Opening game of '99 vs. the Steelers springs to mind. I was prepared for not very good, but not the horror that was 43-0.

2. Who do you think is the Browns QB to start the 2016 season?

Based upon the 2015 Game 1 that I just finished suffering though...

Josh McCown...

with a new Padawan at his side...

4. Are you planning any fall travel this year? Where?

Tentative plans for long weekend in San Antonio in October.

cal's copy/paste barages count??? 😉

Gip, your arguments here often drive me crazy... even if I am not involved.

That is what those of superior intellect do to those of a lower order. 😛

You know how it is in my profession: If the facts are on your side, argue the facts. If the law is on your side, argue the law. If neither is on your side, make it personal....in other words, obfuscate. (but 95% of the time...if I am arguing it is because the facts are on my side. I know how to pick my arguments.

.. but your regular contributions of trivia and surveys and dumpster data dives are mainstays... Thank you for them.

In no particular order:

  • Mud does a lot of case building and we agree a lot, I like his stuff...
  • TCPO puts together the most cogent arguments here around angles that often do not occur to me...
  • In addition to being the funniest person here, Z, has a great command of Browns and league history...
  • For purely outrageous, original content, no one touches our mik... (t-shirt paid for in full, bud)...
  • Was going to add some honorable mentions, but just kept feeling I'd leave someone out, so I'll simply end with one currently less frequent visitor that I always enjoyed in my early days here... Harry Buffalo.

Austin Davis or Cardale Jones

1. Name any Browns game in history that you think was a more pathetic performance than the one this past week.

Bud Carson's last game. What was it, 46-0 and he walked off the field with his head hung about low as it could go (PS I didn't see the Jets game although it was on local TV)

2. Who do you think is the Browns QB to start the 2016 season?

Not currently on roster.

1 I remember many games where the Browns didn't play like they gave a damn.
Now, the last three years, they have been. They kick ass, maybe even over-hyped up
the last game. They just weren't ready yet, it may even be another game or two, before
a huge difference takes place.

2 Johnny is getting there, but McCown is already there. I wish we could have seen the results if he had
stayed in the game..

3 I don't know.

4 Yes, to Texas again, more like winter. Maybe stop over in West Munroe, La again where the Robertsons are. We may drive and just see sights along the way, since I'm getting a knee replacement in late Dec. Or fly, haven't decided. I'm less and less wanting to fly.
Last time we flew to Texas to see the father-in-law, I noticed after we were there for two days, that I had left the pepper spray in my carry on. I remember some official coming up to me and let me know that they needed to throw out my small, used toothpaste tube away, but it was no problem.
I really think he wanted to get an idea about me profile wise...or they never realized the pepper spray was right there. And, I left it with the father-in-law before coming back.
Well, we are going camping on the other side of Ohio with friends in three weeks
5 Oh, a lot of different guys, some who played the game, which I never did. Flugels and Tour, they know a lot, other guys who played, and some who just know a lot about football otherwise. I don't know "x's" and "o's", I just have observations, and some of em aren't all that off base....eh...hopefully. It would be easier to list trolls who have some sick desire to crap out our board.

Today's survey. Please give your answers:

1. Name any Browns game in history that you think was a more pathetic performance than the one this past week.

There have been a lot of bad games. Just about every single opener since 1999.

But the one game I was especially disappointed in was the game in 2007 vs. the Bengals....who were not good. Browns win and make the playoffs. Derek Andersen throws for like 4 ints. They really gave a poor effort that game for a team that had been playing so good.

2. Who do you think is the Browns QB to start the 2016 season?

Possibly not on the roster....but, what the hell: Austin Davis. He will turn into the new Kurt Warner. Duke Johnson will play like Marshall Faulk. Hawkins and Gabriel will become the next Torrie Holt and Isaac Bruce. How about them apples?

3. Do you think all of the Power5 college football conferences will adopt the policy being adopted by the Big Ten, that is: A. playing a minimum of 9 conference games. B. Mandatory scheduling of one of a team's 3 non-conference games against another P5 opponent. C. No longer permitting teams to schedule non FBS opponents.

If not...who will not adopt this policy and why?

Yes....there will be pressure to adopt this policy by all 5 conferences....but yes, the SEC will be the most reluctant to adopt it because they will not want to reduce their sugar intake (you know, cupcakes, creampuffs, cake walks)

4. Are you planning any fall travel this year? Where?

As noted, I will be going to Park City Utah, then to San Antonio Texas and beyond

5. Besides myself as I am #1 in most posts on this forum (CalFox has more posts...but mostly on the politics board) what 5 other participants here add the most relevant information here?

Actually, I will give Ten: Zombo, WSS, Miktoxic, Tour, Hoorta, Ballpeen, Mudfly, Woody, Flugel, Cysco Kid, and DieHard now that he has give up his swastika. There are others as well, so don't be offended if I didn't name you.

Woody?? He never even posts here.

That's pretty tough considering where we've been for so long, but recently the game vs. Indy last season when we came home from Atlanta at 7-4, hosting the Colts, and watching Hoyer suck beyond belief was a real bummer. Other games that come to mind ; @Cincy in 2007 when DA imploded, and 1972 vs the Dolphins in Miami when they outplayed the undefeated Dolphins, but 5 Phipps interceptions and a blocked punt did them in.

2. Who do you think is the Browns QB to start the 2016 season?

Johnny

3. Do you think all of the Power5 college football conferences will adopt the policy being adopted by the Big Ten, that is: A. playing a minimum of 9 conference games. B.

No,a policy isn't really a rule. You cannot take away a school's discretion on scheduling IMHO.

4. Are you planning any fall travel this year? Where?

Yes, Virginia, North Carolina, & West Virginia in our RV for some fall color, golf, hiking, & relaxation. Hopefully find a Browns Backer Bar to drown in as well.

There have been plenty. I remember a 2001 Steeler game where they just gutted us with the likes of Chris Fumoomoo Muthafucka and R. J. Bowers (off the street from Grove City college) We just gave up and let them run all over us. One of those end of the year games where they mailed it in.

Loss to the bengals last year. At least on sunday we had the lead, looked OK through the first quarter.

Manziel, no question in my mind as of right now.

I'm spending two weeks in Indonesia, leaving in a couple of weeks. Some buddhist temples, some volcano climbing, some snorkelling, should be grand.
