This MNF game couldn't have come on a better week. I'm swamped at work and this will give me Sunday afternoon to catch up on a lot of work, while following some games that will impact the Browns playoff chances but I don't plan to actually watch much football until possibly the game tonight.

Typically by this point in the season many fans were somewhat indifferent to whether they watched the Browns or not because we were 3-9 and playing for draft picks and talking about what new coach we wanted next year... So what's everybody else doing? Spending the day watching other games? Getting stuff done? Spending a rare in-season Sunday out with the family? Christmas shopping?

A little laziness early, then the rest of the day will be spent slowly working on getting the house packed up. I will likely have others games on in the background while I work.


Browns is the Browns

... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Moving?

I'm watching redzone all day. My routine doesn't change even though the Browns aren't playing. I get up every Sunday morning between 6am and 7am, get some food cooking for the day, get my standard list of Sunday morning chores done while listening to WKNR, then at 10am I start watching football and don't stop until the night game is over.


LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

Yup. Sold my house in the city and I'm moving the country. Got a few acres out in Medina County.

It has been my dream since I bought the place. It took me 20 years in my starter home to get there, but I'm finally getting to do it.

My parents own property somewhere in Amish country. Don't know the area or the county. I think it's a couple of hours south of Cleveland. In fracking country. We may build on it at some point in the future after my parents leave it to us. Depends on if we want to spend time on the east coast. We might do an RV pad and use it as a base as well.

That's been a dream of mine for a while, too. The new place has a barn on it already. Depending on how much I'm allowed to enlarge it, that may be in the near future for me. Nothing grandiose like one of those RV buses, just a small RV or perhaps a used 5th Wheel.

I looked at quite a few places in Amish country as my mom was raised there (in Sugarcreek), so I spent a lot of time there as a kid, too. It's a better, quieter, humbler way of life out there. I love everything about it.

Careful.......you might get accused of not being 'hep', ya know, country life, not being in the midst of all that cities have to offer and what not. Well, of just being small minded over all.

You already have the market cornered on that one.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Watching RedZone for the 1pm and 4pm games with my kids. Then I'll watch the SNF.

Knocked out a couple chores earlier today.

Leave for Savannah, GA tomorrow for a week for work and then back again after the holidays.

I'm flipping between the KC-Miami and Cinci-Dallas games, and I'm about to make a meatloaf, baked potato, steamed green beans dinner. Looking forward to Buffalo-Pitt game tonight.

Is the rationale behind rooting for Indy because we have the tie-breaker over them but LV has the tie-breaker over us?

LV already has 5 losses and Indy only has 4. Is there no benefit to getting as many teams as possible to 5 losses or more?

Have you or your mom ever been to/ stayed at "The Inn at Honeyrun".

Millersburg. Just a stones throw(perhaps up to 3 throws) from Sugarcreek. Totally Amish built. 100% Amish cooking. Terrific place.....beautiful.

My wife and I have been there 6-7 times over the years. Been years since. Always stayed in a "honeycomb"(a half circle room built into the side of a hill. I'd say they have 10-12ish.

The term "Serenity" comes to mind.

My mom's boyfriend had a house in Millersburg; I don't know if they ever stayed at the Inn, but I'm sure they knew of it.

That sounds like an amazingly cool place, though. I need to look it up.

We gotta eliminate the Raiders


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Church at 8. Chill. Watched Dunhams Thanksgiving special with my wife. Nap (failed there)

Tonight, a 'zoom' Christmas get together with my family. Me, wife, Sooga, son, brother and his wife and 2 adopted kids (Indiana), nephew, nephew and his wife, brother and his wife in Colorado, sis and her family, and mom and dad. 22 of us I believe.

Indy win Miami loss and LV loss shores up the playoffs more.

this is what I’ve figured as well
