Nice ESPN Page 2 special here. All joking aside, I love the Browns. They cause me near-constant frustration and heartache, but that’s the price you pay when you become attached to a pro sports team to which you have only an imaginary philosophical connection. I won’t bail and support another team just because mine sucks, […]
Been a while, but the Browns’ offense has awakened me by actually — egad — scoring! Anyway, this piece concisely traipses through the fallout of the curse of The Move. Worth a quick read.
So on Sunday I drove my family from Michigan to New York for a Thanksgiving Week visit to the in-laws. We stopped in Cleveland to break up the trip, visit friends, and watch the game. After one of the many lamentable plays fouled up by the Browns (I can’t recall which, there were so many), […]
So my four-year-old son, wiped out from an afternoon frolicking at a birthday party, settles onto his dad’s lap during the third quarter of yesterday’s Browns game. He knows I like the Browns. He wants them to do well. He’s even a member of their Kids Club. But of course he doesn’t understand the game […]
Prior to last season’s breakout, the most improved Browns offense of the decade was in 2002. Though they ranked just 23rd in total yards, that was a far cry better than the dead last ranking of the previous three years. They snuck into the playoffs but bowed out with an epic collapse at Heinz Field. […]
History buffs like me enjoy the idea of the Browns Legends Club. I have some quibbles with the selection methodology (fan voting counts for just 20%), presentation (the official site’s navigation could be better), and even the results, but I enjoy the concept and the chance to bring the team’s great legacy of contributors into […]
Gotta like the idea of inviting a whopping 54 players to try out this weekend’s minicamp. Yep, that’s in addition to the five draftees and 15 undrafted free agents signed this week. Some of the tryout invitees played for big-time programs and slipped through the cracks in the draft and the ensuing flurry of signings. […]
Courtesy of Browns fan BuckFigBen, here’s an outstanding version of the 2008 schedule, with a PDF version here.
… Dungy, that is: You don’t care about the Browns. I know that. You’re a former Steeler, after all. You had a job to do last night, and that was to protect your best players from getting hurt and missing their next game two weeks forward. Fine. The players you sent out there did try. […]
Do you need any reason to get pumped about Sunday’s game in Cincitucky? Playoffs on the line. Cross-state banter between the players, without the Pepto this time. Intrastate division rivalry. Sequel to September’s 51-45 shootout. Tiebreaker of a 34-34 all-time series. It’s a big one, all right. Equivalent to a playoff game. Win, and the […]
