Cleveland without end, Amen

Thought Bengals fans might enjoy this exchange with a Browns fan. A few things before you read it:

(1) I was wrong. The Browns overachieved. The Bengals achieved not at all. So much for optimism as it pertains to the home football team. The Browns are clearly the better team, have been since Week 2. Browns fans right; Doc wrong.

(2) After reading this guy's message to me from yesterday, no wonder Bengals fans dislike the dopes up north. Here it is:


Subject: Cleveland Browns
Dear Sir,
It is at this festive time of year that we endeavor to make some small provision for the poor. It is also at this time of year that people often become introspective and try to make themselves into better persons, perhaps by becoming more honest or raising their integrity level.
Do you remember this conversation from September?

(From me, back in September: Thanks, Tom... do me a favor: when the browns have a better record at the end of the year, write back and tell me how wrong I was... I'll be happy to acknowledge it, on the blog and on the air on 700 wlw... of course, if the bengals own the better record, i'll expect the same from you... thanks for reading...Paul)

Consider this to be an opportunity to improve your standing with the Lord as to being honest and having integrity. Browns fans everywhere look forward to reading your acknowledgement as to the excellent season they have experienced that you, in all you wisdom and experience, did not see coming. (oline wins games, Browns is vastly improved, this was not that hard to predict, just as the demise of the Bengals can also be in large part traced to the reduced performance level of their oline.)
Thanks and God bless us everyone!

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I really hope this improves my standing w/the Lord, who is a Browns fan.
