It's the end of an era today. I decided not to renew my Browns season tickets. I said if it ever got to the point of being a chore to attend the games, I'd probably give them up. Last year's combination of a really bad team, lousy opponents and not-so-good weather all contributed mightily to that decision.

It won't prevent me from seeing a couple of games, I'm sure. But, at least, for this year, I will be a free agent to watch the home games.

BTW, here is the home record since the Browns have been back, which made the decision much easier:

31 wins and 57 losses. A winning percentage at home of .352. With 7 of those wins in one year, 2007. Ah, the Glory Year!

Eleven years of some incredibly awful football.

Cartoons that have caused controversy. Some of these were really hot at the time.

Capaicin is found in chili peppers. Now it can stop chronic pain.

Crap. Bad habits can age you 12 years.

Kenny Fuckin' Powers goes to Mexico for Season Two. No idea when it starts.

Wrestlers turned actors.

The Tribe needs to get on this. The Wendy O. Williams Bobblehead!

What if the Tea Party was black?

Almost spinoffs. Popular shows that tried to spinoff a show and it didn't quite work the way producers had planned. The Big Ragu didn't make it.

WTF? The owner of Joe Boxer now owns the rights to "Peanuts".

There is always electricity in the air when you get "fatcats" to appear in a Senate hearing. And, yes, I heard Claire McCaskill say "shitty" during the hearing. Sen. Levin loved it so much, he said it a bunch of times.

I give you the catchiest song of the spring...

Before the draft, you can't ask Dez Bryant if his Mom is a prostitute. In the new world of the NFL, that's a fineable offense, not a peek into someone's psyche.
