Hello to everyone,
Born and raised in Akron area, now live in Florida. Browns fan from birth and DNA. I am the type that only roots for Cleveland (hometown teams) or nothing.
Have spent 42 years now waiting for a team to come together and give us real pride! So many years of "maybe next year" or "they building the team."
I was in the Marines when Art took them away from us and remember the exact spot of ground I was standing on when my parents called and told me the news. It really was the same situation as first space shuttle accident, birth of my daughter, 911. It was on that level, as far as memory! I am not comparing each, just the fact it makes such a deep impact on you that you take a mental photo of where you were at that moment when you first heard the news.
Anyhow, I am truly excited about this team we have now and can not stop myself from thinking about it. I , like many, am hesitant about putting in full faith after so many years of no fruit. But think we really got something this time!
Go Browns!!
PS: Thought I was going to get beaten down on Thursday game with Cincy. Was in the middle of a pack of Cincy fans and was yelling non-stop. Was awesome!! I walked in thinking we would lose, but the Browns rattled Dalton from the start.
