“You Said It" is a reader participation column based on the premise that if you don't laugh about Cleveland sports you'll cry.
And that if you do laugh about Cleveland sports, you might still end up crying. But at least friends and family might occasionally like being around you.
YOU SAID IT
Hey Bud: I'm thinking the words "whoopty hell" can also be used to describe what it is like to sit and watch the Browns play under Freddie Kitchens. Does it help much that you are getting paid to do it? — Nate J., Brunswick.
I do take comfort in the knowledge that while I’m not making a fortune watching the Browns, it stands to reason I must be making more than Freddie Kitchens’ challenge flag adviser.
Bud: If Baker had to see ghosts, why couldn't it have been Casper? — Pat.
The occasions when you look at Baker Mayfield and see the ghost of DeShone Kizer are of much greater concern.
Bud: Belichick got 300? Did you ever get a 300? — CJ, Avon Lake.
Not if you’re talking bowling but yes if you mean the SATs.
Bud: "I rarely go for it on fourth and eleven, but when I do, I make it fourth and sixteen.” Could Freddie Kitchens become the next Most Interesting Man In The World? — Michael Sarro.
Legend says the Most Interesting Man In The World once parallel parked a train and later slammed a revolving door. The Dos Equis people obviously thought it would stretch credibility too much to say he also got a premier NFL job based on a couple months of play calling.
Bud: Take away the Browns turnovers and NE touchdowns and it was a good game — Jim Earley.
A million Browns fans suddenly feel not even a little better.
Bud: Coach Kitchens stated in his presser when asked if he may be overwhelmed, “I’m calling the plays, I’m the head coach.” Is Coach Kitchens also “driving the bus?” — O. Bill Stone.
Hue Jackson, and no one else, approves this message.
Bud: Do you think the Browns practice field should have an "invisible fence" installed at the line of scrimmage to limit off side penalties? — Brent Collins, Strongsville.
That sounds like an idea only the Marquis de Sade would come up with. Or Eric Mangini.
Bud: Does LeBron’s disappointing response to the NBA’s situation with China have anything to do with him trying to trademark the term ‘Tiananmen Tuesdays’? — Jim Corrigan, Fairview Park.
You Said It winners are ready to send in another submission an hour later.
