    And Brownie (The Elf) wins again!  🙂    

    I remember year one, a few games into the season, and the announcers (non Browns announcers) are talking about Brownie at midfield...and they asked each other if it should stay or go...and they both said that it had to go.  Well they can go Elf themselves!  🙂     

    I think I like that they don't like it!  It makes me like it more!    Fear The Elf

    It caused a stir in the national media. I recall a buddy of mine texting me with a sort of “what’s this elf thing all about?” inquiry and l had to dig out a couple links to let him know it goes back to the 50s. It caused some confusion which l thought was pretty amusing.

        I dunno. Think maybe we should adapt the mascot of Scottsdale Community College who are the Fighting Artichokes, cause choking is what the Browns have been known for since JB left for the movies.??

            Browns Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward is in concussion protocol, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday.

            Ward had an awkward landing after getting tangled with wide receiver Elijah Moore during a drill in Monday's practice. Ward has been one of the Browns' best players in camp, but his concussion history is concerning. He's previously had at least four concussions during his first six seasons of his pro career, most recently last August when he suffered one in the Browns' preseason finale. Ward was able to return around 12 days later and played in the season opener.

            Ward was spotted wearing sweats and playing catch on the field before the Browns' joint practice session with the Vikings Wednesday, which can be taken as a sign he's progressing through the protocol. Stefanski offered no further details.

            “I don’t think you can take any concussion lightly, but I’m good," Ward said last September. “I feel great, ready to play the game. I take the necessary steps of healing up and doing the exercising and things that the doctors tell me. So I feel good, I’m out there, I’m ready to play, enjoy playing the game of football and I’m not too concerned. I’m good.”

            Ward is a three-time Pro Bowler who has 15 career interceptions. The Browns have also been without former first-round cornerback Greg Newsome II in camp as Newsome recovers from hamstring surgery.

                Denzal has said that he has studied the effects and is not worried

                  I know the main concept here is over but as this is one of the few topics at this point I can actually engage with as I try to figure out these awesome but technical lineup analysis' by dutch oven...

                  If I had voted it would have been for the helmet. Which is weird because I love fantasy stuff so a brownie mascot should be something I'm all in for. But I think one of the reasons I picked the browns is because they stand out in an odd way. I find their genericness charming, like "Great Value Brand Football Team". Bold but basic colors that resemble fall foilage and snow, and then no logo on these helmets, no fancy mascots on them evoking adventure characters like cowboys and bucaneers and vikings, nor animals like seahawks and lions, nor fantasy creatures like giants. Just... Idk...we had a coach whose name was Brown so... Its great to me, even though I used to really like mascots and characters, there's something unique about the browns being a football team whose true aesthetic is...football. Just...Just football. We are a football themed football team. So I don't really need a dog or an elf even though they are fine as costumes to come out and cheer thats fine. But as far as the official aesthetic goes....the theme is football.

                  But I don't have the histroy with them, so I can understand if this isn't a shared sentiment.

                    While I usually wouldn't consider brown and orange a great color scheme, for football (especially for outdoor cold weather northern football) I've always thought it was a fantastic color scheme. Football to me is fall. Brown and orange is perfect for that.

                    That being said, it won't be as great a look inside in a dome if we go that way, IMO.

                      If I could have said it any better than that - you know I would have!    

                      As for putting all that in a dome?  If they can do it in Syracuse for the Orangemen - they can do it much better in Cleveland especially with how much more $ that will be put into it.  They can do it the lifeless boring way or they could build it around a very storied tradition.  Name various sections after Hall of Fame players.  Set up a Wall of Fame. Come up with a clever name for the building.  Just a quick brainstorm off the top of my dome: Orange and Brown Town; THE Pumpkin Patch; Browns Kingdome; Paul Brown Palace, etc.  I'm guessing there's plenty of better ideas.

                      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!"
