That's the best word to describe the feeling at Cleveland Browns' Stadium after the 34-14 win over the New England Patriots.
You all know I am a big sports fan. Baseball clearly my true passion, but all in all, I'm a Cleveland sports fan.
I must admit, last year, I hit only one Browns' game due to everything happening with Mom.
Another confession--when it gets really super cold and snowy, I tend to watch the games where it's warm, cozy, and I have have people waiting on my supplying my food and drink!
I've been lucky. This year, the weather has been superb whether they were home or away.
More importantly, win or lose, the games have been exciting until the very last play. The fans do not leave. They stay until the final tick on the clock.
This particular game had everyone jumping out of their skin with anticipation, jubilation, and a euphoric pleasure that seemed to last for over 3 hours.
If it were a Viagra commercial, the doctor would have sent the entire stadium to the emergency room.
Every play had action to cheer for....screaming until the voices were all gone.....and a natural high that would last for days to come.
At the end of the game, a feeling descended on Cleveland Browns' Stadium that has been absent since the Browns came back to Cleveland.
Fans could not stop smiling and were high-fiving everyone and their brother the entire walk up the hill or to wherever their destination lead them.
And what's more important. The Monday after the game was not a normal 'Monday.' It was not 'the Monday after the Browns lost a heart breaker.' It was the Monday after the Browns beat the bejeebers out of the New England Patriots, and before that, creamed the New Orleans Saints!
Our saviors seem to be young Colt McCoy, the Beast Peyton Hillis, and you name it, it's always been a team effort between Cribbs, Massaquoi, Robiskie, Stuckey, awesome Dawson, Steinbach, Thomas, Womack, Haden, Adams...I'm not gonna mention the whole team but it HAS been an entire team effort banding together to make the magic happen.
Ahhh, life is good. There's no place like home!
