Who Were Those Guys?

Happens every year it seems. When Browns season is here, things are always unpredictable. Every year the Browns take your neck.....and put it on the chopping block...and they start to swing the ax,...and then....they change their mind and do something really great. It's all just to tease us and keep us interested ...and it works!

Last night was great! On national TV we finally got out of our own way long enough to get a HUGE win against the Superbowl champs, the New York Giants 35-14! But that fact alone brings up an even more important question...who were THOSE guys? These are the same guys bumbling around on national TV, ruining every one's Sunday 4 weeks ago against the Cowboys. Then the next week on national TV, choking against with the Steelers. Next we had the decency to get thrown around by the Ravens and regional TV, and mercifully we had the Bengals in week 4, and even Massillon High can beat them.

But last night was beautiful! We scored points, we played good defense, we ran interceptions back for touchdowns, and generally kicked a New York teams' butt. And I don't care if you're playing tiddly-winks, that's always a good thing. It just inches out beating a Boston team at anything too, but it's close. If we get shellacked this week in Washington, it still doesn't take away from the Big Apple Beat-down we gave the Giants. Hope the plane ride home to Lagaggia International airport in Flushing had plenty of ice on it, because the Browns wood-shedded the G-men, and the whole country got to see it. Beautiful.

Now what about this week? I can't bear to watch, but I will. I still think our collective necks will be put on the chopping block, but hopefully the Browns will refrain from swinging the ax for one more week. And then, see their way clear to surprise us yet again with a big win over some over-blown, overrated, over exposed, cocky, arrogant, blow hard, can-do-no-wrong, ESPN favored, big TV market, east coast wimpy team. I for one am sick of being slung over those those teams shoulders, and carried off into the sunset as they move on with their fancy playoffs, and perfect seasons, Superbowl rings, and countless heartfelt vignettes on all these we only care about the Yankees and Patriots sports channels. I don't even care what kind of TV it's on. Regional, national, black and white, rabbit ears, kenetiscope, or even if it's on the DuMont network....I don't care..... just so we win!

Go Browns!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And nicely done!
