We've hit the Wizard of Oz days left!
We've hit the Wizard of Oz days left!
Oh yes the Cleveland BROWNS own #82 HOF Ozzie Newsome. Hitting pay "dirt" at the Ol' Municipal Stadium. Many of old memories there.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
And coming up next at #81 this Monday during the first ever Monday Night Football game in 1970. The 1969 Super Bowl III winner New York Jets and Joe Namath come into Cleveland.
Cleveland Browns defensive ends Jack Gregory (81) and Ron Snidow (88) blast through the New York Jets protection to pressure quarterback Joe Namath during a Monday Night Football game in 1970.AP.
Gregory was a Pro Bowler in 1969 and started every game from 1969-71. But his biggest accomplishment is his place in the Browns record book. Although sacks weren’t an official NFL stat until 1982, Gregory’s 14 sacks in 1970 are recognized by the Browns as the second-most in a single season, behind Bill Glass’ 14.5 in 1965. (Reggie Camp also had 14 sacks, in 1984).

Holy poop on a stick, this photo is from the Browns/Saints game in 1984. It was the first game under Shottenheimer, and my first Browns game I saw in person. I would have been 8.

? Just looking back on your 8 year old memories on your first ever trip to the trip to the GIGANTIC CLEVELAND MUNICIPAL STADIUM ..... and it was GIGANTIC for an 8 year old..... (oh BTW i saw my 1st ever Cleveland Indians game at 8 y/o in 1959, NO KIDDING, it was GIGANTIC ! ) ....... to finish your trip down memory lane....... ?.......
I can see why you liked #82 OZZIE NEWSOME he scored all of the CLE TDs.
Scoring Summary
2nd Quarter NO Cle NO 5:53 Hokie Gajan 2 pass from Richard Todd (Morten Andersen Kick) 7 0 ★ Cle 11:47 Ozzie Newsome 5 pass from Paul McDonald (Matt Bahr Kick) 7 7 NO 15:00 FG Morten Andersen 26 10 7 3rd Quarter NO Cle ★ Cle 8:38 Ozzie Newsome 6 pass from Paul McDonald (Matt Bahr Kick) 10 14 4th Quarter NO Cle NO 11:55 FG Morten Andersen 21 13 14 NO 15:00 FG Morten Andersen 53 16 14 Todd led the way for the Saints, completing 21-of-27 passes for 294 yards with one touchdown, while Gajan rushed for 52 yards on seven carries, and Tyrone Young accumulated 101 receiving yards on four catches.
In a losing cause for the Browns, McDonald threw for 193 yards, while Boyce Green rushed for 74 yards on 23 carries.
New Orleans went on to finish 1984 with a 7-9 record, while Cleveland went 5-11.
..... edit add .....Oh and the game ..... The Saints, with under 2:00 to go, got the football, and drove down to the Cleveland 35-yard line, setting up Andersen for a long 53-yard field goal attempt, which he nailed as time expired, his third field goal of the afternoon, giving them a dramatic 16-14 road victory.Sep 9, 2014. * and I was 19 days from 34th birthday junior.
** I do remember blowing my cigar smoke down on some 8 +/- year old puny kid during that game though .

I just remember how enormous Cleveland Stadium looked, and in the early 80s, how absolutely scary Cleveland was. I vividly remember all the empty old factories that lined 77 going up to downtown, all long gone now. Cleveland is a far nicer place to visit now than it was when I was a kid, for sure.

We are now Hall of Famer Len Ford days from the start of the 2023 Browns season. Ford was a 6'5, 260lb DE from TTUN, and was named to the NFL's All-1950s team as one of the two DEs.
-
We are now five time Pro-Bowler Bob Gain days from the start of the 2023 Browns season. Gain was a top-notch Defensive Tackle for the Browns for 12 seasons (1952, 1954-64). With the Browns, he won three NFL Championships.

We are now Carl "Big Daddy" Hairston days away from the start of the 2023 Browns season. Hairston came from the Philadelphia Eagles in 1984 at the ripe age of 32, and still was able to play six season from the Browns. Of his 96 career sacks, 37.5 came from '84-89 with the Browns.

★ And coming up next is one of the greatest OL ever who chose to wear the number 77 for the Cleveland BROWNS.
︎ After that there are a few all time great players who should "share" the number 76. What do you think ?
︎~︎~︎~︎~︎~︎~︎~> ? <~︎~︎~︎~︎~︎~︎~︎
77. DICK SCHAFRATH, LT Years: 1960-71.
Others: Lyle Alzado, DL (1979-81); Ross Verba, OL (2001-04); Kevin Shaffer, OL (2006-08); John Greco, OL (2011-16).Many argue that Schafrath should be in the Hall of Fame. A second-round pick in 1959, he wore No. 80 for one season before switching to 77 and becoming a six-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro.
He started 158 of 164 games after his rookie year, connecting Groza’s tenure at left tackle to Doug Dieken as one of three players to regularly play the position from 1946 to 1984.
SEE BELOW | <--- the "old time" program picture of #77 Dick Schafrath.

And we are now Lou "The Toe" Groza days away from the start of the 2023 Browns season. Groza, the son of a Romanian father and Hungarian mother, grew up on the Ohio River in Martin's Ferry, Ohio. He played at Ohio State until he joined the Army, and served in the Pacific Theater, including one of the most brutal battles of WWII - Okinawa. Groza would play with the Browns from 1946-67, sitting out the 1960 season. From '46-59, he also played Left Tackle while handling the place-kicking duties. (I know there's another famous #76 for the Browns, but figured we can use him for his other jersey number ......
..... *edit add .... that would be the other #76/ #36 jersey in 1952-1953 and 10 total games started, OK by me.)
