WHERE’S WUNKLE?
The 2016 NFL regular season is almost over now. With everything that’s transpired since the NFL draft, surely the loyal viewership of brownsfootballtalk.com would’ve had at least one article from the website’s Senior NFL Draft Analyst – regardless of whether or not it pertains to football. This has undoubtedly left many of you asking the same question, “Where’s Wunkle?”
Well, rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated . . . and since you asked the question, I’ll be glad to tell you. I’ve been working my job as a mechanical designer in Cleveland, attending church services on Wednesdays and Sundays (which includes helping out with the music on Sunday afternoon Hispanic services), enjoying our first grandchild (she just turned 8 months old) and enjoying a new family activity with my wife and daughter – sessions at a local pistol range. There has also been some real-life drama within the family that needed to be addressed. Nothing life threatening . . . just having to deal with two vehicles being totaled within a six month period and a 27 year old HVAC system that needed a total replacement – save the duct work. But, hey, life goes on, right?
As for our beloved Brownies, I’ve watched enough of them to see that (A) we’re no closer to solving the starting quarterback position than we were at this time last year – when we could’ve had Carson Wentz, (B) we still haven’t adequately addressed the holes in the offensive line, (C) the defensive front seven needs a run stuffer and at least one game-changing pass rusher, (D) the secondary needs serious help and (E) Ray Horton needs to quit screwing around with the 3-4 and go exclusively with the 4-3 as a base defense.
Outside of football, a lot has happened both nationally and internationally. We’ve elected a new U.S. President to replace the farce that’s been in the White House these past eight long years, a number of celebrities have gone the way of the grave, terrorist attacks have been sprouting up in numerous places, Israel is under criticism and sanctions by the United Nations and we’re still waiting on all those Hollywood nut jobs to hold true to their word and leave the country for good due to the election results. I guess the latter was too good to be true.
As for what’s upcoming on brownsfootballtalk.com, I’ll be submitting my series of mock drafts between now and Draft Day. I’ll even publish another edition or two of “Ask Wunkle“. I’ll also be giving our viewership in depth analysis on various perspective draftees for the Browns and reviewing other NFL teams’ needs as we move closer to April. Last but not least, I’m also planning on a second edition of “Wunkle on Wunkle“. So look out Browns fans, because Wunkle’s back and he’s even snarkier than ever!
Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!
Glad you’re back. Love the snark.
I’m marking strikes against you for absence, that’s on you and I heard a lot of excuses but, it’s on you really. I’m holding it against you.
Congrats on Grandfatherdom. Feed it candy. Buy drums, noisemakers, and anything else that will really irritate mom and dad. Totally fair, worth it, and it’s your job now lol.
I look forward to your Crumudgeony opinions going forward now. I’m still mad at you though.
I’ll also be giving our viewership
Stop right there Bill. There is no viewership. There’s like, 7 of us. Maybe 8. And I don’t mean on this site, I’m talking overall. There are 7 Browns fans left, total. In the universe. So, I’m hoping that as a well learned man of age to have grandchildren, you can appreciate the art of ranting and raving to…….mostly yourself. Cause aside from the Last of the Mohicans that are still thumbing around here, we are in the period that I from now on am going to refer to as The Nuclear Winter.
Ice is doing well though. This site brought in so much money that he kicked his wife out of the house and built her a shed in the backyard to go work in so he can have full reign on this entrepreneurial success without distraction.
You can’t have distraction in this game Bill. You know that. The kingdom is free of interference, so, we have that going for us. Which is cool.
Now enough with the pleasantries, talk to me about this Trubisky kid from North Carolina.
Well, Shooter, I can see that you haven’t lost anything off your fastball. God love you for that. After all, somebody has to.
Ask and you shall receive . . .
Mitch Trubisky – Junior QB – University of North Carolina Tar Heels
HEIGHT: 6′-3″ WEIGHT: 220
2016 was his first full year as a starting QB in the ACC. He saw limited action in his freshman and sophomore seasons. Over his entire career – including bowls games – he’s completed 386 of 517 pass attempts for 4,762 yards with 41 TD and 10 INT. He was also sacked 23 times, 20 of which were during this season. Good TD to INT ratio, and is mobile with a strong arm. I’m thinking that he should remain in school for his Senior year. With him graduating this year, he has three options . . . stay at UNC, transfer to another college or enter the NFL draft. Trubisky is considered by many to be the top QB prospect in this draft, but that does not necessarily make the Mentor native a shoe in for the first overall pick. If he comes out, he may very well be drafted by either the Niners or DA-Bears.
Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!
Wunkle, been following your soap opera on Facebook and have seen some GREAT Browns pics of you and your crew decked out. Looking forward to your next draft masterpiece!
PS – No Trubisky!
