    According to the ol' Google machine, the Browns haven't played on Thanksgiving since 1989, with only the LA Rams having a longer Thanksgiving drought, since 1975. Jacksonville Jaguars have never had a Thanksgiving game, but they're a much younger franchise.

    Did not play for the Browns in 1989. 

  • 8-8, but I said that this season and was too optimistic.

    You're right, I have Eric Turner's interception burned in as Thanksgiving......but it wasn't.

    1994 vs Cowboys? 19-14 victory?

    There was a company Christmas party that eve.  VP was a Cowboys fan.   We were both trying to find out what was happening (no smartphones).

    It was probably the turkey and too much stuffing and gravy.  😳

    ...and it wasn't even an INT.  lol    One of his arms was so bad that day that he couldn't even lift it hardly.

    I think I may do that one as well.  Haven't been to an away game for a few years since I "road trip" up to 6-7 home games a year.  I plan on selling some tickets this year.  I plan on selling the Steelers and Colts games.  I know Steeler fans travel and figure there will be plenty of Colts fans looking for tickets.  I had this thing about not wanting visiting fans sitting in my seats.  Screw that, Browns fans don't buy the seats.  I am putting them on the ticket exchange and make some money.  I don't care who sits in them.

    I remember that game. It might have been Eric Turner who stuffed Novacek at the 1 yard line on a TE slant as time expired. 

    I think that game clinched a playoff berth too. Late December.

    *Last time Browns played Dallas in Dallas, I was there. Brandon Weeden Weedenized, threw the ball away on 4th & 3. Then Buster Skrine got called for PI about three plays in a row.  23-20 Cowboys in yet another game the Browns threw away. 

    We did travel for a Thanksgiving game to Dallas, with the "great?" Paul McDonald and got killed back in the 80s.

    Also, it seems there was a scheduling error, we have the Raiders instead of hideous Denver now.

    Go Browns

    I finally  reached that level of  apathy  this year too  'Peen. When I  can't  hardly  give  away tickets to the relatives,  I  reached the  "screw  it" level too. 

    Don't  look at  it as a way to make  money  though.  More like cut your losses. The Rams and Steelers  games were selling  for  well  above face  value,  but some others  were getting  50 cents on a dollar,  and the Bengals game didn't  sell  at all. 🙁

    Ahhhhh, memories.  🙂🙁

    It can be tough being a BROWNS fan..... sometimes.  Good memories from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s though.

    I may consider it myself if a group is going.   Depends on when it is scheduled. I have a couple of Sundays booked with a trip to Utah....mid to late Oct.  Daughter living in SA....I could go see her....or have her come see me.  She liked it last year (2018) when I went to Houston. (though earlier in the year next I am driving down there to SA...then to Houston....for wedding/cruise)

    lol... if it's on Thanksgiving, that's exactly what I have in mind.

    Son-in-law is a 'Boyz fan... daughter is a Browns fan... of course... Grandkids are a mix... but I'll front you a ticket as well, H... and save you a seat wherever we sit down for the pre/post-game meal.

    If it's not a T-day game, it'll just be me and the wife so rendezvous will be easy.

    In either case all bets are off if you bring Gipper as your date...

    No,  I will be your blind date.  

    And I will expect you to put out.

    That is why I am putting them up early.  I figure both of those games will sell above face to loyal fans.  Loyal fans of other teams who can make the easy trip.  

    I don't consider it apathy...at least on my part and don't think that of you.  I think that of the many people I know on boards who talk Browns all day but when it comes to going to games....no, they don't go to games.  Same for the many more I don't know.  I no longer look to put Browns fans in my seats, I am looking for other team colors.  That is who is going to buy them.

    My wording may have been too sharp.  I don't look at it as a way to make money.  That's not the intent, but I know Steeler fans will pay over face to get in the door.  I am thinking the same for Indy.  I may even give up the opener, there is always some degree of excitement for that one.  My being a fan isn't predicated on winning.
