10 th
Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Cleveland Browns Stadium | Cleveland, OH
Kickoff: 8:20 PM EST | TV/Radio: NFL Network/100.7 FM/WMMS | Line: PIT (-10.5)
A month ago, there would not even have been a glimpse of hope for tonight’s game. Couple a few injuries for the Steelers with a “not terrible” game last week for the Browns, and this one actually raises a few eyebrows.
Feel free to follow along in the comments, folks. You know the rules.
Go Browns!

Couple a few injuries for the Steelers with a “not terrible” game last week for the Browns
That = TRAP DON’T FALL FOR IT
I hope we win (or show… wish I could bet on them to place instead) … but this game has inconsistency written all over it and I just don’t trust the Browns not to rip out my heart Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom stype.
Let’s Go Brownies!!
Brian Kelly? Really, Notre Dame??
I hate you Hines Ward … that is all for now
Nullster you just made my day. Literally laughed out loud. I’ve also had to redirect my anger toward Ward ever since “the bus” left town.
ESPN reporting that Hines might suit up for tonight. Can’t decide if that is good or bad for us; is a hobbled Hines Ward a threat to be accounted for? Or just a body taking up space?
Evan Moore is our best offensive threat, Nullster. would you rather have a hobbled Hines or a mighty Moore?
I think I’d rather have Ward sitting on the bench.
Eric Berry just took home the Jim Thorpe award. I’m a fan of his work.
I like the way he’s put together.
@ saggy – even though ND has lost a lot of its luster in recent years it’s an obvious step up the coaching ladder. I hope UC gets a good coach and continues to be a top-25 team (just so that the Bucks’ beating them every September works out well for SOS). My issue with it is his not staying for the bowl game. I understand that the future is their only hope and they need to retain recruits, but still – seems lame.
Let Ward play. I hope someone lays him out.
I am in DC. How is the weather there?
I agree Scott, I really like Berry too.
@ Mark – here in DC it is cold and very windy. How is the weather there, where you are?
Mark…….it’s frickin’ freezing Mr. Bigglesworth
If we end up with Suh or Berry I will be quite pleased. I am a UT fan and have been going to games for many years – about 15 years in a row now. I have seen a lot of players go through there (Manning, Jamal Lewis, Al Wilson, Haynesworth, Mayo, etc) but I’m not sure I’ve seen a better pro prospect than Berry. He will dominate.
There’s been a Time Warner Cable outage in Strongsville for a couple hours. All we get is the color bars. Anybody got a link to watch?
Now Denny, you know what I mean.
who in the HELL would go to the game tonight? You couldn’t pay me to leave this warm house to head downtown and sit on icy plastic chairs drinking watered-down piss-flavored Miller Lite for $7, waiting 20 minutes in between TV timeouts to see two mediocre teams hand the ball off up the middle again and again and again.
There is plenty of alcohol that could get me to this game
Locally the game is on WKYC Channel 3 as well if that helps anyone.
I hope someone (Anyone) knocks the smile off Hines Wards goofy-looking mug.
LMAO @ ReepJP by the way. Frickin Hilarious.
Or as Grandpa says: “Colder than a well digger’s butt.”
Here we go Brownies Here we go!!!
Ndomukong Suh is cleaning up awards as well. Bendarik as well as Outland.
Mark- let’s get Suh and Berry!
SQUEEEEEEEL!!!!! BRADY QUINN SIGHTING!!!!!!!
(Dreamboat!)
oh man……Eye-on Eagle and Randy Cross have the radio call for nfl.com. Must get to a bar with a tv quickly….
There oughta be an NCAA rule against leaving before a Bowl game or somethin… very [WFNY Edit: poopy]. I don’t blame the guy for taking the money/job, but man… what a way to take the wind out of the sails of the UC team. I’ll be shocked if they give Florida a game now…
All is not lost. We got a first down!
nfl.com/live has the game if you want to watch it on your computer.
And Robert Royal starting, really?!?
Brrr…looks frosty in the Land of Cleve. Wouldn’t blame the receivers for a few Edwards….er drops tonight.
Whatever happened to the NFL’s flex scheduling? I thought Thur night games were subject to change pending watchability?
And what’s wrong with Zastudil still? I got his jersey cuz nothing says STUD like ‘pinning it inside the 20′.
Ok, I lied. Apparently nfl.com/live only breaks in periodically. The rest of the time you have to listen to terrible announcers or watch commercials.
I believe it’s a knee injury, but he’s on the IR – out for the year.
Thanks…you can tell I’ve been paying attention.
Evan Moore looks like a keeper.
Really? This is the weather Daboll decides to go deep?
Poteat makes a GOOD play??? Unpossible.
WOW THAT POTEAT IS A GOOD PLAYER!
I really thought he was going to get the record on that.
Go Go Gadget Cribbs!
any chance of an internet feed?
http://www.justin.tv/jizoo_1 but this annoying message keeps covering the middle of the screen.
If they can never throw to Robert Royal ever again, unless he’s standing in the endzone wide open while everyone is on the other side of the field, that would be great.
And it’s behind Gamecast by a little, so it’s well behind the actual game.
Hey guys, check out channelsurfing.net….BY FAR, BEST sports site on the net . works 95% of the time…and you might need to download TVU plud-in, but it’s safe AND effective. ENJOY!!!
GO BROWNS!!!!!!!!!!!
“Off the hands of Robert Royal” is almost becoming a cliche since we hear it so often.
Anyone else pump the fist for the off sides knowing that’s all we’d get?
Last time we played them that was a first down
You guys know they’re showing it on nfl.com right?
I’ve already reached the limit of number of screens I want to see in a single game.
Don’t they only do live look-ins on nfl.com? I didn’t think you actually got to watch the whole game.
Sittng in a bar with steeler losers all around. Quietly pumping fist.
ya but its more than if you have no feeds
Of course we’re all wearing shorts.
What?
http://www.zomse.net/28.htm
Two annoying flashing banners but the picture is good. Ha, apparently its from SkyTv (UK).
——————————-
Have there been any Robiskie sightings?
If we win this game I’m going to throw up.
There’s the Poteat we know and love. Bum.
bring the pressure Rob Ryan and a bunch of guys I just heard of!!! I don’t know if the weather is the equalizer here, but the defense is really impressive right now
Not sure if it’s me, but Jennings reminds me of Mack.
I am stunned. We are dominating. We’ve controlled the whole game. D looks great.
Are you kidding me? We’re up at the half, by 10? I must be dreaming….
In an unrelated story, 2008 Cleveland Browns MVP (Dave Zastudill A.K.A. Mr. Clutch) is still on the IR. In turn, the Cleveland Browns Fans named Josh Cribbs (The One Man Team) the 2009 team MVP.
Wow….the D looks pretty good actually. Offense isn’t putrid. Who are these guys?
MM NK
Rob Ryan is actually doing something with these new guys. We are getting this pressure WITHOUT Rogers. WITHOUT Rogers.
every 1st down is a run . . . again!
Here comes the offense I recognize. A play action on pass on first down is not illegal
Mike Furrey covering Santonio Holmes?????
@JJ in DC…it’s you. Cuz nobody here reminds me of Baab, Byner, Langhorne, Slaughter, Brennan, Michael Dean Perry or Chip Banks. Stop it with the nostalgia.
We’re losing our momentum.
I’m crying on the inside, because my outside is frozen solid.
It’s so nice to see us getting pressure on the QB
Can someone please explain to me why Mangini accepted that penalty? It worked out but still it was dumb.
Cribbs and quinn relly want to win this game.
I’m not so sure about anyone else
and if I see one more 1st down run up the middle I’m going to cry.
@historycat can’t agree more, Cribbs is digging deep 200+ total yards for him insane
This running out the clock strategy is absolutely retarded. We need another score to put it away and they are playing insanely conservatively.
I’m amazed that it took us over 4:00 to move 25 yards. That’s just absurd. And dumb.
Please don’t screw this up. We need this.
Can this not be one of those inexorable drives for a score pls?
That was so incredibly close to a pick.
MAIAVA GOT A SACK, HE’S WORTH THE SECOND-ROUND PICK!
This sucks.
Goodbye, Suh.
This would be, like, the worst way to beat the Steelers. When they’re in a down year and the Browns are playing meaningless games with a coach nobody wants and losing the first overall pick with a win?
Comes to one 3rd and nineteen. What are our chances now?
One more hold….One more hold…PLEEEEAAAASE!
Breaking the one of the longest loss streaks in the NFL against a team in your division that you have a lot of history with is not meaningless.
PLEASE LOSE!!!!! PLEASE! You know what’s worst than the financial commitment of the first overall pick?
The financial commitment of the second overall pick.
F*CK! OUR. COLLECTIVE. LIVES.
I’ll take beating the Steelers over the number one pick any day. I know it’s irrational but I don’t care. I can’t take another loss to them.
Bill Simmons was right to ask…what did Cleveland ever do to you, God?
Really? What?
Hey Jack, family friendly blog. Plus, there is no Lebron James in football, not worth losing to the Steelers.
Aaaand that’ll do it FOLKS!!!! (possibly)
Oh and if thie really keeps them out of the playoffs. Then absolutely worth it.
I am Jack’s raging bile duct
Holy Cow- It is worth loosing the 1st pick!
Bust out Berry, here we come!!!
You are all ridiculous for hoping the Browns win. Stop reading ‘Moneyball’ crap and realize that we suck.
Oh, its BEAUTIFUL knocking the Steelers out of playoff contention.
I don’t really care about the pick, it’s the possibility of keeping Mangini I’m not happy with. Maybe he can take this opportunity to ride off into the sunset and retire. There’s very little chance he’ll accomplish anything more endearing to the fans.
We know we suck. But beating the pitspuke, and keeping them out of the playoffs.
Winter will not be as cold this year.
I am Jack’s ridiculous sense of certitude.
Anyhow, it’s always nice to beat the Steelers.
Sorry, I’m done ranting.
The Steelers are big black poopies (for our family friendly advocates!)
Who knows, we might be Berry Berry good next year.
Waiting for next year…when I hear Goodell say: “With the second overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns select Jimmy Clausen, quarterback, Notre Dame.”
So long, Suh.
Finally a good punt…
Cribbs for MVP!
I am Jack’s overarching negativity
Oh, and now that he basically carried 2/3 of the team on his back in the biggest win in years, can Cribbs FINALLY get his money?
Food tastes a little better right now
Yes.
I GOT A FEEELINNGGG WOOOO HOOOO
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Who cares, we beat Pittsburgh for the first time in forever.
Not rooting for the Browns to win against our most hated rival is semi-ridiculous. I am thrilled that we won, sacking Ben 8 times! C’mon folks, this is gold!
so this season can be considered a success, right?
No, b, it cannot.
Anderson’s Win: 2/3, 23 yds, 0 TD, 1 INT over the Bills
Quinn’s Win: 6/19, 90 yds, 0 TD, 0 INT over the Steelers
Draw your own conclusions.
I am so sad pants.
The Steelers were banged up and fading. We had a coach who needed this win to have a prayer to stay and we all want him gone. We had the weather we needed. We had a weird Thursday night game on the national stage.
It’s like the stars aligned just to family friendly us right up the family friendly zone.
Waiting for next year…when my head can finally, at long last, hang no lower, because it has finally reached its physical limit in relation to the gravitational force exerted upon it plus the force we call the “opposite of momentum…”
I am Jack’s realism.
Really? Success? 171 yard RUSHING and 8 sacks against the team God hates? I don’t know how to react to this. One one hand, we just lost Suh in the draft next year. On the other, we BEAT THE STEELERS!
Join me, subadai. This is how you should react.
Wont Tampa draft a QB if they have the #1 pick? The Rams wont for sure draft Suh either…
Because, you see, you just lost out not only on maybe the most heralded DL player to come out of the draft in a while (with infinitely inexhaustibly wonderful nickname potential)…but you also missed a great opportunity to change your display name come April next year…
subadai >>> suhordie OR suhbaguy (you get the picture)
Satan just had to put on a sweater.
And ya, we may be stuck with Mangini for a bit longer because of this, and ya, we may not have the number one pick.
But keeping them out of the playoffs means I don’t have to sit silently while Squeelers fans gloat for another year.
Totally worth it.
Why can’t you all enjoy a WIN against the STEELERS?! I dont care what happens later in hiring/firing, draft, etc. Enjoy beating the Squealers and be HAPPY for a night!!!
Don’t you see? This is our plight. EVEN WHEN WE WIN IT’S A COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE! Sheesh. Wouldn’t you trade 8 sacks tonight from the team for 8-10 sacks a year from Suh?
BECAUSE I WOULD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, it sucks that we don’t get to pick a guy first and pay him 15 million a year guaranteed and watch him blow out his knees in his first season!
So did we just win the game and lose Suh?
Who cares, because man, this feels good.
I am so happy right now. No kidding, I can’t put it into words. Funny, ’cause with 6 minutes left, I promised Jesus that I’d goto church for the first time in… 15 years if he let the Browns win. I won’t let you all down by not going and jinxing the future. I might even goto confession for the fun of it.
Damn… I’m so happy right now. Sooooooo…. HAPPY!!!!!!!
Dont let me wake up from this Dream!!! Yah! The Football Gods smiled down on Browns town tonite~~THANK YOU BROWNIES!!!
Hey, Eli! You’re right! Now we have the awesome advantage of paying a player that won’t actually be worth it $12.7 million his first year and watching him get two concussions consequently compelling the league to remove him from play! Why don’t you people see that the difference between 1 and 3 is a horrible one? I mean…really!
You gotta enjoy this one, regardless of the consequences for Mangini and draft positioning. So sweet to knock these guys out of the playoffs and to send all those disgusting bandwagon Steeler fans back from where they came. So sweet.
Just enjoy it.
Exactly!!! You can GURANTEE me #1 that we pick Suh and #2 that he is going to get 8-10 sacks a year in a 3-4 defense?! When the Browns lose it ruins my week; I’m just glad that I won’t be so pissed off this week. Is that too much to ask for?
Jack,
In a normal week, from 8 PM Sunday night until 12:00 PM Sunday afternoon, I can rationalize that it helps the Browns to lose, yadda yadda yadda.
But for the 3.5 hours during the game, to not root for them? Asinine. I don’t get why you’re so sad. So what, we don’t get Suh. It’s not like we don’t have tons of other holes.
We quite possibly kept the Steelers out of the playoffs. All of those Massengills with their yellow towels at OUR stadium tonight? They have a long, LONG ride home.
I can’t ever actually understand being a fan and NOT ROOTING FOR YOUR TEAM ON GAME DAY. I was in my 20′s the last time we beat those yinzers, and you know what, even if it means we pick 4th instead of 1st (and there’s no guarantee, since if three teams finish 1-15 you still have the coin flips) it was sure as hayell worth it.
Why yes, I have been drinking. Why do you ask?
I’d rather win for sure. Who wants to be worst? Regardless of draft position. So we get 3rd, or maybe even 4th if we win another. It’s about pride. And who wants to pay all that money anyway?
And aside from that, Keanu Quinn looked decent tonight. Didn’t have the numbers, but no turnovers or stupid mistakes and pretty much kept the O organized (for what that is worth with Daboll).
DP you make a lot of sense for a drinking man. I am sober and it boggles me that people aren’t happy with a win. Why follow a team if you are rooting for them to lose on the hope that we might draft a player who might be good or might fire a coach? If this game doesn’t make you happy as a Browns fan, then you might have other issues imo.
Im sorry, I just dont get all this negativity. We beat the Steelers!! You Play To Win The Game! We actually showed some heart and played hard. Dont worry about the draft picks. We cannot control that anyways. Who knows? We could still end up with the #1 pick. Lots of games to be played. What we need to take out of this is the the Browns played a lot of young guys who fought hard and didnt quit. That means something. Maybe, just maybe, we can build on it.
DP, asinine is strong…but I do love licorice and pizelles (being Italian and all!)
Look, the fact is, we sit here every year, every week, and lament how inept the Browns are at drafting quality players. How many ‘can’t miss’ spots are there in the draft this year? TWO.
Where will we be drafting? THREE.
Sooooooo, as you can see, we are doomed. Inevitably. Another ANOTHER another ANOTHER another ANOTHER blown first rounder on the way. BOOK IT!
Oh, and Tylor, please prepare yourself for so many more ruined autumn and winter weeks to come.
Jack… I’m not a “joiner.” Good point about the screen name, though.
Maybe we can get Suh… but we will have to hope for a trade above us… I don’t think that TB will draft a QB since they drafted Freeman last year. STL will take a QB, cause they need one worse than we do. But I’ll bet TB would be willing to trade off the pick if someone wants a QB bad. That would leave STL left w/ no Clausen and looking at Suh when they have drafted D the last two years. Maybe they do something stupid like take Locker oe Bradford. Problem is they need to draft the best player available just like us… that means Suh. But maybe… just maybe.
Anyway…. Browns up. Steelers DOWN!
Most of the decent players on the Browns defense are on IR! Who cares if a few Steelers are banged up? Every week, we find out a few more Browns are done for the year! Pool, Rogers, Mosley, Barton… Good job, Browns!
Can we please stop using the “who wants to pay that money” bit. Please. The difference between 1-3 just means you pay a ridic amount of cash to a guy you’d rather not have.
See, I guess that I can live with Shaun Rogers at the nose and Eric Berry as opposed to losing to Pittsburgh and getting Suh, even though there’s no guarantee because you’re relying on TWO COIN FLIPS WITH TAMPA AND ST. LOUIS. And it the argument is that those teams can win a game here or there, well then we’re still technically in the Suh derby.
Like I said, I can be rational all week, but when they step on the field I will root for them to win each and every time. Especially against the Steelers. I’m not saying your argument is wrong per se… I’m just saying that I wouldn’t trade potentially ruining the Steelers’ season for anything… even a stud defensive tackle in the draft.
Mark & WFNY, how does beating the Steelers with a bunch of practice squad Rudy-wannabes give us anything to build on? It just says that our starters are worse than these these guys. It’s pathetic. And none of them will be here.
Jack – if you think one guy is going to turn this team around you are very mistaken. I love Suh but is he a savior? Is he going to take us to 12 wins? Is he even better than Rogers?
Not to throw a bunch of cliches at you but it really does take 53 players to make a team better. You need the back ups to be able to play with all the injuries in the NFL. Yes, maybe these are a bunch of scrubs out there but they still beat the defending Super Bowl champs. And I think actually playing well and winning does give you something to build on. Better then playing like crap and losing dont you think?
We can start talking can’t miss draft picks AFTER the combine. Maybe some stud emerges. Remember how great everyone thought Andre Smith was last year? He went 6th. Aaron Curry was also a can’t miss. He went 4th. A lot can change from here to April. So stop with the Suh talk and enjoy the win, PLEASE.
I love this team – today was the happiest I’ve been over a sporting even in a long time.
I’m both drinking and very happy about the win. The extenuating circumstances, not so much. The draft doesn’t matter that much, as so many people are pointing out – there can still be a lot of ties at the top of it. I sincerely hope that this win didn’t buy Mangini any extra time, but if he can beat Pitt once a year at least there will be a bright spot. Better to be a bad team and beat the Steelers than a bad team and not beat them. Even better to be a good team.
Seriously pay Cribbs plz.
Ah, I know what it is. I finished my brutal graduate math final today – this must be God’s way of rewarding me personally for it. What? This is a reward for everyone else who suffers? Pfft, this is clearly all about balancing out the universe for me.
I have never been happier to be wrong in my life. It wasn’t pretty (in the second half at least), but it was effective. Randy Lerner: Pay Joshua Cribbs NOW.
I am Jack’s tiny penis, desperately seeking someone to pay attention to me
Alex,
Wouldn’t God reward you personally for you hard work studying with at least a passing grade on the final exam?
Just saying.
DUDE…. Jack’s tiny penis is sentient and can type out messages on the world wide interweb?
That’s just creepy.
Wow, I didn’t realize where the recent commenting had gone. I never even considered that any Browns fan would actually be upset about beating the yinzers for the first time in 13 tries. That’s effing pathetic.
The draft is no gimme, as we’ve seen as Browns fans since the Tebowing (aka “reincarnation”). When it comes to beating the team I hate more than anything on this mortal coil, I could care less if it costs us Suh or anyone else. We won tonight: enjoy it! We will still be top 3-4, and there are players to be had, trades to be made, etc. The point is this: the Cleveland Browns beat their archrival in front of our home crowd for the first time in YEARS. The yinzers are done. It’s a thing of beauty in an otherwise awful season.
I felt this way before tonights game(believe me if you want), but am I the only Browns fan that comments regularly (maybe once or twice a day) that doesn’t think Mangini will/should get fired? …..Granted, he has brought in a lot of “his” players and they haven’t panned out….Granted, he has run practices a little long and players (see: Davis, James) have suffered/been injured because of it…..Granted, he is short,and secretive, and arrogant with information regarding the team and everything that has to do with it, but……..
He has done a few things that used to really **tick me off in the past…1.) we are one of the least penalized teams in the league…say what you want, but the flag kings of the Romeo area made me more mad than the actual losses 2.) Say what you want about injuries, weather, yada yada….he beat the Steelers
Finally…..even the most die-hard Brownies fan probably didn’t expect us to compete/ make the playoffs this year…..What does it matter if we go 3-13 compared to 7-9? Yes….some of the decision making has been questionable, but give the guy a 2nd year….if we don’t show major improvement then get upset and call for the guys head…
Let me be the first to proclaim Mangenious in 2010! Who’s with me!? haha
Thanks B-bo. My feelings too.
i hope jack dies.
just sayin’
Come on guys. I dont agree with Jack but no need to get mean.
don’t care.
ok, ok… i hope jack gets swine flu. for two weeks.
@reepjp – You’re not the only one. I agree with you he’s doing a great job and would prob turn on the Browns if they fired him, or gave him no chance. Looking at this team the last few weeks (didn’t get to see many game from where I live), this team can easily surprise and win 10 next year (Mangini is that good). Just need to be patient.
I was at the game, and it was awesome seeing the fans, the stadium, the team all erupt when that final second ticked off. I dont care about the ‘draft position’ right now cause he knows who is goin where and how the rest of the season ends. Our D looked Great tonight, and I loved seeing little benny on the grass all night! GO BROWNS!!!
Also, OC still sucks. you could tell what the browns were going to do simply by the personnel on the field. and Royal should be cut now. Like right now. I never want to see him in a browns uni again.
Potentially missing out on Suh is a little disappointing, but beating the Steelers and paying less to whoever gets drafted (still plenty of holes to fill) is totally worth it. Nobody is “can’t miss,” either. If you look down the list of guys who made the top 5 in Heisman voting on defense, it reads like a list of busts. Steve Emtman. Brian Bosworth. Now, I would definitely pick Suh given the chance, but nothing is a sure thing. Glenn Dorsey was blowing up the SEC at LSU and has been lackluster in the NFL. But more important than any of this…
They beat the Steelers! WOOOOHOOHOO!!!! YESSSSSS!
WFNY staff. Please give me some clarity on this. I heard that Weis would be interested in being the Browns Offensive Coordinator next year. But, I heard he wouldn’t want to coach with Mangini… So have you heard of Weis talking about this? If you have would you think Lerner would dump Mangini just to bring a better OC in than Dabbol? Who would replace Mangini then? Gruden, Shannahan, maybe Cowher? You guy have some sources.. Pull some strings and get some info for me.. pa pa pa please?
I retract that last comment. I just read the 12/08 post… duh
I lost my job at Nike, am literately a week from the streets, I moved to Portland last year, lost closeness with my family, lost touch with friends, my dog died, and I had the worst and hardest year of my life….but tonight……It was my night. I didn’t care about anything tonight. I had the satisfaction of the Browns finally beating the Steelers, and this year, in perfect fashion. In real, hard nosed, power football in cold midwest weather, and ruining the steelers hopes of the playoffs.
Tonight was Perfect. I sat in a Bar in Downtown Portland, It was me and one other kid from Cleveland. We were in our Browns gear, with hopes of “our super bowl” turning out with a Win. In Portland, the Bar was filled with Steelers fans, born and raised in Oregon, never really understanding the hatred between us and them. Like typical Steelers fans….they got up, left midway through the fourth, and for the first time, in 10 years…I knew that there was no way Ben was driving for a win on the last drive. It felt soo good, Things are changing. This was huge….Brady needed this, and Brady deserved this.
Love it.
I feel like Ralphie Parker finally reaching his breaking point and taking out all his frustrations (I’ll shoot my eye out?!) in the form of a barrage of fists laid upon Scut Farkus. (Watch starting at 6:28) Take that, you yellow-eyed yinzers! This lost season just got a whole lot more bearable.
And now it’s time for me to curl up with my Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. Thanks for the early Christmas present, Brownies!
Dear WFNY Boys… we all agree this year sucked…but for God’s sake Hell froze in Cleveland tonight and we beat the Steelers. I live in Canton, Oh where Brown’s fans are somewhat of a minority so let us have our damn night! Hell give us a week! There are 133 days until the draft… we can worry about that later. All that matters right now is that THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS AND WE WON!!!!!!!!!
I was there. My head feels like a cinder block today. Coldest game ive ever been to. Wouldnt trade it for anything. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
I vote to ban Jack from commenting until the Browns next game.
And anyone else for that matter, who are more concerned that the Browns “lost the #1 pick” than THE BROWNS BEAT THE FLIPPIN SQUEELERS!!!
I am the kick to Jack’s groin.
(I know I’m late, I love the Fight Club references guys!)
Did anyone else hear the broadcasters talking about Brady’s hair, and he’s growing out to get it cut after the season to donate to cancer patients? Say what you want about him, but that’s a pretty stand up thing to do.
That leaves us with only one question – does Brady Quinn’s hair, in fact, cure cancer?
We’ll finally find out!
All this talk about draft position is pointless because we are going to finish 4-12.
The idea of losing to gain favorable draft position is akin to the player that “gets his numbers” while the team loses, in my opinion. Real competitors play to win. As fans, so should we.
A couple thoughts.
1. I live in Pittsburgh right now so for some of us, this win does mean more than next year’s draft position. None of my wife’s family or my coworkers will be saying anything about the steelers for the rest of the season because that’s how they role here. They have already moved on to the penguins.
2. From what I saw last night out of Quinn and Jennings?Harrison/Cribbs (and James Davis recovering hopefully), I am sure the Browns don’t need to think about QB or RB in the first (or second) rounds which is good. Concentrate earlier on the lines (right side of O lone and big uglies on D) or best defensive player available.
You guys have no idea how happy I am today that they finally beat the steelers.
Glad we won but…Hello Mangini.. Bye bye Suh
