Time and effort

I will be a Browns fan till the day I die and love watching football but there's no point in keepin on that way until they turn the corner. I'm sitting at 25 years old and I've literally seen 2 years of football that were worth a crap.
I'm 52 and keep letting the Browns kill me slowly. Two of my sons live away from here (Houston, Phoenix) and go to Browns Backer bars- I'm thinking they are just like you, wondering why they keep the faith (they are 28 & 26).
In my fandom (1970-present), the Browns have only had a few "runs of success." Teams like Denver, Pittsburgh, & Dallas have basically been contenders my whole fandom, and it's hard to understand why the Browns can't get out of their own way. When you watch other expansion teams come in and kick your ass, like Carolina and Jacksonville, it's even more of a downer. Yesterday sucked almost as bad as when Marty out-coached the Browns away from a couple Super Bowls.
I'm sticking with it, 45+ years and counting. I'll be down there Sunday, but it looks like the tailgates will be better than the game again.

Yeah, my dad and I are in a similar position to you and your children. Somehow or another my other brothers got away from rooting for the Browns so it's just and him keeping the faith. As I said though, I'll never stop being a Browns fan and will always be interested in how they are doing, watching as much as I can etc. But as each year goes on it's just something I take less seriously. I enjoy talking football (why I'm here) and all my friends talk to me because I'm the only Browns fan they know haha. But it's just something I'm finally turning the corner of "it is what it is" instead of being pissed off. I honestly can't imagine what it would be like to have this attitude 30 years from now but we'll see.

I am going to start to put as much time and effort into commenting on this board as the Browns apparently do planning for their games.
Which means you won't see me much on here for a while. I have some vacations coming up....so I think I will concentrate on those....and trying to get some work done.

Safe travels, Gip...

Have a great vacation Gip and remember wherever you go...there you are

Oh, I am still here and will be here and there....just frustration. Like I said....I will give the same effort here as the Browns give....which means very little.
I do plan to participate on the big tailgate activities this week.
Oh my goodness. The leader of the anti-FRAK we're the best fans in the world because we don't fly by night with our fandom has called a timeout. How hypocritical of you. You better buck up camper. The season ain't over and I'm not done whooping that ass. Besides, it's not a good look man. Although as humble as you are you probably don't consider me a worthwhile adversary, I do like our banter. If you go away I'll be sad. Plus, after years of bragging about your fans and how loyal they are, it would seem inappropriate that the most vocal of the bunch tucks tail in frustration. Don't go, please don't go.

I didn't say I was going.....just that I would put the same effort here that they do at their jobs. The difference is that I do have a job that doing this takes time away from some.
Plus other interests.
Besides....you apparently don't know what a FRAK is.
A FRAK would say......I am frustrated at the Browns for losing......I am going to go be a fan of Team X and root for them.
What I am saying is that I am obviously still a Browns fan......and always will be. Its just a matter of equal effort and preparedness.
I am prepared to pound your silly stupid ass into the ground. You just may not have to eat dirt quite as often.
You should consider yourself lucky.

We all knew this was too good to be true.......or BS.....kinda like all the rest of your posts.
What? I HAVE actually cut down on my posting here, considerably. Just like I said I would.

Wow.
This is highly disturbing . . . Whitner, one of our Team leaders, is saying the D didn't play that bad against the Jets . . .
Major disconnect going on somewhere /smh
-
They didn't. They had some great moments often...
and weaknesses at other times.
It isn't like they botched the entire game from the gitgo.
Just had ? some cleaning up to do on communication.. and
Need Orchard and Cooper in there.

Man up
