Hard to believe as Tex said... I've been here since 06 and I still can't believe it's been that long.. We also gotta remember Tour, Gipper and Daddy Bull and a host of others I'm sure I'm forgetting.. I'm not a Bud Light dude but I'll do a shot of CC in their honor...

It used to crack me up when he called his 1st wife "The Toothless Hag" and Kathy, his 2nd wife, "Hag2."
One of the last times I went to Cleveland, he called me and said "Listen, get the Warden to sign your permission slip to come to Cleveland this weekend for the game. I got you a ticket; and someone's gotta help me try to keep Zombo out of jail here!"
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!" -

Wow, I can't believe it's been 5 years already. I have nothing but good memories of the few times that I chatted with Stan or his wife Kathy. Thank them so much for setting up and running our playground here The BROWNS BOARD.
And thanks too to our current manager and boss here the Westsidw Steve for picking up the ball and running with it. It's not easy folks to keep the peace -and- also keeping the lights on here. It has always taken someone with the vision and drive to do it ..... so we can play here.
SO, thanks Steve and of course thank you ? Stan and Kathy.

Wow I wasn’t active during the Tour thread so I missed that story, that just ruined my day ? I remember making a bet with him and he had to send me a sampler of Texas beers. Though I sent him a sixer of Christmas ale anyway to spread the holiday cheer.
Him and Gipper were amazing people and contributors to the board.

He was so funny. And so many funny stories too.

Yeah, that was a sad sad day when Stan passed. I see Kathy every now & then, she's doing ok despite the circumstances.
He told me about this forum way back in the early/mid 2000s when we coached little league baseball here in Berea. Went to several of the Browns Board tailgates, drinking the "orange shit" and such.
So glad this place is still operating. We can't always agree here of course, but it's not toxic like FB or Twitter (X).
Go Browns

Man, whenever I see fans go too soon and I can think is I hope, for lack of a better way of saying it, the boomer age group gets to see this dang organization win one. My dad is 64 and while technically was alive for the last time, obviously barely remembers. So many of you all in that 55-70 bracket have been so loyal and have seen such little relative success. I still have a long landing strip before I hit this same situation, but here's to always hoping.

I still have the Aten Strong t-shirt Kathy handed out to some of us. I still wear it on occasion.

Tom, I believe you were there when Zombo almost went to jail for accidentally getting that door almost ripped off of our cab ride in the Flats.
Can't believe it's been 5 years, but my grandmother who lived to 98 said time accelerates once you get past 70. 51 is far too young to leave this life. RIP best Browns fan ever!!
One of the great truisms of life Tex. The older you get the faster time goes by. The day I retired was eight years ago, and it seems like yesterday.

And I retired almost 16 years ago and it seems like about 8. So there's hope Larry. LOL!?

I've said a bunch of times, one of my greatest regrets in life is I didn't spend some of my paper route money, buy a ticket, and hop on the bus to catch the Browns 1964 Championship game. We were so spoiled... Sitting in the stands with Grandpa watching Cleveland beat the Cowboys 55-3. The Browns won all the time back then, so we'd be back next year, right? Um, no. ?
Things are so different now. If the Browns ever make the Super Bowl- unless you know someone living in the host city, it's going to cost you around ten grand to go to the game. It's why the game isn't for the fans anymore, it's for the uber rich folks where spending $5-10,000 dollars on a ticket is pocket change.

Oh yes jrb ...... I hear you on that one as a 73 year old born in 1950 older boomer (1946 to 1954 +/- ish) era group.
My wife and middle brother are both that 1956, kind of on that (1955 ish to 1964) boomer sczle. My two youngest brothers are 1960 and 1961 definately NOT older boomers on that younger boomer scale.
I always "joke" with my youngest brothers had different parents than me and my next younger brother had (1950, 1952). My middle brother (1956 eh ?) a lost in space spoiled middle kid .... how true ! We older boomers had it nice ! Jobs, school, music, everything ! The best qualified generation. My dad the WWII Greatest Generation EVER no contest there (1920 +/- to 1945) .
And the boomer. (1946-1964) let the debates go on !
My hat is always off to the greatest generation .... EVER. Born in the Great Depression and won WWII ! Best ever !

And, to be honest, I have to believe that people my age (early to mid 30's) are just going to check out if the ship doesn't get right in a long-term manner. Being just about 34 myself, my memories of the Browns essentially start when the team came back. Outside of a few flashes in the pan, it's been essentially been the worst group in over 20 years. Keeping my fingers crossed that changes now, but still.
To your point, I went to the Dolphins v Browns game in Miami this time last year. Of course it's a higher cost of business down here, by a lot, but holy smokes. Compared to watching the game in crystal clear HD it's just so tough to justify going, especially in these bad, bad years.

To keep it simple, the biggest thing I envy about your generation is the simple fact you all got to grow up without the world watching (or maybe expecting) to know your every move. Everything moves 10,000 miles a minute it feels like and I very much wish I knew an extended world when it wasn't at your fingertips. I can vividly remember getting our first computer in 1999 (10 years old) and thinking man I have it so cool compared to before. Now a good part of wishes I had more years before technology ruled the world.

The next day, in the tailgate lot Zombo's asks Stan "where do grown men power squirt around here?" Stan points to Paninis across the street - Zombo's says "that's great Skippy there's a line down the street." Stan yells back, "A Real man doesn't wait in line -that's what the alley is there for." Don't you know, Zombo comes back after an expensive conference with Cleveland Five-O he said "Thanks a lot Skippy. I got your Real Man right here. I just got a ticket for Urinating in Public."
Fun memories.
