Well this bastard stepchild of ours had better not be a loser for the next ten years.

Serious question.

the brown out is honestly one of the greatest ideas ever. we need to get the message across and the only better way to do this is to not but the tickets at all. let's show america our frustration guys. randy, choke on a fatty.
I think not.
The message we sent was how we wanted to keep our team.
Now a few misguided whiners are talking about standing in the walkways.
Go for it. I personally think it makes us look like wimps who don't want the team unless it wins..

I beg to differ, I think it shows the fans wont tolerate one good season every 3-4 years (2002, 2007...) its a trend where w make a wild care or barley miss the playoffs and then suck for another few years. It needs to stop and Lerner needs to appoint someone here who knows American football or he needs to sell the team. I understand honoring his father's legacy, its sorta ridiculous how the team is managed from a standpoint of ownership. This isnt Aston Villa where an hands-off owner is what a team needs. Im not saying I want him to be like Jerry Jones, maybe more like Bud Adams, but come on. ACT like you care and dont only respond to the obvious tumoil when we threaten a brown out. Im in Knoxville but I hope yall do it. Ill be watching on TV
Check me out on Bleacher Report: 1st article, Still learning here. First Article -
I think the brown out is a great idea.. maybe some public humitilation will wake Learner up to the reality of what an embarassment the team is to all of us who LOVE this team.. and show everyone what happens when you have an owner like him who is just trying to turn a buck instead of someone who loves the team.. Jerry Jones is a jerk..but he loves the cowboys.. I'd take that kind of passion and committment any day.

What's the answer Peen?
Seriously.
Am I just to sit in my seat and give a little golf clap ,as ownership trots out a completely inferior product ?
You said yourself after the Mangini hire ,that ownership needs to get it right this time, or move on,no more 3 year plans
I realize a total rebuild doesn't happen overnite, but dammit, fans should at least see an NFL competitive team on Sundays
this team is not.

Beg all you want.
I think it would be better for those people to not come at all....it would smell better.
We have a society of whiners...and this is big time whining...bandwagon stuff.
You don't want to go....fine..don't go...but this is chickenshit stuff here.
Me...I have season tickets and drive up from Chattanooga 5 times a year.
My butt is in my seat 30 minutes before kick-off.

You asked a serious question.
I don't have the answer...
We haven't won a damn thing since 1964 when I was a teenager...if anyone should be pissed, it's me and other fans like me...and i am....but making Browns fans look like wimps ISN'T the answer.

could you imagine Rooney or Modell writing a letter like this to the public? this shows he is lost and hasn't a clue.
Browns football should be a reality tv show where fans can come in and coach . Good god, an NFL owner telling everyone he is trying after they threaten to boycott him and cost him money for being a 10 year jackass of a failure.
''What I can say is that we, and I, have remained open to new and fresh ideas and thinking and people with passion for the Browns and football experience getting involved and with hope and luck and support, making a difference.
Was he drunk when he wrote this incoherent sentence? Lerner's philosophy is cross your fingers, click your heels three times, and find a four leaf clover before every game and the browns will do fine..

Demanding you get your money's worth is whining?
This is no different than buying a car that's a peace of crap
Being served food that's not what you ordered
I say BS , you let it be known your not happy with the current product
And it was a serious question, How ?
Don't show up ? Wear a bag over your head ? Carry a sign,hoping the camera finds you?
I think 30,000 empty seats at kickoff sends a message loud and clear
I don't see this protest as an embarrassment at all ,It's my way of letting the rest of the nation
know that Browns fans are tired of getting chopped liver, when we payed for sirloin
-
I will be in my seats for kick off and if one of these "fans" seriously tries to stop me I will be pissed
-
I'm on the fence about this. First is that it show yes we are frustrated ,but it in my opinion even thought we are doing bad we still have to show why we are browns fans

Its the first half of a rebuilding year WTF do people expect. We have 2 1st round draft picks of ours on offense, and there both playing o-line. And 1 on defense When are we gonna learn to stick bye a guy through ups and downs.
You dont call for a coach's head half through his first year, an obvious rebuilding year at that, and you dont boo 24 yr. old QB's off the field when they get hurt. We have a fixation in Cleveland with the next coach and the next qb. Instead of forcing ownership to make fan friendly moves, try standing bye your team for once and let them build a winner.

Yeah I totally agree with this yes are team is terrible but most of this team was from Romeo and some of the players were drama queens. Yeah so what if they were are stars on the team most drama queens reck a team. We Cannot say fire him if we have yet to know what he will do.
If I'm correct the last team that did that was the Raiders with Art Shell

Thanks for the email Randy. He could have just sent a tweet or a facebook post, but he spent the time to draft an email, that shows some serious dedication to the franchise.
On the "Brown Out." I think it is a complicated issue. If it was another team with fairweather fans, we would be calling them whiny bitches. But this is the Browns and we are long-suffering fans. These aren't wounds that happened overnight. This is RR88, The Drive, The Fumble, and losing our team just to see it win a Superbowl in another city. We are fans that keep this franchise one of the most profitable in the league despite year after year of abysmal play. We line Lerner's pockets with dollars because of our loyalty, and at some point I think it is fair to ask for something back. Hell, we aren't asking for Superbowl rings, we're asking for a team that can score a goddamn touchdown and not be laughingstocks of the league. We cheer for a losing team that makes mistake after mistake every year while watching our division rival win 6 Superbowls and evolve into one of the most rock solid teams in the league. Will standing in the concourse for the opening kickoff make a difference? Probably not, but it may show that even the most amazing fans in the NFL have a breaking point.

most seats at CBS are empty in the 4th Q.
you can't call yourselves great fans when you leave before the Browns get a first down.

eat shit...you no better than me...pompous assGreat post.
I thought you left this board??
At any rate, I find it funny how people who aren't a part of games tell people how they should act.
And by the way, the stadium is empty at the end of games. You don't think that sends a message?
