I can't believe that we've chewed through almost 140 days of this thread... A thread that honestly I thought Sid was nuts to start, that has turned into a fun little exercise.
So we are now at Steve Everitt amount of days until the start of the 2023 Cleveland Browns season. A first round pick of the Browns out of TSUN, Everitt was the 14th pverall pick. A solid center, he only played for the Browns for three seasons, but for many Browns fans who were around for the team getting ripped out of Cleveland, he'll never be forgotten for what he did while in Baltimore in 1996.
As a protest of the Browns move, Everitt stood on the sideline during the national anthem the next year wearing his Ravens uniform, and a Cleveland Browns bandana. Maybe coincidentally, this was the only year he played in Baltimore, he would play three seasons in Philadelphia (1997-99) and one more in 2000 with the St. Louis Rams.

We're officially less than two months from the start of the Browns season, as we are now Mike Johnson amount of days until the Browns kickoff with the Bengals. Johnson, a teammate of Bruce Smith's at Virginia Tech, played in the USFL before the Browns picked him up, and he quietly was one of the best linebackers in Browns history, going to back-to-back Pro Bowls in 1989 and '90.

Today brings us to Mac Speedie days until the start of the 2023 Cleveland Browns season. Speedie, who played at Utah before joining the Army in WWII, was another of the original Browns. Already 26 years old in 1946, he still flourished at end opposite of Dante Lavelli, and while Lavelli was inducted in the Hall of Fame years ago, many considered Speedie as good, if not better. He played for the Browns from 1946-52, and after contract disagreements with Paul Brown he jumped the NFL and played a couple of seasons in Canada. A reason, according to Speedie, he thinks he was kept out of the Hall of Fame while he was alive. "If you crossed Paul Brown, he'd make you pay." Speedie's numbers back up his claim that he should have been inducted years ago, as his average of 50 receptions, 800 yards and 7 touchdowns a season was stellar during his era. He finally was inducted into the Hall of Fame, well after his death, in 2020.

As you chickenfuckers rub the sleep out of your eyes this morning, we are now Clay Matthews days until the start of the 2023 Cleveland Browns season. Matthews was a Browns 1978 first round pick (#12 overall) out of USC (the first of two first rounders that year, the second being Ozzie Newsome, used with the pick the Browns got from the Chicago Bears for Mike Phipps!), and Matthews would be one of the Ironmen of NFL history. He would end up playing an amazing 19 seasons, the first 16 with the Browns. His interception of Jim Kelly on the goalline sealed the Browns playoff win vs Buffalo during the 1989 playoffs, and he would be a four time Pro Bowler. He ended his career with 82.5 sacks and 16 interceptions.

The inevitable march towards the beginning of the Browns 2023 season stops for no sabbath, as we are now Dante Lavelli days until the Browns opener vs the Bengals. Lavelli, a Hudson, Ohio native son of Italian immigrants, played a little college football at Ohio State before joining the Army in WWII. He would land on Omaha Beach on D-Day, and fight at the Battle of the Bulge, before signing with Paul Brown and his new AAFC team in 1946. A three time Pro-Bowler, he'd play with the Browns through the 1956 season, compiling 386 career receptions, 6488 yards and 62 touchdowns. Lavelli was instrumental in the formation of the player's union, too, and would be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1975.
