Cleveland fans are an interesting lot. We are fiercely loyal and completely unforgiving at the same time. If a team and/or coach gives us something to believe in, we'll latch onto them and elevate them to God-like status. Spit in our face or talk down to us, you have no ...Published on: 26th September, 2009
Most Cleveland fans are looking forward to this game like most people look forward to a trip to the dentist. After reading various other preview articles and running down the rosters, I see no point in doing any kind of typical matchup or "Here's what we need to do to win." The ...Published on: 23rd September, 2009
You know where this is going, and it won't end well. Being a Cleveland Browns fan since 1965 means you are a glutton for punishment and you enjoy having your hopes and dreams crushed into ashes.

Coming out of the pivotal third week of preseason, it’s plain to me that our quarterback situation in Cleveland is only as important as you want it to be. If you think having the starting quarterback named yesterday, then this team is in huge trouble. If you’re like me and believe ...Published on: 31st August, 2009
Browns fans have something they haven’t had in a long time—hope. In the dress rehearsal game before next week’s scrubfest, the Browns came out and took it to the Titans, beating them 23-17 in a game where the starters played well into the third quarter. If there is anything the fan base ...
