Once upon a time in nineteen hundred and ninety four, we were all in gradeschool or middle school. The Cleveland Browns played their home games in the delapidated yet very rowdy confines of the Cleveland Municipal Stadium. There were no whispers of Art moving the franchise. That summer a tight dinosaur movie came out called Jurassic Park which held us over until football season started. The Brownies had a mixture of young and veteran talent under some dude named William Belichick.
After 9 games, said Browns posted a 7-2 record and were in first place of the AFC Central.
All was well in Northeast Ohio. Hop into Doc Browns’ DeLorean and punch in 2014. The Cleveland Browns play their home games in a (finally) remodeled First Energy Stadium on the same plot as the Muni. There are currently no whispers of Jimmy moving the franchise. The entire Jurassic Park anthology is available on DVD and BluRay for a reasonable price. These Brownies are young and hungry and playing fiesty and smart under Terell Suggs’ favorite former coach, Mike Peteeney.
After 9 games, said Browns have posted a 6-3 record and ARE IN FIRST MOTHERFUCKING PLACE in the AFC North!
All IS well in Northeast Ohio. Your Cleveland Browns just pulverized the Bengals in Cinci under the lights in front of the nation on Thursday and the Houston Texans are coming to town with Arkansas’ own biggest thugsta Ryan Mallet getting his first career start. The fans will be rabid and ferocious and everyone that lives in Ohio should be in the Muni lot by 9am.
Cheers! to our weekly high scorer, Brick Tamland who dropped 137.20. Yadda yadda yadda Ol’ Bob is the weekly high owner again. Still holding on to the dear grocery gift card for November though is Lord of the Reamed as there was a grand total of 0 matchups decided by single digits. Cheers to the Pittsburgh Steelers defense for letting Mike Vick get a taste of what life was like before he murdered dogs, giving us sole posession of first place. Cheers to derpy websites that love pop culture of yesteryear. For a taste of what life was like back in ’94, click this . Cheers to Chuck Deal for continuously losing bets to all comers! Bring your money and beer that you have to shell out Friday. There has been a squall of trades over the past week. If you want the details, they are all posted in the message board. So cheers to all of the active and hungry FFBMCO owners!
Which is such a natural bridge for JEERS! to the lethargic owners, specifically our 2013 league runner up Timmy Derps Derper’s! There were 3 0s posted in your starting lineup due to byes or empty slots, and 2 could have been filled with active players on your bench. This will not be tolerated in FFBMCO so it has lead to the creation of the 3 Strike Rule.
From this moment on, if an owner has players on bye in their starting lineup OR empty slots in their starting lineup, and also has capable active plug ins on their bench, they will receive a strike, as well as being ineligible for the side game taking place the month of the violation.
If 3 strikes have accumulated over the tenure of your FFBMCO membership, you will be banned for life and your team will be auctioned off with no refund or cash or goodwill of any kind coming your way. Again, the strike accumulation does not “erase” at the end of each season. They stay with you for life. This rule is now in effect and if any aspect of it is unclear to you, let the league know by asking your question in the forum.
Continuing the Jeers Express, jeers to Best Team in the World for yakking up a total score of 45.64. Best Team in the World? Must have been opposite day (ohhhhhhhh)! And finally, last but definitely not least, very intense JEERS to any owner that still doesn’t understand the backup quarterback rule. It’s been discussed way too many times for a group of functioning adults so from now on you will be directed to just go back and check in one of the 4 places it’s explained in this site.
Playoffs?! are getting closer, and the league sneaks a Cheers! into Dirt Mane for becoming the first squad of 2014 to secure a post-season berth.
WHAT YEARRRRR IS IT?!
