    I've been a fan for many DECADES. I don't have hope, I gave up hope long ago. I have faith. No proof of existence of any improvement, but the faith that it will happen before I die.

    I hoped the Warfield trade would bring us the franchise QB that we needed

    I hoped that Cockroft could kick a game winning field goal into the teeth of a Jan lake Erie wind

    I hoped the defense could keep Elway from driving the length of the field

    I hope Bernie could drive us down for one more score

    I hoped that Bellichik was the next Don Shula

    I hoped that Al Lerner was a better owner than Art Modell

    I hoped that Tim Couch would be the next Peyton Manning

    I hoped that Butch could bring some of the magic from Miami or Dallas

    I hoped that Randy would be a little more in touch with todays NFL than his father

    I hoped that Charlie Fry could realize his childhood dreams

    I hoped that Romeo would turn out to be the next Bill Parcells

    I hoped that Braylon would be the next Paul Warfield

    I hoped Holmgren knew what the hell he was doing

    I hoped that Richardson and Weeden would be our Troy and Emmit...or at least our Big Gay Ben and Bettis

    I hoped trucker Jimmy could right this mess and not be the lying thief that the FBI claims he is

    I hoped that Banner couldn't be the greasy weasel he comes off as and Lombardi wouldn't be as clueless as he appears

    I hoped that Hoyer and Rainey wouldn't look like practice squad bums that the...NO FUCK THIS ...I'm all out of HOPE!

    After writing off this season 2 games in, I really do believe now that it can only get better. This has to be the lowest mark I have ever seen the team hit. So up it is!

    My Bride of 43 years & I may not be the most attractive, successful, or sophisticated to most, but we are to each other & our love for one another has grown in the 45 years since we 1st met & fell in love. I feel the same way about my Browns, having met & fallen in love with them in the early 1950s. I'll die loving & remaining loyal to her AND my Browns...'Nuff said.

    I keep getting chills that we may be tied with the stillers at season end for the number one pick and need to lose. And I can't even come up with a name for that feeling.

    i agree and god bless.

    BUT in no way will that give me any reason not to post my displeasure with the 'dumbness' in how this team has been run since '99.

    i've been together with my girlfriend (wife) for 20+ years with a separation in between.

    i'll never stop rooting for the browns BUT a loud-mouthed drunken bitch is another story.

    For those that have followed my posts, I go back to the late 50s Glory years, and this run surpasses the suckitude of the Phipps 70s. As I said- we've hit rock bottom, and stated to dig. What other team trades one of their top offensive threats for "future considerations" two games into the season? Yeah but even so, I'll be in front of the TV 1PM Sunday to see if we somehow can avoid a train wreck and pull off a win against the Vikings, unlikely as that may seem.

    Or at least- how much liquor will it take to pass out before the end of the game? Our regular crew has already decided- if the Browns are going to suck- we had better make sure the wines and booze don't.

    My fear is that when that finally happens I will be drooling and shitting my diaper in a nursing home.
