Ha yeah same for me, I love my 6pm Sunday Browns ritual of beer, food and gamepass.

6pm sounds even better than 7pm!

Agreed. As much as I like the attention, night games are going to screw me up big time.

I have a day job. Even at highschool, I would watch Superbowl till 5am and then have a nice long Monday.

Sometimes I try to get a long nap in the afternoon or at night before the game, but it's demanding for sure. 

Anyway, this year against Jets and Broncos I loved going to bed with such wins. It makes the sacrifice worth it!

State Farm is now my Auto/home insurance carrier....though for years I was with Nationwide.

My Medicare advantage plan is with UnitedHealth.

LOL, hoorta = Motorists. Nice relatively small company based in Columbus. Probably don't pay Archie Griffin much to say "You know us" during Ohio State radio. Medigap = Medical Mutual.  Keep those 'po folk in Cleveland with jobs.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Mutual_of_Ohio

The old now basically extinct VHS tapes and machines were great for that, you could easily record, store on a shelf or lend to anyone......and record over countless times. We still have one but with our cable On Demand now rarely ever used. 

years ago i used to have to work sunday's but my local sports bar here in portland would record the game on vhs for me I would jump off the bus grab the tape and scurry home to watch The Browns

Anybody tired of Aaron Rodgers on TV?

OH and this is who geico hires, now available in their greatest hits.....and YOU can be on a geico commercial:

My data was a little out of date, but it's still crazy- by all the major insurers. Progressive isn't far behind, and they're paying millions for the naming rights on the Tribe's ballpark on top of that.  PS- Flo is not that hideously looking without her garish makeup. Google it if you're interested.  

1. Berkshire Hathaway: (Geico): $935.1 million
2. Allstate Corp.: $654.8 million
3. State Farm Mutual: $608.1 million
4. Progressive Corp.: $604.2 million
5. Nationwide Mutual: $296.7 million
6. Liberty Mutual: $197.0 million
7. UnitedHealth Group: $193.3 million
8. Farmers Insurance Group: $165.8 million
9. American Family Mutual: $148.7 million
10. United Services Auto Assoc.: $133.0 million

Well, their biggest national competitor  (at least with TV ads), Progressive, is based here in the Cleveland area (in  Mayfield...no less!.....maybe that alone is a reason to switch)

You would think maybe that they could do some kind of ad campaign tie in with Baker.  (though I have never seen Progressive use celebrity endorsers)

When I'm not watching the game live with the guys, I actually prefer using DVR. Saves time ignoring the endless Bud Lite and Geico commercials. 

Speaking of Geico with their endless commercials- I finally got around to doing the math. Their 15 million policy holders are paying $80 per in their premiums to foot Geico's $1.2 billion dollar advertising budget. So my advice is to find an insurance company who doesn't feel the need to remind you every 5 minutes how much money you can save by switching.

I don't like watching any sports event which is not live, and I watch streams, so I will have to figure it out... Or keep having little sleeping hours

I'd be shocked if the Browns aren't on Sunday and Monday nights multiple times next season. This is an intriguing story.
