      Regardless what the REAL story may be regarding Garoppolo and McCarron, regardless whether you wanted either or not, these moves/non moves result in Browns' Fans being blind sided once again. Perception among most Fans, media, other NFL teams, & the league itself is that this is the most inept, dysfunctional, & laughable franchise in the league.

      Our next home game is 11/19/17. Unless something drastic (starting with the naming of a REAL Team President) takes place before, my current plan is to drive to Cleveland, tailgate, walk to the stadium, & remain outside. I want my seats to be EMPTY, therefore I will neither sell nor give them away. Imagine the message sent if a huge number of Fans did the same. Jimmy, Dee, and their lackeys could look out & see more Browns' Fans in the streets & parking lots than in the seats. "Sow & ye shall reap".

      Am I pissed?..................Damn right I am!

      Mike 

      Seats already sold don't matter to these guys....except of course for the fact that these customers will not be buying vastly overpriced beer.  (FYI...I have never bought a beer at the stadium at the few games I have gone to over the last couple of decades...refuse to pay those prices).

      The one thing that might get the owner's attention is a massive NON-Renewal of Season Tickets for next year.

      I know a number of you are season ticket holders.   (I am not).   Would you consider not renewing your seats?

      Considered, yes- but not seriously. I've posted this on the board a bunch of times. Go look it up on StubHub, Section 111, row 9. Issue is, I've held those seats since the Browns came back in 1999, I got in on my pal's seniority which was 17 more years on top of that. And If I ever dumped them, it would probably cost me at least $20,000 to buy back into that section in the unlikely event the Browns ever started playing respectable. I've jokingly said you're more married to your seats than your wife. 

      Welcome to empty stadium-ville Jimmy. You can get tickets to the Jags game starting at $10, (with plenty of opportunity to move down.) We just dumped our remaining games for 40 cents on the dollar.

        It's the off week. Mike's not really giving up, just having an off week.😆

        Mik came back, Ghoolie came back, I was on loan to Real Madrid. 😛

            Yes, muy cheapo. $10 to get in the building with the opportunity to move down to middle upper deck. Parking will probably cost you more. In between 40s field level (terrific seats) are available for slightly above face value, $95

              For the record, perception is not reality.

                0-8 is reality sorry about that. Season ticket holders so POed they're virtually giving tickets away is reality. FWIW, I put my very decent tickets for the Jags and Ravens games up on facebook for free to the couple dozen friends and relatives I have in Cleveland- and got no takers.

                  Do you just have an automatic machine that posts this on every thread? Because it has nothing to do with what’s going on.

                        So you're telling us ignore our perceptions. Because somehow there's a deeper "reality" going on that somehow I'm missing out on? 😆 😆😆

                          Uhh, no. I think the point was that the [false] perception by outsiders and media is reality, and that is not true.

                            No..because only the the sunshine pumpers can somehow see the future and see that the guys in charge who have passed on numerous franchise players are going to suddenly next year make the right decisions.  That somehow 0-8 and 1-23 aren't that bad.
