Something I find myself asking more and more... Why, oh why, did I become a Browns fan?
Hunky dory.
Best Bowie album ever...

Dad has always been a Browns fan. I didn't really get full blown into football until about 2008 and I remember my dad liking the Browns and watching them, I remember loving the plain uniforms and helmets. And I've always been a fan of the underdog

Been a Browns fan since the early 70s, encouraged by my dad and grandfather. I moved away from Cleveland at a relatively young age, but followed the Browns thru the Sipe & Kosar eras and have become a die hard fan ever since. I thought losing the team in 1995 and sucking ever since would have been the end for me especially since I no longer live in the area, but I have become obsessed with seeing them turn things around. I may be old, wrinkly and grey before that ever happens. Crap...I just looked in the mirror.

Born and raised in Cleveland so I'm a Cleveland fan everything (Browns, Cavs, Indians)
I grew up watching all of the Cleveland sports and such.

Grew up in Cleveland move away in the '70s. Browns, Cavs, Indians not so much. Not much of a baseball fan.
How did I become a Browns fan? I grew up when they were big winners.
Raise your hands.....how many of you are old enough to remember the last Browns championship in 1964.
I am one. Who else?
You know I am Gip. My football memory goes all the way back to "the Greatest Game ever Played" the 1958 NFL Championship. The whole family loved the Browns- and I can happily say I had the opportunity to see Jim Brown play in person many times.
One of the reasons I probably don't care for baseball much is the 1960s Indians were as big a train wreck as the post 1999 Browns. They almost moved- and frankly, very few people at the time would have cared.

Monday Night Football, October 14, 2008 when the Browns beat the undefeated Super Bowl Giants 35-14.

That game was fantastic! Eric Wright with the 100 yd pick 6 to seal the win... Hard to believe you stayed with it after seeing the rest of that season..
My Dad grew up in Solon Ohio and I still have relatives in the Marion/Columbus area. Passed on the curse to me..

My father, fuck him

Born and Raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Browns season tickets till we moved to California in 1982. Stayed a Browns fan ever since...like the indians, just don't follow them as much. As long as there's a Browns team in Cleveland, I will be a NFL Sunday ticket subscriber and plan my Sundays around Browns football.

When I was 17 I took a bus trip to Ohio to see my first ever girlfriend who had moved there the previous summer. She dumped me after the visit so I thought to myself, "Some day I'll get you back!" So when JM asked to get drafted I figured now is my chance! So I've been here ever since.
PS-She now lives in Dallas. How ironic is that!

Not sure about irony, but the term "restraining order" came to mind...

IN 1952, When I was 6, I got a Browns' helmet for my birthday & "The Duke" game used football (Browns vs 49ers exhibition game) when I was 7 in 1953. Both were treasures that my buddies & I tore up in rocky vacant lots over several years (stupid kids!). Back then, players had off season jobs to supplement their Team paychecks. When I was in high school, one of our young star DBs, Don Fleming, was electrocuted while working his off season job in Florida.
I was 18 when the Browns skunked the Colts 27-0 in 1964.We were HEAVY underdogs..OH YEAH!!!
My love of the Browns started early in life & hasn't faded, nor will it. My Prayer is that all you young folks get to experience at least ONE Championship Browns' Team as some of us "oldsters" have. Of course, WE oldsters need to experience at least one more as well, but at least we remember the REAL glory years for the Browns.
Hats off to you young folks for remaining LOYAL Browns' Fans rather than becoming "bandwagon fans". You deserve a winner. We all do.

No offense, but what are you, stupid?

Born into it. Trying to break the cycle and have my boy NOT be a Browns fan.

My first number in youth football was #44. I asked for my favorite player Leroy Kelly's number and GOT IT ! I followed the Browns as a kid until the Bengals were born. Not really understanding but I remember thinking.......HOW could they do that to PAUL BROWN ! We'll get our own team !
