August 4, 200915 yr No peeps= good. remember last year there was something on ESPN EVERY week about the browns, whether is was staph, quitting, pieces of meat, injuries, etc. Since Mangini has taken over its appears been all business and no external or leaked subplots. Im loving it, and as a result the fans have kept quiet and just go about getting ready for the season. I fixed that for you as I've heard a few things. But, then again or people are snooping for things.
August 4, 200915 yr I've not commented (or even visited this thread) until now because I'm not very interested in the Browns anymore. They are going to have to give me a reason to care again. As for Eric Mangini, I was disappointed with him being hired by the Browns. I hope I'm wrong about him.

August 4, 200915 yr I went to camp on Sunday. Talk about all business. No messing around, no horseplay (Braylon racing jailbird Stallworth with no shoes on). Practice ran over the 3:30 pm end time by at least 30 minutes bc Mangini didn't like what he saw. I left before they ended bc I was roasting. There's obviously a new sheriff in town. That said, there were balls all over the field, neither QB nor receivers were very impressive. Line looked good. I love watching those guys grit it out. They didn't look great, but hey, they're BACK!
August 4, 200915 yr KJP you have stated your case against the browns before and it is a very compelling case. We'll keep you posted if they happen to catch lightning in a bottle this year.
August 16, 200915 yr 4 more quarters without an offensive touchdown. The streak could have been broken in the 2nd quarter, but Stone Hands struck again.
August 16, 200915 yr Anderson might as well just give Quinn the job the way he looked last night against a third-string defense.
August 16, 200915 yr Quinn has 6.32 million reasons to become the Browns starter Posted by Mike Florio on August 16, 2009 12:27 PM ET Two years ago, Browns quarterback Brady Quinn missed ten days of camp as his agent and the team haggled over an appropriate contract. The problem was that Quinn slid into the twenties on draft day, and that he wanted to get himself in position to make much more than his slot would otherwise dictate, if he were to become the week-in, week-out starter. In the end, Quinn inked a deal that tied significant dollars to playing time. Specifically, if he participated in 55 percent of the snaps as a rookie or in his second year, his 2010 salary would escalate by $5 million.

August 16, 200915 yr mangini seriously needs to name quinn the starter, give the offense time to gel......
August 16, 200915 yr ^ Won't happen this week unless Quinn just looks amazing and Anderson continues to look like shit, my guess is in the next 7-10 day range he will name Quinn.
August 16, 200915 yr It's going to be another long season but I am still excited for it. All I ask is that they improve over last season... I would love it if they could finally get a win over those darn Steelers. They did look pretty bad last night and I expected a lot more out of Anderson.
August 23, 200915 yr Dereck Anderson=Dr Jeckel/Mr Hyde ... dude can suck one week and look brillant the next. Brady Quinn does not look determined enough to become the starter..
August 23, 200915 yr Dereck Anderson=Dr Jeckel/Mr Hyde ... dude can suck one week and look brillant the next. Brady Quinn does not look determined enough to become the starter.. Good to know absolutely nothing has changed in the last year... maybe next year. :drunk:
August 23, 200915 yr i watched this game while we were at the lake erie crushers baseball game in avon. two sports for one - lol! the upper deck patio had a big screen tv you could see from our seats and they were making game progress announcements. the sarcastic crowd commentary after each announcement about the browns game was pretty funny.
August 24, 200915 yr it was the Lions in a preseason game, lets not get our hopes up. ok..... but we were what? 3-13 last year? I was at the game on Saturday and that's ALL I heard people saying. The Patriots can use the 'its just the lions in the preseason' I think we need to build on any success we have.
August 24, 200915 yr success only counts when there is a "W" in the win column during in the regular season!
August 24, 200915 yr success only counts when there is a "W" in the win column during in the regular season! What's that? A W? I think they are dead in the water even if they start playing mediocre football being in the same division as Pittsburgh and Baltimore. That's 4 losses right there.

W=win? Lawd!
August 24, 200915 yr Sorry I forgot the smiley face for sarcasm. My brother kept texting during the game and annoying me because he was getting all worked up about how good they looked. Anderson gets a hot hand against Detroit, excuse me for not getting excited. We will see how they do this week. I watched two minutes of that game and saw exactly what I needed to see. I turned in on at the end of the half to watch Anderson rocket in two 8 yd passes and then turn it over. That being said. Go Browns!
August 24, 200915 yr Anyone at the game notice how drunk Hollie Strano appeared to be while doing the weather forecast on the field? Mark Nolan had to cut her off, then she stumbled off the field.
August 25, 200915 yr Anyone at the game notice how drunk Hollie Strano appeared to be while doing the weather forecast on the field? Mark Nolan had to cut her off, then she stumbled off the field. No way!, Now I wished I had watched the game.
August 27, 200915 yr The Nolan/Strano weather report that we saw was on the jumbotron, I don't think it was on TV. Though I was hoping it was somehow. She was stumbling towards us after they were done in the east endzone and had to walk the length of the field to get to the exit by the west endzone.
August 27, 200915 yr Just a sarcastic remark that popped into my head... "She probably shouldn't have agreed to do a shot for every point the Browns scored. Usually that it safe bet, who knew?"
August 27, 200915 yr i was hoping it'd have the Lions. after all, the last time either was good it was back then.
August 28, 200915 yr haha -- now thats what real football is. what book was that? i think we had it too, or at least i've seen that picture before.

August 29, 200915 yr 4-12 .... 6-10... two losses to Pitt. Same 'ole shi!!... BUT, maybe they will do a fluke and go 9-7... or better..... ................. ......... Nahhhhhh! I will watch highlights of 60's BROWNS teams and Paul Warfield.
August 29, 200915 yr You enabled them by giving nonsensical options :wink: I know....some peoples kids! Cant take them anywhere! :whip:
August 31, 200915 yr I also guess 7-9. I don't think the browns are more than a .500 team. If they break even I'll be happy.
August 31, 200915 yr i'm also going with 7-9. We still aren't any good... but we've got one of the easiest schedules in the league.
August 31, 200915 yr There's a couple games on the schedule that they better win, and a handful of others that ought to be interesting. I'm going with 5-11, but I'll be overjoyed if they can pull off .500.
