I'll stand back and let Judge Mental open the festivities.
JM: Another 4-12 season. Same old crap out of Berea.
Me: Whoa! I'm not sure Chud, Turner, and Horton ever really met Pat Shurmer. Haslam bought the team, but I doubt he even had a beer with Lerner. Banner ran a pretty good team for a long time. You think dumbass is in the water or something?
JM: Maybe that's it-I don't know. I just know they choked on two of their draft picks, punting them to next year, and the Steelers got a safety with one of them!
CK: That's right, and the Browns needed a safety! And the Steelers never miss!
Me: The Browns might need a free safety. This guy's a box safety like Ward, except not as good--
JM: But it's the same old BS. They didn't bother getting a cornerback in free agency--
Me: They tried, but one piker wanted a one year deal so he could get back on the open market next season, and the other--
JM: Doesn't matter, they blew it.
CK: Banner is obviously incompetant.
JM: Like I said, same old crap. And they still don't have a quarterback!
Me: For cryin' out loud, Shrumer took a shotgun spread gunslinger and jammed him into a complex dink-and-dunk West coast--
JM: More excuses! He sucked! He was the second-worst starter in the NFL!
CK: They should have replaced him after the third game. He obviously can't play the position.
Me: He was a rookie in a hostile system with a bad coach, and--
JM: More whining from the shill! You can't accept reality! RG3, Luck, and Wilson were rookies too, and they lit it up.
CK: Case closed!
Me: I'm reopening it, dammit! They had strong teams with coaches who adapted to their skill-sets. Square-Peg Shurmer made zero--
JM: No! They were just good, and Weeden just sucked!
Joe Twelvepack: And anyway, he doesn't have any recievers!
Me: Hey who invited--
CK: That's right! Banner and Lombardi don't want Weeden either, which is why they're setting him up to fail so they can blame Heckert
Me: Enough with the black helicopters dammit! Gordon Little TRich--
JM: They all suck! How much is Haslam paying you, shill?
This is out of hand. Forum terminated.
JM: YOU SU--
Got him just in time. Anyway, this is why I have trouble arguing with people. I just can't handle dumbassitude. I mean, Joe Twelvepack isn't alone. There are people out there who really are saying that the Browns don't have any recievers. That they failed to address this glaring need.
And others who say that Lombardi and Banner are conspiring to make sure Weeden fails because...well just because he's not their guy, and they can't stand the thought of anybody else getting any credit for anything.
Trying to reason with people like this is a profound waste of time.
Today I met a Steelers fan and tried to pick a fight but couldn't. She admitted that Big Ben was getting beat up too much and wasn't as good as he used to be. That Harrison was vicious, dirty, and washed up. That Polumalu was fading. I couldn't believe it.
Of course she said "but they'll be allright." That's ok--they've got one of the best front offices in the business. I keep predicting their demise and they keep not demising. And anyway, she just meant they wouldn't suck.
I can talk to people like that. I just can't talk to a lot of so-called Browns fans.
Hell, MK Cabot writes an article about Weeden. They tear her up for titling it "Weeden Surprised". Then they tear her up for printing what he said. Then they tear him up, and some goober even slips in to talk about the conspiracy and the crappy wide recievers!
Then they gang up on Joe Banner. Why not? They're a bunch of pirahnnas in a feeding frenzy and Banner's toes are in the water with Lombardi's!
Lombardi-bashing I get. What TF did Banner do, besides fire Heckert and not land a FA cornerback?
Come to that, I was ticked off about the Heckert thing. Heckert was great! But Banner ran the Eagles successfully for a long time. You know that the coaches liked the players they got; that they had a lot of say in the picks and signings. You see them smiling and talking the players up.
Oh that's right: Banner told them to pretend to like them or he'd fire them, right?
It doesn't even matter that a lot of these clowns are burning Heckert in effigy too--makes no difference to the permabashers. He works for the Browns so I say we haing 'im! It's assenine.
Judge Mental, I'll let you have the last word.
JM: Weeden sucks! Banner sucks! 3-13! Same old BS and you're a shill!
