That McAlister taunt of sheathing his sword after the breakup was funny.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Browns suck at intercepting the ball too.

Nevermind. Reverse jinx.

The Browns are 2-0 in Hall of Fame games since the expansion draft. The last time they won [1999], they started the following regular season with their expected franchise QB [Couch] and finished 2-12.

Hopefully with Watson as the new franchise QB the results are closer to 12-2 this time.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Uh oh.

 

[Jscc]

Uh oh.

2002 = Giants [Kerri Collins, 10-6]
2003 = Chiefs [Trent Green, 13-3]
2004 = Redskins [Patrick Ramsey, 6-10]
2005 = Bears [Kyle Orton, 11-5]
2006 = Raiders [Andrew Walter, 2-14]
2007 = Steelers [Ben Roethlisberger, 10-6]
2008 = Redskins [Jason Campbell, 8-8]

I think the Browns will be okay.

My duaghter was watching the game with me for a bit and compared it to summer league basketball. I was defending the game, till i realized and said...yeah ,this game, the extra preseason game, yeah thats a fair comparison.

 

[Sebastian]

Uh oh.

Noooooo!

 

[The Wizard of Moz]

Noooooo!

On the flip side maybe we can be saved from the curse if we cut our starting kicker after the game?? Hard to imagine any of those teams cut their starting kicker after the first preseason game. Maybe that’s where they went wrong
