What happens then?

Means that I have to start a new riding spreadsheet and a new diary.

We got snow overnight so it's off to the club pain dungeon to display my fantastic FTP to my co-riders.

No more Chip on our shoulders. See what I did there?

:D

We now have a chance on Sunday.

SSDD at Acme Labs.

Well done.

I know, it would be beautiful! And you know there'd be a QB controversy.

I doubt he goes anywhere and gets full personnel control again though. Don't forget he got rid of DeSean Jackson after a pretty good year as well. McCoy was strike #2 , and waiving his offensive line was strike #3 .

Oh, trust me, I know! I hate the Eagles, and so it was fun watching all the good players go away, and then assembling the entirely wrong roster for his system. He was clearly more concerned with having guys he liked rather than winning.

That's weird; I don't remember you getting DeSean and LeSean back, and Odell will be back from suspension.

Yep. We hit the local watering hole every Sunday (staggering distance to my house) and I watch the Browns lose. It has been a surprisingly good time, but I have yet to meet another Browns fan.

Head coaches should not be the fattest person on the sideline.

Do you wear full Brown's regalia on these outings?

RPK79 12-30-15 09:16 AM

Had an eye exam yesterday. Been 2 years and my prescription barely changed. I guess that's good since my eyes aren't deteriorating. Still, I'm getting new glasses with slightly higher end lenses as well as replacing the lenses in my cycling sunglasses since those are an OLD prescription.

As a side note they have the most convoluted discount policies. If you buy x you get a discount on y, but if you buy z you can get x at a steeper discount, but lose out on the discount on y. Or you can buy x and z and get a discount on q and w...

Oh, and my wife told me after the fact that if I had mentioned my AAA card I could have saved $15. :(

Or better yet go in full on Browns face paint? #BrownFace

From her Dallas trip, my wife came back with Cowboys shirts, hat, jersey and jacket. So I told her that I needed something for the Browns. We went to the sports fan sport at Destiny, and I was surprised by the amount of Browns regalia on the clearance rack. I purchased a shirt, and have been going with that. Christmas delivered me two more shirts and a winter hat. I have achieved Browns saturation.

Uh....27-7 without them.

Vison Master (I think that's it) here in Houston often offers 2 for 1, but if you ask, they will give you enough discounts on one pair to make it close to 50% off.

I ended up paying for the new glasses and lenses and getting the lenses for the sunglasses (using my old frames) free.

Places with complex discount policies are just proof that they're overcharging you. If they wanted to be upfront they would just price everything consistently and be done with it. Running some "sale" 365 days a year is dishonest.

Hell, you can't even get a price for something easily because the employees had to plug it into a calculator for a few minutes and figure it out.

They offer stainless steel and titanium. If carbon fiber was a choice, you know we'd be seriously considering.

I was born in Cleveland and am not a Browns fan.

I'm a glutton for punishment though - I grew up in Tampa and am a Bucs fan.

Funny, because when I tell people I am a Browns fan, the most common response is "Well, that's better than being a Tampa Bay fan....."

Our favorite saying is, "There's always next year".

When people ask me who the Browns are playing, I say "The winner."
