Building The Browns

yeah but kush looked like sheldons bodyguard. I completely firgot thst dorsey picked up an o lineman, im like who is this suited up honky boy lol. Dude at least "looks" the part....where'd he come from agsin?
Looking at Kush's body makes me think of FrankenBeerry!!

Thanks for posting these. I liked the bit about D. Howard. I didn’t realize Dorsey “discovered” him.
And on a side note, are the 80s back in fashion? Both Howard and Becham seem to be sporting outfits that are unabashedly from that time period. Perhaps we could start a godundme page to get those mofos some jelly bracelets.

I like what he said at the end about how the passion of the fans in Cleveland rivals that of those at Alabama. That is a supreme compliment. There are four places I have seen that to be true, Bama, LSU, A&M and Denver. It has become obvious over the time I have been on this board that Cleveland merits that same respect. Get ready for high priced aftermarket tickets in a sold out stadium. It's coming this fall.

Big change from 0-16 Ag. Not that I'd sell mine (only have once, my pal has to due to health concerns) but in the depths of that winless season, we were getting 30 cents on the dollar for 20 yard line field level seats. Some of his tickets didn't sell at any price. It was so bad, NFL Ticket Exchange had to change their rule that you couldn't offer a ticket at less than face value on their site. You probably know prime seats for a decent team are usually at least 150% if not double or more face value on the secondary market.
About a month ago, looking it up, the nosebleeds were at least $2,000- double the face value for a Super Bowl ticket. I told the guys start socking away money now if you have thoughts about attending when the Browns make the big game.
PS- with the NFL going totally to electronic tickets, it's probably going to put street scalpers out of business. And the Browns first playoff game this season? I can't wait to frame this:

1) that weight room is up to date & Sweet! 2) From the shy Nick Chubb getting his bags at the Airport landing in C-town.To the 16th minute of this video, of Nick still in the background..That boy'z built like a truck but he runs like a Train ?... Get out the way AFCN, Train-Chubb coming at you ?..ok,, now am stoked ..

Per this, Alabama only 7th....behind OSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Florida St. Duke and NC basketball....just ahead of North Dakota Univ. hockey fans.
(no mention of LSU/A&M etc.) This only applies to college sports...and note...this is put out by "Crimson Education"....an Alabama affiliate publication.

A&M completed the renovation of Kyle Field rounding out the bowl with over 100,000 seats. It is now the loudest venue I have ever experienced and that includes Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge and Denver's Mile High Bowl against K.C. & Mahomes this past year. All 3 are deafening, even for this guy with both hearing aids out.?

Probably because they pump in fake crowd sounds.
Just kidding....but it has been know to happen.
And imagine how it would be if they ever had a decent football team!

Before the stadium was expanded there was a magical game one night when JM went down with a knee injury and the crowd began chanting his name. He got up, came out the 2nd half with a new knee brace on and carved up Missou to win the Heisman that night. You can't make moments like that up. The same year he led them to the win over Bama at their place. That was a decent team.

On TV, at a crowded restaurant in Cleveland - full of Browns fans, they had Njoku on there. He did great - they showed a clip of the two guys on the NFL channel going over predictions for the Browns' schedule. They ended up having the Browns winning their last four, and going 11-5. The great part was, Njoku wasn't pleased - he said they won't be happy with that - they believe the sky is the limit, they want to be the very best they can possibly be. He didn't think much of their 11-5 prediction.
He was genuine about it - it was great. Said they didn't see themselves losing any game. The Browns have built a winning lockerroom, with winning talent. The sky SHOULD be the limit.

If I had that fuckin gym I'd never leave it.
Oh, at 15:34 - don't make fun of the punter just because you see him with a lower weight. That type of exercise isn't meant to be done with a lot of weight and isn't to be performed often.

Quite a brilliant little invention. Really gives you an idea of how well you're exploding out of your stance.

I guess it depends on what you consider "decent". Here is their records since 2000:

Wasn't going to edit it, but I saw that too- it was from the NFLN schedule release show.

I never claimed they had any great years, just decent. We also had almost 20 years of really poor coaching. RC failed to adjust to early recruiting during his last few years and we paid the price. Francione was just really bad as was Sherman. Sumlin got lucky with Sherman's recruit, JFF, who had his two magic years. That is why sometimes people refer to the new Kyle Field as the House That Johnny Built. But all through those years the best teams that came were always sellouts despite the mediocre teams. Now those are sellouts at 100,000+ and Jimbo is just getting started. I expect better after he's had about two more recruiting classes to go with the one just completed.
