"Play like a Brown"

Personally, when I first heard "Play like a Brown", I admit I rolled my eyes.

 

But I was recently thinking about George Allen becoming coach of the Redskins and the "Over the Hill Gang".

The grizzled vets recalled that at the end of the first day of training camp Allen suddenly shouted "Lets hear

3 cheers for the Redskins! Hip, hip...", and the vets looked at one another going What.The.Fuck.

Fast forward to the end of the season, the Skins had just rolled the Cowboys in the playoffs 24-3, and the famous

NFL Films video of Allen jumping up and down, clapping his hands, leading the celebration in the locker room. Allen

suddenly shouted, "Let's hear 3 cheers for the Redskins!! Hip, hip.." and the grizzled vets all responded with an

ear-splitting HOORAY!.

 

The point is, yeah, it sounds pretty corny to a bunch of professional athletes, generating major eye rolls.

But if the players buy into it, then amazing things can happen. It's about changing the culture of losing, hell,

the expectation that we're going to lose. Again. Break off the rear view mirror. What's behind us doesn't matter.

so this slogan thing isn't just some PR move........

I have a few things to say about that:

 

I've Fallen and I can't get up.

A Mind is a Terrible thing to waste

Plop Plop Fizz Fizz

Good to the Last Drop

Breakfast of Champions

Where's the Beef

It melts in your mouth, not in your hand

Gimme a break, gimme a break

The Best Part of Waking up

Don't Leave home without it.

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't

Don't Mess with Texas

Virginia is for Lovers

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas

The San Francisco Treat

It keeps going and going and going

Pardon Me, do you have any Grey Poupon?

Be Like Mike

Got Milk

I coulda had a V-8

Hooray Beer

Just Do It

Stronger than Dirt

Porsche, there is no substitute

Let Your Fingers do the walking

I'm Lovin it.

Have it Your way

Finger Lickin' Good

Reach Out and Touch Someone

Fly the Friendly Skies

Share Moments, Share Life

The Happiest Place on Earth

Its GGGGREAT

What's in your wallet

The Best a man can get

Can you hear me now?

When you absolutely positively have to have it overnight

Like a Good Neighbor

American by Birth, Rebel by Choice

What can the fucking Browns do for you?

Deliver.

Old timey redneck hillbilly sayings.

  • Don’t take any wooden nickels

I’ll give you something to cry about

I’m gonna knock you into next week

I’ve already forgot more than you know

Grab a cold tater and wait

Burnt food makes you pretty

If you eat that your hair will turn red.

It’ll cure what ails ya

Oh really Dick Tracy

Oh really Chic Tracy

You don’t say

L – I – B Dang

Drunker than Cooter Brown (I never figured out who Cooter Brown is)

More than livers got pills

Ain't that a hoot

Longer than a witches dream

Colder than a well diggers bum

Hotter than a fire cracker

Bold as brass

Don’t squat with your spurs on,

dumb as a post,

doesn't have a pot to pee in,

this is a two biscuit day,

when your nose itches, someone's coming to see you with a hole in their britches,

that's where Tony throwed the mule,

Katie bar the door,

he's like a blister--doesn't show up until after the work is done,

tighter than Dick's hatband,

like talking to a fence post (or stump),

like searching for hen's teeth,

he's so dumb, if you moved his plate five inches to the left he would starve to death,

Fuller than a tick on a dogs ear.

Runnin around like a chicken with its head cut off.

Hotter than a two dollar pistol.

Sweatin like a whore in church.

The door swings both ways

Are you shining me or Stop Shining me

You’re a sight for sore eyes

He's a young shaver

Knee high to a grass hopper

Look what the cat dun went and drug in

ya come up yonder, we fix ya some vittles.

you youngins getting on my last nerve.

we got somein good to eat.

that there girl yonder.

The most important Michigan Man ever....the guy that invented the phrase, was a Buckeye. Of course you knew that..

Yes, you feel the need to remind me every time we have a back and forth, even if it is completely unrelated....

 

As if it means anything...

It means he was a Buckeye born and bred. He only went to Michigan for the money.

 

Its OK though....not 10 minutes ago when I popped into the bank I ran into a friend of mine who is the father of another Barberton boy who went to Michigan to play football. RB Larry Ricks. Remember him?

I have not read through the 8 pages of this thread (just the first and last two) but I get the feeling that some might be misintrepting the Play like a Brown concept. The idea is not tradition-based as in "play like the Browns are known for playing" but it's asking the players to dedicate themselves to a set of defined values (Accountable, relentless, productive, passionate, tough and competitive).

 

Those are the company's values and decision making should favor players who adopt or personify them. It's common in corporations for company values to be communicated to all employees. Play like a Brown is merely a football equivalent.

Right, because every head coach tells their team to play like a brown.

And how can "y'all" leave out the most important 3 words in Texanese, "We're (or I'M) fixin' to......." For example, We're fixin' to ride this Browns slogan all the way to the Superbowl" or "Saddle 'em up boys we're fixin' to smoke these mf'ers." :lol:

 

 

PS-I also like "Colder than a witches tit." :P

I could see Tomlin telling his team to play like a Pittsburgh Steeler...maintaining that tenacious, hard hitting tradition, from James Harrison, Polamalu, and Hines Ward, back to Gregg Lloyd and Rod Woodson, back to Mean Joe Greene and Jack Lambert.

 

To say "play like a brown" sounds kind of empty, there are no players linking these browns to the 1950's....especially being whatever link that may have existed was broken in 1995.
