The movie itself was a parody. Putney turned the boardroom into Kwanza. I stand by my statements about JT and Kosar being called intelligent. Seriously, the guy, big heart not debated, was one of the dumbest fuckers to put his helmet on. His post NFL life has been a disaster.

The movie is funny as hell.

Some of the smartest people in history have not necessarily been "wealthy". Note this about perhaps one of the ten smartest men in the history of the human race:

Despite having sold his AC electricity patents, Nikola Tesla was impoverished and in debt when he died.

You are using your computer today via a system invented by Tesla.

So....being wealthy is not a matter of intellect.

Joe was a foundational pick... same as any LT. And he has been a great one. Anyone with a hint of ability to judge talent knows this.

That the Browns' organization has failed to build upon him is not Joe's fault.

I think both of these can be true without Thomas being one of the greatest of all times

I agree. Oher sucks. Oher is on his 3rd team in the last 3 years, and is about to be replaced at the end of this year.

Putney Swope is a classic black and white modern era movie. The movie centers around a corporation that has to choose a new CEO because the existing one died unexpectedly. In the board room the camera pans around the table from one executive to the next, and in an echoing voice, the viewer gets to hear the thoughts of each one while they ponder who they will vote for.

To a man, their individual thoughts are revealed to be the same.

1) None of them want the position, none of them want to be a part of voting for any other candidate. The view gets to hear them say, "I won't help that sonofabitch to get elected.

2) We then get to hear each of them ponder "who the hell can I vote for that nobody else will"? "How can I vote and not worry about having responsibility for the next CEO?"

3) One-by-one, all the execs come to the same conclusion... "I will vote for Swope.....the black guy....nobody is going to vote for that ass hole"

4) By unanimous decision...............Putney Swope is elected CEO.

Joe Thomas Is Putney Swope. Whether you like it or not, the NFL is a big political.boardroom/politically correct pile of horse shit. They disseminate propaganda and gullible fans, that would ESPECIALLY be Browns fans, gobble it up.

The fact of the matter is Joe Thomas is a decent player, not a great one. However, since 1999 the Browns do not have one single sustainable success story with which the NFL can take pride in itself with this team. JOE THOMAS is the Putney Swope of the NFL. If he played for New England, he would be recognized at his true level, just another B grade LT. He isn't Oher caliber.

He plays on a team where there is no spotlight. There is simply no other highlight to focus on. Joe Thomas is Putney Swope.

I always maintained that Kosar was also Putney Swope. The man had heart and courage, nobody can take that away from him. BUT, I always thought he was a mental midget. Calling him the most intelligent QB was like bragging about the titty bar dancer who you just learned was also a college student working on her Ph. D in cell Biology.

No announcer could, with any credibility compliment Kosar's athletic prowess, so they fabricated bullshit about his intelligence. Post NFL, we can see now that Ol' Ghoolie was again prolific, and the media was creating yet another Putney Swope.

Dude, I don't dislike Joe Thomas. What I lament is that this team is a joke, a disgrace to all that the Browns used to be, and here we are mentally masturbating about a fucking LT. And at that, one who is over rated. Oher didn't just protect the QB, he knocked guys on their ass on running plays. He was good at helping the outside running game. Joe Thomas is not that caliber of player. He IS fast, quick and has great balance. A great QB protector? I'll accept that. But a HOF caliber player? Putney Swope. That's what he is.

By the way................. can I make one more pitch for Santa to bring me the Carbon Face Breitling Chronomat 44 with a pilot Bracelet?

Interesting analysis. I think you are wrong about both JT and Kosar.....only being propped up because we have no one else better to hang our hat on.

But it is an interesting analogy.....for which I believe there well may be someone out there that fits the analogy.

And the first place I would look would be the Browns GMs and HCs over the last 15 years.

There is where I think you will find your Putney Swopes.

I do note that you did not say how well Swope did in his CEO job. Maybe he did great?

I am going to have to get that movie and watch it though.

1. Who was the worst Head Coach in Cleveland Browns history?

Probably Nick Skorich, Shurmur, or Buttichek. The latter is probably the worst. 😎

2. If you say that Alex Mack did not deserve his Pro Bowl slot.....who would you have replaced him with?

Nobody, Mack is solid and dominating when not coming back from injury.

3. Will Brandon Weeden lead the Texans into the playoffs?

lol. NO.

4. Joe Thomas has joined an elite group of players to have been selected to the Pro Bowl in their first 9 seasons.......ONLY Lawrence Taylor, Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, and Mean Joe Greene hold that distinction. Is it fair to say that Joe Thomas....despite being on bad teams, is one of the greatest players of all time?

Absolutely yes. I believe that's the players and coaches who know that Joe Thomas is on of the elite LT's.

5. What are you expecting Santa Claus to bring you?

A new knee. Dec 28th. Was told I really needed to have it about six years ago......but it's a lot worse. Now, my Wonderful

Cute Wife always gets me cool stuff. I think I matched her thoughtfulness and sense of humor this year. But now, this Dec, I'm on medicare and supplemental, they will pay 100%, so I'm glad I stuck it out.

Why, I should be going upstairs faster than Canton Mike next fall !

I believe it was his actions alone that have made us suffer over the last decade or so. The browns went from a young expansion team to record New lows that this team is still trying to recover from. Yea shurmer was bad but I believe heckert and Holmgren had failsafes in house to replace him almost seamlessly. (Oc and Dc coordinators). Removing those guys was Haslems first and biggest fuck up, to date.

1. Who was the worst Head Coach in Cleveland Browns history?

Chris Palmer

2. If you say that Alex Mack did not deserve his Pro Bowl slot.....who would you have replaced him with?

He didn't impress much but many of the chosen were off previous years and reputation. Like Travis Kelce! Give me a break!

3. Will Brandon Weeden lead the Texans into the playoffs?

Yes he will for 3 reasons. 1) JJ Watt 2) Colts suck with and without Andrew Luck. And we thought Farmer didn't know how to draft?

3) Lousy division GO TEXANS! GO WEEDEN!

4. Joe Thomas has joined an elite group of players to have been selected to the Pro Bowl in their first 9 seasons.......ONLY Lawrence Taylor, Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, and Mean Joe Greene hold that distinction.

No it's not fair to say that! How many playoffs, division titles or Super Bowl rings did he bring to Cleveland?

One the best Tackles off all-time.



Only Roaf, Ogden and Munoz have been to more PBs as OTs than JT.



Note that Jim Brown not on above list: He only played 9 years.....but still made PB all 9 years.

I have to go with Crennel. May have had the X's and O's, but I saw no leadership qualities in him... none.

2. If you say that Alex Mack did not deserve his Pro Bowl slot.....who would you have replaced him with?

Nick Mangold would be a good, defendable bet...

No... Hoyer will be back to lead them.
