They are both solid backups, one is cheaper, younger, and more mobile and gives us room to sign additional players. Z

I have no idea what you are pissed off about, Brisket is good veteran qb, with decent stats, a little more mobile than Case. He's a guy that can hold the fort for two or three weeks, just like Case. Case was overpaid and we needed to dump that contract to allow more players in. Smart move. Z

It was his contract. We unloaded it and still got a draft pick, Briskett is just as good, nice move. Z

Yep. Nothing would have ever came out. The Texans are the worst run organization, run by a creepy religious guy, and when Watson wanted out, they got their creepy lawyer guy to gather claims about Watson's creepy massage behavior. So now Watson gets out, The Texans get a boatload of draft picks, the civil cases will get settled, and the Browns will win the Super Bowl. Hey the newlywed Baker Mayfield was supposedly getting a blowie from a young lady in the Cheesecake Factory parking lot ... And I didn't care if it was true or not ... Because he's a football player, not my moral compass. And if you think Watson is the only athlete that asks for a little kink from the massage ladies ... umm ... these guys are largely pigs that we root for ... And so was I at that age ... I just want our pigs to be better than their pigs. Watson is a Christian who is inappropriate with women ... You'd think the Religious Right would love him, vote for him if they could ... but it they just want to hypocriticaly hold their noses while he scores touchdowns, that's fine with me too ... But I will be dancing, guilt-free, all the way to my Browns finally winning this fucking division. Z

Is this the Holier Than Thou thread? They certainly aren't going to suspend him now. If he settles with one or more of these women he may get a slap on the wrist at that point, but how many games do you get for trying get the masseuse to touch your dick? Didn't rape anyone, didn't assault anyone, didn't get involved in a murder cover up (Hi, Ray!), he wanted the masseuses to touch his junk. I'm sure it happens all the time. And when you get an attorney with a vendetta that promises these young massage therapists that they can get paid, then the stories start pouring in. He'll do the Ben thing: Get married and start a family and proclaim himself a new man and we'll all move on get SB rings for a change. Zombo

Super. Bowl. Zombo

Meh. First of all I'm not sold on the "not their pick" chatter. Berry and Depo were in the room when they picked him and were very much on board. No NFL team ever is going to play an injured guy so that he looks bad and it's easier to appease the fans when you dump him. They just don't think he is Championship caliber. If you are going to play injured, you need to perform... He simply did not play well, and they want to upgrade to a better caliber qb while they have this championship caliber roster. Z

Ok, I knew someone finished ahead of me, but I could no longer access the site. Good to see people actually read these things! Z

You had two ... two ... shots to beat the Bungles, and you would have had your name back ... but your team failed. Technically, Kathy still owns the board. And, literally, I am the only one with Admin controls. All new Mods must sign an agreement not to touch the troll names in order to be hired on. Forever Mahomo. Z

I'll be around, just won't be a moderator anymore, I just wanna be one of the guys now that I fulfilled Stan's request all those years ago to administrate this place so that he could go drink Bud Lights with Hag2. I'll still post, run some fantasy leagues, and keep the Great Zomboni going ... I'm just not answering 1 AM messages because somebody hurt somebody's feelings anymore. Ya big babies. ... Actually, I haven't answered those messages in years, so definitely time for some new blood. Great Zomboni is ready to retire to his Lair and drink tequila with big boob models. Z

I texted with him yesterday, he sounded in good spirits, he is going through a lot. Told him to stop here and say hello to everybody. Z

Thank God. Good night everyone. And for those of you who rooted for the Bungles ... I am saying this as a concerned friend ... take a good hard look at your sexuality ... I think you are into penis. Z

Well, since this may be my last Official "This Week" on the Official "Brownsboard", I will share some history: When I bought my first PC in 1997, my "Gateway 2000" came with an "AOL" CD which was how I could get on the "World Wide Web". Once the screeching stopped and the little yellow man walked across my screen, the first thing I typed in the internet was "Cleveland Browns". And that took me to the "AOL Grandstand" where characters like Atenears, Hoorta and Ghoolie were already arguing about how to build the "new" Browns team that was still a year and a half away. Well, we knew we were coming back to the AFC Central, so I thought we should take an inside look at our future division each week. But with a twist or two: I wanted to make up a swami character with a crystal ball so that people wouldn't take it too serious, thus my AOL moniker Zombo2000 became "The Great Zomboni". And since the grandstand boards were crawling with fans from other teams, my goal was too make it satirical to hook our rivals into getting pissed off ... I didn't know it was called "trolling" at that point, but I was a natural. So I made my predictions sound earnest enough to get the Steeler and Ravens fans who were invading our board to lose their minds over my predictions. And I made fun of the lowly Bungle fans. And I managed to get under the skin of Jags and Tits fans who were in our division at the time too. Hilarity ensued. And I kept the gimmick up as we moved from board to board until we finally landed here in 2003. The key was that I could never be cornered. If I predicted the game wrong, I was going against the spread. If I lost against the spread as well, then it was "why are you getting so worked up about a prediction made by a guy that calls himself "the Great Zomboni" who has a crystal ball? Can't you see it's just a farce for fun?" It was the Unfrozen Caveman defense ... "I'm just a swami with a turban and a crystal ball, your world frightens and confuses me". But if I won ... I boasted for a week, posted my "record" and all of the Stillers and Rats scurried for the corners As the years went by, we got less and less trolls, and as the Browns continued to suck, and suck some more, my battles became more with fellow Browns fans. From those who took the predictions too seriously and called me an "idiot" for picking the Browns, to those who felt I was "jinxing" the Browns and needed to pick them to lose once (never did). That was easy for me to handle. I have no problem defending my beloved Browns, even if they are 0-16, and, although I hated them most Mondays, by the time I was writing "This Week in the AFC North" at the end of the week ... I really did believe the Browns would win. Every week. Call me an optimist, call me an idiot, call me a goof ...I'll never stop believing in my Browns. Super Bowl LVI Los Angeles Rams v. Cincinnati Bengals, Sunday 6:30 PM Not a good matchup for the Bengals. The Rams have a much better roster and should be more than 4.5 favorites, I imagine the late money is gonna pour in on the Rams. But in particular, the Rams pass rush versus the Bungles OL may be the mismatch of the year. And I don't see the Bungles corners stopping Cooper Kupp. Eli Apple? Bitch please. So that's the game ... but let me get something else off my chest: What the fuck is all this shit with Browns fans rooting for Cincinnati? I'm hearing things like "rooting for Ohio","rooting for Joe Burrow" and "rooting for the underdog/ want to see someone new win it". What the fuck in the name of Gipper's grave spinning are you talking about?? You're Browns fans, act like! Granted, I'm not from Ohio, but I'm from Western Pa and I don't root for Philadelphia because those idiots play in the state I was born. And this homo-eroticism for Joe Burrow is particularily troublesome. I guess he's from Ohio or was a backup at OSU for a bit ... Who gives a fuck? I don't root for Penn State guys that play in our division, what the hell are you doing rooting for this jackoff? We have to play him twice a year for eternity, start hating him now like a true Browns fan. He's no different than Big Gay Ben or Lamar Jacko ... He wants to drink your milkshake! Fuck the Bungles. They are the first team I ever hated. I became a Browns fan when I was 4 in 1968. I barely remember 1969, 1970 is the first year I clearly remember. And I clearly remember hating the Bungles. First year of the AFC North, the Browns, Steelers and Colts just moved to the AFC. The Steelers were a joke, 1-13 or something. The Browns were graying champions, still the class of the new division, it was assumed. But the Browns went a dissapointing 7-7 and the 8-6 Bengals won the first AFC North Championship, I can still see them celebrating with those cheap letters pasted to their stolen orange helmets. We won the division the next year, but the rivalry was on: Kenny Anderson and Isaac Curtis killing us, the Browns winning in Cincy in 1980 to clinch the division with Thom Darden knocking out Pat McInally, Bernie Versus Boomer, Sam Wyche "You Do Not Live in Cleveland" speech, The crazy Horseballs Anderson 51-45 shootout in 2007, handing the intercepted ball to Hue Jackson on the Bengle sideline, two dogfights every year where you "throw out the records" Fuck the Bengals! Check your manhood and root against them, we don't want those Kentucky hicks winning a SB before us ... what the hell is the matter with you ladies? Win One For The Gipper RAMS 41 BUNGLES 16 Zombo2000

This is beyond Hue Jackson and how you feel about him. This is heavy stuff. The NFL will investigate Roth and Haslem and if they were paying bonuses to lose football games, they are in deep, deep, doo doo. Z

This is going to be painful this year. It already is. Z

If true, Haslem and Ross need to go. Plain and simple. Zombo

Sometimes I actually miss Gipper. Z

Thanks man. It was important to me to keep this place rolling in the spirit Stan intended. The memories are awesome, as are the lifetime friendships forged. Neither Kathy nor I know a thing about the tech side of this. It's a miracle it kept running on it's own. Neither of us had Stan's passwords or knowledge of who to contact or how to update the site. So either someone comes along that can make her comfortable with a plan moving forward, or someone on here starts a new board and invites all of us. Either way, I am in, but not as a administrator/moderator, I've done my time, time for someone else to helm this thing so I can just be a regular asshole fan like the rest of you 😄 Z

Only The Great Zomboni has lasted longer than Tom Brady as I started writing "This Week" in 1997, before the Browns were back, and Brady was backing up Brian Griese at TSUN. Last week TGZ predicted Brady's demise, and it sounds like he is taking his ball and going home. Great Zomboni Outlasts All. Let's see whose spirit we can break this week: Cincinnati at Kansas City 3:00 PM Congrats to the Bungles on repping the AFC North and getting this far. But this party is over. Edging the Raiders at home, and having the Tits simply not show up is one thing ... Chiefs on the road in the playoffs is a whole different matter. Only Brady accomplished that. Joe Burrow ... You are no Tom Brady. Another masterful gameplan by Reid and the Chiefs, and plenty more sacks of Burrow CHIEFS 38 BUNGLES 20 San Francisco at LA Rams 6:30 PM I like these scrappy 49ers. I like their fans, I like their uniforms, I like their coach, I love their defense and Deebo Samuels and George Kittle. But Jimmy Garapolo plays like he is dying to lose these games for his team. He's in over his head once again against the powerful Rams, and I'll just keep riding Aaron Donalds back through the NFC. RAMS 30 49ERS 19 TGZ

Oh, I didn't realize Conklin only has one year left. That is a concern. Z

We've got our starting guards and starting tackles under long term contracts. Three Pro Bowlers and1st Rounder going into year three. So unless this guy plays Center, he's a backup and a special teamer if comes to Cleveland. So ... why? Z

Wrong "This Week" thread ... Z
