You should have seen what Brutus did on their Snapchat page...

Yesterday an ambitious, creative, devious Ohio State backer managed to hack the M_chigan football Instagram page and change the avatar to Brutus, and Instagram a picture of Brutus taking his frustrataion out on a Maize-and-Blue pinata. Awesome.


A screenshot was grabbed by Instagram user The Real Slacker, and thank you to CBS Detroit and Bleacher Report for capturing the awesomeness.

No word on what Brutus was doing to the pinata in the Snapchat that wasn't screen-captured.

Freedom '13: Reaching the breaking point with the Browns

Just say no!
Today's game against that bullying big brother known as the Steelers may be the one that makes Browns' Sundays just another day of the week for many people. Instead of watching the un-killable Brandon Weeden start against the Jaguars next weekend, folks may take the time to winterize the car, paint the den, or visit the new atrium at the art museum; it's supposed to be very nice. 


Breaking up with the 2013 Browns doesn't make you disloyal, it makes you smart. Reports from FirstEnergy Stadium  had perhaps 60,000 people at today's game. Next week's meaningless contest against Jacksonville may have 30,000 empty seats, and if that transpires I would say, "Huzzah." 

What we think the Browns will do today against the Steelers (Week 12)

Steelers 21


Oh who knows. This maybe should be the "Loser Leaves Town Match" indeed. Smart play from Campbell, however, should get the Browns an easy victory.

This is game will not be fun to watch as both teams will struggle with the cold. Browns pull out the game at the end, finally we can say the Browns are clearly the better team.

Steelers 13


If this franchise wants to emerge from its "typical Browns" stereotype of clownish incompetence, winning games within the division is paramount. A victory today would give Cleveland a guaranteed 3-3 record in the AFC North, so against my better judgment, I'm picking the Browns to take the duke.

I have a bad feeling that the Pittsburgh D will have a plan for our one-dimensional offense... but since I'm off the entire week for Thanksgiving with a birthday thrown in, I'm in a good mood.

This may be the four helpings of Muni Lot Hobo Chili talking, but I really like the Browns today.

I remember wondering, when the Steelers were 0-4, whether they would end up with a better record than the Browns.

"How Come Quickies" from our friend who doesn't exist on the Internet

Yes it's true, we have a friend who claims he doesn't exist on the internet. No facebook, no Tumblr, no tweeting nor Foursquaring. But once in a while he fires off an email, likely from his IBM PC Jr., and this time it included some How Come Quickies. One had to be edited out since it was such a private joke, between just one of our college roommates and Les Levine, circa mid-1990s.


How come quickies for the week...... 

How come in Fantasy we start 2 RBs and 2 Recievers? 

How come we run Trent out of town because of yards per carry but Obby goes 4.5, 4.6, 3.8 and 5.3 in the last 4 years and can't get any carries?

How come nobody rushes for more than 441 yards in a game in 18 years and 2 do it this year in D3?

How come Missouri is considered good and their top two wins were against two teams not even in the BCS top 25 anymore, Florida and Georgia?

How come people think FSU schedule is so much tougher when they each will have played one top 25 BCS team at the end of the year? And if we win out we play Michigan St in the championship game and if they win out they play Duke in the championship team. And Michigan State is better in basketball and football than Duke.

How come people are too stupid to not see what I see?

How come people think the SEC is so great but a team the Big 10 wouldn't take leads their east division just a year after joining the SEC?

How come the SEC does not sponsor Men's soccer?

How come LSU's biggest wins are against TCU 4-7 and Florida 4-6, I'd say Auburn too, but their only win is against Texas A&M (who is crap).

How can anyone look at South Carolina's and Texas A&M's schedule and put them ahead of Michigan St? I could respect Fresno State and Northern Illinois ahead of Michigan St more. 

How come even though Kyrie has missed a handful of game winners this year I still want him to have it 100% of the time.

How come Kyrie has had so many opportunities for game winners in 3 years?

How come at the beginning of the year when I watched Toledo almost beat Florida and play Missouri I though it would of been a big upset? Now I think they should be favored if they played now? (Answer: Kareem Hunt is now playing and averaging 6.8 a carry, finally getting some carries the last 4 games averaging around 130 a game)

How come it means more to lose to Alabama then to beat other teams?

How come the last round of Family Feud is worth more than all the other rounds?

How come the Cavs do not recognize how good CJ Miles is playing?

How come Pryor gets suspended for 5 game for trading autographs for tatoos but Johnny Football gets a 1/2 game suspension for selling for cash? And Peter Warrick got 2 games for shoplifting by using his status as a football player?

How come I can write a long email and not an article?

Browns' championship trophy! Get it while it's hot!

So someone found an until-now-nobody-even-knew-it-existed 1946 trophy from the Cleveland Browns 1946 season?

Shit--just make replicas and t-shirts and keep the fans' hope alive for another year, because today the 'new' Browns tried to trample it

Remember this? Nope? Nobody else does either.
