are without a question the top playmakers taken at the time.

    And had the Browns listened to you at the past draft, there would be no stud Ward on the team. As you said the Browns should take Barkley and Ridley, and trade the future to get their QB. Of course you mentioned Lamar Jackson, then Baker Mayfield, then Rosen.

    Keep lying to yourself pal, but do you really have to subject us to your self lies to make yourself feel better? Over something you don't care about.

    Again, I was absolutely right. I appreciate your reading me, and being a fan of mine. I also thank you for re-affirming that I was the first one to tell you that Brady was done, and he is. That his decay took a few weeks longer doesn't detract from my amazing insight.

    Regarding draft picks, he we followed my picks, we would have Petersen, Big Ben, Julio Jones, and more. You are what my Father would call...a jackoff, in fact, you are a jackoff. You can't just go back to 2009...Had the Browns followed my prescription since 1999 they would have had a SB win by now. Drafting Big Ben would mean Lynch and Trubisky would not have been an issue....AND............................ we would not have needed Baker.................... We would have Ben................ and a lot of BETTER draft picks..............   

    ALSO................. My suggested QB have included  Big Ben, Wentz/Goff, Phillip Rivers............... ALL THOSE PICKS performed better than 100% of the Bronws QB picks from 1999. If I was the Browns GM, the QB hunt would have been over long, long, long ago...................... AND...................we would have won 1 or 2 superbowls.

    I would not say I am God-like. BUT.............. I am more accurate than any living expert or personnel executive in the NFL. Of course I have missed a few...... but I have been more accurate than all the posters here, and all the experts.   Bow vermin, Bow to your Master........... Kiss my ring............... I am king.

    There are actually a couple or 3 that are higher level. The highest (Ambassador) will put you back about $250. I can get that here, but I'd rather not put that much into a single bottle when I could get 7 Riservas for that kind of money. The other you may be looking at is the Single Vintage (I don't have it here). Or possibly one of the two Batch Collections running around $80. I can't get those here either. Which one are you looking at?

    Anyway I'm glad you like the Reserva Exclusiva. Just all I could ask in a sipping rum. This Xmas I am going to try another one from Venezuela, Santa Teresa 1796. I'll taste it side by side with the Diplomatico like I have done with others that were just not quite as good to my taste.

    You sir are about as narcissistic and wrong as I have EVER seen. No substance EVER. 

    Just continue with your lies. You are no smarter than ANYONE saying Brady will be done, AT SOME TIME. Heck, I will make a dumb Ghoolie prediction now, sometime in the future Aaron Rodgers and Big Ben will be done. WOW LOOK AT ME, I'M SMART. I SAID IT BEFORE YOU.

    No, you cant go into revisionist history. You said when the Browns had the 2nd pick that they should take Lynch, not Wentz or Goff. But nice try.

    You also didnt respond to ANYTHING else because you know you were caught acting high and mighty when actually an idiot.

    I couldn't care less whether you post here, whether you like the Browns are not, but EVERY time you you try to act like the smartest guy and back it up with lies I will call you out for the BS.

    I will also point out the INCREDIBLE hypocrisy in this post. You arent a fan of this version of the Cleveland Browns, you will now like the Raiders, yet you said WE would have won Super Bowls. Which is it big mouth.

    Keep up with your schick for however long you want. Try to convince ONE person that you dont care about this board. Yet you KEEP coming on and posting and even wanted to buy the board to get rid of people who called you out for your idiotic posts. I have tried over and over to give you the benefit of the doubt, and all you do is try and claim how smart you are and throw nasty rhetoric and insults. All it is is an ACT.

    But the worst thing is because of your stupid persona you actually tried to compare yourself to God.

    You sir are incredibly pathetic. You have shown to not know A THING about FOOTBALL. You can make a few predictions, without a set of parameters. That is called a GAMBLER, not a football person. No your moronic self just throws out racist, homophobic slurs, calls people names and tries to act tough like you can beat everyone up in the world. When in reality you are an overweight old man who wishes he had the skills and dedication of any of the people you like to talk bad about. You continue your persona about being so bad, because you want to act like an internet tough guy, because you know in reality whether you are that tough guy or not that NOBODY here cares about wanting to actually get into a physical altercation because you aren't important.

    But you in real life sounds like a nice person who is trying to do good in the world. Why not be that person on here? Because you dont get the response out of that. But you want to know how I can 100% tell it is all an act? Because all the things you (Tom) has had go good for him in his life, whether it is your invention, music, gambling, Masters, etc you dont brag about. If that were your real crap personality then you certainly would brag about that.

    Why not try for 2 weeks to be Tom, not a prick named Ghoolie. You wont get the same response and click bait, but you might actually be happier. Just a thought.

    God Bless

    I like it better than my former favorite, Zaya. Zaya has fallen a bit since it was purchased and moved. It is hard for me to compare what my initial taste of Zaya was to Diplomatico today. However, I think even at it's best, I would have put Zaya second to the Diplomatico. Have you tried the more refined Diplomatico? It is about 70 bucks. I think my next bottle will be that. 

    There are actually a couple or 3 that are higher level. The highest (Ambassador) will put you back about $250. I can get that here, but I'd rather not put that much into a single bottle when I could get 7 Riservas for that kind of money. The other you may be looking at is the Single Vintage (I don't have it here). Or possibly one of the two Batch Collections running around $80. I can't get those here either. Which one are you looking at?

    Anyway I'm glad you like the Reserva Exclusiva. Just all I could ask in a sipping rum. This Xmas I am going to try another one from Venezuela, Santa Teresa 1796. I'll taste it side by side with the Diplomatico like I have done with others that were just not quite as good to my taste.

    Cathy and I are going to Cuba over Christmas. My former agent has lined me up a gig playing a few songs on the guitarra with a band at a bar called El Mosserita  or some such thing. I know CUba is famous for Rum, so perhaps after I load up on cigars I will be ready for rums. SHoudl be fun.

    Never had any from Cuba, but this came up via Google. Both from 2017.

    No bud, you were not right. Before the AFC championship game in 2017 (the 2016 season), you said that Brady was done, would never win another playoff game. You didn't say he may win a game if he gets lucky, etc. You said NEVER WIN ANOTHER PLAYOFF GAME. He proceeds to win that game. He then goes for another Super Bowl. But hey, let's give you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you meant after that season.

    2017 season (thus 2018 playoffs), Brady wins the MVP. He then goes on to win 2 more playoff games, and put up the a PLAYOFF record in yards in a 8 point loss in the Super Bowl. He also put up the most points in a loss in Super Bowl history. The defense lost the SB for New England, not Brady.

    Could Brady be done, its possible. I wouldn't bet on it. Even if he is, not even close to in the parameters that YOU SET.

    As for all the other things you have said, from DAY ONE you have had horrible things to say about Dorsey. Now that the Browns have shown a little success you are proclaiming you said otherwise, NOPE.

    At least I have figured out why the OL are the source of your venom a lot. They are the ONLY ones you could remotely compare yourself to. And you still can't come close to measuring up.

    And since you managed to get yourself put in timeout you didn't get the opportunity to respond to a few things.

    You complain and make fun about these guys going to the owner about you. So you say you want to buy the board. A fan board for a team you claim to not care about. And if you purchased it, you would permanently ban them because you dont like what they say. POT MEET KETTLE.

    You also have went on and on about how you are always right and that the Browns FO is SO STUPID for not taking the top playmakers. So I compiled those for you, the TOP PLAYMAKERS TAKEN AT THE TIME OF THE BROWNS PICK. Notice that these were not taken by the Browns except on 1 occasion, so either taken with Browns traded pick, or next playmaker.

    2009- Percy Harvin

    2010- CJ Spiller 

    2011- Julio Jones 

    2012- Trent Richardson 

    2013- Tavon Austin 

    2014- Sammy Watkins 

    2015- Devante Parker

    2016- Paxton Lynch ( I gave you the guy you said the Browns should take at 2)

    2017- Mitch Trubisky 

    You cant use the argument that they weren't the right guys, as that has not been your argument. Your argument has been that they didn't take the top playmakers available when they drafted. Those are without a question the top playmakers taken at the time.

    And had the Browns listened to you at the past draft, there would be no stud Ward on the team. As you said the Browns should take Barkley and Ridley, and trade the future to get their QB. Of course you mentioned Lamar Jackson, then Baker Mayfield, then Rosen.

    Keep lying to yourself pal, but do you really have to subject us to your self lies to make yourself feel better? Over something you don't care about.

    Again, I was absolutely right. I appreciate your reading me, and being a fan of mine. I also thank you for re-affirming that I was the first one to tell you that Brady was done, and he is. That his decay took a few weeks longer doesn't detract from my amazing insight.

    Regarding draft picks, he we followed my picks, we would have Petersen, Big Ben, Julio Jones, and more. You are what my Father would call...a jackoff, in fact, you are a jackoff. You can't just go back to 2009...Had the Browns followed my prescription since 1999 they would have had a SB win by now. Drafting Big Ben would mean Lynch and Trubisky would not have been an issue....AND............................ we would not have needed Baker.................... We would have Ben................ and a lot of BETTER draft picks..............   

    ALSO................. My suggested QB have included  Big Ben, Wentz/Goff, Phillip Rivers............... ALL THOSE PICKS performed better than 100% of the Bronws QB picks from 1999. If I was the Browns GM, the QB hunt would have been over long, long, long ago...................... AND...................we would have won 1 or 2 superbowls.

    I would not say I am God-like. BUT.............. I am more accurate than any living expert or personnel executive in the NFL. Of course I have missed a few...... but I have been more accurate than all the posters here, and all the experts.   Bow vermin, Bow to your Master........... Kiss my ring............... I am king.

    Anyone who would write off Tom Brady at this point is what my dad would call.....the king of fuhucking idiots.

    If the Pats have issues, it is with the defense, not with Brady.

    I have seen some of these. I think I will defer to the experts since I can't possibly drink all of this stuff. We are taking a 6 hour convertible tour of the Island. It is mandatory now that a Cuba visit includes a cultural lesson, so we booked a driver, translator on vintage convertible Thunderbird. $199 bucks, lol.  We have to get Canadian money before going there. Lot's of goofy rules. I may wind up in a Cuban Jail.....oh wait,,,, our cruise packgae includes the option of the Cruise line getting you out of jail if you go there. How nuts is that?

    Nope Gip, you're forgetting the Patsies have issues at WR too. The reason they took a flyer on Josh Gordon. Brady is only 25th in passing yards, and 27th in yards per game. His QBR is still a respectable 93 though. 

    The demise of New England (and Brady) has long been anticipated, this just might be the year. Stay tuned. If the Dolphins beat them in Foxborough this Sunday, the vultures will start circling.

    I don't think Brady has "demised" any.   New England's defense has perhaps....and yes, they are having trouble getting decent receivers.   Brandon Cooks,  Amendola,  Edelman, are gone from last year.   But Edelman is due back after one more game....and Gordon will likely join them soon.  If he does not completely blow it, he and Brady could be a lethal combination.

    Its not that I don't wish that Brady and NE would be falling into the abyss.  I do....and I think it will come eventually....just not necessarily right now. 

    Insert the old Mark Twain line:   Reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

    No, this one makes a couple stops along the way, Somewhere in the Bahamas, I also think we make a run to that Atlantis place, then a 24 hour stop in Cuba. We will have a 6-hour car tour with the guides, and then they will drop us off wherever we want. I will probably hire them out for another 6 hours and have a chauffeur for a lot of the place. Cathy is the planner, I am the lobotomy patient that she points and I go. I was a Grinch about our Alaska cruise but man, I had the time of my life.
