The BIG-Al hate

How'd you become a Browns fan?


All my life I've hated Seattle, so I had to find another team. Where I'm from everybody loves the GD Mariners so by default they are also SheHawk and (were) Sonic fans. I happened to see a really fun home Browns game, Bernie & Metcalf were great, the D was tremendous, really liked watching the fans freak out. IMO the best home fans of the 90s were in Oakland and Cleveland.

It was kind of random, really. The losing doesn't shake me, my dad was president of the Vandal Boosters. Lol. Hung my stuffed Eyore toy hosting a pregame party for a BSU game when I was 5. I'm pretty sure we won that one though.

Are you really from Kentucky?

Yes, I am from KY.
I live in St. George, Utah now (have lived most everywhere at one time or another). I used to have a corporate office in Cleveland and we had 10 lower seasons to the Cavs (got them 1 year before Lebron was drafted, lol).

I hated to see Tim Couch go to the Browns, not because I hated the Browns, but because they had ZERO O-Line and he had no chance at a career.
 
Calm down guys, im just a big BIG-Al Fan and I love how he plays. How many Big´s with his size can shoot so smooth like Al ? I know that our young guys need more PT, but Big-AL needs more touches on offense,too. You have to cut the PT AL gets from Corbin, but give him just more touches until he is on the court. Then you have a top 5 BIG during the time he plays.
Big-AL is a BIG player, he just needs more touches... Endurance is the only weak point on AL´s game.

Troll much?

Whats wrong on this ? Big Al with more endurance would be one of the better defensive players in this league. The problem ist, that he is forced to use his energy just on the offensive end. He is good at defending the low post, but has no energy to help out on difficult plays.
 
Al should be a 2nd option on someone's offense, not the foundation of someone's offense. People are just expecting too much of Al. Players like Boozer and David Lee would be getting the same flack if they were here.

He's a sloth and uninterested on defense. It has nothing to do with conditioning.

The problem is he doesn't know how to be anything besides a 1st option on mediocre to bad teams.
 
When I wrote this he was TOP 5 BIG-MAN in the league, right now he is the best. And their is no doubt about it...
 
he is a one dementional player.

This, (too me) is a hilarious line. He is not one dimensional he is one dementional. Yes Al was demented about getting his points at the cost of the entire team standing and watching and his defense was seldom seen, but he is not a bad guy at all. He has this one great talent (footwork) and he used it almost every time he touched the ball. As Hot Rod used to say "right string, wrong yo-yo'.
