“The Name on the Door is Cleveland”

What does it mean? The Cleveland Browns Official website tells of the long path back towards a credible NFL Football team:

DT Shaun Rogers makes a statement everytime he comes through the door

“We started trying to put a statement together and emphasize that we were working to do great things on the field and off the field, that there was kind of an ultimate goal out there.”

Savage believed he had plenty of willing people. He thought they wanted something to buy into, something to rally around and share with the community.

At some point during the conversation, Lerner uttered the phrase: “The name on the door is Cleveland.”

That, Savage thought, was something.

So now, more than two years after Savage handed out credit-card sized cards with the phrase and a mission statement printed on the front to every Browns employee in an organization-wide meeting, the name on the door is branching out to the city it’s named for.

Its just for a winning theme, and with names like Cribbs, Thomas, Lewis, Wimbley, Anderson, Edwards, Jones, Winslow, McDonald, Steinbach and Tucker, the Brownies are loaded long term AND Cleveland is far from a QB controversy. Both these guys are good.

Not every pass has been on the money. Not every practice has been crisp. But those things happen during camp. Derek Anderson is noticeably bigger and more confident, and a DA with a little swagger might be a dangerous thing. Brady Quinn is grasping the offense and though he doesn’t throw the deep ball as well as Anderson, he’s thrown some beauties down the seam and to the sideline. During one drill on Sunday, chants from the overflow crowd of “DA! DA!” and “Brady, Brady” didn’t seem to faze the targeted parties. So Ken Dorsey threw one on the money and gave the crowd a playful fist pump. Sure enough, the chants of “Dorsey, Dorsey” followed soon after. This is Cleveland. We love football, quarterbacks and chants. Lots and lots of chants.

Im just excited for football season in general, but when your team wins its so much more fun. Except Browns fans are so much more than that… LETS GO CLEVELAND!
