    You don’t even know the meaning of a word and yet use it. Why? Shit for brains?

  • The only legacy in Cleveland Browns history is Paul Brown

    If drunk ass Bob Irsay took the Colts team to Indy and left the team name, colors and history I would have said Good Riddance!  Bye! Good luck in Indy! The Baltimore COlts drafted John Elway but he refused to come to Baltimore because of the owner. He was a bad owner and a drunk. Nothing would have made me happier then today's Ravens would have been named the Colt's. If Cleveland would have won the Super Bowl in the last 20 years you wouldnt have a problem, but because they have basically sucked for the last 20 years it's Modell's legacy. If you had won the Super Bowl would it have been his legacy also? Hell no! Only the bad stuff is his legacy.....right?

    What the fuck does EarSay have to do with a goddamn thing. That’s your problem not ours talk to that shit on your own board not here. And yes that things are Modell’s legacy because everything he touched was bad. He had nothing to do with the ravens are being good that was all biscotti when he came in and took over.

    Hmmmmmmm Modell was the owner when they won their first Championship.....2000. As far as what point it was to bring up Irsay was to illustrate the difference/similarities there was between the Browns move and the Colts move. I guess it got lost in translation.

    Please, players are proud to be what ever team pays them the most money. I will agree with one thing....you have it a bit wrong. Baltimore isnt the "crack" capitol of the country but they are the heroin capitol thats for sure. It is laundry, players come and go. Unitas went and Played for the Chargers, Joe Montana went and played for the Chiefs. My point was that Cleveland was able to keep thier colors, thier history and thier name.....thier Jersey's. What exactly did Modell take?  I will agree with you about Ozzie, did you know he will not sign any Ravens gear? Only Browns gear.

    BTW none of the players you mentioned was on the 2000 Championship team........none!

    The shit that has been the Browns these last 20 years has been Modells legacy. You know. The guy that the NFL kicked out of the league for his incompetence

    He's in denial Modell was going bankrupt, Fleet Bank was going to foreclose on him, and Biscotti threw him a life preserver to save face.  After Maryland and Baltimore gave him what was  it a $75 million  bribe to move? 

    @ballsonchin said:

    "Kicked out of the league"? Modell had nothing to do with who the expansion team owners were. He had nothing to do with the HC's, GM's or missed first round picks that these awful owners hired. Modell's legacy in the NFL are many....some great....some not so much. Modell made a business decision, you may not have liked it but for him and his family it was the best decision he could have made. Again I still don't get the angst. You kept the team, just not the owner. Besides a few years of football what have you missed?  One last thing, I will say it right here....right now. Mayfield is a way better QB than Jackson hands down. But the Ravens are a better team......today.

    The other owners- Modell included- thought the previous expansion teams, the Jaguars and Panthers got too good, too fast. So it was time to screw the most loyal fan base in the NFL over royally. Jags and Carolina had at least an entire year to get their act together, and got way better deals in the expansion draft. The Browns got months, and got crap. 

    As far as Modell's "business decision"- BS he could have sold out to Al Lerner, then and there. Nope, wanted to have the glory of being an NFL owner, and pass the team down to his cigar chompin' kid. Nothing short of Divine Justice he wound up with neither.

    I guess, but Al Lerner turned out to be a turd as well. What do you mean the city of Cleveland got crap? They got a new stadium, the team name etc. etc. Actually Modell got the 75 mill. plus the suite money.....and other perks. Baltimore had a better deal on the table than Jacksonville or Carolina. They just had it in their minds Baltimore wasnt getting an expansion team.  Lerner was also involved in a lot of the negotiations and knew Modell was leaning towards Baltimore. He had his sights on Cleveland, he stabbed Cleveland in the back for his own gain. He didnt want to buy the club from Modell. Why should he? He could waltz in to CLeveland as a hero. But he was in the ear of Modell the entire time encouraging him to go to Baltimore. You guys have all that hatred for Modell you should have had the same for Lerner. Turned out Lerner was even more of a bum then Modell, he didnt care at all about Cleveland. He made a butt load of cash off of Cleveland and selling the Browns. Lerner was standing on the podium with Modell when he announced he was leaving Cleveland and going to Baltimore.

    Well actually not everything you said was a fact, such as knock chip off shoulder. But it is talking trash, when you come on to say the things you did.

    You also say "we" arent the same team you saw before, which makes it seem as if you think the Browns are. You cant have it both ways. They have played this year, with Cleveland winning. You use games that have happened recently to support your case, why didn't you bring that one up?

    Again, if you wanted to bolster your team up, then do it. Dont say you aren't going to talk then do it. 

    I didnt use that game because 1) there is a different QB playing for BOTH teams. WHy would I use that as an example of what might happen today? Of course I would use games that were played recently. Why wouldn't I?  Would you disagree that Mayfield is playing with a chip on his shoulder?  Bolstering my team is not talking smack, saying the Browns fans are delusional thinking they can win would be talking smack......I never said such a thing. Talking smack would be saying the Ravens were going to dominate the game with out using facts to support the argument. Its not bragging if you have facts that support your position.

    Yes he is playing with one, and if you dont see how saying your team is going to knock it off is talking then I cant help you.

    I also believe you were missing my point, no reason not to use any game to make your point, but when you only use them and state we are a different team, you imply that Cleveland isnt. 

    And you lost to KC in OT, and beat Chargers, awesome. But there IS a head to head game that could be referenced, and it just didn't fit your agenda so you didn't use it.

    Let's put it this way. If you had brought this same thing up, but Baltimore had won the PREVIOUS meeting 12-9, are you trying to say you wouldn't have used that game as more facts? Of course you would.

    Maybe you didn't mean to come talk trash, I dont know what you are thinking. But even if inadvertently, you did. By saying a different team (like I said that comes across as saying you have improved and Cleveland hasnt) and saying you will knock chip off shoulder, that is CLEAR trash talk.

    I'm sure you would have had people responding to you, but I wouldn't have been one, if all you did was trash talk. It's the fact you said you didn't come to talk trash and did that I responded

    I guess, but I think your nit picking a bit. I said he was a beast, I said he was a better QB than Jackson. I did say he was playing with a chip on his shoulder.....and yes I said the Ravens were going to knock it off. But I just didnt look at it like it was talking smack. I can see how it looks that way. The Ravens defense is a quick physical defense, you shouldnt take it so personal. He isnt playing the lowly Bengals this week.

  • Volatile conversation. Like it or not, the entire move had multiple villains. Modell was an a hole, The city of Cleveland, led by Mike White was ALSO a culprit. These assholes LOVED seeing Modell struggle and were cocky in thinking he would never move.

    If you are any kind of leader, and you understand how important the Browns are, you stay involved with the team and the owner. The entire city of Cleveland, as well as people here hated Modell regardless of what he did. People never got over their hard-on for his firing Paul Brown, WHICH, was the right thing to do.

    Yeah, Modell was a loose cannon, but Cleveland knew him for more than 5 decades. They dropped the ball, and what you have now, is people like Gip[er and Hoorta getting their panties in a bind because the Browns, are not a free-and-clear franchise, with a lot of people bringing up these side issues, which in my opinion are never going to die. Make no mistake, when the Browns finally win their 1st SB, Art Modell's name will be brought up by the announcers, writers, and commentators.

    I didn't take it personal, but others can tell you I am one that doesnt like seeing from anyone hypocrisy. And that is reason I said something

    Nothing you said about your team is wrong, just how I saw you saying 2 different things.

    But you were wrong when you said didn't say anything about the 1st game because both teams had different QBs. Baker played the 1st game.

    Because of my background coaching, I quite enjoy your offensive scheme now. Dont like the team running it, but do like the style

    Hmmmmmmm Modell was the owner when they won their first Championship.....2000. As far as what point it was to bring up Irsay was to illustrate the difference/similarities there was between the Browns move and the Colts move. I guess it got lost in translation.

    You are just dumbass wrong about most of this

  • @jcam222 said:

    It is the same team. Are they playing at a different level? Perhaps. Realistically neither you or anyone else gave us a shot at beating them the first time in Cleveland but we did. It is really quite simple, if we can contain Lamar we win. Without him running the ball you are lucky to score any points. 

    By the way same question back at you, Do you think this is the same team you played earlier this year? the answer is HELL NO, better coached and kicking a$$

     I agree the Browns are not. But the wins have come from sub 500 teams. The same certianally can not be said about the Ravens. You are right we can't predict what will truly happen tomorrow, that is why we play the game. The Ravens are playing at home, for the division title, the #4 seed and possible #2 seed, the entire season or go home.....a one and done scenario. Sorry I guess you can say I am partial, but statistically over all the Ravens are better. The defense is way better,  the coaching is better, These are facts not a opinion based on emotions. I say Good luck we will find out in about 24 hours.

    Rest well tonight knowing we beat you at home by 5 without the complete incompetence of the refs blowing that play dead.
