Cleveland Browns Beat Down

Been a while since I was Q at the School Yard. Ma Bell shoulder tapped, and Mayhem delivered. YHC has been a Cleveland Brown’s fan since Earnest Byner went to play there in 1984. I guess between ECU and the Browns, I just enjoy pulling for an underdog!  The Brown’s win inspired me to come up with a workout built around it. Gamecock saw to it that the Q was there early enough to scout out the AO and place a few items out in advance. The fog was as thick as pea soup, but Mayhem emerged from the gloom like a smoke filled college football entrance, sporting a Cleveland Brown’s hat and enthusiasm!

Warm Up

No FNG’s but quick disclaimer and off we go.

• Good Mornings  x 6  (Baker Mayfield’s number)
• Good Nights   x 6
• SSH  x 19 (Bernie Kosar’s number…..the last Heisman Trophy winner QB we had that was worth a damn)

Warm Up Burpees

• 1 Penalty Burpee for the loss to the Saints (1)
• 1 Kiss Your Sister Burpee for the tie vs the Steelers (1)
• 1 Bud Light Victory Burpee for the win vs the Jets (1)

The THANG

Follow me to the track; at the track YHC explained that when Earnest Byner played at ECU, he gave me the jersey off his back, as Patch and Pied Piper pointed out, like the Mean Joe Greene commercial. So our first leg of the workout incorporates the old with the new.  6 (Baker Mayfield) laps around the track…….stopping in the turn after each lap for 44 (Earnest Byner) LBC’s.  Those that finished early continued to run with the six (lol……Baker Mayfield).

You can celebrate ONE victory but so long without thinking about your next opponent, The Oakland Raiders.  YHC was hoping that Stabler would attend the Q, but I think he was on a road trip to Chicago to see if the Raiders could afford to bring back Mack for just one game!  Anyway………Bo Jacksons are up next. YHC had ventured out into the fog and layed out white lid covers to identify our 6 diagonals we would run as we zig zagged across the football field like Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl.  At each lid we would perform 6-3-5-6-3-5 Burpees……….to signify the 635 days the Browns went without a WIN. These burpees paled in comparison to the pain we Browns fans endured, but they weren’t easy!

YHC called on Ma Bell for a 10 count selfishly……then instructed the PAX on our version of 4 corners with reps of 19 because the Browns non-win streak was 19.

• From the goal line we would sprint (or go at least 75%) for 50 yards to midfield and perform 19 Merkins.
• Then we would spring across the field to opposite sideline and perform 19 Mountain Climbers.
• Run 50 yards to the goal line and perform 19 Plank Jacks.
• Run across the field and perform 19 Peter Parkers.

I had planned to do TWO of these………to represent the TWO winning seasons the Browns have had in the 19 years (there’s that number again) since the Browns expansion in 1999…..but no time for that.  Mosey toward the wall.  At the wall I was worried that someone might do a “Spinal Tap Count” during our Wall Sits, so I brought along my new MAYHEM 25 lb Ruck Plate that my Brother In Law made for me!  YHC informed the PAX that during wall sits we would hold the ruck plate straight out in front of us while we each counted to 10 (hopefully the number of wins the Browns have this year! )  That was a success and went as planned.
