still standing (see picture with marker and my NEW bike).After biking, I decided to treat myself to wings for the first time in a month. That's right...I haven't eaten wings in a month. This along with the biking would explain my weight loss this summer. I thought about going to Winking Lizard because I know what I like there, but I have already rated their wings, so I branched out to the Parma Tavern. I was unsure of what to expect from this establishment because I have never been there. The tavern had over ten televisions showing the Browns game with a full house watching the game. I thought it would take awhile to get our wings, but they came out quickly. We ordered the following flavors: Teriyaki, Hot Buffalo, Cajun and Garlic. I was impressed by how fresh the wings tasted, but the sauce was lacking as well as the spice. They did serve the best teriyaki wings I have ever tasted though. Overall the wings had great taste but not enough spice; the blue cheese was watery, but the beer was cheap. Considering all of these things, I would give the Parma Tavern three wings out of four.
Finally I would be remiss if I didn't mention the performance of Brady Quinn against the Detroit Lions. Yes, he played well against scrubs from Detroit in the fourth quarter, but Detroit's starting defense isn't all that good to begin with, so I am taking it all with a grain of salt. It was exciting and this town needs some excitement in a quarterback. I look forward to see what he can do next week against Denver. I also look forward to Bernie Kosar's commentary. He is the worst commentator in the history of sports. The man sounds like he just left a wedding reception with a great open bar. As a matter of fact, I am starting the Bernie Kosar commentating drinking game. It goes like this:
1. Bernie stops mid-sentence: take one drink
2. Bernie mentions the word "quarterback" for no reason at all: take two drinks
3. Bernie acts like he just woke up and just blurts something out: take three drinks
4. Bernie slurs every word in his sentence: All drink!
As you can see, it was a great Saturday, which might explain why I was so tired on Sunday.

You look cute with your new bike.
Here's a picture of me with my new puppy.
He's bigger now, but just as entitled.
I agree with your game comments. I was looking for a forum to express my utter grief with Mr. Kosar's broadcasting...
I had to switch the channel or put it on mute to avoid his slurring, and worst of all negative comments all game long.
Look, we know our team has been less then satisfactory since 1999, but when I tune in to watch a local game, I expect blind optimism... Do not belittle the great play a Brown's player made...Just express joy in it happening.
Kosar reminds me of Bob Uecker and the "Major League" movies... I get the impression he is sitting in the booth with a flask, or he took too many forearms to the noggin, as he butchers every spoken word that comes out of his yapper...
I understand the man is a local legend, but please get someone else to narrate our games...
Sincerely,
Browns fan in Akron
