<![CDATA[Browns of the 50's]]>Would like to know how many "old" folks out there like me who go back to the glory days of Grahan, Groza and the group that made us fans feel like they were family. I'm 67 and can, believe it or not, remember the 1950 season. My father played HS football with Bill Lund, one of the original Browns in 1946 and mom was close with Dante Lavellis sister. So, all I heard about (and loved) as a kid was the Browns. We didn't have a pot in those days but Sunday was reserved for the old Philco radio and the Browns.....anyone else out there?

Im a fan of Stella Artois...they call it "wife beater" in the UK LOL...none the less...good beer.

I guess, because of the name, I kinda thought that was a French beer...or German. Or Dutch. You sure it is not Dutch?

OK, I see you say it is Belgian. I thought it was one of those.

Ha, not one I'd go for! Yes, 'wife beater' - because you have a few pints of it then go home and smack your wife about a bit presumably. 'Pint of wifey please mate.' Btw, it's Belgian.

OK, but, I don't know of any British beers that anyone would choose either. Irish beers, German beers, yes.

Hell, I can't even think of a British beer.

That's the annoying part, we have such great beer, but you can't find it anywhere else. Irish beers are essentially the same as British beers, just that Guinness is world famous.

My parents, and a few friends got together to listen to it. 66 was the 1st year I really got into the Browns.

For the 2nd topic, I remember most of my friends fathers drank Strohs, but after I tasted it as a kid, I never tried it again. Sam Adams Lager is my beverage of choice.

The browns picked a stud running back with the 3rd overall pick, and then took a huge gamble on a 28-year old minor-league pitcher turned QB.

So sad that a 57yr. old Pittsburgh fan in his lifetime has experienced 12 championships Pittsburgh pro sports teams brought to their city, while a 57yr. old Cleveland fan has witnessed 0 ..unless at the age of 8 he remembers 1964.

A 57yr. old not knowing what it feels like to experience a championship, wow.

Cleveland has to be the worst 3 sport city in the U.S.

Yes. You are a lucky dumbass. That is all there is to it.

And actually, that probably makes us one of the 3 BEST sports cities.....in terms of the dedication of the fans. A city with -0- titles is every bit as avid...or more so than a city with 12.

Plus we certainly do not have the FRAKs that you have.

Also, I was 12 and do remember 1964.

(I assume you included the Pipers ABA title?)
