[image-1]When the Browns topped the Chargers on Christmas Eve it seemed the long battle over the reverse perfect season 0-16 parade would finally be over. No winless season, no parade, and with that, the end of weeks of rants about and defenses of a celebration that would never happen. The only real news, besides the cancellation of the parade itself, was that the $10,000 or so raised by the parade’s organizers through an online campaign would be donated to the Cleveland Food Bank and that the Browns, in a rare show of good public relations and self awareness, would match that sum. Some’s well that ends in a 1-15 season, it seemed.

But no. One area sports talk hanger-on wouldn’t let well enough alone yesterday. Mark Munch Bishop from ESPN Cleveland dug deep into his brown and orange-tinged boostertastic soul and unleashed a take as hot as Jimmy Haslam’s cheeks.

No cred 2 crud, you guys.

Anyway, @reflog_18 will be keeping track of Munch’s pledge to raise an additional $20,000 for the Food Bank before the end of the calendar year.

  2. Love Munch, but shut the fuck up. To basically say you are ok for the needy to get less because of your opinion on the sports team in town is childish and lame. Get over yourself Mark…some things are more important than your opinion on how to be a good Browns fan.

  3. What a stupid statement! How could someone possibly see that $20,000 going to the Cleveland Food Bank is a bad thing? Get over yourself and if you really meant what you said about raising the money, DO IT! and don’t look for a pat on the back for it!

  5. Right, pal. Deny the needy and the homeless extra food because it came from what would have been a fun and zany event that put Cleveland in the positive national spotlight once again…and showed we have a sense of humor.

    Instead, some babbling radio sportsclown, who was an even bigger asswipe during his time in front of the TV cameras, has to get in a few last licks, and mouth off about the one positive thing to come out of this pathetic Brown season-from-hell. Who gives a shit what he thinks?

    And who even listens to these lame radio motormouths anymore? Go kiss Rizzo’s ass, you dumb jamoke.

    Two final words: Fuck him…

  7. I don’t know why they replaced Lanigan with both Nolan and Kullik when they already had a crotchety jagoff they could have easily filled his shoes.
