Here's a question for any Browns fan: Why?Why, more than four long decades after your teams last championship . . . despite a relentless pattern of heartbreak, teasing, and more heartbreak . . . capped with a decade of utter futility . . . do you still stick with the Cleveland Browns?Veteran sportswriter Terry Pluto gets a daily barrage of email from fans letting their hearts bleed out orange and brown. So he decided to ask his readers: Just what is it about this team that makes you love them, hate them, and still keep coming back for more?A thousand fans responded-in detail. Their stories-along with interviews with former players and Plutos own expert analysis-deliver the answer. Answers, actually. Because like any intense relationship, its a little complicated . . .Covering the Browns from 1964 through present day, this book does for Cleveland football what Plutos classic about the Indians, The Curse of Rocky Colavito, did for Cleveland baseball: It wont make the pain go away, but it might help you remember why its worth enduring.
