I have covered a bazillion Browns teams from1980 to now. some real clunkers where you wondered when the final game would ever come. And fans have suffered alot. But this year with obstacles weekly, these guys deliver. They are 8-3... Try to enjoy #Browns

You know what’s one of the coolest parts about the #Browns success . The nation is hearing a lot of Jimmy Donovan calls and they can hear how good he is . Just imagine all those years he did play by play for horrific teams.
