Browns connections continue to amaze me. How about you?

Walking through Giant Eagle in Barberton earlier today, get stopped by an older gentleman in the produce section and we had a 10 minute conversation about the Browns because he noticed me wearing my new Browns hoodie.
I know Barberton is relatively close to Cleveland, but I can't remember the last time some stranger talked Browns with me this late in the year OPTIMISTICALLY. That's fucking huge, in my opinion. The sleeping giant that is Browns Nation is awakening.

Dutch,
I don't discount this because of the distance to Barberton. You know, it isn't just the distance in miles man, it is also the distance in time. What I mean is, there was a time when you really didn't have to remark at chance encounters because our Browns were sizzling everywhere. To me, what you described, at least I am hopeful, is a resurrection of that culture, aura, energy, or whatever we call it.
Larry pointed out, correctly that a lot of the people who fell off the wagon are about to come back.
Is it not amazing that something as simple as dumping Hue made such a difference? And not just in the team, but in us as well. I am sad that Stan, and my parents for that matter aren't here to enjoy it. But...we still have us, eh?

Why didn't you stop and see me? You could have bought me lunch?
I was just down the hill from you.

I made out like a bandit on Browns gear this Christmas.. Dumping Huebatross was a total Godsend.. But I'm really not surprised.. I had a great feeling about Baker and Chubb when we selected them... Baker is smashing the rookie stereo type.. And is breaking records as is Chubb.. Gregg Williams what I thought he was.. An inspirational leader and an intelligent Coach.. GO BROWNS!!!

Had a Browns hoodie on at JFK coming home from a game against the Cardinals when a guy from Cleveland stopped me to chat briefly. He spent most of the time just sighing and shaking his head at how bad we were at the time. This was Hoyer/Mansfield era
Pleased to hear the pride has been put back into the jersey and fans are flocking back.

Last night Cathy and I were in a local pub getting a burger. A guy sits next to us and me being the gregarious windbag I am, I get to talking to the guy. Turns out he moved here from Mentor, is a Browns fan from the Kosar era on, and is the new plant manager at a facility where I just sold the largest water system of my career. We talked about football, Cleveland, Youngstown, Steelers, polka music, bands, and even Stan's beloved Mentor Cardinals.
On our Cuban cruise, I met 5 people from the Youngstown area, 4 of who were Browns fans.
Rumor has it that Jerry Lawler may show up Sunday at the Browns Backers got together for the game. He is a huge Browns fan, you know?
It is comforting to me that I can travel, and still, so very often find folks tied to the Browns and to Ohio. We really are blessed to have the Browns as a staple to our lives.
Happy New Year, indeed.

I'll be at the Browns Backers club in Vegas tomorrow, Ghoolie! I'm headed up there with some friends and i'm pretty stoked.
I'll let you know how it goes. Let's kill the Ravens!

Good story! I'm not used to saying this about Modell but good thing you held off on ripping on him - so you could learn such a thing.
Way back when Ernie Davis was getting clobbered by Leukemia - Art was very protective of Davis from the media ancestors of the Grossi and Cabot types with insatiable appetites to sell the controversy first.
I still HATE Modell; but there's some evidence he had a heart before he sold his soul...

Yeah, it feels good to see people getting excited about this team again. Normally, I'd question a loyalty that ever left. That said I saw a quote that slapped a perfect perspective on it all. "You have to understand I'm a reasonable person that has experienced unreasonable circumstances for DECADES before you question my confidence, faith and loyalty." And then I thought to myself with a sigh - well, I was almost reasonable...
We've had some die hards from England in here that have come to games and tailgates. Just wondering, do you guys have a Browns Backers club in your area that meets up for games at a local sports bar or pub?

Joe Thomas has done a good bit of hunting over the years in the Shenango Wildlife area and was surprised to be having coffee with him fairly early one morning at the local eatery. Way cool. Turns out that there has been a mountain lion reported in that area and JT was one that saw it.
You call him a liar.
Oh ya, it’s documented

Yeah the British Bulldawgs meet up every Sunday to watch the Browns in a London casino. I’ve only attended once myself.

More than a couple bears have been spotted in NE Ohio. One made it all the way to Brecksville.

Dude! That’s a normal spring and early summer occurrence here. Those reports are fun to see. My one neighbor came out to bear poop in his drive three years ago. Two years ago just up the street one was in his garage snooping around the grill. He got it on video too. Had to be at least 400 lbs too. But mountain lions are a way different and way scarier critter. And they’re not supposed to be here. At least until JT saw one. Bears are cool and a lot like a big raccoon. A lion will stalk and eat you though. They were once prevalent just east of here too. That’s why they’re named the Nittany Lions

Bears are cool??
I couldn't deal with seeing a bear walking around, I would pussy out and run a mile
