  • I don't know. Maybe we just do it to create some excitement. The Cowboys have 20 and the Packers have 21 in their's. At the rate we are going we'll have the stadium filled with names.

    We haven't won a championship in what, 48 years? We couldn't have had that many good plays in that time frame.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • These are Browns Legends not Ring of Honor

    As good as Chip Banks was there is noway he should be considered a Browns Legend

    I'll throw in Big Daddy Carl Hairston into the list

    "You see the Rams are still thinking that they are playing Tony Dorsett" -Jim Brown 1978

  • Just curious: Who makes the decision about who goes into the Browns Legends, and is there any criteria other than "once played for the Browns"? Is there a requisite number of years they must have played here? Is there a certain percentage of their careers they must have played here? Several Hall of Famers had cups of coffee with the Browns...but I don't think any of them are in (Guys like Len Dawson/Henry Jordan/Willie Davis/Doug Atkins/Tommy McDonald etc.)

    I'll go one further and say Nev Chandler,,,He was IMO the best of the best browns play by play radio announcers.

    Maybe because you didn't hear or remember the others, but Nev as well for sure.

    None the less, we are running out of candidates for this ring. The more we add, the less honorable it gets. Since our return Joe Thomas and Phil Dawson are in,,,,,,Cribbs probably, but at the rate we are going Darren Chevrinni might make it.

    I heard Gib Shanley and IMO...he was boring and he stunk.

    Apparently there is a "Selection Panel".

    Cool man.....I think many would disagree, just like some would say Joe Tate was a poor basketball play by play commentator.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    I grew up on Gib Shanley and Jim Mueller doing the games on radio for the Browns. I loved Gib...hell I wanted to BE Gib Shanley.

    I would take Gerald "ice cube" McNeil over Jackson.

    Gib's tagline: Touchdown for the Browns. Can hear it in my head still.

    No one was more caustic than Gib Shanley.
