Anticipation Builds, Bengals Lose

Browns! Steelers! Prime time! Sunday Night Football! Less than four hours away! Finally!

Call me a traditionalist, but I like it when the Browns play at 1 p.m. - I miss it, actually. Sure, it's nice for Cleveland to get some national media attention (provided they don't embarrass us). All I'm saying is, I don't know what to do with myself on Sundays when the Browns don't play at 1 p.m.

Of course I'm watching the other games, that goes without saying. But, the anticipation of the Browns game builds up so much between when I wake up and when the game actually comes on, and watching the other games only makes it worse. That's why I like it when the Browns play at 1 p.m.

Oh well, at least I'm able to watch the other football games on this afternoon. I just finished watching the Bengals-Titans game. Two things I liked about that game: 1) The Bengals lost and 2) Dan Fouts.

Yes, I love seeing the other AFC North teams lose. I couldn't resist texting my buddy Zeeds, a rabid Bengals fan, to ask him what was wrong with the Bengals this year. Believe it or not, I didn't get a response.

Now, as for Dan Fouts ... I mentioned before that him and Keith Jackson are two of my favorite announcers. It's nice to see Dan back in the pro broadcast booth. I hope he gets some Browns games this year (I even don't mind his broadcast partner, Don Crique, all that much).

Since the Browns lost last week, I'm re-evaluating my Sunday routine. So, I haven't read the paper yet. Gonna do that now while I watch the Patriots-Jets game, then I'll post my Browns-Steelers preview.
