    Meh. Like water off a ducks back to me. We all make our share of shitty predictions. No worries here.

    That’s good.

     

    I’m still dealing with Kitchens and being 0-3 at home. Mayfield struggling. OBJ not being the “Messiah”. And that this was supposed to be our breakout year.

    He could start one but I’m not predicting too many Steelers wins.

    I will apologize to Browns fans for my timing of the post.

     

    Forgetta bout it  

    It’s all good. 

    We move on.

    He's a Steeler fan.

    I just remembered that.  Tried to correct it, but ya caught me!

    So........there is no Steeler thread for you to do the same to him!

    Lol 🤦‍♂️

    He would do the same for me.

     

    Except that this is a Browns thread and there is no Bengal thread for him to do the same to you. 

    That being said.......Kitchens is not impressing me.....more and more....as the weeks go by.  I’m wondering if we should have stuck with Williams now. 

    Oh well....coulda shoulda. It’s back to being a Browns fan with the same old same old. 

    The old Josh Cribbs quote: “we almost always almost win”.

  • I prefer the option that has climate control, cheap beer, no parking fees or ticket prices and the ability to switch to other games during commercials, halftime and/or the event the game I'm watching is a blowout. To me, sports are usually the background that's going on when I'm hanging out with friends or relaxing at home and even if it's a game I'm interested in, I'm probably paying 75% attention to it at most (and if I'm not emotionally invested in said game, it's likely under 50% attention).

    I'm not completely adverse to the live sports experience, but it's generally more trouble than it's worth to me. For pro, I'm 1.5 to 2 hours away from the closest teams and for upper-level college or minor league baseball, it's 45-60 minutes, so I'd rather watch stuff locally on TV with friends.

  • I will go to a baseball game whenever, wherever. This stems from the fact that you’re outside (typically) and I don’t mind missing a few tribe games since there are 162. Going to Tribe games is also great because I’d never watch any other team.

    When seasons overlap, however, it’s more complicated. I don’t want to miss any NFL Sunday, unless Browns had MNF/SNF and you could watch other games leading up and not miss action during game. I’m a big gambler, so my interest spans to other games.

    College I’ll go, but a typical Saturday has so many great matchups on that I’d prefer to simply switch the channel. I’ve gone to tailgates as I love them, then we usually go to a bar anyway and not into the game.

    For the most part, I just think the TV experience is far superior to the in-game. Summer baseball is the exception to that. If I have the option to go to a big matchup for the Browns, IU basketball I’ll take it, but don’t typically seek them out. No desire to ever see an NBA regular season game.

  • Just no interest here in attending an NFL game. I've been to Indians and Cavs games but never a Browns game (and I've taken shit about it on here for years). 

    I have no interest in the tailgating, etc.

    Can watch it from my house, not missing a play, with cheaper food/drink, no lines for restrooms, no pain in the ass parking, etc, etc. When the game's over I can go do other things (mow lawn, grocery shop, etc) instead of burning a half a day, or more.

    Just have no interest in it and I've been offered free tickets before.

  • I like attending baseball games. Football games I can take or leave.

    Living in Cincinnati, costs are minimal for me. I can see the Reds ballpark from my office, so it's very easy to attend games after work. I also live 15 minutes away, so weekend games are no problem. With the team being terrible, cheap tickets aren't hard to come by. 

    I could give a crap about the Bengals, and am heading down that path for the Jets, so I have very little interest attending NFL games unless the ticket was free. I might splurge and get tickets on the 50 yard line close to the field for the Jets Bengals game in December because they should be relatively cheap and I likely won't ever do it again.

    College football is fun, but I rarely go to games. I used to travel for WVU bowl games back in the day, but haven't cared in years. My wife works for UC and got free tickets for the upcoming game against Temple. It will be my first football game at Nippert, so I'm kinda looking forward to that. I did attend my first FCC game since they moved to the MLS the other day. It's kinda cool, but it's still soccer.

  • Carryover from the NFL thread.  Feel free to copy and paste your arguments for or against (if you want).  Lots of reasons for declining attendance in a lot of professional and collegiate markets.  Cost, availability and convenience to watch from home, teams suck, etc.

    For me, it's 90% about cost.  The other 10% I will say is travel, b/c I'm 2+ hours from any professional live sporting venue.  I think the cost of attending a live sporting event is ridiculous.

  • Tried some Rhinegeist seasonal called Streaker. It’s an IPA that I rank as just OK.  Sometimes I wonder if Rhinegeist is making too many beers. 

    Meanwhile, I picked up a six pack of Great Lakes Ocktoberfest.  My mind was refreshed as I had forgotten how good it is.

    I think he's pressing to get Beckham his catches and it's affecting the way he surveys the field.

    Hmmmmmmm..........Interesting. 

    BTW, I’m not digging the Bosa antics, either.

    "Good for him," Mayfield said. "Good play."

    (and baseball too) are great watches. 

     

     

    I began taking my kids to the Akron Aeros when they were little, instead of a Tribe game..........time and cost. They had a great time and I got to see some good baseball. 

    One more memory: 50 cent bleacher seats at Municipal Stadium. And they were actual bleachers (painted blue).
