Happy birthday Ghoolie.
Better days are ahead. This time next birthday you will be praising Dorsey on his QB selection. Your mother will have had her hand in it too up in heaven so you cant lose in this draft.
Touche' Thanks man.

Rain kept us from headed to the Casinos tonight, so we are going tonight. Over my birthday dinner at a favorit bar, a bunch of guys got drawn into a convo I started about football. When the subject of great teams, heritage, and impressive times, I brought up my being a lifelong Browns fan. Some in the crowd were 50 ish but most 40 or less.
Some commented that I must have remembered Sipe and Kosar, but when I mentioned I saw the great Jim Brown, you could tell there were more than a few skeptics. When I showed the picture of 7 year old me and Jim after practice at Hiram in 1961, you could have heard a pin drop. My phone got passed around for what seemed like an hour. Bartenders came over as did strangers not even at the bar.
It wasn't a show off thing, it never is, instead it is an opportunity for me to say....look asstards................WE ARE BROWNS FANS................. we know more than you do. It opened up an hour long conversation about the Browns, JB, PB, Bulldogs, etc.....you would be amazed not only at how little folks know about our heritage, but how interested they are in hearing about it.
Birthday present? Dudes, I got to talk Browns to strangers, and listen to people say...."damn, that guy looked like a badass"
We can blast the Browns, but nobody knows them like we do.
Man do I want a win against the Bears. Then take the MO against the Steelers.

I watched the movie about Ernie Davis last night. I have to admit, it turned Ghoolie into a total pussy. The story of Ernie in itself was a heart breaker. Add to that the excellent depiction of the 60s era Browns, a depiction of nobility, strength and prominence was beautiful to watch. Finally, for me, this Christmas will be my first ever without my Mom, and of course no Browns December excitement to boot. Those movie images of what the Browns once were, also brought back to me images of what life with my parents was like back then.
We love the Browns, because we are the Browns.
Tomorrow is my birthday, I have prayed for the Browns to give me a win this weekend and for us make Trubisky look worse than Lynch. It would be a sweet win.
If you haven't seen the movie, you should.

I feel for you. I lost both parents within months of each other last year, so this is the first year without either of them for me.

You're talking about The Express?
Yeah, it was a great connection for me to the old days. I was old enough to vaguely remember the sorrow over Ernie, but was of course told of him by my Dad. Movie was well done.
