I have been a Cleveland Browns Fan for as long as I can remember. As a 4 year old I remember Crying after Ernest Byner fumbled at the one in the 87 AFC Championship game. I remember having chest and stomach pains during football season and during Browns games. I remember being upset in 1995 when Art Modell picked up and moved them in the middle of the season. I remember being gassed when they returned in 1999 having a 99 Browns jersey. Thinking Tim Couch was gonna lead them to the promise land. Then reality struck now here we are 10 years 5 Head Coaches 4 General Managers 13 Starting Quarterbacks later and they STILL suck. I ask myself everyday why am I rooting for this team year in and year out? Why am I living and dying on a team who palys like garbage. I was a die hard fan of the Browns until today. They traded their best offensive threat out of town.
Kellen Winslow Jr was my favorite Cleveland Brown. Why you ask? not because I was on the Cover of the Plain Dealer with him on July 26 2006 laughing (although that is part of it). He was a warrior, a gladiator a soldier on the football field. Yeah his attitude was shitty but that how the Miami Hurricanes get down. The have attitude that they rule the world and the NFL and who could argue with that? They have a top player at damn near every position on the field. Ed Reed is the best defensive PLAYER in the NFL Ray Lewis altohgh up there in age is STILL feared by everyone. I could go on but you all have eyes and can see that the NFL is littered with players from The U. Back to my point K2 was productive in his time as a Brown, he actually WANTED to play in Cleveland. Who actually wants to play and live in this city anymore? He was one of the few who wanted to be here. He was productive if he was healthy or not. 219 catches 2,4589 yards and 11TDs is great for a guy who played the way he did.
I blogged a few months ago that K2 would not be in Cleveland in 09. I believed it but i didn't believe it and now that it has happened I'm pissed off. Look at what he's been through. The hold out in his rookie year, him breaking his leg covering an onside kick (thanks Butch), the motorcycle crash (thanks Star Boys), the staph infections (thanks Cleveland Clinic, Phil Savage, and the dude who sent him the text telling him to cover it up) that occured on more than one occasion. I really hope he goes on to have a Hall Of Fame career so dumb ass Browns fans can say "why did they trade him?" those are the ones today saying "good i hated him anyway". The Browns and Bucs play in 2011 in Tampa and I HOPE K2 is healthy and he has the game of his career against the Browns.
Right now me and the Browns are separated. (shout out to Tony Rizzo) I'm actuall thinking about finding a new team to root for. I am like 10 seconds away from filing for fan free agency. Why should I sink myself in this team again? With the ManGENIUS and Kokiena running the show. So I'm gonna approach this like I don't care. I Now announce myself just a casual NFL fan. For now. I'm not jumping off the bandwagon but I have one foot on and one foot off. I'm just soooooooo upset right now that i don't know what else to do.
