Ohio State’s Marcus Hall gets Grantland “Athlete of the Year” consideration
December 20, 2013Cavs vs. Bucks Behind The Boxscore: Kyrie beats the flu and Milwaukee too
December 21, 2013When you live in a world with Amazon.com and professional sports, you just know that you’re going to end up with some really bad team branded products. Those products get searched out this time of year as potential presents for giant sports fans, no matter how ludicrous. In fact sometimes the more inane they are, the more likely they’re chosen as gifts. With that in mind, I decided to identify these gifts and open them up for commentary by WFNY writers and alumni.
Without further ado, I bring you the next in this series… “Cleveland Browns Zombie Statue.”
Craig: I’ll admit that I actually don’t hate this one completely. I like the Browns and I like zombies, so I almost bought one of these at a Big Lots. Ultimately I couldn’t pull the trigger because even at the deep Big Lots discount, it was still approaching $20. It retails on Amazon.com for around $25, but I put it on the list because I’m used to seeing things like Peyton Hillis Salsa make its way to Big Lots. If a piece of Browns merch finds itself in that store in bulk and I still can’t bring myself to buy it? Says a lot about the merch, huh? (Still love you Big Lots!)
Scott: They let Pat Shurmur keep his Browns gear, eh?
DP: No, Scott, you’re confused. Zombies seek out brains. Pat Shurmur? Well, he clearly felt he already had all he needed.
Denny: There’s no reason to buy this – nobody wants to get Brandon Weeden merch for Christmas.
Kirk: Undead, slow, deliberate movements, bad stance, poor communication skills… and he still graded out better than Oniel Cousins.
Kirk: This zombie was placed on IR with designation to return… from the dead!

So, seriously. Would you buy one?

I don’t know. Seems like a pretty fair and accurate representation of me every Sunday as I reach for the remote in the 4th quarter to turn the game off.
So are you getting one of each of these for 12 days prizes next year?

Most of the people who actually saw the Browns win a championship look like this now
That’s one heck of a staph infection!
A plodding, mostly-dead, decaying entity desperately in need of brains. Being worn by a zombie.
