I played Hookie the day JFK was murdered. I had a fake stomach ache. I was 10 when we won the championship.
The days of Modell versus the city are gone. It simply doesn't matter any more. We have the Browns and they play in a great stadium. Modell made some dumb business decisions and lost everything. We suffered. Bernie Kosar did the same thing and is now penniless. Give them both respect, they gave it their very best. Ya gotta let that old crap die already.
Here is the thing about championships. If your team hasn't won one in recent years, really, what the hell is the difference whether it has been 10, 20, 30 or more? Some fair weathered jackoff is going to make fun of you if you aren't in the recent winners circle. Hell, it has been ages for a lot of teams, so what?
Excellent point Ghoolie. I have always said that the only two championships that matter are the last one and the next one. All others are history, be it the title won by the Akron Pros in 1920 or the 2012 title won by Baltimore.
And for everyones information, of the 32 NFL teams, 15 have never won a Super Bowl. So its not like the Browns are in exclusive company never having won one.
You think Steeler assholes feel better because of the Bradshaw era? Fuck, they don't even know who he was.
Right. He is as much a memory to most of them as Fritz Pollard is to us.
(Fritz Pollard....QB/HB/leadr of the Akron Pros 1920 NFL champions.....African-American by the way...I guess it was the NFL that WAS the Negro League)

Young ones are so impatient these days.
Yes we are. You old timers can at least enjoy your memories of all the Browns Negro-league championships from back in the 60s and the Dawg Pound of the 80s and 90s, but for those fans like myself who were born in the color TV era, its fucking frustrating to watch a team who consistently fail year after year without anything to show for it. I would stop watching football before I stopped rooting for the Browns, but it'd be nice if they could get their shit together and at least give us younger fans something to hang our hat on, like a playoff appearance or something.

Tuco dog's lament reminds of this poor guy who's last wish was to have Browns players as his pall bearers so that the browns can "let him down" one last time. He died at 55.
