Can't disagree with THAT! It's really a shame the game has changed so much, the ref's can't stay out of the way no matter how ticky-tack the infraction is, and there's no such thing as a "weather game" any more, at least for the playoffs.
Some day, the Cleveland Browns will come back to their rightful place as one of the NFL's original founding teams and champions...and then they'll go off to the Super Bowl and totally wilt in some over-heated, domed stadium, besides being called for a record 63 penalties because they're playing a favored "big media market" team...I'm sure I will see this in my lifetime! ;)
I think about some of the great players of the 50s and 60s and they must be absolutely aghast at what the game has become. Especially the amount of money that is tossed around. These kids that celebrate a big play when their team is down by 20 point are a disgrace. Yeah, you are so special that your team is losing. It’s less about the team and more about the individual.
Cleveland had some great teams and players back then. I think that there are too many teams today as well. The talent is diluted. However, the NFL is a major cash cow. They will not cut teams.
