Phil Dawson Retiring as a Brownie
-
“To have the opportunity to come back home and retire with the organization and the city that I love is incredibly meaningful to me,” Dawson said in a release from the team. “It only seems right to have the opportunity to do this with the fans that have been so good to me and my family.”

This was one I'll never forget.

They were joking on TRAINING CAMP DAILY about Phil maybe being available......to kick.
Happy retirement.

What a class act and a class move.. Kudos to everyone in the Browns organization for making this happen... And Kudos to Phil.. I know I gave him a lot of grief over the years.. Some warranted.. Some of it not.. Happy Retirement Mr.Dawson !!

I am elated that Phil will retire as a Brown. The guy was "money in the bank" in the toughest wind in the NFL & I expect to see him in the Ring of Honor before long. I remember him getting BETTER year after year after year.......
Welcome home Phil Dawson. We LOVE ya!!!

I’m trying to find the clip of my favorite Phil Dawson play but having trouble. It was a fake kick where he ran the ball right up the gut for a first down and made some solid contact in the process, and if memory serves it was the play that earned him the nickname Phil “the human battering ram” Dawson. Can’t even remember who it was against. Here’s an article that at least mentions his nickname.

Phil Dawson signed a wooden cutout of a Browns' player for me. I asked him to sign the foot, he signed the helmet just by the ear. He said he'll always be in my ear... lol
Great Job coming home Phil! I know it's over but I'm still gonna say it. Encore? One time baby, one time.

I'll never forget this game, watching it with my dad and knowing Phil was somehow going to go out there and make 'em despite the nonsense weather. I'm glad to see this happening, beers should always be free for this dude in Cleveland. Just like JT, I just wish he coulda been part of some winning teams.

I'll never forget this game,
That long FG in the bad weather is, to me, one of the best kicks in history.
When Romeo sent him out for that long one I said to my wife, This is a stupid decision to try and kick a FG from way out here. And when he snuck it in there I said, What a kick! But it was STILL a stupid decision. - We had some BAD head coaches!
We have a history of some good kickers, all the way back to The Toe.....but I think Phil was our best kicker ever. As Canton Mike eluded, it ain't easy to kick in the Cleveland late season winds, rain & snow....but he played the winds & weather and MADE the kicks. - I'm glad that he loves us right back.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
As someone who loves the Browns it is hard not to have a real fondness for Browns players (both former and present) who love the team, the city of Cleveland and it's fans. Thank you Phil Dawson!
