Speaking of tickets, the year gets better and better---Brady will return for game #5 in Cleveland. I can now price gouge the hell out of all his little fanbois.

Now if our beloved Crows can take care of business---perhaps a trip to the Grand Final for my first ever game is not out of the realm of possibility. :)

And now Brock Lesnar has pissed hot as well, joining Jon Jones as fighters likely to be suspended in the aftermath of UFC 200.

Apparently this is the 3rd time a fighter has tested positive before/after a fight involving Mark Hunt. I know Bigfoot was one of them, who was the other? Overeem?

Glad to see Henrik get up. Jack Miller nearly pulled off another miracle again in the MotoGP last night.
 
Pakistani cricket has had way too much turmoil, get it back on track and its good for all concerned.

Just sitting here watching the ESPN 30 for 30 Doco "Believeland", about Cleveland and the sporting teams and the city itself.

Wow, you guys are tough. To go 50 years without any sporting success across three sports I can't fathom that. Especially how close each franchise got multiple times, but failed over that time. Can now understand better how Lebron collapsed after winning the NBA Championship.

I am guessing you give a lil chuckle when we talk about a cold game at the footy being a bit of rain and temperature just below 10C.........


Also good to see the number 32 being a respected number with the Browns, with Jim Brown wearing it and being a part of their last NFL Championship. I think I just found an NFL team to follow.........

Yes, I was not sure (at 45) if I would live long enough to see it happen...but by god it finally did. Really we are still basking in it and the summer weather has been pretty awesome to boot. Heck, the Indians (our baseball team) are sitting in first place at the moment. I think we entered some bizarro alternate universe the last two months. Not that I am complaining.

Definitely had to be tough to barrack our sides and actually one of the things I really liked when I watched Adelaide in the mid 90's was how passionate the fans were. Many many similarities down to the chip on our collective shoulders about "bigger market" teams.

Oh boy..well I must be honest with you, the Browns are bottom of the barrel and look to be for the next couple of years as well. Dysfunction and horrendous draft choices have been the norm the last decade plus. If you can stomach a complete rebuild then by all means climb aboard as there is absolutely no band wagon here.

I also happen to know a bloke with season tickets so if you ever get up this way, I got you covered. ;)

You are absolutely right, it is hilarious when I listen to guys on radio or tv talking about how cold it is at the Oval--when I am thinking that would be almost short sleeve and shorts weather for us at a Browns game. :p

Indians have a good pitcher and batting lineup. Just don't rate their short stop. He needs to get down to the ball. None of this Ole bullshit.

I'm not trying to be mean, but in a perverse way I am looking forward to watching Browns games and RG3 trying to be a pocket passer this year.

I think there are some real similarities between the two cities and the people that live in them.


I love watching NFL, great way to waste a day. But have never really liked one team. I hover between Oakland (colours) and Seattle as my wife's uncle lives there. However would not say I am a fan of either team.

This season I will watch some more Browns games, well as many as they show on our TV here.

I'm with the Chiefs AC, but when NFL season rolls around I've got a shine for the Browns now thanks to you ...

... and the fans who dress up as dogs. That's a step up the mental health stakes from going to a game and whacking a piece of cheese on your head. :p

So none then? Seriously, I'm a Miami Dolphins fan and I'll be lucky to see one game a season televised over here. Foxtel's NFL coverage is awful. NBA too in fact (Orlando Magic). They seem to pick 2-3 teams a year and just show their games every week. Not sure what kind of licensing deal they have, but for the money they charge for the service, it's disgraceful. I assume they are restricted to what games ESPN televise. Do you know if any free to air channels still show some games? I remember channel 10 broadcasting a game a week a few years back.

That sucks.

I am not sure about NFL scheduling here. I just watch random games without following an actual team.
