    LMFAO ... Nice new snuggie ... feet warmers ... all you need is a hat!

    Fitting Stan, we are the Court Jesters of the NFL.

    BTW Mark if you're worried- between my cold weather cycling and mountaineering, I have enough cold weather gear to spare to mount an expedition to Antarctica if need be. Let me know.

    I'm only worried about dying of exposure. I don't think the snuggie is for me. I'd rather try to keep warm drinking orange shit than wear that thing. I'm hoping that it isn't 29 and snowing and closer to the balmy 50 that skippy has been promising.

    But as we get closer, I'll get in touch with you for more cold weather gear!

  • Seriously, we went to a Browns game so many years ago, and it was a blizzard, really, really cold.

    I found out that the inflatable browns helmets actually do a great job of keeping the wind off your face,

    insulates from the cold pretty well.

    Well, it doesn't look as dumb as the court jester hat.... GGG

  • Buy your ticket yet?

    When you do you can talk, until then you're just a homo who is afraid of the cold.

    I may be complaining about the cold but at least I'll be there.

    As for game ticket, I have one I will GIVE Z if he makes the trip...ok...he can buy me a stadium beer or two if he chooses.

    Otherwise, I will probably give it to some Hooter's girl...not that she would use it...she would probably give it to her Uncle Ernie, the MIG welder from Lorain.

    And what a cute couple the two of you would make at the game 🙄

    I asked skippy a few weeks ago if I should take you up on the extra ticket that you have and he is still looking at finding tickets apparently. If Zombo wusses out and Skippy can't find me a ticket, I'll take you up on your ticket, I'll even buy you more than two stadium beers if you would like.

    I didn't know you didn't have one.....it's yours if you want it....it's a good seat....sect 534.....you can get a view from the Browns site...

  • Guys, I'll try to finalize some plans for Saturday Night. I'm leaning toward just getting together for a bite to eat, watch football and take it easy. We have a long Tailgate Party (4pm kickoff) the next day.

    Any suggestions? I'm going to suggest we get a large table at Damon's in Middleburg Hts.

    Can you give me and the G Man some suggestions on how we can get to Middleburg when we meet up on Friday night for the Cavs. We'll make our way from the blind pig over to where you guys are. Keeping it low key is probably a good idea, I want to see if I can avoid turning yellow this trip.

    Yeah, still working on that. I'll try to have everything figured out for ya by time I see you Friday.

    Safe Travels!

    Sounds good to me, though I know from 3-7PM I am going to be somewhere to watch the SEC title game.

    After that, it will be some celebrating or going back to the room, get under the sheets and curl up in to the fetal position. 😉

    Hey Peen, are you planning on watching the SEC game downtown somewhere? Me and the G Man should have our Orange and Brown merchandise shopping concluded by then, would be delighted to buy you a beer and catch the game with you.

    Stan, looking forward to sharing a few on Friday night for sure and getting the battle plans drawn up for the remainder of the weekend. Pity that Zombo is staying in Naples to go bikini shopping......for himself.

  • Hey Peen, are you planning on watching the SEC game downtown somewhere?

    In all honesty, I am not sure. A good friend of mine who I met here 20 years ago in our quest to watch Browns games moved back to Cleveland 4 years ago...anyway, he stopped in the bar yesterday as he was visiting his mother who still lives here. Quite the surprise. We get together quite a bit when I go up for games, so we are planning to get together on that Saturday and am going to leave it up to him on where and what we do....as long as my butt is in front of a tv at 3pm.

    His brother was also up and said something about heading to his house in Mentor for a big Italian shin-dig...lot's of guys named Mikey, Vinny, Tony, Frankie....you get the picture.

    I think the best is we will meet up Sunday morning some time.

    See you then

    No problem, say hello to Mickey Blue Eyes for me and see you Sunday morning.

  • Friday Nights the Cavs game. I will get back to you all on where we should meet, I'll rely on Ed for that part. If I were to suggest an establishment to meet at, I'd say let's meet at the Hard Rock Cafe (My buddy Dennis manages that place) prior to the game ... but hold off for now, that is not for sure.

    Saturday, I'm a little unsure if we will even plan anything. Howard and G-man are taking in a little Blind Pig action. Mark is arriving in that afternoon ... I'm pussing out and would love to avoid a heavy day/night of drinking and then feel like shit through the entire 7-hour long tailgate party the next day. There also could be the possibility of attending the High School State Playoff game(s) in Canton (next to the Pro Football Hall of Fame), but if Mark thinks it is cold for Browns games, try the open-end venues of High School Football at night, it's 3x's colder! I'm leaning toward dinner, scoping Milf's, a few beers and in bed by midnight ... what most likely will happen is that I pick Mark up from airport, head straight to the Blind Pig, hit thirty bars downtown with the foreigners (Howie, G-man & Keith), pop bail by 6:00am, head home; shit & shower and be back to sacred Tailgate land by 9:18am.

    Sunday, Anyone later to the tailgate than 9:20am is a soccer fan. Kick-off is at 4:05pm, we will head for the stadium from the tailgate party by 3:30pm. I can pick-up anyone staying at the hotels in Middleburg Hts. My candy-Apple red Mini Van departs at 9:00am sharp! (unless HagII delays me with twenty stops for cigs, atm, burger king, laxatives, gas, hand/feet warmers, etc...)

    OK, glad to say I'm officially in for the weekend- had some issues that needed to be resolved. Howie, (I haven't forgotten- was just really slow on getting around to it) also will have two DVDs of Browns games for you that recall happier times. The 51-0 blowout of the Steelers on opening day 1989 (it's missing about the first 5-10 minutes of the game- damn Bengal blackouts- but that look on Chuck Noll's face in the 4th quarter- priceless) , and the 1987 Browns Jets double overtime playoff game. By far the greatest football game I've ever actually been at- it was so memorable I refused to even look at a replay of the game for about 20 years until a guy from the Dayton Browns Backers gave me a tape of the game and insisted I watch it.

    Unfortunately, can't get off work to take in the Cavs game Friday night, but I will be in town by Saturday afternoon for whatever festivities are going on. I think 'Peen has a good idea- sports bar with the Florida- Alabama game.

    I won't be getting down to the tailgate bright and early- maybe 11AM or so- if you guys start hammering the Orange Stuff any earlier, you'll be passed out by the start of the first quarter anyway. 🙂

    I think you know I come walking around the concrete abutments earlier than most. I wake up at 5am in my own bed....it's more like 3:45am when sleeping in a hotel. You want to get this thing rolling at 6 am, I am in.

    I have a few dozen Muni lot buddies from another board and have regularly joined them before the sun makes it's way up.

    I have done that the last few times up...hit the Muni early before it get's too wild, then walk over to your lot for the festivities....which I prefer to be honest...I just don't like the late start. If I am going to do it, I am going to do it big...

    Gumbo (an old previous member here) and I use to get down there at like 6am and cook omlets for the homeless. I now have to tow the Hag and she slows me down ...
