Hard to believe this is the first time you have heard that. It's from the late 70s-early 80s I think.  

 

Corniest/hokiest stuff ever, IMO.

 

And how can anyone forget the Chicken Lady?

Buffalo will be a future paradise city with climate change.


in all seriousness, about 10 years ago I read an article that said in x hundred years with climate change, Cleveland will have the best weather in the world.

….and the Browns will STILL be a dumpster fire! 

 

The “Cleveland Riviera” will take come getting used to. Hopefully they at least figure out how to keep the river from catching fire. 🔥

Are you gonna start waving your Whammy Weenie?

I'd advise anyone thinking of trying it to be sure they are far away from a school.

 

You'd think that Jr High had never seen a man in a trenchcoat.

I like it, have seen it before. This is how it was... think of the weather news guys moving magnetic symbols around on a board of the USA when reporting the weather. Sometimes I think simpler was better in some cases.

Talking Proud was also what was played after scores at the stadium  before they came up with the Shout! song. And I remember Barry Lillis (before he dried out and became a minister) sticking wet paper towels on the map over the south towns saying that there was going to be a soaking rain there.

I wonder how many posters here do NOT remember the "Talkin proud" commercials.

 

It's probably MOST folks here.

 

As an aside, I just watched it again for the first time in years.  I couldn't help but notice the downtown area looks pretty much exactly the same now as it did then, and this thing was shot in 1980. That's over 40 years ago.

This!  Talking Proud song, waving Whammy Weenies, smoking a pack of cigarettes by halftime and the doing the wave at least once during every series of downs, defined the game day "in stadium experience" in 1980 and 1981.  And we loved it! Lol...

The Whammy Weenie was not banned because it was a weenie, it was the  banned because the writing on it was lead-based past.

Before my time but I remember going to games in the 90s and the things that stick out were people bringing huge Binoculars and AM/FM radios and headsets to listen to Van Miller calling the game
