[h]TGIF LOUNGE HOUNDZ[/h] Friday Funnies... Special High Intensity Training In order to assure the highest levels of quality work and productivity from employees, it will be our policy to keep all employees well trained through our program of SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (S.H.I.T.). We are trying to give employees more S.H.I.T. than anyone else. If you feel that you do not receive your share of S.H.I.T. on the job, please see your manager. You will be immediately placed at the top of the S.H.I.T. list, and our managers are especially skilled at seeing that you get all the S.H.I.T. you can handle. Employees who don't take their S.H.I.T. will be placed in DEPARTMENTAL EMPLOYEE EVALUATION PROGRAMS (D.E.E.P S.H.I.T.). Those who fail to take D.E.E.P S.H.I.T. seriously will have to go to EMPLOYEE ATTITUDE TRAINING (E.A.T S.H.I.T.). Since our managers took S.H.I.T. before the job, please see your manager. If you are full of S.H.I.T., you may be interested in a job training others. We can add your name to our BASIC UNDERSTANDING LECTURE LIST (B.U.L.L. S.H.I.T.). Those who are full of B.U.L.L. S.H.I.T. will get the S.H.I.T. jobs, and can apply for promotion to DIRECTOR OF INTENSITY PROGRAMMING (D.I.P. S.H.I.T.). If you have further questions, please direct them to our HEAD OF TRAINING, SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (H.O.T. S.H.I.T.). Thank you, BOSS IN GENERAL, SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (B.I.G. S.H.I.T.) Have a great weekend...

He?s back. Possibly. Maybe. Quarterback Vince Young, the third overall pick in the 2006 draft who has been out of the NFL since 2011, will participate in the Browns? voluntary minicamp on a tryout basis this week, according to Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston. Young, who will take a physical on Monday, spent portions of the offseason in 2012 and 2013 with the Bills and Packers, respectively. The Browns? interest isn?t surprising. For starters, their best options currently are Brian Hoyer, who?s recovering from a torn ACL, and Alex Tanney, who?s best known for his abilities as a trick-shot artist. Besides, owner Jimmy Haslam, a Tennessean, witnessed Young become a Pro Bowler in both 2006 and 2009 with the Titans. It makes sense for Haslam to at least raise with his football people the question of whether Young at least deserves a chance to compete with the top options currently under contract in Cleveland. Young spent 2011 with the Eagles, with his biggest contribution being the inadvertent coining of the term ?dream team.? In Cleveland, the overriding objective is to end a nightmare that has lasted for nearly 20 years. %)
I suspect this more of they need somebody - anybody - to throw footballs during this camp than anything else.
In addition to Vince Young, free agent QB Tyler Thigpen is also trying out for the Browns this week. The Browns are kicking the tires on some mobile quarterbacks as Kyle Shanahan installs his bootleg-heavy scheme. Thigpen was out of the league last season and served as Ryan Fitzpatrick's backup in Buffalo the two years before that. Young should be able to beat him out if there's only one roster spot to be had.
Vince Young AND Tyler Thigpen?!?! Good grief!!!! Why don't they just slap a head shot of Otto Graham on one of these! It would at least be more mobile than Weeden ever was.
The Cleveland Browns won seven world championships in their first ten years as a team, but never had a trophy to show for it. That is until now. Earlier this week, Browns alumni director Tony Dick travelled to North Carolina to escort back to Cleveland a trophy from the 1946 AAFC Championship team. ?For years, we?ve been going through newspaper clippings, articles trying to find a picture of any of our trophies,? Dick said. ?That?s one of the unique things. We?ve got eight World Championships that we?ve won, and we do not have a single trophy for any of our championships. ?For us, it?s pretty special that we actually have something physical that you can look at and it says, ?We won a championship.?? Although the trip from North Carolina to Cleveland takes just over nine hours by car, the journey for the Browns to attain the trophy took many months. Gary Cole, the grandson of one of the Browns? former minority owners, Daniel Sherby, was preparing for a move from Raleigh to Wilmington, N.C., and agreed to let the television program Garage Gold on the DIY Network go through this garage and take items to auction. ?They took it to a local appraiser, who, luckily for us, happened to be a Cleveland native, and from what the producers told me, the minute he saw the trophy, he got kind of teary-eyed,? Dick said. ?He appraised the value for the family, which was considerable, and from that point, they had three options: auction the trophy off and keep the proceeds for the family, keep the trophy in the family or turn it over to the Browns. ?It was really nice to talk to them because they have a deep appreciation for the history of the team. They still follow the current team. It was neat to spend time with them because Gary pulled out a DVD he had and it was basically a highlight film from this ?46 team. It was pretty special.? The trophy was commissioned by the players for the owners of the team at the time, Mickey McBride and Sherby. Back in the early days of professional football, the players received a dime-sized lapel pin, instead of the diamond-studded rings given to today?s Super Bowl winners. The owners did not receive anything, but the 1946 Browns pooled their money together so that McBride and Sherby could have constant reminders of the team?s success. The scores of each game, including the 14-9 win over the New York Yankees in the championship game played on Dec. 22, 1946, and the names of the players on the team are hand-stamped onto the trophy. On it are the names of six Hall of Fame players and one Hall of Fame coach, and of the 38 players that comprised the team, 31 served in the United States military. ?We?re pretty offensive heavy on our Hall of Famers, and this team was an amazing defensive team,? Dick said. ?With a 14-9 score, it was a defensive struggle (for the title). A real interesting fact about this game was it was won on a (Dante) Lavelli touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter. The victory was sealed when Otto (Graham), who was playing both offense and defense, intercepted a pass at the end of the game. ?In that season, I?ve read where the team had 67 takeaways. From the sources that I have, they say it still stands as a record for a professional football team. Otto?s quarterback rating was 112.1, which was a record for professional football that stood until Joe Montana broke that record in 1989.?
This guy: http://mudncleats.com/forumlist/viewtopic.php?pid=174177#p174177 took the words right out of my mouth.
WATKINS, WATKINS, WATKINS!!! sing with me ....... WATKINS, WATKINS, WATKINS Please dont Winslow,Edwards,Brown,Warren,Green,Richardson and Weeden these picks.PLEASE Im tired of rooting for a laughing stock!
Browns coach Mike Pettine says he wouldn't force a rookie quarterback into the lineup, and that ideally Cleveland wouldn't use its first-round pick on a signal caller. "I've never felt that if you draft them high that you have to start them right away,'' Pettine said. "I think it's extremely difficult (for a rookie) to be a starter." Pettine also said he hopes the Browns can wait on a quarterback. "Certainly it?s an ideal situation if you can get that quarterback later in the draft." We'd still consider quarterback in play for the Browns at No. 4, but it appears they're not going to force the issue the way they did with Brandon Weeden in 2012.
