Die Hard Browns Fan: Taco
It's back! The always-popular Interview with a Die Hard Browns Fan feature is back and better than ever.
For this installment, I talked with a coworker of mine. His name is Taco (he's the one on the left) and he's a tried and true Browns fan. In fact, he's been featured on 19 Action News for a story they did about how Mondays after a Browns loss are depressing.
Taco is a Willoughby...

The Defense is Not Bad
“What,” you say, “Are you crazy?” No, I’m not crazy … I’m simply being objective. While I admit, the Browns defense still needs some big improvements, anyone who knows me reads “not bad” as pretty high praise.
Let me explain … for the 2011 season, the Cleveland Browns defense is ranked No. 10!!! Yes, you read that correctly … the Browns have a Top 10 defense...

Colt is Not the Problem (and neither is Shurmur)
Don’t be shocked by my posting two days in a row or it’ll dilute the message I’m trying to get across. As a follow-up to yesterday’s post, I’ve decided to delve a little further into my opinions on the Cleveland Browns.
First, and foremost, Colt McCoy is not the problem. I repeat, Colt McCoy is not the problem. Is Colt McCoy the long-term quarterback solution for the Browns...

What Did You Expect?
Obviously, I haven’t blogged much this year. I can make up a lot of excuses, but it doesn’t make any difference. It’s not that I’m a fair weather blogger, who only blogs when the Browns are playing well (if that was the case, The Blawg Pound would never have existed in the first place).
The truth is, I’ve simply been too busy and this isn’t at the top of my list of priorities...

Die Hard Browns Fan: Krissy
It's finally time for a female perspective in the Interview with a Die Hard Browns Fan feature (and yes, I know my cousin Jennifer was already featured).
This week, I talked to a former colleague of mine who eats, sleeps, breathes and drinks ... Cleveland Browns football.
Krissy is from North Olmsted, went to Kent State and has lived all around the Cleveland area.
She is a member...

Taking on the Titans
Enough reveling in the glory of beating the hapless Dolphins. The Titans are coming to town and if you think they’re impressed by the Browns 2-1 record, think again.
The Titans (2-1) barely lost in Week 1 to the Jaguars, 16-14, then bounced back in a big way to beat the Ravens in Week 2, 26-13.Read more »---

Beast of the Week vs. Dolphins
No one player had a really stand-out performance on Sunday, so I struggled to come up with a Beast of the Week. I’d love to say, “So and so had a great game and dominated from start to finish.”
The truth is, though, I simply cannot pinpoint anyone from Sunday’s ugly win against the Dolphins who fits that description.
That said, I came up with two players to share this title...

‘A’ for Effort Against Dolphins
It wasn’t a pretty win, but it was a win nonetheless. I think I can speak for Browns fans everywhere when I say, “I’ll take it.”
The Browns didn’t play great against the Dolphins, but it’s hard to give them a bad grade when they actually won.
They may not actually deserve an A, but I’m giving them one anyway. That may not make sense, especially after you read my individual...

One Drive Wins it All
After a poor performance all game long, time was running out yesterday for the Browns. Colt McCoy wasn’t ready to give up though. Since coming to Cleveland, the quarterback has had to get used to losing – something he rarely did at Texas.
Getting used to losing is one thing, accepting it is another. McCoy was not ready to accept a loss yesterday as long as there was still time...

Browns in First Place – What?!?!
After that devastating loss to the Bengals in Week 1, I’ll admit I lost my motivation to blog. I’ve also been fairly busy and, unfortunately, hanging out in the Blawg Pound isn’t my full-time job. So, with so much going on already, losing to the Bengals was a big blow.
It was rough that week following the loss to Cincy. I thought for sure we were in for another long season...

Who Dey in the Blawg Pound
The Battle of Ohio kicks off in two days and what better way to get things started than to talk a little trash with a Bengals fan?
OK, I'm not really gonna talk some trash ... instead, I'm giving a Bengals fan a chance to give us some insight on his beloved team. Back this season is the ever-popular Blogging with the Enemy.
Today, I've traded questions with Cincinnati Bengals blogger...

Die Hard Browns Fan: Brian
It's time again for everyone's favorite feature — Interview with a Die Hard Browns Fan. As I've said from the beginning when I started The Blawg Pound, Browns fans have opinions and they love to share them.
This week, I talked to an avid Blawg Pound reader and commenter. Even when he doesn't comment on posts, I can always count on getting a good opinion/analysis...

Bring on the Bungles
The Browns are back at work today, and so am I. After a couple of days off, the team is busy in Berea preparing for the Bengals.
The first game of the long-awaited NFL season kicks off this Sunday at 1 p.m. at Cleveland Browns Stadium. What some dub the Battle of Ohio can usually also be dubbed the Battle of the Basement for the AFC North.
The Bengals are an up and down team. They’re...

A Meaningless Recap
Now that the meaningless games, otherwise known as the NFL Preseason, are done, so I will be done with meaningless posts.
Nothing excites me more about the preseason than when it’s over!
But, before we “start with the good stuff,” we’d be remiss if we didn’t at least recap those four miserable excuses for entertainment. For efficiency purposes, I will combine my likes/dislikes...

Battle of Lake Erie
Bragging rights are on the line tonight on the only preseason game that has any kind of meaning. That’s right, the Lions come to town tonight for the annual Battle for Lake Erie against the Browns.Created several years ago as a way to create an annual “rivalry” between these two teams, the Battle of Lake Erie matches up two of the historically worst teams in the NFL each preseason...

A Sweatervest Would NOT Look Good in Orange
Big news out of Berea the other day. Huge news, I mean. Gigantic news! Are you ready? Can you handle this? Prepare yourself, because this could be the story of the year. Ready? Here it is: Jim Tressel visited Browns training camp.
OMG! Can you believe it? Obviously, this means he's about to be named the new head coach of the Cleveland Browns, who will go on to routinely beat up on...

The Forgotten Linebacker
The last time D’Qwell Jackson played a game, it was October 18, 2009. So, you can’t blame me for thinking, “Holy ****! He looks good … I forgot all about him!” when I saw him playing in Saturday’s preseason game.
OK, so I didn’t really forget about him, but I was surprised by him. Surprised at how good he looked against the Packers. I think this new defense and a great...

Best O-Line in NFL?
A lot was made Saturday during the pre-game show of the Cleveland Browns offensive line. It only took 13 years, but apparently our O-Line is among the best in the league. Way to go Browns!
As a former lineman myself, this is something I’ve always paid attention to. No one can doubt that Joe Thomas is as good as it gets at left tackle. And Alex Mack at center, I mean, the guy scored...

Rated M for Meaningless
So, the Browns extended their streak of beating the defending Super Bowl champs on Saturday when they trounced the Green Bay Packers in the first preseason game.
Now, I normally wouldn’t count this as anything official, since it was a preseason game, but since the Brownies do not face the Packers in the regular season this year, it’ll have to do. The streak has been extended...

Ready for Another Browns Re-Boot
Say what you will about the ridiculousness of the NFL Lockout, the fact of the matter is, it's finally over and it's time for some football!!!
Tonight, our Browns take on the defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers in their first preseason game.
Yes, these games are meaningless, but let's not forget the Browns have beaten the last three defending Super Bowl champions and...

The Lockout is Over!
I can't believe it! I just read the news that the NFL Lockout is finally over! By a vote of 31-0, the NFL owners have approved the revised collective bargaining agreement.
Finally, we can get to playing football!
Wait, what? You mean it's not really over? The players still have to vote on it and some are quoted as saying, "it's not a done deal yet."

With a lack of actual football going on, there's plenty of extra-curricular activities for players, coaches and even team presidents.
Now's you chance to join Mike Holmgren for the inaugural Cleveland Browns Motorcycle Rally on July 23, 2011.
The ride will begin at South East Harley-Davidson and end at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
