Brown Notes Podcast

The boys talk LeBron’s calculated playoff viewing habits, debate Guardian legitimacy, and struggle to adapt to the sober offseason banality of a competent Cleveland Browns organization.

The boys talk about the Cavs minuscule mental makeup, gasp at Guardian galloping guffaws, and enjoy a long awaited, super boring, by-the-numbers and perfectly fine Cleveland Browns draft.

The boys talk Cavs caving, baseball balking, and Deshaun Watson’s unequivocal endorsement of Kevin Stefanski as head coach of the Cleveland Browns. White face masks, too!

The boys move the team to Brook Park, suffer through another ill-fated Cleveland lakefront development pitch, and indulge in the holy trinity of awful sports talk topics — taxes, tickets, and stadium talk. Weeeee!

The boys absolutely do not discuss free agency, look for nefarious motives behind the addition of Mike Vrabel, and find football futility in the absence of a Deshaun Watson return to form.

The boys suffer a relapse of Flacco Fever, debate the need for elite wide receivers for elite QBs, and dig into a veritable cornucopia of Cleveland Browns and general NFL news.

The boys put a dome on banal stadium debate, examine cap cutting silly season social media anxiety, and ultimately find themselves right back where they were — wondering if Deshaun Watson will ever be Deshaun Watson for the Cleveland Browns.

The boys introduce myriad new Cleveland Browns coaches, ponder the plausibility of a potential power struggle in Berea, and lament the undeniable symptoms of oncoming G.O.A.T. fatigue in the wake of yet another Kansas City Chief Super Bowl appearance.

The boys recover from their postseason beat down in Houston, freak out over fairly typical offseason NFL banality, and pound shirtless beers with Jason Kelce.

The boys attempt to pry perspective from a poor playoff performance, beat back the post-wildcard Browns blahs, and square their own life expectancy against potential Browns Super Bowl appearances.

The boys play the backups backups in Cincinnati, get annoyed at continued Pittsburgh Steelers excellence, and prepare for a wildcard matchup against C.J. Stroud and the surprising Houston Texans.

The boys witness their beloved Browns clobber the Jets on Thursday night and benefit from playoff clarity courtesy of inevitable MVP, Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.

The boys drink plenty of fluids, eschew bed rest, and succumb to Flacco fever in the wake of yet another gaudy aerial explosion by Joe Flacco, Amari Cooper, and the playoff-bound Cleveland Browns against the Houston Texans.

The boys celebrate a sober Sunday before Victory Monday, temper expectations for playoff success, and witness a depleted Cleveland Browns roster gut out an unlikely win against da scrappy Chicago Bears.

The boys learn to live in the moment, fan without baggage, and simply enjoy the Cleveland Browns sound victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, playing in games that matter, and winning in the month of December.

The boys wrap up a disastrous trip out west, endure another anemic defensive effort, and maybe finally find a quarterback for the stretch run in a decisive loss to the surging Los Angeles Rams.

The boys inexplicably pass the ball a million times versus a poor Denver Broncos rush defense, suffer a rash of alarming injuries, and find themselves stuck out west — pinning their waning playoff hopes on a recently unemployed quarterback.

The boys look back fondly on Isiah Crowell’s celebratory end zone dump and bask in the afterglow of a methodical Cleveland Browns victory over the inexplicably, frustratingly, and annoyingly competitive Pittsburgh Steelers.

The boys tolerate another semi-inspirational Kevin Stefanski locker room reading of advanced analytics and beat the oblivious bastards who heartlessly celebrated when they stole our team with a stunning 33-31 victory over the poorly rebranded 1944-1995 Cleveland Browns.

The boys take care of business against the Arizona Cardinals, draw up an explosive offense in the dirt, and find themselves at the crossroads of 2023 season with back to back matchups against the dreaded Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The boys lose sleep in Seattle as they watch PJ Walker’s fairy tale win streak come to a predictable end and apologize to Deshaun Watson for lobbing bombs, egregious hot takes, and tin-foil hat fandom.

The boys steadfastly refuse to entertain a modicum of negativity, learn to embrace good fortune despite Deshaun Watson weirdness, and are befuddled by a bizarre Browns win against the Indianapolis Colts.

The boys apparently drop acid and hallucinate a wildly improbable short-handed Cleveland Browns victory against QB wunderkind Brock Purdy and the undefeated San Francisco 49ers.

The boys re-evaluate their own postgame evaluations, lose faith in Kevin Stefanski, and find the bye-week Cleveland Browns teetering on the precipice of another lost season.

The boys heroically shrug off another disappointing Sunday of Browns football, attempt to contextualize crappy play with proper perspective, and accept their inevitable fate as the Cleveland Deshaun Watsons.
