CLEVELAND — “You Said It” is a reader participation column based on the premise that if you don’t laugh about Cleveland sports you’ll cry.
And that if you do laugh about Cleveland sports, you might still end up crying. But at least friends and family might occasionally like being around you.
YOU SAID IT
Bud: I’ve discovered how to enjoy a Browns game. After we went up by 6, I dozed off and don’t remember anything until the game was over. I think we almost won. — Dave in Mentor.
Nice try, Freddie, but this column discourages the use of aliases.
Bud: I can relate to the frustration surrounding this team. This was supposed to be “the year,” just like wife #3 was supposed to be “the one.” — EastSide Eddie.
Congrats. A YSI contributor whose had more than one relationship is as rare as a handoff to Nick Chubb on third-and-short.
Bud: Were Landry and Beckham — spotlighted by the network sitting next to each other mid-Ravens game — filming a trailer for their new movie Glum & Glummer? — Jim Corrigan, Fairview Park.
The season can’t get over soon enough, given how some Browns players are beginning to make Jeff Garcia’s time in Cleveland look happy.

Hey Bud: If you wear “cool” spikes are you allowed to line up anywhere you want and run to any spot on the field? — Tom.
No. I believe that is totally predicated on wearing a cool visor.
Bud: Should we let Kitchens go early so he has a chance at the Cowboys head coach’s position? — Jim, Mentor.
Well, the Cowboys might have interest since it’s not really possible for his game-day mistakes to look any bigger in Texas.
Hey, Bud: Is there anything we can make of Patriots owner and Robert “I just went to that parlor for my sciatica. Honest, officer” Kraft and his support of the Probation Reform organization? — Keith Jameson, Fairview Park.
As with deflated footballs and videos of opponents sidelines, I know I speak for all football fans when I say that I fully trust this, too, is coincidental.
Bud: Unless I’m mistaken, you’ve never made the list of Cleveland Magazine’s Most Interesting People. How have they managed to keep getting it so right? — Tim, C-Town.
I’ve just always assumed it means they read me
Hey Bud: One thing we won’t be hearing when Freddie is dismissed: ‘Turn in your playbook.’ Skip, Tucson, Az.
You Said It, Skip.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
