    I need to play catch up. I saw the NFL network do a brief history of the team but it was a part of a larger segment.

    I looked up the team on wikipedia and saw the lengthy history but I want to know more about the team today.

    I want to know about the stadium, the fans, tailgating and rivals! Thanks in advance!

        Worst decision you ever made in your life.

        Be ready for heartache and heartbreak. But you'll soon find yourself becoming loyal to the death.

        YOU'RE ONE OF US!

          To give you a brief history.

          Joined the AAFC. Dominance.

          Moved to the NFL. Dominance, but didn't win the title every yearlike in the AAFC.

          80's. Awesome, but heartbreak.

          90's. Moved to Baltimore. Modell is the devil.

          99. Came back. Sucked ever since.

          Random playoff appearance in 02.

          Random success in 07 but fell short of the playoffs.

          More misery.

          Holmgren. Hope.

          RICHARDSON.

            I like the under dog, less fake fans and bandwagon jumpers. Plus it's that much more satisfying when they do win! I'm in it! Browns baby!

                      Bad choice for a team but great choice of fans. You have been warned ... its nothing but anger and heart break.

                          Bullshit. It's a GREAT choice of a team. The Browns have a history of greatness and will return again, just like Douglas MacArthur.

                              Yeah, I know. I've been watching the same stinkfest as you. But 2012 will be a good year.

                                  I suggest that you follow the the next ten easy steps

                                  1. congratulate yourself for making a very wise choice

                                  2. drink four Christmas ales within 1 hour (season dependent)

                                  3. Buy as much orange and brown clothing as you can (guide is 3 months salary)

                                  4. Read at least 10 books on our history

                                  5. disregard the season stats from 2007 (that is still painful for me)

                                  6. spend at least $1500 on seeing one game a year

                                  7. But a rabid dog and train it by out-barking it (come in-handy in the dawg pound)

                                  8. worship Kosar, Sipe, Ryan. Graham hourly ( see point 4 above)

                                  9. Get a "ginger Ninja " tattoo

                                  10. Buy a ticket to see the worlds best football franchise in history

                                  Works for me

                                  It's simple.

                                  Oh. and be ready for a bumpy ride - but I think you chose a good off season to become a Browns fan - we are going to kill this year.

                                  but what do i know.......

                                  Tailgate loving, Steelers hating, Trans-Atlantic Browns fan. Annually disappointed since '88. Annually optimistic since '88. GO BROWNS!

                                      Here's another welcome, especially to a REAL Fan & not a front runner. While it has not gone smoothly in a long time, you'll find Brown's Fans to be the most loyal & passionate in the NFL. The only ones coming close to rivaling our loyalty are Green Bay Fans & that's pretty good company. As stated, the Browns have a very rich history & you'll learn plenty just by following this Board.

                                      Enjoy the ride....We are a Team on the rise!

                                      Mike

                                          hey man, welcome aboard.

                                          if you become a regular poster here you might wonder WTF is going on. believe me we are all die hard fans who want only the best for this team. AND if you keep reading some of our threads you might scratch your head wondering why some of us "on paper" seem to not get a long. this is not fan hate on hate, it's just some people don't agree on the way things are being done to achieve the status of once again being a powerhouse.

                                          we all have our differences of opinion.

                                          that being said (after reading posts of fan vs, fan) we all wan this team to succeed. bottom line.

                                          let's hope you bring us the luck to take us over the top.

                                          LET'S GO MFing BROWNS!!!
