I know this is a little bit weird but if you are a regular poster I would like you to comment and say how old you are. It helps me to know your age so I can understand your perspective, thought process, and history following the team. Thanks

 

 

And just how old are you?

I'll just say my first football memory is "The Greatest Game ever played" The 1958 Giant's- Colts Championship. Unfortunately not old enough to ever remember seeing Otto Graham play.

 

I just hope I'll live long enough to see the Browns win a Super Bowl before I croak- 1964 was a long time ago.

43. Fan since 1988. First saw them play in 1989 in London, England which is where I am from. I reckon given my lifestyle and the morons I hang out with from this board that take at least a year off my life every season, I will be around for another 30 years - that's 3 Superbowls I am going to watch with the Browns in and guess what - we win all of them. Happy days.

As a baby boomer. I'm old enough to remember lying on my belly in the living room while I watched the Browns on a black and white tv that carried only three channels. I watched the "Heidi" game and was outraged!! And I remember my dad going to the 1964 championship when a friend called him at the last minute with a spare ticket. Generally I'm in Hoorta's age bracket and when forms ask for my age I click the last available box. "Older than dirt" doesn't quite apply, but I'm well on my way. Oh... and the links under my signature pertain to my sons.

i listened to the '64 Championship game on the radio- beginning to end. The late great Ken Coleman was the play-by-play broadcaster. My favorite players back then were Walter Johnson and Jim Houston. i'm 55, but i don't feel a day over 60.

 

I actually think I may be the oldest poster on the board. I know I've got you beat!

Not a regular poster--check the board several times a day. 51 in May. One of my earliest memories is of my mom being mad at my dad, who, although not much of a drinker, came home from the corner bar drunk as a lord. That was the '64 championship. My first real Browns memory is when I was 6. I had the measles and a temperature of 105. My mom dialed up a Browns game on a transistor radio and put it on my pillow. I think they were playing Dallas and won 55-0. I may be full of shit--with a temp of 105 I was probably delirious.

42.5 Too young to have witnessed the Glory. I've been a Browns fan since I was watching a game one day around age 5-6 and I said I like that team whoever they were and my dad said "no you don't. We root for the team with the orange helmets" Thanks Dad!!! Should have went with the Steelers like the rest of my W. PA family.

I am 60. Old enough to have grown up in the era when you took it for granted that the Browns would be in the playoffs. From age 12-22 the Browns made playoffs in 1964, '65, 67,68,69,71, 72... Seven times in a 9 year period. In the 38 years since they have only been there 9 times.
