2018 Cleveland Browns Off Season Thread

40k. I was still shocked that somebody would pay that much to watch 8 Browns games.

Lmao at the end of the year, I debated not paying the 4.99 it cost me to watch CBS All Access. I could not imagine paying 40k.

I'm old enough to remember Hue Jackson giving this same exact speech with Brock Osweiler sitting his long legged ass in the front row.

Its almost a complete write off. Whether it be entertaining customers or employees.

Does that include the tickets or are those a separate cost?

I would pay to not attend Browns games. It’s almost always a shitty experience. Maybe when they’re good I’ll change my stance, but I hate watching the Browns live. Takes so much more time of my day and money when for the last forever you know the result going in

It’s pretty fucking sad that by far my favorite team of the 3 I haven’t seen live in 3 or 4 years By choice

$40k gets you 20 movie theater cushion seats right in front of the suite. It gives you full comms of food and drinks. VIP parking and early access to the stadium. You get office space that you can use on non game days for business and meetings. A bunch of other perks. It's really nice if you get to sit in there but you either need to be ballin outta control or put a nice lil team together to afford one.

Tickets to sit on the 50 yard line in the upper level against Green Bay last year were $12. I must say it was amazing to watch that shit in person. It's one thing when I'm at the house and I feel my energy being drained but to see thousands of complete strangers sharing your same emotion of what the fucks is a thing in itself. Nothing like it lol.

Yep. Even longer for me. I honestly cannot remember the last time I went to a Browns game. Probably about 15 years ago.

Whether I go to a game or not in the near future (or spend a dime on anything Browns related at all) will depend on what happens in the draft.

I swear on everything that the whole stadium knew a split second before Kizer threw that pass that he was about to do something stupid. I still can't believe he threw that pass.

Corporations use it as a tax write off

Its not a tax write off, I really hate how often miss used and misunderstood that expression is.

Its an expense paid by the corporation. The expense is justifiable because it is used to entertain clients who give them business.

The expense is against taxable income, thus it reduces the amount of income taxes you pay, but its an expense not a write off. It means the company still pays about 80% of the tickets. And if its a publicly traded company, you do have to answer to the share holders for the expenses.

Browns games are worthwhile just for the experience, my man.

I was front row, 50 yard-line a few years ago when we blew the Indianapolis game last minute (25-24). We were 7-4 or 7-5 and still clinging to a shot at the playoffs then.

Billy Cundiff missed multiple field goal attempts.

He's over there, head down, and a few fans beside me kept yelling at Cundiff, "BILLLLLY. HEY BILLLLLLY! Don't kill yourself, man. It isn't worth it. It's just football."

He turns away from the stands with his giant jacket on, clearly upset and clearly heard them.

Just then, that stupid Brownie the Elf mascot goes trotting by. Some guy start yelling, "Hey Brownie! Brownie come here!"

Brownie sneaks up to the edge, the guy says calmly "Brownie, will you go talk to Cundiff? I'm pretty sure he's going to kill himself."

That dopey elf strolls over, pats Cundiff on the back twice, looks back at the stands, gives a thumbs up, and then skips off.

Cundiff turns around pissed and flips us off. Wish I had my phone out to get a picture of it.

Good times.


Sigh... I wonder if Billy Cundiff ever got the help he needed.

Does that include the two preseason games? That is a dealbreaker.

To make matters worse I was there with my asshole friend who’s a Packers fan.

Fucking Kizer.
