Good grief, it’s Browns season again

by Cleveland Frowns on September 11, 2016

After last season, on top of every other Cleveland football season and non-season since 1995, it seems all there is to appreciate about the Browns anymore are the parallels between the spectacular deterioration of the franchise and that of Cleveland’s middle class, job market, and social safety net.

Will Hue Jackson and a bunch of Ivy-degreed technocrats give us any reason to think that what was good about the Browns hasn’t gone away with so much about what used be good about America? Now that LeBron has made good on the greatest story imaginable in modern pro-sports, how much enthusiasm will Northeast Ohioans be able to maintain for a bunch of guys flown in by an oligarch from Tennessee to play football games with “Cleveland” written on their shirts?

Folks will have to tune in to find out.

Happy football season to all, from the folks at Cleveland Frowns.

    Clowns over 4 wins – lead pipe lock!

      LOL. They looked like a solid 1 win team today. That sad part is the coaching was so awful.

      • BIKI024

        we weren’t gonna go 16-0

        • smittypop2

          Thanks for the hot tip.

          That could well have been the second-worst team in the league that they lost to by 19. What other game, besides the Titans, do you think they have a chance of keeping within 7, let alone win?

          I will be surprised if they don’t finish 0-16.

          • BIKI024

            yes cuz its not reasonable to expect a team with a brand new (and experienced) coaching staff with 42 guys under 3 years experience to improve over the course of the season. not to mention several key drops by CC, Hawk, Barnidge, (usually sure-handed), and of course the ingenious fake punt play that really changed the momentum of the game.

            but it’s fair to expect them to improve, especially when JG gets back.

            5-10 the rest of the way baby!

      Yeah I’ll take the under. Thanks.

      BIKI, PAY ME FROM OUR BROWNS BET TWO YEARS AGO YOU FREAKING WELCH.
      My only season wins bet this year… Clowns under as usual and +130 to boot.
      Biki it’s guys like you that make it easy for pro bettors to collect even after giving the man his vig on the inevitable 45% losers. Same teams, same favorites, same overs year after year. I do have a position on the tribe to win it all though, but I will hedge out of it in the first round.

      • BIKI024

        from what i recall we pushed, otherwise show me the confirmation of the win total we agreed on.

        • Petefranklin

          what, I have to send you confirmation every year?

          • BIKI024

            confirmation of what? that we pushed?

    They might never make the playoffs again but know that they will work tirelessly and on the cutting edge to squeeze as much money out of fans as possible: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-08/nfl-s-cleveland-browns-are-on-a-cash-making-data-mining-mission

    I love the smell of dumpster fire on a Monday morning. Smells like…football season in Cleveland.

    May we display your header on our new site directory? As it is now, the site title (linked back to your home page) is listed, and we think displaying the header will attract more attention. In any event, we hope you will come by and see what is going on at SiteHoundSniffs.com.

      Go for it. Thanks for thinking of us. That’s quite an interesting catalog you’re building over there.

        Thank you so very much for giving permission. Aside from the All category and the slideshow on the Home page, you can see your header under Sports and the United States. It was either in late 1987 or early 1988 when a lake-effect blizzard kept me from driving my big truck all the way to make a delivery of something in Solon, OH. I spotted a parking lot big enough to accommodate parking the truck until the roads cleared without getting too much in the way of others. The parking lot was to a bar and garil by the name of The Gables located in Southington, which is north of Warren/Youngstown. The lady behind the bar said that it would be just fine to park my truck there, and this was the beginning of a love affair I had with her bar. This is where I found out what true diehard fandom was really all about while listening to stories about Gables patrons standing out in the freezing rain to get tickets to a Browns game while the team was not all that good. I sure hope your team can finally get it together enough to make it to and win the Super Bowl someday. It is not looking good with the current owner, but at least he is no Jerry Jones. Sigh.
