@bob806 said:Crowell's 26 yard TD run was spectacular. Greg Pruitt flashback. Crow is Pruitt-ish... kind of a mix of Greg and Mike... @texasag1969 said:Amen to that. Best overall pick in anybodies draft right now. ... especially since he was an UFA signing..

Shouldn't professional athletes in this day and age be in shape all year round? It's not like the 60's and 70's where they had jobs outside football and came to practice 50 lbs over weight.

To those that were at the weekend - you're all stars - can't wait to see you next season. To those who weren't, maybe see you under the bridge next year. As always - GO BROWNS! Howie. awesome dude let me and Joe play next yreat

@bringbackbrownie2 said: Pat and Kevin. But did they win the appeal or at least get it reduced? Wiki says no, but it dragged on for two years- and they were allowed to play in the meantime.

Fuk him and everyone else thats Hates us One day we will Prevail!!!!!

Zombo said: While Jim Brown played fullback, Leroy Kelly lined up as halfback when he replaced Jim Brown. Ernie Green switched from Brown's blocking halfback to Kelly's fullback. Bo Scott later played Fullback to Kelly's halfback as well. Zombo OK, so, there was your Black Power Sweep. Given the results of the era, the White Power Sweep got the better of the Black Power Sweep...not that the Black Power Sweep did poorly. Or maybe it was Linguine Power that ruled that era. I.e. Lombardi served up a pretty good Italian dish.

@the-gipper said: I agree and go further. It would not pain me if the Browns replaced every LB on their team. Perhaps even do what we did with the DL last year: draft 2 LBs with our first two picks like when we drafted Taylor and Sheard. Or at least draft one with one our first round picks and another with our second round pick. Here are the LBs that may be available in the first round, early second round when the Browns will be drafting: Vontaze Burfict AZ St. Luke Kuechley Boston College Manti Te'o Notre Dame Zach Brown NC Whitney (Ming the) Mercilus Illinois Donta Hightower Alabama Ronnell Lewis Oklahoma Courtney Upshaw Alabama Would anyone here object if we got any two of these with the Browns first 3 picks? Here are some other players that various of the Mock Drafts have said the Browns may take: Trent Richardson RB Ala Michael Floyd WR ND Alshon Jeffrey WR S. Carolina Mohamed Sanu WR Rutgers Jarius Wright WR Arkansas Kelechi Osemele OT Iowa St. The Browns look to almost be sure to have 3 picks of the first 40 in the draft. Pick any 3 of the players above. I like Burfict,Kuechly and Brown..in the second tier i only take Floyd in the 2nd or bottom of the first and pass on Jeffery not what im looking for...Richardson is a luxury and RBs are easy to grab later on...Look for A top CB here (Minnifeild) or id like to see Broyles with the 2nd round pick like him better than Jeffery or Sanu or Wright...

@cowsrus said: Wow Howie! That was an awesome 10 minutes! I see you all have a great time. It was great to put faces and voices to screennames. Kathy, I thought you'd chug that but you did better than I could, Zombo, hope you're feeling better. Rich? What can I say? This was 10 minutes full of smiles, drinking orange sh*t and amateur gay porn with beer bongs and hot dogs lol. I forgot how windy it can get by the lake in November too. Thanks again for posting it! Go Browns! Pleasure Heidi and thanks for the kind words. It's getting tough travelling all that way to see games where we don't even land a TD though - oh well - there's always next year.

@wrrebel said: Great there goes our most explosive player... As much as I hate your crying lately, that was funny.

Although my credits don't reflect it, I've been a member of this board since around 2005. I was one of those who kept suggesting that the Browns draft Thomas... I was one of the charter members of the Joe Thomas camp.. It may have been the only time I was correct on this board (just kidding of course).. Peace T.Dawg ***************** Oh, NOW I remember you were ! (been working on the farm too strenuously)

Brown appeals dismissal Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO -- NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown is asking a San Francisco appellate court to overturn a federal judge's decision to dismiss his lawsuit against video game maker Electronic Arts. Brown filed the request Tuesday with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He argues U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper was erroneous when ruling in September that Electronic Arts was protected by First Amendment rights when it created a character similar to Brown for its Madden NFL video games. The former Cleveland Browns great's 2008 lawsuit argued his trademark rights were violated by the game. The 74-year-old played nine seasons with the Browns before becoming an actor and then an activist. Cooper died in January of lymphoma. Electronic Arts spokesman Jeff Brown told The New York Times in an e-mail that the company is confident Cooper's ruling will be upheld.

It does, but the team still has to operate inside a cap....whatever cap Lerner has on the operation. I don't care what the guy is worth, the team still has a operating budget. He isn't going to start shifting millions of dollars because Lawrence Vickers wants a few million more and we don't have it under the current budget.

I agree, been a fan since I stumbled across Thickfreakness in 2003, from that moment I was hooked. looking forward to Monday and the new album.

Haha, I was just kidding, got you Ruban2 ************************************* ROF,L ! Yes, you did. My bad. @@

Browns' fans rooted for and excepted Jamal Lewis. He was from a place far worse than Michigan and he was without a doubt hated before he arrived. To say fans have a bias against a player because of where he is from is just petty bullshit. All we want is a guy that plays hard and shows some respect towards the franchise.

@howiedawg said:I didn't see this elsewhere in any thread , apologies if it has been posted already: From Clevelandbrowns.xom: Here are the Browns' 2010 opponents. Dates and times will be released in the spring. (My predictions!) Home: Baltimore(W), Cincinnati(W), Pittsburgh(W), New England(L), N.Y. Jets(W), Atlanta(W), Carolina(W), Kansas City(W) Away: Baltimore(L), Cincinnati(W), Pittsburgh(L), Buffalo(W), Miami(W), New Orleans(L), Tampa Bay(W), Jacksonville(W) So that's a 12-4 season for us, can't wait, bring on the draft. Seriously, this is a decent opponent list. i can't believe it! you mean we don't play the bears, the raiders or the lions this upcoming season?! it seemed like ateleast 2 out of those 3 teams were automatically put on the browns schedule every season.

The video was awesome....I even made my wife watch the whole thing. Of course, she's never coming with me now after seeing all you nutjobs...but she did think it was funny.

It would be wise for your coach to devise a gameplan against the Bengals using short pass routes instead of deep ones. Our corners are among the best in the business. Why throw into the strength of the defense. Take the short stuff and march down the field. But then that is just how I would play it. We have also seemed to have abandoned the blitz and I am not sure why. I think if Brady keeps dinking and dunking his way down the field it will be a long day for my boys. It serves two purposes. It gets you scores and it chews the clock keeping Palmer sidelined. A quarterback can not beat you from the bench. @ebenezer said:If Eric Mangina were here he would accuse you of cheating.

WOW.. I cannot believe this thread is still alive with this childish BS back and forth.. Why do you guys even respond to the stupid squeeler fans.. The fact that they are on a browns board at all just shows how pathetic they are. There is football being played guys..the season has started.. focus on that.. PLEEEEZE
