Comments on Browns Comments and Stuff

Least but not last, the guys on NFL Radio need a hobby.  DePodesta makes a speech three days before free agency.  It's a big deal!

NOT.

I now tune out Pat Kirwan when he says anything about the Browns.  His sheer disdain for the organization is ingrained.  

I could tolerate it before, but now Sashi Brown just handed him a bag o hand grenades (and what he must feel is validation).  He'll be insufferable.

Rich Gannon has irked me in the past picking on the Browns, but for him it's early in seasons, before he'd seen any games or done any research of his own.

Rich, unlike Pat, thinks with his brain, and doesn't let the simmering cauldron of emotion contaminate his objectivity.  He neither likes nor dislikes the Browns.  I'll take it.

Rich was clearly as befuddled as most of us by the mass exodus of four elite players.  Pat wisely remained silent, aside from sighs and snickers.

Rich said something like what I wrote.  Evidently, they mean to tear it down and rebuild it.  Sounding skeptical, he said "who knows?  Maybe six months from now we're all looking at this and saying 'I guess they knew what they were doing' but...I don't know..."

Good enough, Rich.

It has begun to dawn on others (some of whom might not even have stolen the thought from me) that these events could make trading Joe Thomas a smart move now.  Welcome to the party!  How long til Haden sneaks in there?

I'm not so high on a Haden trade though.  He's still in his prime.

Here are some comments that shocked me: Jim Miller (who incidentally announced all the Michigan State games and is an expert on and proponent of Connor Cook) was asked by his co-host where Wentz and Goff would rank in last year's draft (with Mariota and Winston).

"I'd put him right there with those guys!".

They also said that John Gruden said that Wentz was the most pro-ready quarterback he'd seen in a couple years!

Now...who will screw the Browns out of drafting him?

Shhh!

Are the 2016 Browns the least talented team in NFL history?

Remember high school?  A crowd would start picking on some poor kid, vying with each other to get the best zingers in.  The long nose grew into a huge honker.  A slender build became anorexic.  A single pimple became a pizza face.

Always, some clown would take it too far.  "We all screwed your mother last night haw-haw...what's everybody looking at?"

That's whoever wrote this article.  I didn't read it.  I apologize if the title was just a hook for something by an author with a homo sapiens brain, and not a steaming pile of hot LaCanfora.

Anyway, this was written before Dansby's release.  Ok now, including the punter and kicker and every member of the defensive line and the fourth cornerback, find me three players who are below average.

No bullcrap here: Gilbert barely played, and even if he had, you need to look up "talent" in your Funk&Wagnall.  You need a brain transplant if you listed Hartline.  Or Crowell.

You need one anyway: If you'd asked "Are the 2016 Browns the most average team ever?" I'd know you could spell your name right.

Somebody always takes it too far and wrecks a perfectly fun torture session.  Go home and pull the wings off flies.  Burn ants with a magnifying glass.  I'm sick of this.

Stop it.  There is something wrong with you.
