[PlaygroundLegend]

Playgroundlegend here, most people refer to me as PGL, I post mostly in bursts and droughts because I work so much. My favorite topics are wide receivers, Quartebacks, Safeties, The Draft, and pretty much anything browns.

Im 21 years old, and I go to the University of Akron studying International Business with a minor in Environmental Studies, Im currently an office operations supervisor and a hardcore Browns fan.

Im known for long winded, highly emotional posts (I kinda get into it a bit too much sometimes) but theres nothing I love more than me some BROWNS!

[NDneighbor]

Another Steve here. In my midforties.

Literally 5 minutes from ND. It really is a sight to see during the season.



For those of you close to the campus of theOSU, you know how the local culture becomes

a part of you after a while. It's no different here. I"m a Quinn fan . . . but damn, talk about

mishandling and squandered opportunities. Still wishing him well . . . with regrets.

I'm a product engineer for a company in Elkhart, IN. Typical tough economy story. Working

32 hours a week. Usually. . . .and grateful for that.

My past goes back to South Canton, OH. Grew up on Belden Ave. Used to go to the HOF

parade every year with the family. Browns fan as far back as I can remember.

I was still in high school during the Kardiac Kids. It took me a while to come back after the

return. I knew what an absence of continuity spells for an organization. I remembered

what the Bucaneers and Seahawks looked like in '77. I became a fan again just before

Romeo arrived.

Still single and no kids.

Mishandling and squandered opportunities have caused regrets there too.

Tom

46 years old.

Joined the message board to overcome extreme bouts of shyness

Married to Anita Beer. Just kidding, her name is Lindsay and she's been an absolute blessing for the last 19 years of my life.

Biggest accomplishment in life? Received a plaque from Lindsay that reads: "We interrupt this marriage to bring you football season."

Currently working in the medical field in the Nashville area.

The way I became a Browns fan might be a little different than many. My family never resided in Cleveland or Ohio. I grew up in Fairport, NY - which is a suburb of Rochester (only 60 miles from Buffalo). Believe it or not, while Western NY was loaded with Buffalo Bills fans - it also had a HUGE collection Cleveland Browns fans. One of those was my dad so I never had a say in this thing. Our version of Sunday school was watching Leroy Kelly and hearing Jimmy Brown was even better. If that didn't totally sell me - the pumpkin colored helmets and watching Greg Pruitt run past opponents or through tear away jerseys took care of the rest. My dad drove me and my older brother 4.5 hours to 1 game in Cleveland every season. We actually attended the game where Turkey Jones powerslammed Bradshaw as backup QB David Mays led the Browns to victory that day. We also saw the Denver game when someone threw batteries on the field. To give you an idea of just how popular the Browns were in the Rochester area - it had 3 different Browns Backers groups active when I moved to TN in 06.
