<![CDATA[Front Office Appreciation Thread]]>i guess this is what it feels like to have competence in the FO. this has been such an exciting off-season. i don't want to jump to conclusions yet, but i feel like holmgren and heckert are going to make us serious contenders for, at the very least, a wildcard spot this season.

Actually, the team is not nicknamed the "Acorns". In Europe, company's buy sponsorship to place on team's jerseys. Aston Villa's sponsor for 2008-09 was Acorns Children's Hospice, a charity. Doesn't mean they're not a bunch of pussies though.

OK then, what IS the nickname of the Aston Villa team? Their logo has a lion or something on it. Do Eurosoccertrash teams even have nicknames like our teams do. You know, Lions, Tigers, Bears, Oh my?

Now there has been a complete turn around. The attitude has been changed and we have brought in people with a lot of swagger. We have a great mix of vets and young players. This draft is key, and I think we will surprise this year. Go Browns and Go Browns Fans, not every owner listens to its Fans and comes through with a good plan.

Well played.

I believe that most fans don't expect every trade, signing or draft pick to work out but they can stomach that if they have confidence in the people making the decisions.

What a killer jam.

Randy has vindicated himself with this front office, now we need to see the results on the field. Some recent moves point toward the Browns wanting to win now.
