Want to feel old? ..... Some 38 years ago and wore #19 ?
-
Was in the Dog pound for my first ever NFL match purely by chance when Bernie beat Bart Star's 'passes without interception' record against Eagles in 91. We were up at half time then ended up losing. Can't remember if it was 268 or 286 passes.

Love me some Bernie. As it happens l was at his last game as a Browns starter, the 90s Belichick years and l’m pretty sure Vinny Testaverde (aka the green nut) finished the game against the dreaded Denver Broncos, whom smiley mcfuckface was still quarterbacking. It didn’t go well.
My aunt scored tickets and we up and backed it for the game from Cincy. Bernie was traded/cut shortly thereafter.

38 years ago today Bernie Kosar made his first NFL start, October 13, 1985. The Browns beat the Oilers 21-6.

I'll cut you some slack about feeling old with the beginning of some fond memories at QB. The Return of the Kardiac Kids in my Golden era/decade as a fan.
Understanding Bernie was a Supplemental Draft Pick - when was the last time the Browns drafted a QB that became an elite player in this league? Ready? 1972 when the Browns drafted Brian Sipe out of San Diego State in the 13th round of the NFL Draft. This former QB with the alleged arm strength of a girl scout - was the ONLY NFL MVP I've had the pleasure of watching. He erased so many late 4th quarter deficits that the Kardiac Kids were born and appreciated by our fan base.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

I think that was the play that Bernie literally drew up a play in the dirt that resulted in a touchdown.
I watched that game from a sports bar in one of the old BF Goodrich buildings south of downtown Akron with some family.

Smiley Mcfuckface is a classic! I'm still pissed at the knucklehead that threw batteries at Smiley. HE MISSED!

~ I still have my SIPER BOWL ( SB XIX I believe ) that I bought in the Ol' Muni parking lot after a NY Jets vs Cleveland BROWNS Game ...... somewhere. I'll have to find that someday ....... Those were exciting games and times. And then Bernie Kosar came along in that Supplemental Draft Pick, something that Art Modell actually pulled off on the league. Oh well.
The Sipe / Kosar / Testaverde / years and then the three shutdown years. The rest we know all to well. ( by heart ) Hard to believe too that Sipe ended up in the USFL before leaving professional football all together. Seems like it was 100 years ago.
I'll have to reconnect with that SIPER BOWL T-shirt someday. And figure out which Super Bowl that was.
□ ..... edit .... I can remember walking through the Ol' Muni lot and the guy selling those t-shirts out of his trunk. Oh so long ago ......
...... but it was fun !

I had been out of high school for 5 months and was already an expert at operating a shovel as an apprentice electrician and was seriously reconsidering my life choices and wondering if there was any way to get back to that school.
Bernie and Marty helped ease my transition into manhood for the next few years... Awesome times for sure.

Clarence Weathers only caught 16 passes in 1985, but averaged 28.1 yards per reception.

Yup. I'm going there: Back then there was a video game called Micro League Football. You could purchase the new stats for it every year. Four of us had a league, 2 teams each. I of course, had the Browns....and there was this one play where Weathers was the Split End...and you through it to him along the line of scrimmage...he catches it there and runs straight along the sidelines and no one can catch him.
Those were some fun days back then!
