Johnny Cleveland - Today is his day ...

Finally, a day many have been looking forward to for a long time.

Johnny Football, now Johnny Cleveland, Johnny Manzeil, is going to start for the Cleveland Browns.

He is just a kid, a Quarterback, a college sensation, just a football player, wo he is going to start, what's the big deal.

Cleveland and Cincinnati is a rivalry and we are well in to the season, so I don't understand what is the BIG DEAL about today, who cares?

Well, I don't know how it all works, but the TV who broadcasts the game, was going to distribute it to a limited market, but, with Johnny Cleveland starting, and, apparently, the football world in general watching, they have almost expanded their market to the entire nation.

So, Johnny is bringing in BILLIONS in advertising dollars today, I just find that remarkable how one little quarterback in Cleveland, Ohio can create so much interest.

"I Can't Breathe" signs will be put down today, there may be some display by the players on the field, arms raised as a token, may show up, there may be some silk-screened shirts in the crowd, but all thoughts will be on John and his performance on the field .... scramble, scramble, Run Johnny Run.

Today, the Browns and the fans will see if the investment they made, was worthwhile. The Network is happy, time will tell if the Browns organization is.
