Browns facing television blackout
TweetBEREA (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have not yet sold out next Monday night’s game against Baltimore and are facing their first TV blackout since 1995.
A team spokesman said “a few thousand” tickets remained for the game and it was too early to say whether the game would be televised in the Cleveland area. The team has an 8:30 p.m. deadline on Friday to sell the remaining tickets.
The Browns were facing a similar dilemma this summer, when their broadcast partner, WKYC-TV, purchased tickets to ensure the game would be seen locally.
Cleveland isn’t the only NFL market to have trouble with ticket sales. Jacksonville, Oakland and Detroit have failed to sell out games this season and a few other teams have needed deadline extensions to avoid blackouts.

I am tired of seeing the Browns get their butts whipped week in and week out!!! I have had it!! I'm 61 yrs. old and have been a Browns fan my entire life.. But I can't take this any more. Bring back Art Modell!!!As of today, all my Browns memorabilia (and it's a lot I've collected over the years) goes into storage. I will not even watch that bunch of pansy-ass sissies on TV!!! It's just too painful. Wake up Randy and hire someone who knows how to run an NFL franchise
Let it be blacked out. Who will really care?
Maybe they'll hire Heacock from YSU?
