CLEVELAND — “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
Bud: Even during a bye week the Browns lost ground in the AFC North. Where was the motivation? — Radu Marinescu, Glendale, AZ.
Would it make you feel any better to know they fell further behind the Ravens as a team, not as a group?

Bud: With their new 2019-20 roster, will the Cavs scrub the idea of a facial recognition security system this season? — Jim Corrigan, Fairview Park.
Field house security working the players entrance will rely on the planned “Hi, My Name Is…” lapel stickers.
Bud: Is it true the Browns pay the Plain Dealer to not deliver the newspaper on Mondays? — Ken K, Independence.
I believe that was only the case during the 1-31 stretch in which the team also asked TV stations to skip game recaps and use the more exciting alternative programming of Swagger getting his flea and tick treatment.
Bud: Can a defensive player lead the league in sacks and win Defensive Player of the Year if he has no additional tackles? — O. Bill Stone.
Ladies and gentlemen, apparently the guy who punched Myles Garrett has a pen name.
Bud: Is Odell Beckham still using his Giants’ playbook? — Andy Haag, Canton.
No. It’s just that if you think of Eli Manning and Baker Mayfield in baseball terms, Beckham has gone from trying to time the eephus pitch to trying to connect with Nolan Ryan’s fastball.
@Junior41227 (After reading last week’s Shaw’s Spin) What is this? I think you forgot the rest of the article. A fifth grader could’ve wrote this.
Written.
Bud: Did you find your way out of the corn maze this past Sunday afternoon in time to pick some apples? — Jim Corrigan, Fairview Park.
I don’t like to brag but I played golf on bye-week Sunday and met my goal of incurring at least three fewer penalties than the Browns did against Tennessee.
Bud: Is Freddie Kitchens giving autographed yellow flags this Halloween? — Michael Sarro.
You Said It winners are the circus peanuts in a bag full of candy corn.
