What I Didn't Like
Monday, September 17, 2007
First let me say there are new pictures up.
I decided to make the trip up to the asshole of Ohio and go see the Bengals take on the Browns in Cleveland. The day started off as I expected, we got up early, went to tailgate in the famous Muni Lot and were preparing for the Bengals to whoop up on the Browns.
First let me tell you about the tailgate experience. Some of the fans were great, there was some good natured ribbing and chants of "Asshole" as I walked by in my Palmer jersey. All of this was expected. What was not expected was being tripped, hit, kicked. Having beers thrown at me. Football to the face. Beers being stolen from the cooler. I mean c'mon, I used to stick up for Cleveland but man, you guys proved you have earned your reputation.
Then to the game, what can I say, the Bengals offense came, but the defense did not make the trip.
It was not all bad, I got to hang out with some good people. See god ole Gary who looked like he might die when I first saw him (happy belated Birthday). Most importantly, I learned a new tailgate game. The fans called it Louisville Chugger, and trust me this is one that is going to get a lot of play in Longworth parking lot.
The best part of the day was seeing the sign stating "You are now Leaving Cleveland, Ohio" and I smiled. Because while I get to go home far away from Cleveland, all of those idiots are stuck in one of the worst places on the planet.

People seriously tripped and hit you? In the stadium or at the tailgate? Man, that's really bad, but what do you expect?
I'd want to hit things if I lived in Cleveland too. And looking at some of the pictures, it seems like most Clevelanders have already punched their own faces beyond the point of ugly.
yeah, it was pretty bad. I saw a fight where it was 3 browns fans on one bengals fan. To the credit of the other fans around they broke it up pretty quick but it was just bad. These people were just not cool.
