Judging by that photo he looked older than his age. But I bet he had some great, spectacular times.

Re: Republican Right Wing Nuts - Part ???? hitt 05/24/25 01:26 AM
Your statements are all facts. Yet, our other MAIN Choice was a female on the inside of a huge coverup- Biden couldn't do the job he was elected to do AND the Dems knew it......AND they thought they could hoodwink us until the debate showed the world how senile our then President was.......power corrupts and Dem are nearly as bad as what we have now. Trump has closed the border- great- but he is a complete D....Peace

Or come from behind 2 TDs down. Was listening to Stefanski radio row
Tour this AM. He is calling plays yet again . That's a issue.
This is league driven by offense and explosive WRs and Andrew Berry
And Stefanski are thinking it's 1985 again
What have the Browns achieved under Stefanski running the offense
Since he's been here ??

The Browns have very little room error this year .
The defense is worrisome . Losing JOK is huge . There is no one
On the roster that can replace his skillset.
And the Browns will get exposed at the second level .
This defense gave up explosive plays last year game after game.
If the offense cant sustain 14 play drives the defense will on tired
Legs by the 4th quarter .
I Just don't see any facets of this roster that makes me it
Think it's better than the other team. When you look at the AFC
North who can the Browns beat,? Pittsburgh maybe. But even their defense
Can keep them in games .
Right now I'm going with 3 wins . Stefanski has shown he is only as good as his
Roster allows him to be.

First, you make it very difficult to answer a post without any structure at all, but here goes...I'm combining and jumping a little, but it was easier than writing two posts.

Ball control offense does not put pressure on a defense, when done correctly it keeps the defense off the field and they organically become a better unit by giving the opposition less opportunities with the ball. 3 and outs are what puts pressure on defenses. Ball control doesn't equal 3 and outs.

JOK was a huge loss, there is now way around it, but they addressed the position with another player capable in what JOK did in Schwesinger AND also added Jerome Baker to the room. These are two additions that will improve the defense, even with a loss of JOK.

Explosive plays were why they added the two LBers that they did. They both specialize in finding the ball and cutting off lanes.

While the offense does need to sustain drives, they don't all have to be 14 play drives, scoring drives will relieve pressure by changing the oppositions game plan. It all goes together, but you seem to think 15 things need to happen over 1 offseason for there to be improvement, reality is more like 3-4 things need to improve and more will also improve because of them. To echo someone else above, I don't believe this is going to become an offensive juggernaut, but it doens't have to. It only needs to not be one of the worst 3 and out teams in the league to show big improvements.

The Baltimore Ravens has one of the best offenses in the NFL, they do not have either explosive WRs or a passing game that needs to be on display 17 games a year to control the game.

The Browns are 14-16 in the division since Stefanski took over... No one is running over us in the division anymore. It's no stretches of wins that killed us last year, hell we won 3 games and 2 of them were in the division.

Stefanski offense with him calling plays:
2023 16th
2022 13th
2021 18th
2020 16th

Obviously we aren't naming him offensive coach of the half decade, but...

Without him calling plays:
2024 28th

I love guys that predict a win total... There are millions of factors that go into a football season, this is the NFL. It is rare for a team to lose 3 games... the Browns are not bad enough of a team to do it two years in a row. Not that I think 2024 was a fluke and they should have won 12 games, but they had a lot go wrong that can be easy fixes in 2025. I don't think they are a playoff team, but I certainly think we will improve in the win column over last year.

You are correct sir! Since it seems elementary school BS is all they know how to use I thought I would put it in he simplest of terms for them. But as you can see, some typical trump supporters still couldn't figure it out.

Right now his participation is just rumored. I expect it to come out just like Epstein’s list…

Biden hit that, so it’s all good.

On 6-16-2005, for the life me, I just couldn't seem to get off the couch.

My wife, an Assistant Nurse Director at the time, took me to our family doctor.

To make a long story short, my RCA(Right Coronary Artery) was 95 percent blocked.

I carry that card at all times in my wallet.

Re: Complicit Dems dawglover05 05/21/25 03:04 PM
Agree, because otherwise we are left with a possibility of several bad scenarios, including:

1. Fringe Candidate A vs Fringe Candidate B

2. Guys like our dude, Warren Davidson, who are absolutely useless, if not destructive, but don't care because they are 30+% margin. Gerrymandering dovetails with this issue as well.

Re: Why the Most Foolish People End Up in Power – Machiavelli hitt 05/19/25 03:22 PM
Old truths, it sure seems we never learn anything. Wilson- the war to end all wars; Roosevolt hiding his polo from the people and press going along with it; Truman, VP of USA and not even knowing about A-bomb; Nixon - law and order mantra- his VP resigns due to corruption and he's forced from office for lying (Trump lying about everything- what progress); LBJ - lies about Tonkin Gulf to make millions of helicopter sales in wifes name; on and on- Biden is senile in office AND his group hide everything- wanted another four years of power, but he can't complete a sentence--- and now Trump- the best example of Machiavelli- baffle them with BS- he does a supreme job.......we get what we deserve. Both major parties corrupt. Wonderful. God help us.

Re: Haslam Brook Park Stadium Proposal Ballpeen 05/18/25 01:27 PM
My comments are based on how they have handled the Browns situation. It's one of 3 issues that have any real direct impact on me. The Guards and Cavs being the others. You live in the area so the local politics has more of an impact on your life. If you say they are doing a good job on running the city, you know better than I.

So if I use the term goofball in the future, understand it is simply my opinion on the Browns and stadium issues. After that, I don't pay any attention to the local goings on to any degree. I was glad when Sherwin Williams elected to stay inside the city and build that beautiful building.
