The Browns Won! THE BROWNS WON!!! I know, I am not a Browns fan and it was one game against the Jets; however, I don’t see why not celebrate if you are a Browns fan. I watched the game and I was excited for the Browns victory. I only wish I was at the stadium especially, when Baker stepped onto the field. What an incredible game. I believe the Browns will win more games this year. I don’t know if they will make it to the playoffs, I am not a football wizard or soothsayer. All I know is that the Browns did good last night. The Defense did the stops when needed to and the Offense scored to take the lead. I am a huge Packers fan but, now I feel like watching as many Brown games as possible. They seem like the exciting team to watch this season. From my perspective they came real close to beating the Steelers and the Saints. Its not like the Steelers and Saints had an easy time tying or beating the Browns.

So far, it has been a crazy NFL season with bad calls, missed kicks and tied games. In my opinion, the hit Clay Matthews did on was a crappy penalty. I know it went against my team but, now I am starting to think the NFL is getting a little carried away with some of the hits on a QB. This is tackle football, not flag or touch football. Last year, the hit on the Rodgers from the Vikings was legit. Yes, it ended the Packers chances of reaching the Super Bowl or at least the playoffs but, it was a legal hit. We have to remember, playing tackle football can cause a serious injury. I don’t like seeing any player on any team get hurt; however, I have watched the game for as long as I can remember and I have even played it at a High School level, I know there is a risk of someone getting hurt. Don’t get me started on determines a catch in the NFL because, I don’t know what it is even more. I am sorry, but the catch Dez Bryant did against the Packers in the playoffs two years ago or however long ago it happened… it was a catch. That is my opinion, I can’t state it as fact because, like I said, when it comes to the NFL I don’t know what is a catch any more.

Anyway, here is hoping your favorite team gets a win except for the Redskins. They are playing the Packers, so I am hoping this week the Redskins lose.

Until next time… Keep your stogies humidified and the beer chilled.
