Guest MillenniumMan831 Report post Posted September 8, 2002 For once, I thought The Browns could conquer The Cleveland Curse and start the season on a winning note, but NOOOO, that damn curse weakens all who dare to destroy it!!! It wasn't Rudd's fault, it was The Curse reminding The Browns and the great citizens of the city that The Curse ALWAYS gets the final word! I hate Red Right 88! I hate Elway! I hate Jordan! I hate The Marlins! I hate the refs from The Jacksonville game! Now, I HATE THE CHIEFS!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest imajackoff? Report post Posted September 8, 2002 I just hate the Browns. Watching them pull defeat out of the jaws of victory today against KC almost made me forget that my Ravens may not win a game this year. Almost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted September 8, 2002 That was funny as hell. The old spiking the helmet penalty to lose the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MillenniumMan831 Report post Posted September 8, 2002 and hate Rudd and Gardocki for being idiots. Help me out w/ Gardocki's penalty. I was watching the game and listening to the radio commentary. How did Gardocki taunt anyone? All I saw was Gardocki meagerly throwing a fist in the air as to say, "Yay . . . 3 points for us." It's depressing living in Cleveland sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted September 9, 2002 I was on my treadmill when this games was on, and after the "Rudd Play" I almost fell off it from laughing so hard. I have a question -- doesn't an O-lineman have to be declared eligibile in order to catch a pass? I didn't hear the ref say he was... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted September 9, 2002 I really couldn't see what Gardocki did to get the personal foul - after the kick he jumped up and pumped his fist...could be he said something that the ref took as taunting and penalized him. As for Rudd, yeah maybe he didn't see Tait pick up the ball, but he should have made sure the sack counted rather than jumping up and tossing his helmet off like a fool to celebrate. The play isn't over till the whistle blows. What will be the nickname for this one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted September 9, 2002 Dwayne Rudd would celebrate every tackle he ever made, even if it was a huge gain for the other team. His idiocy doesn't suprise me, and it probably doesn't suprise anyone in Minnesota. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think he caught it...Green fumbled the ball on the sack and Tait alertly picked it up and ran for a pretty big gain, but I don't know if it would have been a first had Rudd not thrown his helmet off.

What was the rule that was born when Ken Stabler fumbled a ball into the end zone and his TE recovered it and won the game for the Raiders some years back? I think I'm confusing that with what happened to the Browns... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hardyz1 Report post Posted September 9, 2002 It was definitely a desperation lateral from Green to Tait. What an ending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MillenniumMan831 Report post Posted September 9, 2002 And had ANYONE been able to tackle Tait anywhere near the line of scrimmage, the FG would have been way longer and/or almost impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leena Report post Posted September 9, 2002 I'm already hearing the bitching from my roommate who loves the Browns. Browns & Bills area here, doesn't get any worse than that. Funniest, and dumbest thing since Leon Lett (twice). The look on Rudd's face when he turned around, and the play was still going on was classic. Poor Browns.

Guest KingOfOldSchool Report post Posted September 9, 2002 Was Leon Lett the guy who didn't get off the field on time? And yeah, Rudd is a moron. I have a legit dislike for the Chiefs and have been waiting for the Browns to actually do something, and the jackass Rudd had to go and do that. Still, some blame goes on the rest of the team for not paying attention and letting Tait get that far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Leena Report post Posted September 9, 2002 Was Leon Lett the guy who didn't get off the field on time? I'm not sure about that one, but it may be true. 1) Thanksgiving Dallas vs. Miami in the snow- Dallas blocked a FG to secure the win, but Leon Lett touched the dead ball, allowing Miami to recover the ball and kick the game-winning FG. 2) Super Bowl XXVII- Lett recovered a fumble and was easily going to get a TD. He starts dancing and holds the ball out like a loaf of bread, allowing Don Beebe to knock the ball away at the 1 inch line, causing a touchback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KingOfOldSchool Report post Posted September 9, 2002 I remember the second story. Yeah, some guy a couple of years ago (which I think may have been Lett, or some other heavy lineman) didn't get off the field on time while his team was switching up it's personnel, because he was just walking to the sidelines. It resulted in a call of having too many men on the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ant_7000 Report post Posted September 10, 2002 You guys should of heard Rudd in the postgame comments: Its a shame we didn't play well. Didn't blame himself or nothing like that, I always hated him when he taunted the Bears 2 years ago with that fumble recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted September 10, 2002 Okay, I'm a Browns fan but I'm not from Cleveland so...what's Red Right 88? Anyway, I'm not blaming Dwayne Rudd for the loss. I'm blaming the fact that the Browns gave up 20 points in the fourth quarter prior to the last play. And the fact that Priest Holmes had apparently paid the Browns D to let him run by them all day. The defense was just trash late in the game, and THAT'S why they lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MillenniumMan831 Report post Posted September 12, 2002 First off, I don't know if that's the correct name for it, but here's the deal . . . The Browns were winning/losing some extremely close games in the 1980 season. The were known as The Cardiac Kids. In fact, Ahmad Rashad caught a hail mary that season to beat The Browns. But I digress . . . The 1980 AFC Divisional Playoffs were in Cleveland as they were hosting the dreaded Oakland Raiders. Imagine this, it was cold/windy as the opposite of hell. I believe the wind chill was in the negative teens. Anywhoo, The Browns were down by 2 (I think), late in the game and driving down the field looking for one more miracle victory. They got down inside the 10yd line (Again, I think, but it was definitely close). So a FG would win it, BUT both team's kicking games have been terrible w/ the wind and all. So in true Cardiac fashion they pressed on and called Red Right 88 (name of the play). Unfortuantely for Browns fans everywhere, QB Brian Sipe threw an INT in the endzone, and the game was over. Sipe ran off the field, looking like he wanted to throw up when the head coach (forgot his name) gave him an embrace and told him that it was alright and he was proud of him (Something like that). This was probably The Browns first ever post-season heartbreak in The Super Bowl Era. And it wouldn't be the last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
