The thread is just insufferable. I'm not really asking to ban them, I guess. Just wish the same post isn't regurgitated over and over by the same two clowns.

Fred Greetham ‏ @ FredGreethamOBR 6m # Browns Pettine said "there's a process and we have to go through it" Uh Oh! The 'P' word
From the Pettine conference call.

If he's talking about "process" already then things are far worse in Berea than we already know. That word should not be allowed to be uttered by any Browns coach.

Serious question--is there actually any moderating being done now, or is the site basically moderating itself?

I do very little. Not sure on the others. I went dark when I moved down to NC and got busy with a new job...a month later there was little being done, so I didn't feel the need to interfere.

The site has gotten out of hand, but it isn't any less popular because of it, so fuck it...lol

Vic Travagliante just signed off on The Fan. He pointed out that not only did Manziel outperform Hoyer in all 3 preseason games stat wise, but also whipped him in the Family Day scrimmage in Akron.

I've held off on blasting you...until now. All you ever do here is bitch about everything. It's been your mantra here for 5 years. Now you want Pettine fired after 3 preseason games? You're an idiot.

I will not engage you in juvenile insults. It appears you have enough playmates already for that. You are now on the ignore list.

That is an insult to me.

Footwedge is a troll.

I am a purveyor of truth and righteousness in a landscape of posters yearning to be educated.

Yes, continue your education course on firing a head coach before he coaches one fucking game.

You're right. It's a better idea to waste 2 years figuring out what I already knew. The guy is in way over his head and has no business having the job he has. Like everything wrong with the Haslam regime so far he is a byproduct of Joe Banner and needs to be exiled.

I occasionally mod the fuck out of spam threads. And neg CCrunner and Isadore to make sure they stay red. I leave other duties to the gods.

No one else does more than clean spam anymore either.

As mentioned elsewhere, no one gives a shit anymore, this thread included. So no, we're not going to ban someone, especially considering being a delusional asshole doesn't break a rule even if anyone did give a shit.

I have had both on "ignore list" for a long time now. Makes this thread enjoyable.

I don't mind footwedge. His posts bring the unintentional lulz from time to time and he doesn't post as much. I have actually seen him post somewhat unbiased stuff when he wants to (especially in the Tribe threads).

IQQY has his troll game down, and most people fall for it (notice how last year he was nowhere to be found when the browns were 3-2?). I normally just scroll down when I see him post, but it's getting to the point where he is somehow drowning everyone else out and i have to find everyone else's posts. There really are only 2 ways to get rid of IQQY. 1. Have the Browns win, or 2. Block him. Seeing that the Browns probably won't bring us a winning season, I am just going to block him. I don't care if others won't, but I will be sure to let you all know how much more enjoyable this thread is with him blocked.

Anyway, enough about some dumb piece of shit cry baby. I didn't get to watch the game last night. Can someone give me a quick synopsis of how each side of the ball did. Was the defense THAT bad, or were they giving up a lot of yards because they were playing a very vanilla scheme?

Just officially added IQQY to the list, and after scrolling thru this page, i do not regret it.

I'm doing the same. If he'd at least respond and not just post the same QQ fail rant every time while being a welching POS I wouldn't consider it.

I welcome everyone blocking me, because when Pettine is fired for being exactly what I said he was you all will be back to apologize and ask forgiveness for ever having doubted me.
