What would make a peaceful person go insane?

The infamous Ohio State University football coach, Woody Hayes is credited with the phrase “Three yards and a cloud of dust.” You’d find your team at 4th & 1 an awful lot, but go straight down the middle for 3 yards every time and the stadium would run out of room to hang all those Championship banners. It’d be an insanely boring way to play, though. An even boringer [that should be a word!] style to watch. Let’s say the Cleveland Browns applied Woody’s strategy. On every play, Baker Mayfield handed the pigskin to Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, Andy Janovich, or any other player I’ve never heard of. Fans would get sick of hearing the announcer describe the same play over and over:

  • “Chubb straight down the middle for 3 yards.”
  • “Another north-south carry by Janovich for 3 yards.”
  • “Hunt gains 3 as he powers through the line.”

Even a generally peaceful Browns fan would go insane watching this brand of football. Then again, they might trade their sanity for a Lombardi Trophy. But they’d undoubtedly go insane each time the announcer said the ball-carrier ran north-south. FirstEnergy Stadium is situated east-west.
