Exploring the diverse cultures that exist in my city, beating Pittsburgh and Baltimore, earning a winning season...
Music
Alex Bevan, Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony, The Michael Stanley Band, whatever they're playin' on WMMS, WRUW or Z107.9, Lil' Bow Wow, I-Tal, Pagans, Pere Ubu, Dead Boys, DEVO! ("We are not a football team, we are Devo! D...E...V...O...!"), Ohio Players (they were from Dayton though...were they Browns fans?)
Movies
A Christmas Story, Major League, American Splendor, Stranger Than Paradise, The Deer Hunter, Welcome to Collinwood, Antwone Fisher...
Television
Drew Carey Show (duh!), even though while we didn't have a team there was no Browns merchandise displayed on his show...only Indians stuff...but he has done a lot for the city, so I'll forgive and forget...we'll just blame his corporate minded execs...
Books
The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia : Corn Sugar and Blood, Sheltered Lives by Charles Oberndorf (sci-fi set in Cleveland!), Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby- no, I'm not an Arsenal fan...but I think you guys can relate to the whole, "trapped loving a team that often fails to ...uhm...win ...a lot..."/co-dependent/dysfunctional relationship/theme...., and then of course, there are the three seminal football novels that everyone should read (even though the protagonists are all Texan): End Zone by Don Delillo (including a passage on a football game with prose you could just eat like a bleeding raw steak), North Dallas Forty by Peter Gent, (Don't bother reading the last chapter.) and Semi-Tough by Dan Jenkins (if you can endure the first 20 pages of pure racial epithets...)
Heroes
Paul Brown, Jim Brown, Brian Sipe, Turkey Jones, Lou Groza, Bernie Kosar, Super Host, Ghoulardi, Thomas Mulready
About me: Long suffering, but never without faithful diehard fans. The fervor and support of my city sustains me through dark times. Never give up hope. We'll be wearing Superbowl rings some day...
Who I'd like to meet: Only the dedicated...wherever you are, whether you're in Cleveland, or all over the world...join my virtual DAWG POUND...and please feel free to leave a comment!
And for you Cleveland expats, just remember, whether you're behind enemy lines in Yinzerville or Baltimore, or on a trade misson to Mali, ...You can always find a Browns Backers bar...
And by the way...I've got to respectufully request that you don't add any comments with music...(I'm an old football team! Cranky!)...I love you, but...no comments with music por favor...However, if you are a musician and you'd like to put a Browns song on this page, let me know! BECAUSE CLEVELAND ROCKS!
GO BROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNS! Can I get a WOOF WOOF?
.
ALSO:Leave me a comment! SHOW YOUR BROWNS PRIDE.
Someone needs to make a video of all of Braylon Edwards dropped passes this year. Maybe another one of Romeo watching the clock tick down without calling a timeout. I think these two videos would sum up the whole season. Can someone tell me how we beat the Giants? I boggles my mind.
ALL I CAN DO IS JUST SHAKE MY HEAD. I DONT KNOW WHAT THE GOOD ANSWER WOULD BE AT THIS POINT. IM LOST FOR WORDS. GOD BLESS THE CLEVELAND BROWNS. SEE YOU NEXT FALL.
alright, i realize this is dumb but i need to vent and figure this is as good a place to do it as any. i think its pathetic that so called "fans" booed when anderson was taken off the field due to his injury. fans should be applauding the fact that he walked off the field under his own power, not that he got hurt. he had a great season last year and hes not doing too good this year yea, but he doesnt deserve that shit. what the hell are you going to do if brady quinn is a fucking bust? going to boo him as well and chant DORSEY! DORSEY! fuck anyone who cheered for his injury and still has the balls to call themselves cleveland browns fans.
Hell I benched Edwards on my fantasy team just for general purposes.
I don't know what the f@$k is going on in Berea, but they need to fix it. I'm running out of paitience with this regime. If anyone wants to buy two PSL's, contact me. I'm done as a season ticket holder who lives 4 hours away. I put more effort into home games than they do.
And I really don't think Cowher could do a thing and it would make me throw up a little in my mouth to root for him. But I'd be for anything that works, other wise nuke it from space, it's the only way to be sure!!
Here...I'll say it...Fuck the Browns! I'm sick of this shit. they are garbage and will never amount to shit...on to a new team. Bye bye you sacks of shit.
i guess the cardiac kids are back!!!!! watching these fucks will definately give you a heart attack induced by hard core stress!!!!! GET RID OF CRENNELL GOD DAMMIT!!!!!!!
