Good morning folks,
I hope your weekend ended better than mine. It didn't take long for my first place Browns to start looking like the same old Browns. It was a bit disappointing but one of the positive things that comes from being a die-hard Browns fan is it teaches you at a young age to learn to deal with disappointment and move forward! LOL
