    So people that like the phrase "Play Like A Brown"... what about phrases from other teams you may not like? (ex, Michigan Man)

    Do you like the idea of both phrases, and what they stand for? Or do you just like the one that represents your team, and not the one that doesnt?

    The most important Michigan Man ever....the guy that invented the phrase, was a Buckeye. Of course you knew that..

    Yes, you feel the need to remind me every time we have a back and forth, even if it is completely unrelated....

    As if it means anything...

    It means he was a Buckeye born and bred. He only went to Michigan for the money.

    Its OK though....not 10 minutes ago when I popped into the bank I ran into a friend of mine who is the father of another Barberton boy who went to Michigan to play football. RB Larry Ricks. Remember him?

  • Say in the stands???

    Is that what y'all call yells these days??? Just "sayin' stuff"?

  • I didn't deny it was a yell. But there isn't a coordinated "PLAY LIKE A BROWN" yell. Nor does A&M use "farmers fight" in locker rooms, weight rooms, on the field, etc.

  • It's tied tighter'n a bull's a*shole in fly season.

  • I have not read through the 8 pages of this thread (just the first and last two) but I get the feeling that some might be misintrepting the Play like a Brown concept. The idea is not tradition-based as in "play like the Browns are known for playing" but it's asking the players to dedicate themselves to a set of defined values (Accountable, relentless, productive, passionate, tough and competitive).

    Those are the company's values and decision making should favor players who adopt or personify them. It's common in corporations for company values to be communicated to all employees. Play like a Brown is merely a football equivalent.

    Right, because every head coach tells their team to play like a brown.

    And how can "y'all" leave out the most important 3 words in Texanese, "We're (or I'M) fixin' to......." For example, We're fixin' to ride this Browns slogan all the way to the Superbowl" or "Saddle 'em up boys we're fixin' to smoke these mf'ers." 😆

  • go shit in a hat

  • I could see Tomlin telling his team to play like a Pittsburgh Steeler...maintaining that tenacious, hard hitting tradition, from James Harrison, Polamalu, and Hines Ward, back to Gregg Lloyd and Rod Woodson, back to Mean Joe Greene and Jack Lambert.

    To say "play like a brown" sounds kind of empty, there are no players linking these browns to the 1950's....especially being whatever link that may have existed was broken in 1995.
