Sorry, Don, but your brown stains may join my bungles in the category of not winning a Super Bowl. Although the Bengals have at least been to a couple...

For someone as young as 30 (believe it or not you'll feel that way someday), I'm impressed by your list. This would be a great primer for anyone joining "Browns Nation!"

You may have to wait another 30 years for No. 30 to come true.

Some more items and happy birhtday:

31) Frank Ryan - my childhood idol who was also a Dr in mathematics which helped inspire me to work hard at math and now I'm an electrical engineer.

32) Jim Brown - you listed him already but since I had a 32 it had to be Jim Brown

33) Leroy Kelly - I use sometimes pretend I was Leroy when I was playing football with my buddies as a little kid in Berea. Especially when the weather was bad (Leroy Kelly was great at running in bad field conditions)

34) Remembering listening to the '64 championship on the radio with my Dad. It was a home game so was not televised.

35) The fact that in my formulative years they were always a strong contender.

36) My Dad telling me I needed to be loyal to them whether they won or loss.

37) Blanton Collier - one of the classiest men to coach at any level.

38) Bill Glass

39) the fact that my Mom worked at Henry M Barr's who was the team photographer and she could get flawed photos of the players for free. These photos lined my bedroom wall.

40) I love football and I'm from the Cleveland area so who else would I support?

What about Ozzie Newsome? And where's the Voice of Reason? I need someone to at least make me laugh about the abysmal state of the Browns that only seems to get worse every week.

@ Dave

Ozzie Newsome, to me, is a turncoat and I try to not acknowledge him. I know he was fanatstic with the Browns. But to jump ship with Modell really leaves a terrible taste in my mouth

Tim Manoa?

@ Dave,
sorry, I was inexcusably MIA on Wednesday. Regarding Ozzie, he forfeited his right to anything Browns related when he followed that weasel Modell to Baltimore. To paraphrase Ray Finkel's mom in Ace Ventura:
"That Ozzie Newsome should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell".

#31- my son born and raised in Dayton, Ohio is a die hard Browns fan!

1. Obvious...no cheerleaders. Who needs em?!?

2. The two 1,000 yd rushers in one season (1985 w/ Mack and Byner), something that wasn't replicated until last year.

3. The pleasure knowing that art Modell will never be in the Hall of Fame.

I live in Moscow, Russia, and I still tune in on Sunday night (we are +8 hrs ahead) to watch over the Internet. Nuts, huh?!?

JOHN ELWAY - LOSERS!

You aint old enough to even have an opinion.

All my Brownies Memories ended in 1995 when they became the Baltimore Browns
Screw Modell... Go Steelers!

"Bernie, Bernie" song

McDonald's MDP Sandwhich

1. Largest "fan club" in the history of sports.

2. Webster Slaughter down the sideline for a touchdown.

Rich traditions are created from present successes. Bottom line everything up there listed is old news. How many years are we going to rest on laurels from 1964?. I believe we do need a logo and it should be Brownie the Elf. It's time for new successes.

How are you guys going to bash Oz? His choice at the time was employment or unemployment. Come on. There's no way I can place his decision to go to work (even if it is for the ratbirds) on any kind of level with all he did for this team throughout his career. He is and always will be one of the greatest Browns.

Sam R. should be in here too.

GREG PRUITT'S TEAR AWAY JERSEYS!!!

You forgot Nev Chandler and Doug Dieken

What is sad is that all your reason but 2 or 3 happenned before your 2oth birthday and are long gone. With are luck we will finally win one and the nfl by then will be a world league and the new world bowl will be the yard stick and super bowls will be by the way side like nfl championships.

most of that list refers to a long dead franchise. the team currently masquerading as the browns deserves a list a hundred pages list slamming everything associated with this bogus franchise.

it's a disgrace to the former team that the current one wears the same uniform and claims the same history as the true browns.

How about the awesome collection of team songs from the 80s including Hooray for the Cleveland Browns, Bernie Bernie, the Bernie Shuffle, Return to Denver, and many more.

Another reason to love the Browns: Having relocated to a small town in Virginia, everyone has a Steelers or Cowboys jacket, but I'm the only one with a Browns jacket. When I do see someone wearing Browns clothing, there is an immediate bonding and sense of loyalty. It means something.

There aren't any bandwagon fans with this team, at least not on a national level.

Couldn't agree with you more Dank! These people on here bashing the Browns and saying we shouldn't have the history and we should change the uniforms are not true fans.

dude, find another hobby. you are close to the precipice. one good shove and you'll fall into the browns idiot zone....careful man, that's worse than hell!!!

Jim - who are you talking to?

Should would like to see Nev Chandler listed at #14. We usually would mute the TV and listen to the games.

I think Jimmy Donovan also deserves mention. Even Doug makes games fun to listen to.

Gib Shanley "Touchdown Browns!!"

and Bill Nelson who asked about a 50 yard pass replied "I didn't know I could throw it that far."

metcalf' against the bengals: boing, boing, and into the end zone.

The Quarterback Club hosted by Ken Coleman with highlights of the Browns' games...

And that great theme song.

"Ice Cube" McNeal returns another one for a TD!

Only real reason I need - they represent Cleveland.

The browns will be back, as long as the negative fans dont mess it up again with a (we need to rebuild AGAIN wine)
