If you've seen pictures taken from our seats on this site, you know that we sit pretty high. Those seats give us a pretty good view of the entire field. Those seats also give us a view of the seats behind the Browns sideline. During the first half we noticed a bunch of empties in the front row around the 40 yard line. Considering the game wasn't providing much excitement, we decided to venture down to those seats during halftime. This was the first time we took the walk of shame (usual long, depressing walk down the ramps) before the team was finished losing.
We had no trouble relocating to our new seats. Apparently things are so bad with this team that three guys wearing bright orange panchos and sombreros don't draw enough attention to ask for our tickets.
So, there were some interesting things we noticed while sitting in our new seats. Romeo Crennel is terrible. We were keeping an eye on him to see if maybe we'd see some fire out of him. Nope. He pretty much just stood around, seemingly oblivious to the action going on around him. We did see him say one thing to a player. It was after a punt. He said "Nice punt" to the punter. You're really earning those millions, coach. This guy seriously wants to get fired. He did just enough to get a contract extension before the season started. Now his mission is to get canned, so he can keep cashing in those fat paychecks while he's sitting on the couch, stuffing his face with pizza and chicken wings. I'd say he's smarter than us all.
Another interesting development came near the end of the game. The fans were a little upset with the typical poor play of the team. They were making their opinions known, as they have the right to do so. Well, Shaun Smith and D'Quell Jackson decided to turn around and start swearing back at the fans. Shaun and Dee-Quell were telling the fans to put on a helmet, go out on the field and play. They must not have too much faith in the team, either, if they think the fans could do a better job than them. Now, I don't know if it is a common thing for Browns players to taunt their own fans, as this was the first time we've sat close enough to see. Perhaps it is an unfortunate coincidence. Let's chalk it up to that.
Can't wait for that last home game...
A guy dressed up like Romeo. Somehow, he didn't make it in this picture.
A little closer than our normal seats.
There's Romeo.
That's Brady sitting up on the bench.
At least Romeo is facing the right direction.
Braylon's talking to Dorsey. This was before D.A. got hurt.
Now he's talking to Brady. This was also before D.A. got hurt. We didn't notice him talking to D.A., who was the quarterback at the time.
There's always next year...
