Kiwibrown Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 To be on this site you have to love football, or at least have a love hate relationship with it. How did it start for you? For football it was watching the rams vs the titans superbowl, it was one of the first games I saw and it was fantastic. For the browns it was madden 1999 my bro and i would turn that team around. Then we would watch their highlights on sports centre. And their drafts, and then in recent years their games. I have missed 1 game in the last two years. The browns have been a team, that is like an abusive relationship, all take and no give. Hopefully it has turnt around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Liked it on and off since I got into sports but it was 2003 when I really got into it. Peyton Manning and the Colts where big reasons why I got into the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Ron Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) I've always enjoyed watching all sports, even watching Kabbadi on Channel 4 on a Saturday morning, but never really understood NFL. When my son was born in September 6 years ago I was doing the night feeds and the games were on. It got to a point where I couldn't wait to feed him at 1am so I could watch. I spent my life training to be a Browns fan. There are real parallels with my football team, West Ham, and I fell for them right away. It was awful watching their games though. Then about 18 months ago another West Ham fan of the Browns told me about this place. It took forever for me to be approved, they must do a deep background check.

49erurtaza Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) My uncle and my dad are huge 49er fans so it kind runs in the blood. I got extremely into football playing Madden especially franchise mode. I thought I could build a better team then most GMs when I was 12 lol. Basically the year niners drafted Patrick Willis and joe Staley was the first NFL draft I ever watched and I fell I love with it. This is why NFL draft is still my favorite event.

Vee-Rex Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 1999. I was a Browns fan as a kid prior to the move to Baltimore but I wasn't deeply into it at the time. Then, I remember watching the expansion Browns take Couch in the '99 draft and became deeply invested in the new Browns ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Back in the old Run and Shoot days of the Houston Oilers. Warren Moon was my hero. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 When the Eagles acquired TO. I was a super casual fan before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) 1999/2000, sometime that season. Just starting high school, and some friends were talking about it. Decided to give it a go - it was snowy conditions, and I remember hearing the QB screaming his cadence - and I was hooked. Mesmerised. To this day, QB cadence is one of my fav things about the sport. Fires me up, for some reason. Edited March 28, 2019 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched games with my dad when the old Browns were around, but I was more or less a typical kid. Once they came back I was in high school and I became a “real” fan.
