I just love to quote myself

but a question doesnt clicking the links from the home page help ?

@miktoxic said:

awesome i finally get around to signing up here and the place may be gone

@mld-woody said:

That is why I would never buy the jersey of a contemporary player, here today, gone tomorrow. Of course, in my case with that name...it would still be applicable.

@mld-woody said:

You should buy that jersey.....he has the best name of anyone on the entire roster. I should probably buy it, but then people would think I was vainglorious.

I font want to get a jersey just to have us not resign the guy. And I don't want one of the very common jerseys. I'd be all over Gipson's jersey if we resigned him.

For what it's worth, Cleveland fans grew really fond of Elvis Grbac when he was wearing a Baltimore jersey. He gave us lot more gifts than Santa Claus. I started calling him Elvis Kringle and played "Here Comes Santa Claus" every time Baltimore's offense took the field.

You post some good stuff about the Browns; and you're a pretty good sport about the Ohio State-Michigan thing considering how outnumbered you are in here. I like that you don't back down even though I hate the school up North. If Jim Harbaugh can make Stanford relevant, he's definitely going to start putting nutsacks back in jock straps up there.

In any event, the way Farmer and Pettine are wiring this team up for success - buying only 1 guy's jersey becomes as outdated as a black and white tv IMO. The WRs, TEs, RBs, D-line, Corners, and LBers will have rotations in cohesion with various downs and distances throughout the game. Therefore, there are no Paul Warfields, Jim Browns, Ozzie Newsomes, Clay Matthews, or Jerry Sherks facing every situation. Joe Thomas does but for some reason offensive linemen jerseys don't sell as well as other positions. Then, you have goofballs like me that worry if I buy his jersey - his streak of starting every game and 8 consecutive Pro Bowls comes to an abrupt halt. O-line is a chemistry thing anyway. All the years in between Steinbach and Bitonio at LG left our ability to run in between a Pro Bowl Center and a Pro Bowl LT very inconsistent at best. In addition, the zbs helped jumper cable up a nice reminder of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." I used to think that sum of its parts statement was just made by smart people to enjoy the puzzled looks they'd see back from dumb asses like me. I'm looking forward to seeing what the line looks like in it's second year of zbs and our 2 oline coaches returning as well as Mack returnign to Center. Everything else is just meatballs on spaghetti for our insatiable appetite of "RUN IT DOWN THEIR ESOPHAGUS!"

i'm thinking desir or mayne or both.

No, I won't only get Michigan players' jerseys. I am just not sure who to get from the current team.

@flugel said:

I was thinking of current roster....no Michiganders on the roster.

@mld-woody said:

Yeah butt...

If you're exclusive to guys from your favorite college team, Leroy Hoard and Steve Everitt left here with us remembering their stamps on our physical running game in our 11-5 season back in the early 90s. That was also the last time this franchise won a playoff game. Too bad Thom Darden was even less recent because he was a damn good Safety here.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns may have two players in the top 10 in NFL jersey sales thanks to new uniform designs, but at least one former player isn't a big fan of the team's new look.

In an interview with Sporting News, Paul Warfield, who caught 271 passes and scored 52 touchdowns in eight seasons with the Browns, calls himself "a vocal critic of them changing their uniforms. ... Do you see the Yankees changing their uniforms? Certain staples should never change."

Warfield, who was a member of the 1964 Browns, the last Cleveland team to win a championship, doesn't like the idea of a team rich in tradition changing its look. "The orange helmet, the markings on the sleeves, the white jerseys at home — that's the Cleveland Browns, just like the pinstripes are the New York Yankees."

Why compare the Browns, though, with the Yankees? The Yankees have experienced some relatively recent success while the Browns haven't even won a playoff game since 1995.

Said Warfield:

"The Browns were dominant. The Browns were championship caliber,'' he said. "What stood out for me, watching them as I grew up (in northeast Ohio), was how they compared to the New York Yankees.

"The Yankees might have had tough years for a while. They might have been tempted to make a change in their uniforms, make them modern. But they were the pinstripes, and they kept being the pinstripes, and they're never going to change from the pinstripes."

I want special badges

You don't need no stinking badges!!!!

Just give me some Browns gear to buy....

And the wife and I would like to buy Browns vs broncos

Tickets (2) anyone have some for sale or know the site

The Browns board gets a piece of the action! THANKS!

@mld-woody said:

No Michigan men on the roster whose shirt you could wear?

@mudfly said:

Good idea with a few thoughts....

1) Please give us some idea of the amount needed.

2) I like the PayPal suggestion.

3) I DO NOT like the acknowledgement for "levels of donation". It's not the size of the donation one is able to give that makes them more or less valuable to the Board. Besides, if anyone gives for the sake of personal recognition, they're giving for the wrong reason.

That being said, I'm all for the idea Mudfly posted. Giving back to the Browns Board only seems right.

Do I really need a name if I am wearing a Browns #32 jersey?

@tour2ma said:

I participate in a drummers forum that does an annual fund raiser for one week only.....they simply send out a single mass email and pin one post(for a week) asking or donations...and they include a Paypal link to make it easy......then, when the week has passed, they drop it for a year....no pressure, no requirement to donate......and it works.....

Another thing they do is give a gold/silver/bronze bar for certain levels of donation. Im not sure thats the best idea, but do know that it encourages "some" to donate and others to donate more. The problem with that is that some wear it as some kind of special badge that they've earned and feel they have more ownership than the non donors....which probably isnt good for the site overall...

None the less....if the owner of this site opted for a donation drive.....Id be game and would pitch in for sure......

I agree. I would hate to see us lose the Browns board because of financial reasons. A lot of great football knowledge gets shared on this forum as well as being entertaining.
