I’m not part of the north Cotswold Browns Backers but I have heard of them. I’m a massive Browns fan from Birmingham UK, now living in Hampshire

Don't worry about my heart, but thank you for doing so. Let me explain something to you. My favorite trait about Ghoulardi was that he literally insulted and pissed off everyone in management above him.

My nerves, blood pressure, and heart are most relaxed when I am pissing people off and ruining their day.

God help the poor fucker who let's me see that my insults about his wife, children, team, parents are making him mad.

You can ask those who know me best, I seriously orgasm at beating a dead horse and even as I approach 69 on 12/22 I would seriously  fist fight any three Steeler players or fans in a bare knuckles 3 ea 2 minute round fights. 12 foot ring, no ref, no rules. 

It has nothing to do with being tough, it has to do with enjoying the blissful pleasure of hating.

You get your ass kicked for 10 minutes, your opponent walks away, you stick something in his eye, twist it, and laugh.

Who wins? The hater always wins.

Fuck anyone who isn't us. 

Go Browns.

I get you.. Go Browns..

That's a really nice story of your Dad and you watching the NFL round up show religiously culminating in the Superbowl show.   Really good stuff !  And welcome to  TBB.   Enjoy yourself around the forums, any questions please ask,  hope to see you aroung !     mjp.

Reminds me of my dad and me watching the NFL on Sundays .... when ALL of the games were on Sundays.    And also on Friday nights the old black & white fights.  The TV days before over the air color TV was here in the 1960s.   My dad was a club fighter before going the US NAVY just before  WWII broke out in Europe and he was shipped out to Northern Africa and then to the Mediterranean before the invasions of North Africa and Italy.

  He was on small about 80 foot (PT boat size) wooden mine sweeper with .50 caliber machine guns and rifles to shoot mines and at ME-109s  and took a beating from the German Luftwaffe.   They would cut the cables, when the mines came up they would shoot them, fun stuff !  Dad was a  great rifle shot back home so they did target practice with the 30-06 or the .50 cals to  BLOW  up the mines.    He earned a Bronze Star for his action there.

~AND~  he also was a boxer while he was a with the  US NAVY during his time in Europe.  In fact he was a CHAMPION in his weight class in the Northern Atlantic.  When you are on a ship after crossing the Atlantic and waiting for assignment you do have long down times sometimes followed by some terrifying actions like cutting and blowing up mines while being straffed by  ME-109s.   He had some amazing times before landins in Africa and Sicily.

He was studying to be an electrican prior to WWII  so after the landings they transfered him to WESTPAC and he ended up on the battleship BB-62 the New Jersey.  His boxing days over, he ended WWII as the Chief Electrian on BB-62.   He put in his 6 active + 4 years reserve,  got married, i was on yhe way in 1950 ...... anc then .... Korea broke out .....  Uncle Sam sent daddy a letter .... they were taking the New Jersey out of mothballs .... yes  he had to report.

SO,  for the next two years he was on a battleship in Korea.   The first pictures of daddy & me he had his sailor suit on and I was getting bigger.

But in the late 1950s plus my dad worked hard raising then 5 boys with mom  -BUT- we watched our Friday night fights and Sunday NFL Cleveland BROWNS  football.    Some things last forever through World Wars or whatever.   Thanks dad and  dads everywhere !     I'm 73 now and am still a diehard fan.  Oh, and .....

GO BROWNS !

I love this mjp, thank you for sharing.. I’m actually Italian/Irish my mother is from southern Italy (my user name is the city she comes from in Calabria) and her father was captured by the allied forces in North Africa.. he was shipped to England as a prisoner of war and returned to England with his wife and kids in the 50’s to work on the farms that used his labour as a prisoner..

You never know he may have come across your father.. who by the way, sounds like such an amazing guy.. incredible in fact, the service he gave to your country can never be forgotten.. and must make you feel so proud to be his son.

Where I live now in Southampton, there is a wall by a hotel, that looks completely normal, but when you get close you can see name’s etched in to it, it is guys from the US WWII forces queuing and waiting to get on the ships back to the US.. when I pass it next I’ll take some photos and message you so you can see what I mean.. I always feel emotional when I see it.

I will start by saying that I hate the fucking Ravens. I actually hate when we play these cocksuckers. Not because they beat us often, but the entire fucking move, Modell, Dickhead Harbaugh, and what I believe is an overrated, dickhead QB (maybe it is my hate, I don't know, or care).

Fuck the Ravens. After what happened last time I would blitz this Lamarr cocksucker all day long.

Beat his fucking ass into a pulp of bird shit. Hit him late, rough him up. Make the cocksucker pass.

I don't think he can beat anyone if he has to use his brain and his arm.

I also hate that stupid fucking bird on their helmet. I hope we throw bottles at the Ravens bench.

I hope our D hurts Lamarr. Seriously, this is not hyperbole. I seriously hate every motherfucker that isn't us.

Watson needs to put up some points, we need to win the battle of the clock, and beat the living fuck out of Jackson.

Browns win this 51-3.

Where is Modell buried? Let't go shit on his grave.

I’m a little worried about the stress on your heart come Sunday Ghoulie.. I have a feeling your dreams here will come true, may be minus the throwing bottles.. I hope you chill have a beer and enjoy the Browns taking down the pretend team from Baltimore

The wife and I came to Atlantis for the week and look, Baker Mayfield is here.

Wow I thought your changes to the NFL was funny.. but this…

1) Change the extra point system. 

1 point from the 20, 2 pts @30, 3 pts @ 40, 4pts @ 50, 7 pts from own 40.

2) A time out can be exchanged for allowing 14 men on the field. Only 1 team

at a time can elect this.

3) At half time, 20 selected fans can take turns yelling whatever they want to the guys in the broadcast booth, and this would be broadcast.

4) If the punter kicks the ball short and high, then runs under and catches it the yardage would count like a pass play. If he didn't make a first down they would replay 4th down from the point he was tackled.

5) For 3 plays a game a team can make the other team wear their helmets backwards

6) Browns fans be allowed to throw shit onto the field.

Sorry, but I would be one hell of an NFL comissioner.

One of the greatest posts I’ve ever read.. although I have been drinking beer.. thank you Ghoulie

Welcome to The Board Catanzar, and thanks for the intro. I’m guessing you got in to American Football later in life? 

Yeah, Thomas was freaking great man. Loved watching that guy.

Thank you.. Well we had one tv show in the early eighties that gave us a round up of the NFL and one feature game.. My Dad and I watched it religiously culminating in the live Superbowl show.. at the time I didn’t follow a team but I remember as a ten year old wanting Joe Montana to beat that other guy in Miami, purely because apparently Joe wasn’t as good as the Miami QB.. then the show stopped and I forgot all about NFL until it started up again for me in the early 2000’s.. I always loved the Browns in the eighties so I picked them again to follow but this time I really felt connected to the fans.. I loved everything about Cleveland and I have obsessed about the team.. but it is the fans I connect with if that makes sense, I feel like one of you, even though I have never been to a game over there..

Thank you for having me on your forum
