The Gipper Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Yes, it is almost the season.....but since we are WAY too early on things like Christmas, etc.....I guess I decided why not get into the season's spirit a bit early...with this: What to my wondering eyes should appear But a miniature blocking sled and 8 tiny competiteers. With a little old college scout so lively and hyper, I knew in a moment it must be Mel Kiper. More rapid than Eagles and Seahawks they came and Mel whistled and shouted them out by name: NOW Darnold NOW Rosen NOW Allen and Jackson ON Browning ON Baker ON Barrett and Litton To the Top of the heap, to the Top of the Draft Now 40 yard dash away Now vertical leap away Now 3 cone drill away all........ And they all shouted out with glee: Rudolph the Okie Cowboy You'll go down in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Challenge accepted, Gip We drafted and appetizer, His name? Deshone Kizer. And passes went flying To wrong hands, bad timing. You could blame receivers, The coach, the young QB, The front office, with no Weaver, A defense still to be. No matter what's your take: We're 0-10, no more, no less. But cheer up, my friends, There's hope, even in the ache. As the most glorious feats Are achieved by those who fight, As one in the painful defeats, As one in the longest night. I hope you didn't expect something with more quality from the Spaniard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I, Sashi shall be telling this with a sigh; Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two Quarterbacks emerged from the woods; And I took the one with the least experience And it has made all the difference. Yet now knowing how that choice led the team astray I doubt I shall be back to choose another day (with apologies to Robert Frost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Browns fans shall not go gentle into the night. Old age burns our arse and we shall rave at the end of day Rage, rage against the dying of our rights Courtesy of Dylan Thomas and with this poem, we can tell what his favorite football team was. Here is a passage: Good men, the last wave by, crying how brightTheir frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Seems he was a damned Packer fan.

An example: There once was a fellow named O’Doole Who found little red spots on his tool His doctor was a cynic He said “get out of my clinic” And wipe off that lipstick you fool!

The User from Cleveland Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 You know there's Kizer and Kessler Manziel and Haden Hogan and Hoyer Thomas and Pettine But do you recall The most famous Brownie of all? Sashi the Brown-Nosed Executive Had a very brown nose And if you ever saw him You would even say it grows All of the other executives Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Sashi Join in any executive games Then one foggy Berea day Haslam came to say "Sashi with your nose so brown Won't you guide my team this year?" Then how the executives loved him As they shouted out with glee "Sashi the Brown-Nosed Executive You'll go down in history" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
