Somebody told me that they head that Haslem is dropping the name BROWNS, From now on the team will be known as the Cleveland Titanics, cuz they're sinking fast!
So now Jimmy has some big reorganisation plan. Seems to me the simplest thing to do would be to pick a team like the Steelers or the Patriots and copy what they are doing cuz it seems to work. They win championships after all. We can barely win a game for crying out loud. Larry, Curly and Moe could do a better job then this.

Well, one of the things you need is stability in the front office and at the coaching positions. Don't have that in Cleveland.

You are so right there Trevor. Like I said in an earlier post we've gone thru more GM's coaches and quarterbacks then Chardon has snowflakes and NOTHING ever gets better. That's why I say copy what the Steelers are doing because it WORKS! What the Titanics are doing ain't worth a shit. We just go from losing games to losing even more games. Next year lets try for 0 and 16.
I had to laugh. I was on the threadmill at the Y this morning. It has a TV screen where you can watch any number of channels and across the bottom of the screen they can program in messages, like 10 sessions with a personal trainer for X dollars, or whatever program they want to make people aware of. Today in big bold letters it said COACHES WANTED. I thought good God the Browns are so desperate they're looking for a new coach at the YMCA! When I read the fine print it was for coaches for a kids basketball league they are starting up.

Little bit of trivia here: Talking about football with a friend of mine from the Y and so I did a bit of research on google. The team we now know as the Los Angeles Rams began in Cleveland in 1936 and played here until 1945 before moving to L.A.
In that nine year time span we had SEVEN head coaches and ONE winning season, 1945 when we won the NFL championship. Other wise our record was as follows:
1936. 5-2-2 1937 1-10 1938. 4-7 1939. 5-5-1 1940. 4-6-1 1941. 2-9 1942. 5-6 1943. Play suspended due to WW2. 1944. 4-6 1945. 9-1
SO! Nothing new. Whole different team, same ole shit.
Hank.

More football trivia: On Sept 20, 1933 the Pittsburgh Steelers, know as the Pirates at the time came into existence. They changed their name to the Steelers prior to the 1940 season. They pretty much sucked back then, with their best season being .500. In fact the 1944 team went 0-10. So the Browns can't even match them as the worst team as we always manage to win a game somehow, God only knows.
The Steelers were always an NFL team, where as the Browns started out in the All American Football Conference and did not join the NFL until 1950. They did pretty well in AAFC winning a championship all four years, and from 1950 till 1955 played in every NFL championship game and winning three of them.
The first meeting of the Steelers and the Browns was Oct. 7, 1950 with the Browns winning 30 to 17. The Steelers first win against the Browns came in 1954.
Kinda funny, the Steelers started out terrible and as time went on got really good. The Browns started out really good and as time went on got really terrible.
Oh well, as all Cleveland sports fans are want to say: MAYBE NEXT YEAR! Yeah, sure.

Anybody know where the BROWNS can get 13 more quarterbacks? We seem to be going thru one a game. They are like an endangered species. This Sunday is game three and we're on our third QB.and he'll probably be killed. So what do we do the rest of the season?
I can see it now. Coach Jackson pointing to a fan in the stands: HEY YOU! YEAH YOU! In the Browns jersey with the hotdog and beer in his hand. Can you throw a football? Get your ass down here, here, take this helmet.
I didn't watch Sundays game but I saw it on the news. How the Hell do you go up 20 to 0 in the first quarter then score NOTHING the rest of the game and loss? Did the Steelers put on Browns uniforms and play the first quarter for us before going to their game with Cincy as a favor to us? OK guys, we got ya a nice lead, but we gotta go, hang in there, OK?

Anybody beside me planning on NOT watching the Super Bowl this Sunday? To me it is just another football game, over hyped to be sure, involving two teams I really have NO interest in. The bullshit will start around 9:00AM with the pre,pre,pre, pre, pre. game show, and continue on down to the pre. game show before the actual game starts that evening. The we have all the post game shows where all the talking heads tell you about what you just watched. CHRIST sake's people, it's just another football game. If they had played during the regular season ya probably wouldn't have even bothered watching it.
Looking back to a post I made last January where I said the Browns might try for a 0-16 record this year. WOW! How close I came to being correct.

Probably missed one of the most exciting Super Bowls in quite some time. Bunnie was watching it in the living room while I was in the bedroom watching DEADPOOL on DVD, and Mythbuster reruns on the Science channel. She'd yell out the numbers every time someone scored. At 21 to zero I figured N.E. was done for.
Came out to the living room to check the ice in Bunnie's machine when N.E. tied it up at 28 to 28 in the last few seconds of the game, then watched them win it in O.T. I can imagine fans of both teams were shitting their pants during the final few minutes of the game as it rarely ever comes down to the wire like that. Most Super Bowls are a lopsided blowout with scores like 40 to 10. They are hardly ever a close fought back and forth game which is why they're boring for the most part.

Talking with some of the guys at the gym we couldn't help but wonder if Hue Jackson doesn't have photos of Jimmy Haslem having sex with a monkey or something. How the Hell else do you keep your job with a 1 and 31 record? There have to be ex Browns coaches like Butch Davis, and Crennel and others thinking, "Hey, I won four games and they fired me, how the Hell is this guy keeping a job?"

WHAT WILL HAPPEN FIRST? You will sight BIGFOOT walking down the street in your neighborhood or the Browns will win a football game?
GIVE US YOUR BEST GUESS! My money's on Bigfoot. HANK
I hear the Browns have this thing going where when they WIN a game vending machines at the stadium and select bars will open and fans can have a FREE Bud Light. GOTTA WONDER, how long does it take for beer to get skunky? Might not wanna drink that stuff.

Well I guess I lost that bet. The Browns won a game and I've NOT seen Bigfoot. We'll have to wait and see if they can win any more. On a side note what is the plural of Bigfoot? Bigfeet/Bigfoots? Any guesses?
HANK.
