  1. Wow. Kathy, we all knew that, once Stan was gone, the end of this remarkable board could one day come to an end. Geez, I remember when Stan was trying to figure out a name for this board. I must admit that I wasn’t a fan of “thebrownsboard,” but that shows what I know. Stan was creative, hilarious, and a true visionary guy. He was also a great friend. Stan poured his heart and soul into this board. He was so confident in his product that he actually blew it up once or twice, just to rebuild it (and the membership) in order to make it stronger and better. Through this board I’ve made a bunch of terrific friends. It is mind boggling to try to think back and capture all the wild and crazy memories with them. I think it is a tribute to Stan that many of these friendships have survived and flourished. Also and in spite of all these good things, I must admit that I’m still buddies with Zombo. How did that happen? Zombo, I join the others in thanking you for all the time and effort you’ve donated in holding this baby together.
  2. I’m in. I‘ve just selected all 17 weeks of winners. Now it’s time to sit back, relax, and watch some football. BTW, it’s cool that you can look at your history. Each season I select all 17 weeks before Week 1- no changes. I have 7 top 10 finishes including a 1st and a 3rd.
  3. I still wear my original from 1999 to every home game. I must admit that it’s looking pretty tired (as am I)
  4. Does Randall get docked a game paycheck for being left behind for that game?
  5. Larry, this team is bad.  I’ve been a season ticketholder since the Sipe days, seen many good games and bad games, good teams and bad teams, and I can tell you this is not a good team. 

    The problem is not Baker.  It’s not Freddie.  The problem is our pitiful D that simply can’t get itself off the field when it counts.

    #51 is awful.  Wali Wilson.  He hasn’t made a play all month.  He sucks.  And Vernon Whoever.  When did he last make a play?  Our LB’s are so bad that our DB’s are getting the crap kicked out of them making all the tackles.

    Will I go to the rest of the games this season?  Yes- because I’m an idiot.  But once, just once before the season is over, I’m hoping the D strings a couple good outings together.  Base on what I’ve seen, I’m not optimistic.

     

     

     

     

  6. Zombo, that was quite a tribute. Thanks for bringing back so many memories. (You still owe me an umbrella)
  7. Sorry for your personal friend loss..Thanks for the great post deserving more than a emjoi.Heads up,he's there smiling right back at ya on this gameday..Here to help anyway we can...#brownsfamily..🙏

  8. Dear Stan, As you know, I worked for a company that was mainly a sales organization. As an executive I had to write many many letters of tribute or congratulations to our field salespeople or employees. Letters such as those were always difficult as it is not one of my strengths. This one will come easy for me. I miss you man. I know it's been only one day, but I miss you. I'll never forget how we met. First on the AOL board, then you attending our preseason tailgate party in 1999. It was at that party that we decided to open it up, to include all of our AOL friends. You did the leg work, Don and I did the cooking. Thanks to you, I've met so many wonderful lifelong friends at these parties. I'm not going to mention them as the names are far too many. But, if they're reading this, they will know who they are. The parties grew and were a blast. We entertained groups as small as 12 and as large as over 100. You were the General and we were your lieutenants. Thanks to you I've met terrific people from coast to coast, Canada, Mexico, and overseas. We met new friends together, we got drunk together, and we even had our cars broken into while we were at the game together. I was honored when you asked Don, Carl and I to cook at your wedding party. We had a blast and that was the first time that I met your beautiful bride, Kathy. The two of you were, and have always been a wonderful couple. I've never met a couple like you that had so much fun laughing at each other and with each other. Our families have shared so many good times from Berea to Panama City Beach. Stan, I know from talking to Kathy, Alexis, Shannon, Trevor, others and my own experiences over the years what a great and caring father you have been. Your family's hearts have never been heavier than they are today. As I walked back from the Stadium today, I thought back to the all the same walks we made together. Today was a tough walk for me because, even though we won, I walked back without one of my fondest friends. I miss you man. Ed
  9. Take him if he is there. Period. (I hate QB's , but we need one behind Hoyer)
  10. Ed....don't include me in the food count for the opener.

    A buddy who sits a few seats from me had one seat available, just as I. When we have that happen we team up and one of us tries to sell our pair, then we sit together.

    He got his sold, so I will have to book out of your tailgate around 9:30 to head over to the Port Authority lot to meet up so everyone gets the...
