<![CDATA[Lowering ticket prices is a sure sign....]]>When a organization is lowering home tickets that is a proof of desperation to keep fans in the seats, no matter how the team plays. As if to say, Dear Browns fans,

We are aware this team is not winning no matter what we try to change. So the front office is begging you not to turn your backs on us, and to show our thoughts of our fans, we will lower future ticket prices to keep you at the game.

Well, I don't see why anyone will go to a game no matter what the lowered price is. Why not let the fans in free? I mean, its not like your paying the fans millions to sit in the stadium every week.

Maybe if the fans that drive to the game actually stayed home, how much does this effect the team on the field, not a damn thing, it only hurts the ownership and money it brings in to pay the stadium bills, and players. So, if you cant afford to pay for your property, then the collection notices will begin showing up in the mail and then it will be time to close down the store.

The real Cleveland Browns stopped playing in 1995. Since the new team was developed in 1999, its been a true "true mistake by the lake".

Staying at the Galvez? http://www.hotelgalvez.com/

Nah, I think we are just going to Red Roof it.

Nice digs with an honest to goodness WWII pill box in its front lawn.

Eats-wise Guido's is a Galveston landmark, if a bit dated, and Landry's is the "new kid" in the area... at least relatively speaking. Ate well at both in a four-day stay in March, 2015. In a shorter stay I recommend one or the other... too many other interesting hole-in-the-wall places.

Thanks for the tip.

It's located at the site of the old Ft. Crockett and the San Luis Hotel (Resort) is built just behind the old Battery Hoskins 12 " gun emplacement. Galvez was completed/opened in 1911further up the seawall from Ft. Crockett. My grandfather was a coastal artillery officer stationed there before WW I and won my grandmother's hand in marriage after he had waded through waters, winds and rain during the 1915 hurricane to inquire as to her safety. She and her family had survived the 1900 hurricane so she had reason to be impressed by the young Capt. She dumped her other suitor like a hot potato who took several days after the storm to show up.

In NASA area I can recommend a couple places including a fabulous Italian place, Frenchie's Villa Capri in nearby Seabrook, TX up NASA Road 1 from the JSC. Unfortunately you may not be able to dine outside in December... great veranda with a beautiful view of Clear Lake... which is really not a lake. If you go try the Lobster Fri Diavolo... especially if it features one tail as they are flown in fresh.

Wife #2 and I were married there, but i still think of it fondly... 😉

Downscale the Seabrook Classic Cafe is amazing... best chicken fried steak I've had.

Just might meet you down Houston way next year Tour. Pretty sure they have a few nice restaurants there. If you're making a Cleveland trip let me know- I'll save you one of my seats.

Will do on the CLE trip...

Can't swing a dead cat without hitting a great restaurant in Houston... and some will even cook the cat for you.

If you do, we'll have to hit Pappa's Steak House, if we can get in. Pricey has hell, but the biggest wine book I've ever seen... unfortunately their mark ups are as big as their book.

http://pappasbros.com/location/houston-galleria

If not there, then Perry's Steak House. Food is as good or better. Wines are still pricey, but closer to reality than Pappa's.

http://www.perryssteakhouse.com/menu-locations/houston/memorial-city/

And there's always Spec's Liquor Warehouse's Main Store. You may have seen a wider selection of wines under one roof, but I haven't.

Ditto here. The losing blows but I won't stay away.

We'll have the Packers and Vikings at home, and home games vs a couple AFC South teams. A home game vs either the AFC East last place or AFC West last place in addition to our division foes (woes lol).

Road trip to Detroit or Chicago wouldn't be bad either. Go Browns.

BB was Paul Brown's handpicked successor as the next Browns successful long-term coach. So, yes, he could have been here a while. And he wanted to be here a while.

I will walk away now before I get angry.

Paul Brown? WTF did Paul Brown have to do with hiring BB? He was owner of the Bengals. In fact, I think PB died before BB became coach of the Browns.

Just one winning season out of 5 with BB here. But....he was turning it around until Modell fucked everything here.

Maybe yinzers ought to consider yisselves lucky. Maybe if Modell had sold out to Al Lerner and BB had stayed....and if he coached like he did in NE, the Browns could have been a dominant team for a long time.

Just speculating.
