He is 74. He has had seats since the old stadium and he gave them up in 2022 and did not tell me why until this February.

I called him at halftime because it was 21-7 and I did not know what else to do with myself. He picked up on the first ring, which he does not do. He lets it go, and then rings back in an hour when it suits him.

He did not say hello. He said "the tight end." That was the opening.

We talked for eleven minutes about Harold Fannin Jr and he called him 88 the whole time. 88 this, 88 that, keep him inside the ten. Then he said the third quarter was starting and hung up on me.

He rang back at 4:40. Did not say hello then either. He said "thirty five to seven," and then neither of us said anything for a while, and then he asked what time I was up next Sunday.

Went through the eleven third downs and both fourth downs twice. Two of the eight we converted were one man beating one man in space, which is not something you can call.

1. Zion Johnson. He gets walked into his own quarterback on the sack in the second and that is the rep everybody saw. The two I would point at are the second and six on the second drive and the third and three in the third, where he loses the same way both times. Hands late, feet stop, somebody has to come help.
2. Brailsford. Better than a rookie centre has any right to be in that heat, and Jacksonville only made him anchor four or five times all afternoon. Somebody will put a real nose over him in October.
3. Four sacks. Two of them are the quarterback holding it. One is Johnson. One is a stunt that nobody passed off and I still cannot tell you whose it was.
4. Both fourth downs. The Monsour calls were fine and both got blown up at the point of attack. The spot is going to eat the whole week and the spot is not the reason we did not get it.
5. Iheanachor spent four hours on Josh Hines-Allen and I cannot find the rep where he loses. That is the ninth pick and it also happened today.

Last thing. Mansor took both fourth downs onto himself afterwards and never mentioned the spot, and I thought that was right even though I did not like the second call.

None of this changes the score. We won by 28, we ran it at 6.2 a carry and I enjoyed all of it. The interior is a real problem and the only reason it is not the story tonight is that we scored on the drives where it did not cost us.

I am not going to pretend yesterday did not happen. I watched every snap of it and I was happy at the end like the rest of you. I still do not want this man running the Cleveland Browns. Putting it down once so I can stop typing it into other people's threads.

1. My uncle coached high school football in this state for thirty one years and retired as a JV coordinator. He is not owed an NFL job and that is not the argument. The argument is that there is a line four thousand deep of people who have done that work, and the family handed the chair to a man with a channel. The sport is worse for it whether we win twelve games or four.

2. January. I am not defending what that man did and I never have, not in here and not anywhere. I did not need my football team's head coach holding a press conference about his own moral character on day two and I am allowed to have found it distasteful. Half of you found it moving. I watched a different video than you did.

3. Yesterday was fun, and it was Jacksonville in September and they quit in the second quarter. I would like somebody to tell me in six weeks that I was wrong. I do not think anybody will be able to.

Downvote it, that is fine. I have had this flair since 2019 and I have been wrong before.
