I have given Terry Pluto a bit of a hard time over the last
few years. I have read Terry from way back in the mid 80’s when he covered my
Cavs.
You see Terry is, or was, blindly optimistic about the
Browns. As I had a problem with here. And
a little bit here
I guess.
But, low and behold, has Terry had enough of the Browns?
Whoa!
Well if Terry is done with optimism for the Browns, then I
am too. So goes Terry so goes I.
But let us not end there. Let us implore some others to beat
back their "beloved" Browns optimism with sticks and baseball bats and lead batons and maces
and other items that are really heavy that can get the job done. Because some
folks just don’t know when to quit.
Take Mary Kay Cabot for instance – eternal optimist when it
comes to the Browns. Mary is upset with me because I call her out about this
but maybe I am a little snarky about it but she doesn’t realize that optimism
is dangerous and doesn’t help the Browns. The Browns need reality, not
optimism.
Along comes Kyle Kelly with this nonsense:
Really Kyle? One win in two seasons and you are going to
talk about wild card. You shouldn’t be talking about playing cards.
So I
And Mary got upset.
Her right. Totes.
But my point for all, especially those who write about the
Browns, is that objectivity is your friend, your very good friend who curbs
your wishes and dreams and hopes of this and that and instead fills you with facts
and stats that in and of themselves are all the context a Browns fan needs.
After all we have endured 1 win in 32 games.
As my father used to say: put wishes in one hand and shit in
the other and see which one fills up faster.
