    You masturbate, as usual.

    Or you blubber and repeat yourself.

    Stopped there for lunch in June, 2018 on drive up from Alabama with the daughter and her fam (3 grandkids) on a coaster trek... Cedar Point and Holiday World.

    Food was as good as I remembered as was their Bock bier on tap...  a German import IIRC.

    It's been a really long time for me. I'd guess early 2000's. Where I live now (delaware, Ohio) has really great food so I don't venture out as often as some may otherwise chasing the goodness. Def have always had good food and solid beer.

    Bit east of you, but you don't happen to remember a restaurants named Bonvechio's, do you? Around Wainwright somewhere... south of New Philadelphia.

    My Dad loved the place and we'd make the fairly long drive down from CLE a couple times a year for dinner... and a long drive back home.

    Primarily a steakhouse they used to age beef on premises in their cellar. Dad told me you could go down and pick out your own steak, but he did not recommend it. Said he did it once and damn near couldn't eat the thing after seeing the mold on it.

    May have closed in the early 60's... seems like I was pretty small when we stopped making that long-ass drive.

    Yea no idea. I've been in Columbus off and on for a little over ten years now I'd say but the area where we are has so much stuff we never really have to drive to far to get something really good. Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville and of course columbus as a whole. It definitely sounds good tho. One place I really miss is Mike's place in Kent. It's a brownsbacker place too. Lol. X-wing out front and really good greasy spoon breakfast. 

    I will try and ask around about that steakhouse. Ive never been to new Philly tho or Wainright.

    We couldn't guard either of your your fat mouth #1 and #2 wrs because they were up against our third string and practice squad cornerbacks. Pitch and catch. Regarding next year- our #2 CB Greedy Williams and #1 safety Grant Delpit haven't played all year because of injuries. You got curb stomped by a team without 1\2 its coaching staff, #1 Cb, two of our all-pro OL, and eventually playing a guy at left guard who had to introduce himself to the team in the locker room before the game. 

    Yeah the Browns beat us- and I hope you lose to the Chiefs.... (Well, I hope the Ratbirds lose to the Bills) BTW- as usual, you're severely overrating the Steeler's talent. The only place Pittsburgh is ahead of us now is at linebacker. And a lot of your "talent" is significantly older. I'll wait to see what the Steelers and Ben are going to do about his $40 million cap hit next year.... You have a bunch of free agents coming up that are wanting to get paid, and you're in cap hell.  

    But, but, but....he wouldn't trade his entire roster for ours.    I on the other hand did say that I would trade his LBs for ours.

    BTW- Vag is "technically" right- Bens "dead cap" is only $22 million, as opposed to a "cap hit" of $40 million. Either way, they have zero cap room without making significant moves to get out of cap hell.  

  • @nero said:

    One week you're saying that the Browns won against a backup team and the next one, being the Browns the one with more adversities, it was only the Steelers losing. 

    If every time the Browns win the Steelers there is going to be some kind of excuse instead of some credit, then I'm sorry but I'm not that interested in your opinion. 

    I have given credit plenty of times. I just think those that believe the demise of the steelers is here is comical.  I guess we are going to find out.  I'm not happy with the steelers and it has absolutely zero to do with losing to the browns.

    You're subscribing to the Steeler fantasy- we're going to be good next year because we've always been good.  

    Regarding beer- I don't understand the support Yen-ling that Chinese beer gets.

    It's not a fantasy, the team is built for the future. There may be a couple down years but the talent is there and the organization has had continued success for a reason. Organizations like the steelers or the penguins dont stay down for long, they are built different. The same can be said about several other franchises. It is what it is. I also don't care much for yuengling but it was always around. My dad nor I were big drinkers tho. 

    Edit: and I assume the Chinese thing was tongue in cheek. Lol. If not it's the oldest American brewery and obviously based in PA. ?

    This shouldn't be confusing but both statements are correct.  41.3 if he's on the roster on 6/2/21; 22.3 if he's cut by 6/1.. but then they have no QB and a charge of 22.3.

    Fun is that the 2021cap drops to 176 from current 202.. At present the Steelers are 21M over that cap of 176.. Look out below.

    Gently said the Steelers fan who posts on a Browns board.

    I've explained why I'm here and have been here for a long time. I went to college in ohio, I joined the board because I wanted info/ammo to debate with my college friends and I stuck around. I don't need to be here. I don't really talk shit. Where exactly is your problem?

    No issue, just highlighting the idiocy. 

    The why is Irrelavent - you're here on a Browns board BUT it's the Browns who can't shut up about the Steelers? 

    Either accept the territory you're in and that Cleveland fans wish to see this rivalry restored and post as such (it's been getting better the last 4-5 years) or quit bitching about what they say.

    Hell, I'm cool with Juju and now Chase going off.  I miss some old fashion hate and bitterness.  Makes a win a little more satisfying in a game that is supposed to be a brawl.

    Of course if Ben retires, then PTG's cap relief is immediate.

    Yea we have one downtown delaware. It's call son of Thurman's. Definitely a good burger but also fucking huge. There is a place in a neighboring town (Powell) called the liberty tavern and for a while they made this burger with a Asiago cheese crisp, bacon, fig jam and peanut butter. It's still the best burger I've ever had in my life. Lol. 

    Thurman's is good tho.

    I will be shocked if Ben isn't back. We shall see how badly he wants another go. Does he take a hometown discount? ?‍♂️ 

    I have also read about the team using qualifying contract potentially to bring the cap down. The article mentioned alualu specifically.

    I really don't see the cap dropping that far, especially with covid. I imagine it's going to stay around the 200 mark.
