PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE THING

By STEVE KING

From the very start of Browns Daily Dose on Aug. 6, 2015, I’ve advertised this website as the place where you, as Browns fans, will get something – be able to read something – that you will get nowhere – absolutely nowhere! – else.

And if the subject matter is the same as that which is being presented elsewhere, it will be digested here differently – very, very differently.

If this site gives you nothing else – and I sincerely hope that is not the case, as I want it to, again as advertised, make you think, laugh, smile, shake your head and/or find it interesting, giving you something to chew on, rather than your meals, as you go through your day  — it will give you that.

Of all that I can promise you.

Keep that thought in mind.

Now let’s go to the Browns, the team that, of course, drives this site. It is your team, or else you wouldn’t be here.

It is my team, too. It has been for as far back as I can remember, and that is now inching over 60 years.

As an aside, how did that happen?

But I digress. I need to stay on topic.

Your team, the one you root for with every fiber of your being, and the one I do as well, along with having written about it in the most honest and objective way, and sometimes a little subjectively, to be sure, for 43 years if you go all the way back to the very beginning for me, is having struggles. Again, but in a different manner this time. The Browns, heading into this season, were ballyhooed as the next big thing in the NFL. It hasn’t quite worked out that way.

They are 2-5, with three losses in a row, as they head to Denver to face the Broncos late Sunday afternoon/early evening at Broncos Stadium at Mile High. If they don’t win this one – the Broncos, for one of the few seasons since their present general manager, John Elway, played quarterback for them (you may have heard of him and remember some of those times, unfortunately), are having a horrible, miserable season, as evidenced by their 2-6 record and a dearth of talent, especially at quarterback – then the Browns could be headed for a more rotten finish than has been their season thus far.

Ugh.

I know, I know, you are all asking, “We know this, chapter and verse, already, so what is your point here, young man?”

For starters, you get some mega-brownie (good name, huh?) points for the “young man” stuff.

But for the answer to your question, you’ll have to come back for my next post.

No bait and switch here. I promise it will be worth the effort.

See ya then.
