I get it and this is a Browns thread….but that’s a terrible terrible article lol. Poor sportsmanship at pickup basketball games, rumored to have a gray penis. That’s some high end writing.

The gray penis part was pretty weak. I'm assuming he was joking there but, if not, dumb. Most of the other stuff in that opinion piece I don't doubt, as I've heard similar, and worse.

So if the Browns are without their QB and Bengals are without their QB (and Mixon and others)…..Browns are 5 point favorites?

Wonder what the spread would be based off the players that played last week? Bengals by 16? Cincy a lot of players out but they are still going to want to win….I’m not convinced the Browns want to win.

Legend like that can stay as long as he wants.

There was an dinner event for him back in the day. The emcee asked everyone to honor him by dropping their dinner napkins on the floor and moving their chairs back ten yards.

It's Drew Magary.  He used to be writer for Deadspin and was their best writer during their hay days. You might have remembered his annual "Why Your Team Sucks" blog.   As you can imagine, he went full retard (as did everyone at deadspin), and his best employment opportunity is for SF Gate apparently.  Regardless, rapistberger is still a piece of shit.

There is 0 reason for the Browns to attempt to win this game, which means they most likely will win this game. 

Drama didn’t last long… allegedly 

The #Browns are moving forward with Baker Mayfield as their starting QB, with the parties on the same page heading into the offseason, sources say.

State Champs!

Priority - Rank the Top 3 WRs (Wilson, Olave, Williams) and get ready to draft one of them at 13.

LOL, that article was quoting another article that had largely been debunked.   Talk about mailing it in.

Doesn't change the fact TheRapist is a garbage POS.

May have mentioned this previously but, as far as seasons go, this ranks up there in the top 3 of disappointing seasons (if not number 1) in my 45+ years of fandom. Huge expectations out of this team and they just failed.

You probably read that I called this season the most disappointing in my 60 years of following.  I’m curious as to what you would name as your other two.

Probably 2008, after the 2007 anomaly along with the season after they went 12-4 with Bernie. This year was probably the worst though. 2008 you could see the potential for fools gold with Derek Anderson's inconsistence.

Here's next years opponents....

Well, this is interesting....the Browns front office is apparently a hot commodity for GM talent and a couple of their guys are getting interviews (Bears). If they lose these guys, according to the new rule for hiring minorities, the Browns will get a 3rd round compensatory pick this year and next for each front office candidate they lose.

Given his past, I think getting a full season out of him should count as a win

This has obviously been said, but DT is next need after WR.

I wouldn't cry if they took Jordan Davis at #13 if he's there.

Yeah, that's not good. Wasn't aware of that. Doesn't that immediately put him on some kind of sex offender/predator list?

Oh, btw, it was an extreme pleasure to watch the Steelers get their asses handed to them the other evening. 

This season was a disappointment for sure,but for me the most disappointing season was when the move to Baltimore was announced.

Or when the franchise formerly known as the Cleveland Browns won the Super Bowl in 2001.

Three Browns rooks named to this all rookie team....

Not getting Felton but JOK & Newsome are studs.

I mentioned something earlier that looks like it's going to come to fruition. Looks like the Browns will get 3rd round compensatory picks this year and next. Likely losing one of their up & coming/rising star personnel guys to Minnesota to be their GM.
