    I can't believe this!

    Prior to the Arizona game at the end of October, the Buffalo Bills had a sellout streak of 10 or so games on the line. That was when they were struggling, and Arizona isn't exactly a rival. Neither are the Browns, but they can't sell out this game?

    During the sellout streak the Bills had a dismal record. Now that they are on a roll, nobody wants to go???

    BTW, the league extended the deadline to today. If the game isn't sold out today, blackout in effect.
    When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

    I guarantee that it will NOT be blacked out. It will either be soldout today, or Ralph will buy the remaining tickets and give them away.

      I hear he's been known to do that for big games that might not sell out by deadline.

          This is surprising only because the Browns are a team that should bring a lot of fans with them to Buffalo, given the close proximity.
          However, I think the difficulty selling out has more to do with:
          1. The opponent isn't a very exciting one.
          2. It's getting really close to Christmas and people stress about shopping, etc and feel they don't have time for the usual fun stuff that they don't think twice about the rest of the year. This is probably the main reason. All sorts of extracurricular activities feel a slump this time of year, while retail booms.

            Ralph will buy the tickets and donate them to soldiers or something
            I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
            "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
            You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
            It was all
            true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
            He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
            mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                Who wants to see Bledsloe lose another game for us. Too depressing and frustrating for TheBrownBear to pay good money to watch.

                    I figured the Browns game would be a sellout by now for sure since the Browns fan base in western NY is so large. I am sure it will be a sell out by game time.

                      The game is now a sellout. McDonalds bought the rest of the tix.
