And, don't get me started on the Indians!

"When I was a boy, my grandmother had one of the first television sets in the area. In 1948 I turned it on one Sunday afternoon and found some guys playing a game. I had never seen a ball that wasn't round and what the hell was second and six? It turned out I was watching Otto Graham, Marion Motley, Lou the Toe, Dante Lavelli, Mac Speedie and THE Cleveland Browns.

Things were wonderful until Art Modell, who fired the best coach in history, and the best running back in history in about twenty minutes. I was happy with the 1964 Championship which was won with Paul Brown's team, but then it was thirty four years of .500 football interspersed with a couple of teams that John Elway put to rest.

Lately,it has been ten years of .350 football and a team that lays itself to rest. What's the difference between Art Modell and Randy Lerner? Art Modell left. Randy Lerner won't.

It has been forty five years of meaningless football and I'm a little tired of it."

By the way, nice touch by that opportunist schmuck Randall. The guy actually had the balls to ask Lerner to give him a job in the PR department. Man oh man, what a massive putz. And this time I'm not even talking about Lerner.

By the way, if Randall's novel ingenius idea to really, really excite the folks is to bring back the Michael Stanley Band, then may I also suggest they bring back The Ghoul. He could blow up Froggy at halftime. And maybe bring back Gib Shanley to announce the games full-time. Who cares if Shanley is dead. Obviously, this Randall dufus has the smarts to get around this meaningless death thing. Dead? Irrelevant.

Michael Stanley Band? Bernie Kosar? If the Browns first problem is management, the second problem is fans trying to relive the past. It is not 1985. How many Bellicheck underlings have we wasted our energy on trying to relive the past? Now we have his ball boy. Bernie has done nothing but lead his own life to bankruptcy. God bless him and help him out, but hardly a role model for success!

You've lost 10 years of young fans, start modernizing the team and the image of football in Cleveland and live for the future. New music, new logos mixed with some 50s retro (like the Indians have done), and a new plan for the future. Build a smash mouth defensive team and stop looking for a QB to keep delivering bombs. That is how the Patriots started their current run, and the Ravens and the Steelers and now the Broncos and Bengals — Defense first, everything else falls in place later.

Schottenheimer – Head coach. VP of player personnel.

Kosar – Offensive Coordinator.

Rob Ryan – Defensive Coordinator, as long as he accepts responsibility and stops telling fans to blindly support a team and it's management who have been failures for the past 10 years.

I too sent fax after fax in the mid '90s in support of the Browns returning to Cleveland. I was active with Detroit's Backers club, The Motor City Maniacs. I spent hours upon hours trying to support Cleveland's NFL football team (or establishment of same).

All we've seen since '99 has been a yearly dose of "We're looking good and making progress as compared to earlier attempts". Boy! If that doesn't sound like those current PC/MAC commercials, I don't know what does! "We have fixed all of those problems from the last version… trust me." Uh, no. We don't trust you. You failed to hire Cowher. You failed to hire Schottenheimer.

Would the fans be up in arms if the current coach's name was Cowher or Schottenheimer? I doubt it.

Fix it.

Are they still supporting a Brown out or are we giving Lerner a second chance???
