I don’t even have to watch the Browns games and the offense gives me a headache. How can a team give up what must have been 40 sacks, a couple fumbles, and gain 68 yards on the ground and NOT want to replace the offensive line with the 5 fattest guys in the stadium, if only to prove a point? Thank you, William Green, for showing some emotion before the game, unfortunately, you’re not helping this anemic offense in running pants and a sweatshirt. (Though thanks for not being as big of a dumbass as Steelers LB Joey Porter and taking a full roundhouse swing at a guy wearing a helmet. But remember, this is the same guy who missed time for being shot in the ass.)

Enough of them. The only saving grace for the day is that I went 9-4 with my picks, with favorite Philly going tomorrow night. Of course even that news has a downside, as Pete is standing at 9-4 as well, with Philly picked on Monday night. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a draw. Whoopee!!!

On the bright side, I got a ticket today for the Ohio State-Michigan game on Saturday. Hopefully this is just an insurance policy and a few connections come through to get me a little closer than my current seats in Dayton, but I’m in, and will be watching my first OSU-UM game as a fan. It will be my third overall, but the first two I was working for.

After that is the REALLY big game. (How can it get any bigger than OSU-UM? This time its easy.) BG plays at Toledo, and while my mother is apparently hoping against the “hookers and drugs” entertainment I originally had planned for Bancroft Street the night of the game, it looks like it could be a good day for a tailgate, with temps in the mid-40’s during the day, and getting colder as gametime approaches. The only thing I’m not big on is the snow showers that might creep into the forecast, but if BG can lay the wood to the Rockets, none of that will matter.
