Grew up on the east side of Cleveland in the 70's and I've followed the Browns ever since. A happily retired professional stand-up of 24 years, I take Cleveland football seriously, but if you've been a Browns fan as long as I have you know sometimes you just have to laugh. And other times it's best just to talk Browns football.
