Dan Rooney: (Whispering into the phone) Alright, what do you have for me?

BDT (Browns Deep Throat): (Looks around furtively, then whispers into the phone) You're going to want to pay me double for this one!

Rooney: Sounds good...as long as we win, I'll take care of you.

BDT: See that you do; remember that those two wins every year are what gives you guys homefield advantage.

Rooney: Enough talk--give me the details. What's the gameplan? What are the team's weaknesses?

BDT: Okay, here we go...the team sucks.

Rooney: What? I watch Sunday Countdown, and I could have told you that.

BDT: Yeah, but they only tell you part of the story...this team sucks in ways that would blow your mind. Players, coaches, front office, they all suck.

Rooney: I said details! I'm not paying you to explain the team in terms that the mouth-breathingest message board troll could understand!

BDT: Okay, here are some details. Follow the money.

Rooney: What?!

BDT: Follow the money...to a #2 receiver who can only run on days that don't have a "y" in them...or to a DE who has been playing two-hand touch since the exhibition games, and a #1 pick LB who gets a sack once every four games or so.

Rooney: (Cautiously) Alright, tell me more...

BDT: Okay, you wanted gameplan details, here are some. The coach is trying to keep it quiet, but he's planning on calling a timeout to decide whether or not it's a good idea to challenge calls, then challenging them anyway. If the team is within thirty points in the fourth quarter, get ready for field goals. Oh, and if Roethlisberger is looking for a leg up, here's a hint about our defensive strategy: they're planning on not rushing the QB, leaving the middle of the field wide open to any and all receivers, and they're putting Terry Cousins out there.

Rooney: Good, good...you're starting to earn your money now. What about the offense?

BDT: Even though Jamal Lewis is averaging about a yard per carry, expect to see him early and often. Don't expect to see the other RBs. If Edwards gets thrown the ball, he's working on some new ways of dropping it--pretty scary stuff. Winslow is someone you should be concerned about, but his arm falls off about the third quarter of every game.

Rooney: But Quinn...what about Quinn?!

BDT: Two words, my man...screen pass.

Rooney: Screen pass?

BDT: Screen pass.

Rooney: My friend, you've outdone yourself this time. Armed with the information that we're playing a team with mediocre talent, lousy coaching, and a dysfunctional front office, we might be able to pull this one out.

BDT: I'm worried, though. What about the fans? I think they're onto me.

Rooney: The fans? The fans? You mean the people who are still pointing to a missed holding call from the 1971 exhibition season as proof of a longstanding, league-wide conspiracy to help the Steelers--with no explanation for why the league would conspire to help one team win for thirty years? With no explanation of how every single other conspiracy ever perpetrated--by individuals or government--has been exposed except this one? Trust me, you don't need to worry your pretty little head about the fans...besides, they're the ones who were caught on tape chanting "Super Bowl" at this year's Browns training camp...do you think anyone is going to take their theories seriously?

BDT: I guess you're right, Big Daddy. Oh, wait, the water on my desk is starting to ripple...I think Mangini is coming! I have to go!

(Click)

Rooney: (To himself) Fools, they'll never know...wait a minute, why am I wasting money bribing a guy who works for a team the Steelers could beat with their JV team? I knew I should have put a plant in the Patriots' offices instead! Oh, well, back to figuring out how to rig the coin toss for the Super Bowl...

Which is why I mentioned tampering... another silly rule since pretty much everyone acknowldges that every team does it, though only the stupid teams get caught - and the commissioner has taken draft picks away from those stupid teams that embarass him by getting caught.

I guess you can't blame Mangini either - he's loyal to himself - and no organization.

I mean, who here would fault him if he did go to a division rival of the Browns, determine that he could help himself and his new team by squealing about tampering or some other rule violation?

No one here - that's for sure. You guys are getting my vote for the most laid back, mellow fans in the NFL!

Answer one question. Did Belichick cheat?

Yeah, Patsy ... we're laid back.

Who is the best LB and Olineman in in Pats history?

Dawgpound? Didn't you hear? Mangenius has decreed that every member be spayed or neutered.

It's all part of his plan to erase the past so fans and players aren't boasting about accomplishments from 1999 and earlier.

LMAO, this is comedy Gold, COMEDY GOLD. I'm hoping my sarcasm meter is off.

@inspecta said:

Maybe that would of prevented ALL of that from happening.

If nobody cheats and everybody plays by the rules then he has nothing to "rat" about.

Quit pissing and moaning, your team has won several super bowls this decade, so you pissing and moaning to a bunch of Browns fans about this isn't going to garner you much support or sympathy.

I fully agree. Taping signals is fully legal and even encouraged by the NFL which sets rules that allow it from the approved locations - just as it has been for more than 50 years. What's NOT legal is taping signals from the sidelines, and unfortunately for the Patriots, since most fans aren't smart enough to know that taping signals is allowed (let alone being knowledgable about the legality of stealing signals) Goodell took away one of the Patriots two 1st round draft picks to make himself look "tough" to punish the Patriots for breaking a silly rule amid what was largely perceived as "signal stealing scandal" even though signal stealing is condoned.

Which is why I mentioned tampering... another silly rule since pretty much everyone acknowldges that every team does it, though only the stupid teams get caught - and the commissioner has taken draft picks away from those stupid teams that embarass him by getting caught.

Nah - just a loyal Patriots fan!

I'm not expecting you'd understand. Clearly if Mangini left the Browns for the Steelers in a few years and told the commissioner about various instances of tampering that caused the Browns to lose draft picks, that wouldn't bother you.

Which is a good thing, as given Mangini's history that's exactly the chance Lerner's taking with this guy.

But I give you guys credit for being so mellow and cool about that sort of thing. 20 years ago or so, that might not be the case, as I recall a very intense rivalry with the Steelers and other division rivals. Man, back then Browns fans were some of the most rabid on the face of the planet!

The fact that the fanbase is somewhat ambivilent about such things today reaffirms that Lerner knows what he's doing by taking a chance on a guy who won't hesitate to undermine an organizatoin that gave him a shot when no one else would.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying Mangini's the worst coach in the world (though hopefully he doesn't promise to name any more children after Brett Favre in order to coax him to the Browns)... I'm just saying if Browns fans are looking for loyal head coach, they've got the wrong guy on the field!

(and "Zombo" to you as well!)

I think it is some kind of man crush. Something like Lum and DA.

Zombo said:

Belichick cheated, Mangini caught him, no one outside of New York or Boston really cares or cared.

It's not what anybody thinks about when they think of Mangini nor Belichick, yet you seem like it's some big deal or something.

Jets fans used to say the same thing. Now they're hoping that they don't lose draft picks because Mangini tattles about instances of Tannenbaum tampering or who knows what else.

After all - it takes a snitch to find a snitch!

I'm sure that's the reason the Browns haven't been able to beat the Steelers.
