  • Joe was in the building today working with Shon Coleman ........ retired but still lending a hand 🙂

  • Sweet... should sign him as a OL Asst. Coach...

    ... even tho it'd destroy my growing "Hue's staying made Joe go" feeling.

  • Joe is going to have so many roles with this browns organization it is not going to be funny. Seriously, people will probably see him more now than ever before. Mark my words in 30 years, people will recognize Joe for his media work first before they realize how amazing of a player he was.

    Well....they have not retired other HOFers....so I don't think they will retire Joe's ..   Of guys that didn't die....causing their number to be retired....only 32 for JB, 76 for Groza, and 14 for Otto are retired.     82 for Ozzie not.  44 for  Kelly not.   42 for Warfield not.  Or anyone else.

    Except maybe since the BROWNS are coming out of the worst black hole in team history, maybe NFL history.  PR move?

    Well, the dictum from the league was to go easy on retiring numbers.  We'd have a long way to go to catch the Bears with their 14 retired numbers. I think they wanted to retire Ozzie's number, but he declined.

    I think they should retire Ozzies # after he passes away.. I think it would be a class move...

    Class, yes.  But what good would that do Ozzie.  No....if that happens...do it while he is alive.

    Its kind of like this:

    The "banned" Shoeless Joe Jackson from the HOF  "for life".    But the SOB has been dead since the 50s.    His "life" is over.   So...why should the ban continue?   They still seem to want to punish him 65 years after he has been dead?   Who is being punished?  Other than MLB punishing themselves over it....by denying a great player his rightful place.   (particularly since his role in "the scandal" was questionable in the first place)

    All the same.. I still think they can find a unique way to honor his life... And his career...

    Nothing but class. . .

    Its controversial, jackson might've not even participated in the fixing of the 1919 world series, but he definitely probably knew about it. The commissioner back then banned anyone who even knew about it and didn't rat out their teammates. Jackson also tried to tell his GM before it happened but the dude wouldn't listen.

    Poor Shoeless Joe

    Three of the top 10 season grades we've ever given to a tackle belong to one man.
    See you in Canton Joe Thomas, an all-time great.

    Nah, Ozzie blows. Just ask Tom Flugel. Flugel assured us that with Phil Sewage coming to Cleveland Ozzie would be exposed as riding the coat tails of Phellatio Phil.

  • Joe Thomas blows. He made no impact on the Browns in any measurable way. Putting him in the HOF is like giving away an award for participation. That's all the guy did. He showed up. Average lardass lineman.

    Hey Jackoff, I never said the O Line was not important. What I said was, Offensive Linemen are a dime a dozen. They are the least talented players in Pro Sports. Joe Thomas will not be missed. He didn't add one fukcing ting to the Browns offense. Fukc Joe Thomas.

    I imagine Ghoolie Is the human version of someone who has herpes getting another outbreak.

    You know you have it, but just pray it stays away, but when it comes back you remember how awful it is.

    So, let me get this right...............you spend your time formulating images of my Sock? The fact that you spend a single moment in your life IMAGINING ANYTHING about another man, is..................fukcking weird.

    in this image you concoct, do you count the pustules on my nuts? Do you dream of me porking your wife while you look on? Tell us, penis boy...........what other thoughts about my massive, Ukrainian Keilbassa do you fantasize about?  So, you are a homo, and you spend your time thinking about Ghoolie's Gonads.

    Fukced up dude, REALLY fukced up.

    I can honestly say, I have never spent one moment imagining anything about your fukcing homos. I don't care to know your names, what guys you like to rim, what you look like, what you do for a living, etc, etc, etc,....................I have never spent even one moment reading anyone's profile, and I sure as hell have never spent one click of a mouse trying to find out about " the real you".

    Fukcing idiots.

    Yawn...

    You are an attention-craved troll. You practically ran to this board trying to elicit sympathy from these "fukcing homos" when your mom died. You begged the owner of this board to let you come back when you got kicked off. You literally are the human version of herpes. 

  • 18 starting QB's..how many RB's?  https://factoryofsadness.co/2017/09/17/cleveland-browns-joe-thomas-blocked-many-rbsfbs/   still waiting on that list of flatened DE's😛

  • Joe Thomas may be the biggest lapse in judgment in NFL history.  The Browns wasted a top draft, trade possibilities and money on a left tackle that protected no one for a team that won more than 5 games once in his career.  When the team finally looks like they are making moves, he retires.  There is no denying that Thomas might go down as one of the best LT in NFL history but his story mirrors why the Browns suck.

    Joe you got paid, never had to play under pressure and will retire beloved in Cleveland....wish they would've traded you to the Broncos for a 2nd rounder in 2015
