If only I could follow a team with Haslam's money but with the Guardians' front office. @Bucketheadsdad which AFL team should I follow that will cause me the least amount of heartbreak? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no meeting. It was a decision made by the GM and owner. I despise both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketheadsdad Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 @tab, @DawgX.....Other than watching the Browns weekly (weakly?), and a passing interest in watching the Buckeyes (and the Naval Academy from time to time), I've divested myself of sports here. As you know, I'm a huge fan of Australian Rules Football, but over the last year, I've also become engrossed by cricket. (In fact, tonight I'm interviewing the VP of Marketing for Major League Cricket here in the U.S.) @DawgX, I'm a supporter of the Geelong Cats. They have been very successful over the last 15 years, having won 4 premierships (including last year). Beset by injuries this year, they didn't make finals, but we'll always have 2022. The biggest club in the comp (with regards to membership, as the clubs are "owned" by their members [think Green Bay]) are the Collingwood Magpies. They also have the only American playing in the game (Mason Cox). The league is down to their Final 4. Collingwood hosts Greater Western Sydney (GWS) Giants (on FS2) and Brisbane Lions host Carlton Blues (on FS1). The Cats are always competitive, so they'd be a great choice. Brisbane and Collingwood would be great choices as well. GWS is an up and coming club, and their predominant team color is orange, so that could be a good selling point. (Here are a few links that I share with people that are "AFL Curious") Someone earlier mentioned what it would take to get JT from Indy.....Indy hasn't forgotten that they gave up a 1st rounder for Trent Richardson. If we deal for JT, we wouldn't have a 1st round pick until at least 2030. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i did as an afc interest. All that is dead now It's glorious. The lovable loser angle is all they've had for decades. They flushed that forever (yes, forever - ask Browns fans how often Ray Lewis and Big Ben still get brought up by them) with the Watson signing, and they still stink. And Watson is probably worse considering they knew the legal situation before actively going out and acquiring the guy. Way different than "standing by your guy" and "letting the legal situation play out" like 99% of other legal issues that happen to players on teams in this league when they're already rostered by those teams. All-time bad Faustian exchange tbh. What a shame. Edited September 19, 2023 by Ray Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Let me say this: I will probably remain on this forum until I die or get banned, but from here on out, it’ll most just be me being outright salty and completely out on the NFL altogether. I am going to find other hobbies and interests to occupy my Sunday afternoons or Monday nights. I got super into wood working during Covid, so I’ll try to get back into that. I justified sticking with Cleveland post trade because of Chubb, so with him probably being done for good, no real reason to stay. Maybe I’ll circle back in 2026 post Watson, but I’m done. It’s been fun bantering all things NFL for around 20 years, but time to do other things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As somebody who has been on both sides - lovable losers with Gary Kubiak and perpetually hated with Bill O’Brien - you’ll find that flushing it away for your current position is not what you think it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I truly do not care. Rooting for this franchise is like having your family displaced in the Ukraine war and somebody telling you "The worst part is that we used to feel bad for you until we saw how many of you guys are Nazis". No that is not the worst part, that's not the worst part at all. That's not even top 10 worst part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
