Let's keep pumping this NFL Opening Weekend Thing

So the duo of Sal Fasano 401K watched one opening day match as a team. This is more like Siskel and Ebert rather than Batman and Robin. Girlfriends and friends who are girls would vouch for that. Together we united and critiqued the NFL during the Cowboys-Browns game.

First off it should be noted that while both of us do not really like football, the Cleveland Browns are our team. For no team has faced more pain that the Cleveland Browns (Bills fans cannot, because they didn't lose their team for five years).

I cannot understand and FOX kept going back to this, would someone want to bring a Cleveland Browns 1964 Team Program to the game. Since it was a decent shape and a scarce collectors item (denoting value) it should be in a safe place. I somehow doubt the safest place would be a football stadium in Cleveland with pretty rowdy fans, who have been known to toss beer bottles at referees, milk bones at John Elway and tons of other trash at Art Modell.

If it were me, that program would be in a clear jacket in a box in a dry, room temp, out of suns rays position.

Fans do bring some of the dumbest stuff to games. Kids can fall under that category.

While I am not saying that kids should never be at ballgames, infants, babies (especially on sunny baseball games, so those kids can develop skin cancer at an early age) should be left with a babysitter. Also they do cry and have diapers, resulting in missing action and angering those who paid to go see a ballgame on their day off.

Work is another thing. Baseball always has this. Someone will go to a baseball game and bring paperwork with them. Did you pay thirty bucks to balance the office budget or to see the Royals score six runs off of C.C. Sabathia? I think the work can stay in the office, especially since reports shouldn't have nacho cheese on them for not being able to move for the guy who bought those nachos.

Really bad jerseys. Now, both of us here at Sal's 401K support Brady Quinn and his quest to be a savior as the Browns QB. However, until he actually plays a down of football.... neh, he actually is named starter of Cleveland, leave your jersey home. This maybe nit picky, but blowing $100 on a Quinn jersey after the draft was a good idea then. Derek Anderson rose to prominence and nullified later sales of the #10 jersey. So keep those at home, bring to the stadium those Eric Couch jerseys or actually spend a c-note on a Kosar jersey. The man is a god.
