  • Didnt know if anyone saw this there is going to be a documentary about the last season that was played in Cleveland before the move in '95..

    If im correct it should air Wed at 8 on NFL Network....It actually looked really good Belichick and a number of other people talking.. It will not only cover the season but also the move and way it impacted the league and the city as well..

  • Can't wait to watch it

  • Was there in 95 at the Browns Green Bay game(if my memory serves me right was the final game there. To say it was a emotional city is a understatement! Was kind of worried walking down there. One of the craziest atmospheres I have seen at a sporting event. Pretty sure Eric Zieter was our starting QB. And the hardest hit I saw was a guard plowing some unlucky fan that had run onto the field.(was many that day, but this guy got laid the &*() out.)

    I'm pretty sure your memeory is not correct.The final home game in 1995 was against the Bungles

  • Really looking forward to this.

  • My last NFL game was in December '95, at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego. The Chargers thumped the Browns good that day, but it was far more than that. There was a very weird haze that floated over all of us SoCal Browns Backers, and was similar to a funeral, or maybe more like a wake. I haven't seen any of those people in the 17 years that have passed, although I am friends with a few of them on Facebook.

    As the game neared its obvious outcome, Pio Sagapolutele came over to where we all were sitting, and started to shake hands with those of us that went down to the first row. He shook my hand, looked me in the eyes and said he was sorry. It really never hit me until that moment just how much the Browns and everything that encompasses them actually meant to me. The team, the friends every weekend at the sports bar, the games, the emotional rides.......Everything. After Pio turned around to walk back to the bench, I cried for what seemed like minutes. At the end of the game, all of my circle of friends said we would still get together and watch football next year, but it never happened.

    My one and only daughter was born in June of '95, so it was likely that my obsession with the Browns would have calmed a bit even had they never moved, but I still think back on those days ('79-'95) and I always smile, and then almost cry......Almost. 😎

    It was indeed against the Bengals. I have a bunch of photos I took from the stands and the looks on the faces of the folks in the stands is still heartbreaking. That was the Browns final home game on December 17th. I still have my ticket stubbs and two Browns seats I took from the Stadium.

    The Browns final game was an away game the following week.

    Earlier that year I attended the MNF game against Buffalo, I was in the upper deck and still remember at half time looking up and about at all the old construction, trying to listen for voices from days gone bye and wondering if the stadium would be there in another 20 years.

    Boy, who knew.

    I noticed that the Browns-Giants is going to be televised here in Memphis. Perhaps this is the week the NFL will validate the new owner? Hell, I haven't heard any news about this at all.

    He'll be given the green light to take over on the 16th of October.

  • Set DVR to record the show.

    May or may not watch it...

  • Anyone watching this? It sounds painful, yet enthralling.

  • The Browns didn't move.

    Model announced he was moving the team to Baltimore.

    Fans and media went nuts because the Browns were moving to Baltimore.

    The owner and players went to Baltimore, and there was no team in Cleveland.

    The Baltimore teams draft position and schedule was based on the Browns record.

    I'm going to watch a documentary about the move.

    But, you have to understand, The Browns didn't move.

  • I think it's just going to piss most of us off. I'm not sure I want to relive it at all. We got a team again, but we've really never truly recovered.

    I hope it's not a propaganda tool to get Art sympathy & in the HOF.

  • This makes me want to start crying. Saddest shit I have watched since the first time I watched Simon Burtch. The only thing that makes me feel good is the fact that I have been seeing a lot of current players tweeting about the show. Maybe now they will finally understand a little bit about what happened and play with some fucking passion.

    Ruining threads since 1897.

  • I have it on dvr, on the fence on watching it.

    I was 15 when this happened. I remember my dad bought me a six pack, lowered his tailgait, and said "son, don't.worry about your mom."

  • Well, let's say this. I do have much more respect for Belichick and what they were trying to do in Cleveland. I thought it was really well done and appreciate the inside footage of the staff as they were trying to work through the season.

    I didn't see it. Don't get NFL network....but...our next HC may come from that staff: Nick Saban.

    I still say he is wasting his time in college at this point.

  • Watched it last night on DVR after the debates(what a joke they were 😛 )... Sigh... what could have been! 😠

    So to those in Baltimore, New England, and any other football program such as the college programs in Alabama and Iowa that has reaped the benefits of success from these disciples of the Bellichick tree, at the expense of Cleveland and it's loyal fans, who now have had to put up with this pathetic shit of losing for 13 years....

    YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!! 😠

    Signed Cleveland Browns fans!

    BTW did anybody hear Bernie Kosar on 850 during drive time yesterday? If you did, then you know what I'm talking about, and it should infuriate you even more! 😠

    I don't know if he would trade his power & influence over college kids over getting an NFL team and dealing with the headaches, but who knows...

  • Saban will go down as one of the greatest college coaches ever...it's easy for him now...kids just want to go to Alabama for the chance at the title... he has even said it has become much easier recruiting since he doesn't have to talk up the program like he used to... he is set his family is set...he could be there like joe pa was. He is not a risk taker, he would not trade in a sure thing, a great thing, a perfect thing for a chance to make a few thousand people smile in the bitter north...Now Kirk Ferentz may...but im guessing no.

  • i watched and thought it was very well done. and to anyone that said belichik is an asshole....is an asshole. we had some great coaches and staff. the piece actually dealt with the team being built and the history of the coaches before and after. not so much on the move itself.

    there were 2 people that stood out to me to be half insane and that was saban (looked like a nervous wreck bouncing up and down at the meetings...) and kokinos's kid. where they find this dude in line at the methadon clinic? geez. must be nice to have a powerful dad. just ask pat shurmur.
