four point play.…
1. I didn’t watch the last 13 games of the Cleveland Browns’ 2017 season. Somewhere between the concussion saga, non-guaranteed NFL contracts, reactions to Colin Kaepernick, and the general sucktitude of Cleveland’s squad, I made the executive decision to stop watching my beloved Brownies.
It felt strange. This was a team that I had watched, no matter what, for decades. When I first moved from Ohio to NYC in 2004, I searched out the New York City chapter of the Browns Backers club. Before streaming, one had to rely on the club viewing parties at Blondies in order to watch the games.
