RIP to a Great Browns fan, and to Ghoolie.
-
At roughly 7 am today, my Mom passed away in Youngstown. She battled COPD, and brain and bone cancer thrown in to make the end of her days even more fun. Her and my Dad were Browns fans back to the days of PB and Otto. I remember the young Monte Clark, Ray Renfro, JB, Warfield, Fiss, Gain, Wooten and a ton of old, great Browns. During the summer of 62, my Dad faced a long layoff from US Steel, so we went to Hiram at least 3 days a week to watch the Browns practice. The picture I attached is me and the greatest that ever lived. This was I believe, 1964. Jim's last hurrah. Defensive back Paul Warfield had only just begun to convince Blanton Collier to let him play receiver.
That was the team I loved. That was the team my Mom loved. As ill as she was, she found a way to get up this past week for the Jet's Game, she was motivated and awake enough to watch her Brownies, cuss at Hue, and convince me that one day they would be winners again. I think about her, bones contorted from arthritis, and aching from cancer' her consciousness gradually being sapped from her by a brain mass, Lack of breath from COPD, unable to swallow or defecate under control, refusing the soothe of morphine, so she could stay with us, and watch football,,,,,,,,,,,,,,The Browns.
Kizer had a migrane, did he? Garrett hurt his toe? Hue is trying. The FO is doing their best. "Ghoolie, you are a bully, you are too mean and relentless on these heroes."
Then, on top of this, ... truly, this team, this sport, this league, and the idiots supporting them, cause it to it dawns on me...........the Browns team and culture that I am passionate about is dead.
I hope you guys get your win. Enjoy you team. I....................................am done.
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -

Very sorry for your loss.

Sorry about your loss man..
Lets win one for the Ghoolsters mom this week! -
Sorry about your mom. You're absolutely right. Our team died in 1995. We love football, so we watch and root for an imposter that has no other connection than to play in the same city as the original. The hopes that this team will some day be similar to the team we loved and were proud of before they left is exactly the same as me checking my lotto numbers. I always check, but know it will never happen. Still....some of us enjoy your maniacal rants, so hang in there. Also...Kevin Hogan...Bernie Kosar...the same vowels in both first and last names. Coincidence?...I think not. The comeback starts this Sunday!
