I didnt watch the game, but i caught the highlights on ESPN and my dad told me about it. Only in Cleveland can something like this happen. Here is the article if anyone wants to read it:

They were showing clips on ESPN last night, and some of them were of the ref getting pelted with plastic beer bottles as he ran off the field. I honestly think it is funny as hell, even though it makes Cleveland fans look like a bunch of asses. How i would have loved to be at that game.
If ya read the article and got to the part about where fans ripped up bleacher seats and set them on fire in 1997--its true, because i was there. Bleachers being ripped up, trash being thrown on the field, people running on the field. In fact, by the end of the game, they had three rings of security arround the field to keep people from running on. Only in Cleveland.

What happened to them wasn't right, but the fans should not have thrown bottles at them.. Tasteless...
