This week the Browns played the Bengals in front of 6000 people in a Cleveland Browns Stadium that usually doesn’t get that empty until the fourth quarter of a game in December. It was very much a normal Browns-Bengals game. The Bengals are very bad but Cleveland’s bad and injured defense kept them in it. When Baker finally kneed it out, I’ll admit to having completely forgotten that there weren’t very many people at the game.
Come Saturday I watched the end of the Tour de France. As that event is taking place in a European country with competent governance, there are fans back out on the roadside.
