Not too worried about some goofball on a message board. I will sleep well tonight. I learned a long time ago you can't please everyone. One thing I learned about this board is there are some real good people on here and some not so good. I have been on boards where some people take over the board and try and run it by being loud, brash, and cutting on anyone who disagrees. After a while the board just tries to get along with them and let them have their way so they don't get ridden on. I will try and get along with anyone who offers me the same respect they want me to give them. But I won't back down to an ass. In Wyoming we call it like it is.
I got cornered a few times in the last few days and acted out because I was getting ganged up on. I will apologize for that. I don't like to act like that. I have faults and won't puff up and say I don't. But I won't lay down for someone like AZ. His behavior would get him his ass kicked around my parts in a big hurry. But he can hide behind a computer screen on here and get away with it . That is the downside of a message board. The upside is talking sports with like minded people . I have made lifelong friends on other boards and have met up with quite a few people over the years. So I would rather look at the group on here as people hungry to give out info and receive it. Exchange feedback and preferably get along. I love to learn , so I read and research things a lot. I travel a lot and never know when I might be in an area for a game. So it is good to get to know different fan bases. I have been an Oriole fan,Celtics fan, and Raider fan forever. Once I start rooting for a team I have to stick with them out of loyalty. But I pick up other teams to root for. But I like to get to know fan bases the most. To find out who has the best fans.
The Broncos are who most people like in Wyoming, but I hate them. I pray Allen doesn't get drafted by them. But in a way it would be nice if they did, just because all of their games are on TV and a short drive to watch them. I played in an all star basketball game against the Broncos and Elway when he was a rookie. He was a nice enough guy. But they had a few linemen that were jerks. I think most of them were partying before we played them. And we partied with them after we played, so it was all good. I have just always rooted against the Broncos because I was a Raiders fan. All the teams I root for is who was playing in the Super Bowl, World Series, or NBA championship when I was young. We weren't a big enough state to have our own pro teams. Brett Kiesel of the Steelers was from my small hometown. He was a better basketball player than a football player in my mind. He used to bring Rothlesburger back to town with him during the summer. I would see them playing pool and smoking cigars downtown. We are not used to spotting athletes like you guys probably are.
I just figured I would take a minute to let some of you know a little about me. I don't want to be a know it all or come off like one. And I apologize for it if I did. I will try and treat any of you with respect as long as it goes both ways. I hope the Browns get the quarterback they deserve, it is high time you guys got a break. I don't know much about Sashi Brown, but he did leave you guys in a good spot with the draft. And now Dorsey seems like he is expanding on it. I think he will get it right, he has been making some good moves. I really thought he would get Alex Smith to be the bridge quarterback. Smith used to come to Laramie when he was at Utah and embarrassed us. He was a great duel threat qb back then. That is when Urban Meyer was coaching them. Maybe someone could explain why Dorsey didn't get Smith here as the qb? I am half afraid to learn of all the bad coaching and gm moves you guys had to put up with over the years. And how hard it was when they moved your franchise out of the city. I have a lot of questions, hopefully you guys can answer them if it isn't too painful. I am real curious as to who you guys will grab at #4. I was reading an article the other day when a writer asked about the possibility of the Browns drafting two quarterbacks in the first round. And the answer was that it was brought up. Quite interesting, not that it would happen. The draft is almost here, it is going to be interesting.
