Disgruntled? You could say that.

Well, I wasn't able to make it to the Minnesota Vikings game. I had my best friends bachelor party, and was out of town.

We hurried up and cleaned the lodge we rented, so we could be on the road to make it home for the Browns game.

As we drove through Columbus and towards Cleveland, we saw a ton of Browns fans heading down to the Cleveland area to watch the game, albeit at the stadium or a local watering hole.

Should've told them the roads were closed or that the game was canceled.

Little did they know the Adrain Peterson train was rolling through Northeast Ohio that day.

Then we had the Broncos game. Was that even a game? It was embarrassing. There's no other way to describe it.

Next we play the Ravens, in Baltimore. Should I even focus my entire Sunday around this game? You and I both know that I will, but will it be more enjoyable than stepping on a Lego in the dark? The Broncos game sure wasn't, and the Ravens look like Super Bowl contenders. Browns...they are just pretenders.

The Browns honestly may not win a game until the end of November, when the Detroit Lions come to town. And that may even be a reach. Despite their record, they WERE better than the Browns last year.

That being said, I've put my Cincinatti Bengals tickets up for sale. It's a sad day when a die hard, season ticket holding Browns fan can't even muster up the rally to attend a home game.

Let's look at the finances of going to a Browns game for a quick minute:

(2) tickets = $100 total
(2) parking spaces (one for the van, other to tailgate in) = $30 total
Gas for the van = $20
Food = $25 (and that's on the low end)
Beer/Drinks = $20
Propane tanks = $10

So, on the day of a home game, I've dropped $205...and I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN INTO THE STADIUM YET! That's a tough pill to swallow, for such a shitty product.

The Browns are so bad and break my heart so often, I had to be sure I was current on my Life Insurance Policy, so I contacted my Insurance Agent to be sure. Gabe Cicconetti had this to say:

"Well Joe...I don't know what really to say except that I cannot believe that I will have to pay $25 to Muni-lot garage this year for the Browns games. It is so frustrating that as fans we are charged outrageous ticket prices for a sub-par product, $7 for beer, over $4 for a bottle of water, and now the city wants to get in on the action and start digging deeper in our other pocket for parking. It's disheartening that we (Browns fans) are the only people embarking on the city of Cleveland to spend money on a Sunday (or any day for that matter) and the city feels that it is necessary to take advantage of tens of thousands of people that actually still support a business that calls Cleveland home. I look at it this way, how long would I continue to go to my favorite restaurant if every time I go the food sucks but they keep promising it will get better on my next visit, so I keep going back, but now the hostess starts punching me in the face every time I go in. Not sure how long I or anyone could continue to put up with that."

Well said, Gabe. I couldn't of said it better myself.

Tailgating is the only fun a Browns fan has on Sunday. If you don't believe me, hit the ATM and come down on a Sunday and ask them. While at that ATM, got a few hundred I can borrow?
