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

I locked the thread because I'm done with it and it's almost time to start this week's thread. Cal & Larry are welcome to carry on their personal spat elsewhere. Hope someone roots for the Jets this week, that was fun. I miss trolls. Z

Keith will be there and Mike Clark as well. Z

I rest my case. Zombo

Today is Bruce's 70th Birthday 🎂 If you want to send him a Birthday greeting, his wife Suzanne's number is above in the thread. Z

Lol, I haven't "sobered up" nor did I need to. Nor do I "hate". Plenty of that in the Poli Board, I'm good, thanks. I don't know who my "perverted drunken friend" is, but you certainly like to call everyone a pervert. Usually the sign of a pervert. The Facts are: 1. You said the Browns "deserve to get their heads knocked off their shoulders" week one. 2. You predicted a Panther win. #2 is fine. You were 100% wrong, but you took a stab at it. All I ask is for losers is to come back and take their medicine, because I'm here every week, win or lose. #1 is rooting against the Browns. That's what you did. That's what you wanted. Doesn't matter how you paint it now. This is where it is expected that people man up. But your track record says otherwise. It says you'll never admit you openly, and privately, rooted against the Browns, you'll just keep going in circles and post a bunch of articles about the trade that no one in the history of the Browns Board has ever clicked on. Steeler fans have more integrity. But I don't play the exhausting game Cal. I'll just delete your next post and lock the thread. Browns win Calfox loses The End Z

Cal, you've known me for more than 20 years. What happens when someone comes into my This Week thread and picks against the Browns and says "they deserve to get their heads slapped off their shoulders?" I go after them. And if we win? I punish them unless they take the loss like man. You're that guy this week. You said those things. You picked against us and You said we deserved to lose. So fuck you, buddy. I haven't changed since 1999. You're the one that crossed over. You can man up about it, or you can continue to whine and catch my bitch-slapping hand, or you can leave this thread with your tail between your legs. There's three choices for ya. As for Watson, I have clearly stated my repulsion for him. But he's one guy. I root for 55. If you think I'm turning my back on Myles Garrett, Nick Chubb, and 50-some other Browns players I have rooted for from Day One because of one trade for one guy ... No. Never. I was wild with glee on Sunday for my Browns. Sorry you couldn't enjoy it because of your hang-ups, but this is a Victory Week, and you're not getting away with your horseshit in this thread this week. Z

" I love the Browns- players. But the trade deserves the fo, berry, and ownership getting their heads slapped off their shoulders the first game. Who has any idea? I'm guessing Panther's 30, Browns 23." --calfox You wanted us to lose, you predicted us to lose ... you rooted against us. At least Steeler fans have loyalty. You wanted us to lose. Shameful, and I don't mind seeing everyone make you eat shit. Z

Dude, if you're rooting against the Browns on this forum you are opening yourself to attack. It's been that way since 1999. Check the name on the door: BROWNS Board. I don't control the coyotes, but I hope they rip your nuts off as long as you are rooting against us. Z

Take your loss like man. Z

Suck my dick. Signed, Browns Fans Everywhere

The Great Zomboni has been writing this column now for 25 years, and the only thing that outnumbers opening day losses is the number of assistants I have gone through. But I have only had one Ride-Or-Die Partner that embraced this little weekly piece so fervently. About 10 -12 years ago, this guy showed up and started posting his predictions next to mine ... and had the audacity to actually keep score. I was like "get out of here, man, can't you see I have a little ruse going on?" But this "Tour2ma" guy with The Ghoul avatar kept coming at me every week with his own predictions ... and I learned to like the pesky prognosticator. So much so, that I invited him to Naples before the last game in Miami, and got to know him as a real genuine, and nice guy. I think he enjoyed that trip immensely, we all did until Cody Parkay's kick doinked off the goalpost in front of us so loud that it made your rectum shiver. Or maybe that was just me. So as the Browns put their head-scratching, exhausting off-season behind them, and embark on the one thing we all love, and the reason we are all here ... actual CLEVELAND BROWNS FOOTBALL ... The Great Zomboni would like to come out from behind the curtain and dedicate the first TWITAFCN of our first Super Bowl winning season to my pesky buddy, Tour ... I love you, man! Oh ... and we are bringing back Tour's favorite assistant ... Zelda, the curvy Russian minx. Now let's go win a Damn Football Game! Pittsburgh at Cincinnati, Sunday 1:00 PM You know, with the Steelers' main villain gone, and after the Bungles run last year, it seems weird to be almost attracted to the Steelers as a likeable underdog in the one. Nah, just kidding. Fuck the Steelers and the Bungholes too ... but we'll take Trubisky's boys against the spread ... just to give their slow-witted fans some false hope going forward. BUNGLES 26 STILLERS 23 Baltimore at New York Jets, Sunday 1:00 PM So four years after ripping the job out of his hands, Jacko still hasn't gotten paid and has to prove himself against Joe Flacco once more. Shouldn't be a problem. RATBIRDS 31 JETS 14 Cleveland at Carolina, Sunday 1:00 PM Let's face it, it's surreal to be facing Baker in Week One. What a year it has been. You know, everyone has their own take on the Browns off-season, but here's what I say: I love the Cleveland Browns. It doesn't matter what the owner does. It doesn't even matter who the quarterback is. Because I support ALL 55 of those Browns that flew to Carolina and are going to don the Brown & Orange and play for the city of Cleveland and the names on both the front and backs of their jerseys. And I'll take our 55 over anyone elses: Myles, Chubb, Ward, Bitonio, Teller, Newsome, Hunt, Cooper, JOK, Johnson, Clowney, Njoku, etc. etc. etc. We built one hell of a team out of the ashes, and we're going into Carolina and taking no prisoners. The talking is over. Our guys are better than your guys. BROWNS 34 PANTHERS 10 TGZ

Wake up you Pancake-eating Motherfuckers, it's GAMEDAY! Time to pound the Panthers and and WIN on Opening Day, because this 2022 Browns team is going to roll and doesn't give a shit about the past! HERE WE GO BROWNIES, HERE WE GO!!! 🟧⬜️🟫🟫⬜️🟧🟧⬜️🟫🟫⬜️🟧🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

I think we have enough talent to go 7-4 with Brisket, and then go on a playoff run with a fresh legged Watson. Z

I know it well. You'll be in Zombo Country. Z

I like our roster better than the Bills. We have the youngest, most talent bunch in the league. Z

Will do 👍

I will wait for the Great Zomboni to release his picks, and Dutch Oven's 20 questions, but wtf ... the Browns are an extremely talented team, will easily win 10+ Z

More from Suzanne Tuma, including her phone number that you can text if you want to talk to Bruce: Thank you for sharing the love and concern for him. He is the love of my life, my true soulmate, and God's greatest gift to me. Let the folks know that if they want to talk to him, I am happy to facilitate that process. He most likely won't speak, but I can interpret facial expressions and responses. They can text me at 9034756077 if they wish to speak with him. Right now, 2-4/5, seems to be awake time for him. Take care! And thank you for caring for Bruce!

My guess is that one of the safeties, and maybe one of the linebackers will go as we will bring in another te or a te/fb hybrid. Z

I just received an update from Bruce's wife, I let her know I would share it with all of you: Hey Zombo! Bruce is in hospice status, and exceeding everyone's expectations! He has gone through any type of treatment that would do more good than harm, and has come to the last phase of his journey. He sleeps very peacefully most of the time, and awakens with bright eyes and sometimes verbal communication. The wit is still there. I have read about this part of the process, and what he is experiencing is a more spiritual phase as he transitions. His beautfiul heart and soul are evident when you gaze into his eyes. Bruce has always had such strong heart and passion for the Cleveland Browns and for the Brown's board. He told me from the beginning of this journey that he regrets not being able to see the Brown's win a super bowl. I will pass along yours and the board's best wishes. I will work to give you updates. Thank you for reaching out to Bruce.
