Posted in Being a Browns fan is a rough lifestyle and could possibly lead many of us to anger management classes. Before you get angry, take a deep breath and form a top 10 “what Browns fans are saying” list. I did it and feel much better about our situation now. 1. There’s always next year. 2. [...]

Week 1 is a Browns Loss
If today was a one half game, the Browns would have won it. They outplayed the Vikings in the first half. The biggest problem I saw was the play calling.

Tale of Two Halves: 13-10 Halftime Leads Turns Into Eventual 34-20 Setback
What happened? At halftime the Browns looked like a team playing inspired.

Bob Costas: “Hello again, this is your host Bob Costas and welcome back to the Best Damn Browns Preview. Since your probably banging your head into the wall after hearing me pontificate for thirty years, let’s send it straight down to Malcolm.” Defense: I feel like Romeo and Mel Tucker used to send out the [...]

The offensive captains are Joe Thomas and Jamal Lewis. The defensive captains are D’Qwell Jackson and Eric Barton, and the special teams captains are Joshua Cribbs [...]
The Best Damn Browns Preview Part I
Let’s start with a disclaimer. Browns Rant will NOT make any predictions of any kind in terms of record. Any smart football fan knows that it’s arbitrary and involves too many variables. Consequently, even if one makes a good prediction it’s usually due to some factor that one never considered or was dismissed as irrelevant [...]
