Saying that Brisket blows is not mutually exclusive from saying that the defense blows. Neither can finish. And either can our kicker. Z

That's all I'm saying. And they are all horrible interceptions. 5-0 without them. Z

Fuck Me Amadeus. Z

OK, Guys, last week's loss was on me. Sure, my house was pounded by a Cat 4 Hurricane for 14 hours, sure I had no wifi, and very little, if any, phone signal ... but I should have found a way to post a picture of my Intern, Mitzie. Things are getting back to normal here, we've got the boat back in the water, and if I have a winning record this week, I will promote Mitzie to Head Intern. There is, of course, some job security with that promotion. Pittsburgh at Buffalo, Sunday 1 PM We haven't seen a truly awful Steeler season since like 1970 ... but we may just be on the verge. Certainly they are sending out the panic signal by starting the rookie already. They won't win today, but I'm tired of everyone on the the Bills jock, like they are some awesome team for the ages or something ... They haven't done shit. So Stillers beat the spread. BILLS 26 STEELERS 13 LA Chargers at Cleveland, Sunday 1 PM We finally got a good game from the Browns secondary last week, but, alas, with our three veteran starting DL out we got gutted against the run. They are, hopefully, all three back, we know Myles is ... and this is the week our defense gels. Clean up one Blonde Surfer Boy on Aisle 2. Offensively, we have the world's greatest running game, so as long as we don't have to throw to win in the 4th Q we are golden. I'm thinking this is the week we work that out. BROWNS 27 CHARGERS 17 Cincinnati at Baltimore, Sunday Night Football 8PM Brats versus Rats. Not sure which is worse, the Ravens defense without Wink Martindale, or the Bungles New Improved Offensive Line. Just rooting for a lot of calamities and injuries, I'm usually passed out by 8 PM Sunday, anyway. I'll take the home team and read about the devastation Monday Morning. RATBIRDS 27 BUNGLES 23 TGZ

I mean like you started a thread asking for my head! I still have some sway around here, you know? LOL, we are all good, you probably needed the 24 hours, I know I did. But today we all drink from the Victory Chalice! Zombo

I bet they Go For It on every yellow light. Zombo

How'd that work out for ya? Z

Maybe she shoulda cut back on the drinking Z

From Bruce's wife: On Sept 16, I posted memories about Bruce & I, as I was regaling him with those stories of our life together. He was tucked into our warm bed at home, resting peacefully, with both Major & I lounging next to him. Later that night, his beautiful soul, spirit, and that beautiful mind transitioned to their next phase to heaven. He was pain-free and sleeping. Caregivers described his passing as being “one in a million.” Bruce Tuma was one in a million. I am honored to be his soulmate, best friend, and soul’s counterpoint. He lives on in my heart. Taking this 15-month journey at his side, making sure he had the best opportunities, and leaving no stone unturned was an honor bestowed upon me by God. We’ll be celebrating his life as he wished - in our home with his music and images from his life, swapping stories and laughter, on Oct 15. He truly was one in a million. ❤️🙏🥰🎶🐾

As much as your Mom is buying. Z

We'd be 4-0 if he had any sense of how to close a football game. Total panick city. He is really good at handing off and hitting wide open guys on early downs on play action, but he totally crumbles in situations where he, as the motherfucking qb, needs to win motherfucking games. Fuck this guy, he has no guts. Z

Well, The Great Zomboni survived a 14 hour-long Cat 4 Hurricane like a boss, but I do not have a lot of good wifi/phone service yet, so no bells or whistles or big boobs this week, just scores: BUNGLES 27 PHINS 15 BROWNS 34 FALCONS 23 STEELERS 20 JETS 19 BILLS 33 RAVENS 31 HERE WE GO, BROWNIES! TGZ

I'm alive and well. No damage to my house, I have power. Seeing what I can do to help others. Z

Close ... Thanks to that last second bonus TD. Double win against the spread, and more importantly ... In the diivision! I got so excited I hired a new intern. Meet Mitzie. Mitzie will be in charge of rubbing TGZ's crystal balls each week to reveal the predictions of the "other" teams in the division. Let's see what she came up with this week: Cincinnati at New York Jets, Sunday 1PM Despite the Browns historic letdown, I can't see the Jets being too scary to too many teams the rest of the year. However, the Bungles still haven't figured out their Offensive Line yet, so this one should be close. But I think Bungles finally pull one out. BUNGLES 24 JETS 23 Baltimore at New England, Sunday 1 PM So here's the other division team that had a historic meltdown last week. I do not see that happening against the insanely boring Patriots attack. Rats hold on to win a squeeker. RATBIRDS 19 PATRIOTS 17 TGZ

If I get time I will come back to this and fill in the details and a hot chick or two, but for now I can only offer the final score of tonight's game: Browns 27 Steelers 10 TGZ

Someone start this week's thread ... I don't want my bad mojo to carryover... Z

Ya, he likes me. He's still a pain in the ass of epic proportions. Just glad I'm not the Ghoul Wrangler any more. 🤠 Z

Good Lord. Not my problem anymore ... THANK.GOD. Zombo --I got 99 problems, but a Ghoul ain't one of them

Wake up you Pancake-eating Motherfuckers, it's Gameday! Home opener, they are going to be grounding all Jets in Cleveland today! HERE WE GO BROWNIES, HERE WE GO! 🏈🏈🏈🟫⬜️🟧🟧⬜️🟫

Great start for Team Z, as the Browns win straight up and we go 3-1 versus the spread. So I gave Zelda some Beach Time. This week everyone is outside of the division, so we have a full slate a of games and three way tie for first that is apt to be broken ... Let's see about that: New York Jets at Cleveland, Sunday 1:00 PM Joe Flacco has a lifetime record of 17-3 versus the Browns ... But that was young Joe. On the Ravens. Against really bad Browns teams. Now the Browns are good, Joe sucks and he plays for the Jets. And Mr. Garrett and Mr. Clowney would like a word with him. Gonna be ugly. BROWNS 27 JETS 6 New England at Pittsburgh, Sunday 1:00 PM Just a few years ago this would have been the Matchup of the Week, National TV, Brady vs Big Ben! Now it is a contest between perhaps the two most boring, un-inspiring offensesin the league. But we have a couple great coaches and some good defense ... at least on Pittsburgh's side. Even without Watt, I think their defense gives them the edge. STEELERS 20 PATRIOTS 17 Baltimore at Miami, Sunday 1:00 PM Two QBs that are lightning rods for National Media attention, with vastly different styles ... But I was more impressed with the Dolphns D last week, looking like the Killer B's of old. Another low-scoring game, homefield prevails. DOLPHINS 19 RAVENS 17 Cincinnati at Dallas, Sunday 1:00 PM I don't know much about Cooper Rush, but he looks like Andy Dalton, so both teams should be comfortable with that. His stats are alright, and I think the demise of the Cowboys has been greatly exaggerated. The Bungles, on the other hand, spent a Billion dollars revamping their offensive line, and last week they looked like the Dollar Store version. Micah Parsons will extend that nightmare.

100% All in on the Browns before the trade, 100% All in on the Browns after the trade. I wish Baker success when he is not playing us. I don't have a high opinion of Watson as a person, but he's just one guy, I root for the entire roster, the entire coaching staff, the city, the fans and everything Cleveland Browns ... The Great Love of my Life Z

I stream sports all the time, it was fine. Good game too. I wonder how it effects older people that may not have a smart TV or know how to use it, and Sports Bars that may not be set up for streaming. Everyone's just gotta keep moving forward. Z

I didn't think he was 70 either, I would guessed early 60s, I guess the Browns didn't age him like it did the rest of us. Z

I don't know what anyone is doing, I'm just jealous because I wish I was there. You can DM those guys on FB, Lar. Z

For the Love of God, ladies, the thread is closed. I'll be starting a new one soon. In the meantime, Steve's idea of a Coffee Klatch for those who want to continue sharpen their claws on off the field issues is a fine idea. Z
