  • BTW Milk - please go ahead and respond again as this is the last I'll post with you. Feel free to get the last word. I know, like many other schoolchildren, the immaturity forces you to always need to have the last word...

    CHANGE IS GOOD

  • yeah, you're right.

    wow, you've done a lot. wish i had the loot to go see all though big name sporting events.

    pretty even on the countries. i only lived in one though, under different circumstances, which leads me to this question: did you ever serve your country?

    (don't worry i already know the answer to that......pussy).

  • I listened to the Haslam press conferences the other day and I definitely got a good vibe from him. you can tell he genuinely wants the team to win and how involved he'll be, seems like a good guy too.

    Good things for the Browns are coming for sure. Lerner wasn't a bad guy but he just didn't care all that much about this team, and never really wanted to be in the position of being owner.

    OK can we at least differentiate between AL and Randy...

    Al was a hero, whose only errors were Randy... and dieing...

    We differ here. Al was not a hero. He was as much the reason the Browns left in the first place as Modell and Michael White were.

    He didn't 'save' the Browns. He won a bidding war where he came in after other groups had already proposed to the NFL their bid packages and won because he had ties within the NFL - and paid them off.

    If Al hadn't bought them, another local guy would have. And we would have had a much better 12-13 years in the mean time...

    Back to the dreaded uni's - I hope they remove the damn 'AL' from the sleeve. The guy should be revered - but not for placing the winning bid to bring the Browns back. He was just the wealthiest man willing to spend the most at the time. He should be revered for his philanthropic work and all - not for owning the crappy team he helped put on the field...

    I agree- putting that AL on the jersey permanently was undeserved. A one year tribute, like the Ravens are doing with Schmodell would have been plenty adequate.
