Always looking to meet more Browns fans! That's the best thing about being involved with the OBR!
Music
Cleveland has always had a thriving music scene, and the area has been a place where bands like Pere Ubu, Devo, Nine Inch Nails and many others had their roots. If you're a local band, we'd like to check out your tunes.
Movies
Bleeding Brown and Orange - A Cleveland Tradition. A good recap for what it's like to be a Browns fan, made all the better because footage of the 2005 OBR Draft Party was overexposed and an interview where I blathered drunkenly was left on the cutting room floor.
Television
24, The Point After, Cleveland Rants, etc
Books
Legends by the Lake, Browns: A to Z, False Start, Tales from the Browns Sideline
Heroes
All the Browns fans who rallied to fight Art Modell and the NFL back in 1995-6!!!

I'm a middle-aged techno-dork named Barry McBride (aka "ArtBtz" to you old timers) who started a website to protest the theft of the Cleveland Browns from my hometown in 1995. Now, for some reason, that website has turned into The Orange and Brown Report, the largest community of Browns fans anywhere, with over 9,000 fans having posted on our message boards. The OBR is a credentialed media outlet for independent Cleveland Browns news and information, syndicated through FoxSports.com, with a monthly magazine, and a weekly radio program. We're always trying to reach out to Browns fans around the world. Come and join us on the forums!
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone with an extra beer they don't know what to do with.
By all means overlook Laurinitis. He's a good backer with a solid grip when he gets a hold of you but that's the problem. He's not that quick and was a nonfactor in the Buckeye blowouts against other future nfl guys. Is he good? Yes. But he's not AJ Hawk. I wouldn't be all that interested in him for us, and certainly not with a high pick.
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON. FIRST THE BROWNS HIRE A SECOND RATE COACH WITH A SUB 500 RECORD IN MANGINA. THEN HE DECIDES HE DOESN'T LIKE ANYONE. SO HE TRADES OFF WINSLOW, CUTS JERVICIOUS, NOW HE IS TRADING EDWARDS. GUESS WHAT BROWNS FANS WE GET TO REBUILD YET AGAIN. WHO'S NEXT TO GO?
After this weekend it's worse now more than before. Shannahan has been out there and now John Gruden. OMG now Mangini really is the bottom of the barrel.
Browns 2012 by the looks of it. I don't want Mangini , he is a rat. No one will want to come to Cleveland now. Not a GM not any coaches and probably no players. This choice has me ill already and we are 8 months from the 09 season.
My gut tells me we need a new owner which probably won't happen till we suck for 3 more years.
I love the Browns and have all my life but every year gets harder and harder I feel like not even watching the NFL and only watching college.
