Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that the POS is indeed a Non-Cleveland fan, or NCF for short.
I tend to agree. If he's not miserable, he's not happy.

Besides, I like X-Files and don't want the POS N-CF associated with Fox Mulder so I wanted a different nickname for N-CF.

Kyle Rudolph just signed a monster extension.

Should make Cameron cost an arm and 2 legs now.

Nice to see Farmer being aggressive and letting everyone else set the market for him on the going rate of a tight end.

The next pro-active GM we get in this town will be the first.

This weekend at Mid-Ohio for the IndyCar race, I'll have to talk to the biggest Browns fan in our group. A guy with a big RV who goes to every home game and some road ones and whose basement is essentially a Cleveland shrine.

I'll have to ask him what his opinion on a Browns fan cheering for Pittsburgh for any reason (barring "neither team is in contention, but Pittsburgh beating Baltimore would fuck them over too"), let alone a personal disagreement with whom the potential starting QB coming into the season might be. I'll be sure to report back after the weekend, as long as there aren't too many words in his response censored by the site (since he might just say "fucking c*nt" repeatedly).

Appreciate your due diligence but I think we already have the answer to this one.

I don't know what he said, but I'm sure it was both: 1) Unbelievably dumb and 2) extremely negative.

Typical N-CF

How about trader ray getting an additional first for moving down 7 slots? No credit there?

Slight fix (not sold on him as a good QB).

Manziel has thrown 2 INT's today so far... Just saying, he's a rookie and rookies make mistakes. There IS a learning curve, despite what Iggy appears to think.

That first rounder does us alot of good this year when we have a crop of cripples at WR and we passed on a franchise caliber one knowing we desperately needed it.

Nothing screams "wait until next year" like Farmer's moves.

It's OK though, because he was busy showing the league like the last regime that he is smarter than everyone else by not drafting a WR knowing we had a gaping chasm at the position.

He really showed them though.

I'd say "I'd love to show you the way to the 480 Bridge" but with all of your doom & gloom, I'm sure you don't need directions. :rolleyes:

Hell,with some browns fans like this you dont need fans from other teams coming into browns discussions to rip on them!

Browns are in the right direction, there is no doubt. How well they do will be determined by how effective they drafted and evaluated talent in the middle rounds. It is "easy" to evaluate the so called bigger stars but those mid round guys are extremely important.

I was going to sponsor a shuttle service to it had we not drafted Johnny. I almost wish they hadn't now since it was done as nothing more than a tease to Cleveland fans and a way to grease Jimmy's pockets with jersey sales.

I still have some connections in the wrestling business. If you can find a tag team partner we could bill you as "Bitch & Moan."

I like that idea.

We could have a big steaming pile be the team mascot.

Team BM.

We already have a Goldberg knockoff as our head coach, we could add it to our gimmick.

He was never going anywhere, and that comes from personally talking to his agent.

Joe Banner would never have given him the contract he got, and anyone with any knowledge of Banner's history knows that. The calculus changed when he was fired.

You don't have any knowledge, that's the problem. Go jump off the bridge please.

Sounds like Manziel picked it up towards the end of today's session and actually did much better than yesterday. Hoyer still has a firm lead in this race. Also sounds like Josh Gordon did a lot of work with the 1's? Hmmmmm
