Cleveland Browns Finally Win A GameThe team had gone 635 days and 19 straight games since their last victory on Dec. 24, 2016. But they actually did it, defeating the New York Jets, 21-17, in Cleveland behind their No. 1 draft pick, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Baker Mayfield.

We raised the white flag of surrender, turned it off and missed the comeback.

(1,432 posts)It's becoming the norm in sports broadcasting to fill every one air second with drivel no one cares about. Like if we don't know what gas station so & so favored during their college days, or what so & so's cousin did in 1965... as if our enjoyment will drop off if the air waves are not filled with banter, we might change the channel.
Personally, I love the crowd, the emotion, they try to drown it out.

Haven't bothered listening to a Musberger broadcast yet. He's so NOT THE RAIDERS it's not even funny.
