Ibleedbrown Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Any day now we’ll get the “how will the Browns handle the spotlight?” headlines with comparisons to last year and the high expectations of up and coming Baker Mayfield and offensive mastermind Freddie Kitchens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrb12711 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 look, I know I should be happy the Browns are actually a team that is getting flexed to prime time. But man, idc if it makes me sound old I hate the late evening games (college and pro). Having them two weeks in a row now is a pisser.

I don't have a lot of work lately (freelance Architect FTW 😑) so I might even watch it live. If I don't tape games if I can't watch them live.

TexasAg1969 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Damn just realized that is the day we had chosen to drive back to Texas without stopping. Leave at 5 am CDT with 15 hour drive puts us in around halftime.

The purpose of driving straight through is to minimize COVID exposure. Saying in motels makes the top 5 in exposure locations. In fact staying at a B&B is why the brother of wifey's best friend is now into his 4th month on a vent and is just now slowly being weaned off.

You are in your 70s , right? So, no, just go like 8-9 hours, get a hotel, watch the game and finish the trip the next day. What is your hurry? You are retired, aren't you? And you can afford to get a hotel. I am in my late 60s and do my fair share of traveling as you know, and no way am I going to do that, even if I share driving with my wife.

I spent a week driving in upstate NY in Sept. staying in hotels. I spent a week driving around Colorado in October, staying in hotels. So I just don't think staying in hotels is that big of a risk. You risk is being around unmasked people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SdBacker80 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Had this one circled regardless. Glad it is prime time and 5pm start for us. My house is truly divided. Wife and oldest daughter Giants fans. Youngest daughter and sdbacker80 for the good guys. We will have the game on in two separate rooms. I was going to break out the OBJ Tshirt Jersey for this one until he got hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in my late 60s and do my fair share of traveling as you know, and no way am I going to do that, even if I share driving with my wife. We are two on and two off all the way and do not really find it difficult. You have to remember we live in a state where a 3-4 hour trip is nothing. We take breaks for gas/bathroom with masks and Clorox wipes for doors, toilet lids for her. We get takeout and eat it in the car (Sonic is a good place for that). It's just not that hard really. And the most recent guidelines with this fall jump in cases spot these 5 most likely places to get it.

She’s been to First Energy. She’s think we are all a little nuts but understands losing can do that. Our oldest daughter saw too many Browns low lights to latch onto us. I claimed the youngest as a Browns fan as soon as she was born. I watch their game they watch mine. The OBJ trade was a little tough on the family. She’s not just a casual giants fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 400 mile trip to North Carolina got split up both ways. I wasn't about to drive through two lane backcountry mountain roads there in the dark not knowing exactly where I was going. How bad was it? On the way back some yahoo thought it would be a good idea to jump the three cars in front of him around a curve- and took out a guy's car coming the other way. I was safely far enough back to hit the brakes and avoid the mess. No injuries, but both cars were totaled. We were so far out in the sticks, didn't even have cell coverage to call the state police. Had to flag a lady down who was nice enough to say when she got home she'd put in an emergency call, and contact the affected parties contacts to tell them they were going to need a ride home.
