View Full Version : My main men the browns ( one for you yankee lads )
Owner of the Cleveland Browns and Godlike larger than life amazing human being Randy Lerner has bought Aston Villa ( my football team ).
Are these browns ( i presume there called the browns ) and good and does he pump much money into them or anything dunno if you lot have transfers really but has he bought any big players.

Ever since they came back to the league in 1999 under this new owner I presume, they have been one of the worst teams in the league pretty consistently. :kiss: I think they made the playoffs in 2002 though at 9-7 but lost in the first round.
And er does money make the world go round in the American Football leauge like if he was flinging money would they be doing well?

He got one of the hottest coaches prospects to go to Cleveland a few years ago, and has drafted semi-decent players coming out of college (although the QB they drafted was a bit of a bust but they might be saved by the back up they picked up who has been playing pretty well)
I'm too sure how much control he really has in the whole drafting process, since every team is different, but I'd assume he plays some type of role.

He brought in some big FA's this year if I remember, like Jurevicious and Bentley or whatever.
Also, the NFL has a salary cap, so to an extent, you can't really get a big advantage by spending lots of money. I would guess that he makes Villa a consistantly solid team, but I don't forsee Chelsea like changes in them.

i guess british people should like the browns? yeah i think so, like Browns is a mad traditional name or something. Probably Liverpool Browns, London Browns, Essex Browns suitable but not something like Liverpool Chargers.

Basing it on that theory we should all be Buccs fans.

The Browns are terrible but Lerner kinda benefits from the fact that people in Cleveland will love the Browns no matter what so he doesn't have much motivation to win.

British people should be Patriot fans just out of respect

The Vikings kicked the English's ass before the Patriots did though, technically
