Welcome to my first ever blog. This blog will be all about the Cleveland Browns and how completely and unbelievably inept the franchise has become. I started this thing not because I hate the Browns, but because I love the Browns! Hell,my DNA strands are orange with white and brown stripes. I just think we fans deserve much better. Like many fans I inherited this passion from my Dad. He grew up on the Browns and imparted to me the proud history of the team. Paul Brown, Jim Brown, Otto Graham. They were the New York Yankees of the NFL, the model franchise. Fast forward 45 years later and what happened? They are now the laughing stock of the league and arguably the worst franchise in the NFL. Matt Taibbi of the Rolling Stone thinks so. Matt usually warns us of the greedy bastards on Wall Street or the war pigs that get us into all kinds of trouble around the world. But in the current issue of Rolling Stone he felt compelled to deviate from his usual geopolitical themes to let the world know that Coach Eric Mangini has taken our beloved Brownies to new depths. Rock on Matt!
At first, I tried venting my frustrations by writing letters to Randy Lerner. I have written three. He never wrote back. I cannot believe it! That one-way correspondence was not cathartic at all for me. My hope with this blog is that we Browns fans can create a loud enough voice to be heard. We can tell Lerner and Mangini and whoever else screws up the Browns that we are mad as hell and we are not going to take it anymore! I will post after every game and any other time Browns news is made. Hopefully I will occassionally have something positive to comment on. So go Browns! Beat the Packers! Or at least keep the Green Bay offense to under 500 yards.
