Just found this article on MSN Foxsports and liked what the guy had to say about the Browns getting two prime times vs the Texans only getting one.

"3. How does the league give the Browns two prime time games in November and December when it matters?


I could not believe Cleveland received a Monday night against the Ravens and a Thursday night game against the Steelers. They should've gotten one prime time game maximum.

Houston received just one prime time game, and the Texans are 2-for-2 in prime time the last two years and a whole lot better than Cleveland.

I know the awful season Kansas City is coming off, but Matt Cassel and company will have more wins than Cleveland.

Cleveland gets two prime time games and Tampa gets shut out? I'm not saying Tampa deserved it, but the league does know Kellen Winslow was traded to the Bucs, right?

And I'm not begging for the Bengals in prime time. They rightly received no love. But Quinn and Anderson get two games on the national stage while the human jugs machine Carson Palmer doesn't get one? Didn't the Bengals have a higher winning percentage last year?"

That was the only knock I saw in our schedule. Only 1 primetime game. I'd rather give up the preseason primetime game for another reg. season primetime game.

Agreed. The Texans have shown that they can play hard during primetime but if they had two do teams normally play one at home and one away or is it possible to play both at home?

Well the north of us in Oklahoma has 5 primetime games total-2 are home. The Steelers have 3 primetime games-2 are home, so we could have another home game if it was granted to us.

Historical fan base. It's why the Oakland Raiders, despite years of mediocrity, get tons of high profile games. Cleveland, if I'm not mistaken, was one of the original NFL teams. Their fan base has been building for decades and is entrenched across the country.

It sucks that we got screwed in prime time, but we'll get there. The Houston football fan base is a slow building powder keg waiting to explode. If we even sniff the playoffs, the NFL will see what rabid fans look like.

The browns suck, but they have one of the most loyal fan bases in the country. We don't. It's not about ability or anything like that, it's about the money.

obviously since Skeletor Jones will pay NFL to show his team off, considering their weak history of last decade...
