Browns v. Colts

The Go Couch, pictured above, has become a familiar sight at Browns tailgating in the Municipal lot over the last year or so. Recently, Mike Merideth, the architect of this motorized relaxation device was given a ticket by the Cleveland Police Department as he drove the couch over the 9th street bridge to get to the lot. The ticket was for having expired plates and driving an unregistered vehicle. (How can you have both at the same time?).

Times are tough and Mike wasn't sure he'd have enough money to pay the ticket so he collected donations as he drove around the lot. He believes he has more than enough and plans to donate anything above the cost of the ticket to the Make a Wish Foundation. He would like to get a company or individual to match his donation so that it could be used by kids this holiday season. You can reach Mike at
gonemad347@aol.com if you are in a position to help.

Other Browns fans were not in quite as charitable mood especially toward the team. The WE BELIEVE bus seemed to have developed engine trouble. The photo below was a metaphor for how some fans felt even before the game had started.


The t-shirt vendor below was selling the shirts below that were so mean that he didn't want to show his face in the picture. (They were funny though.)


Other fans voiced their desire to replace coach Romeo Crennel. Someone was passing out signs that said Cowher Power cowher09.com. The site is part of an effort to draft Bill Cowher to be coach of the Browns. The "fans" below had their own "in your face" way of saying the same thing.
