<![CDATA["Why the Cleveland Browns don't win?"]]> So I was sitting there watching the game yesterday yelling at the TV for Hue to bench our rookie wonderboy and my 5 year old walks up to me. Conversation goes...

Maz: Why the Cleveland Browns don't win?

Me: Why they don't win? Because they are not very good.

Maz: Why don't they win anytime?

I then started laughing hysterically that he even noticed that the Browns were horrible. I had no clue he even paid attention. My laugh started to slowly turn into a cry as I realized he even knew this.

Last week I was watching the game and somewhat confident they were going to pull off the win while up with a couple minutes left. My wife walks by and I say.."the Browns might finally win!", somewhat confident they could pull it off. She simply replied "No they won't".

I became a Browns fan because I was a fullback in high school and looked up to Tommy Vardell. They became my team. I'm not even from or live in Ohio. I'm not sure why I do this to myself but oh well. I love the Browns. It can't be this way forever can it? šŸ˜‰Ā  It will swing around. Has to. We will still be here when it does and it will feel oh so good!

I guess I would think you would have picked a fullback that was actually good?

You can be honest - it was because he was white, right? šŸ˜†

He wasn't really "white". Ā  He was actually, like, Polynesian or something...wasn't he?

Or, actually, upon further review...it seems that the Vardells have a lot of Native American.

My fav stat-fact from Sunday?

The Browns ran the ball five times on a 96-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter, then ran the ball eight more times the rest of the game.

This pains me greatly.

He was fondly known as "1st Down Tommy" I recall , back in the day.. What a loser...LOL!

Can show the sometimes HUGE difference between NCAA and the professionals especially after signing that bonus check. Desire to really get beat up every week can show.

He never fumbled at Stanford either.

"Touchdown" Tommy Vardell had all of five touchdowns in the 40 games he played for the Browns over four seasons.

He's a weird reason to start liking a team.

Now I am content that eventually we will all share in the turnaround that will be there some day. Kind of a nice feeling to maintain hope when all seems so dark and dreary. It's a true measure of character and God knows there are a bunch of us characters still hanging in.
