Here's a question for any Browns fan: Why?

Why, more than four long decades after your team's 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 Pluto's own expert analysis--deliver the answer. Answers, actually. Because like any intense relationship, it's a little complicated . . .

Covering the Browns from 1964 through present day, this book does for Cleveland football what Pluto's classic about the Indians, The Curse of Rocky Colavito, did for Cleveland baseball: It won't make the pain go away, but it might help you remember why it's worth enduring.

Industry Reviews

Full of information that even longtime Cleveland Browns fans may not have known.--Mike Lesko"Record Publishing" (12/15/2010) Pluto shares credit as author with "hundreds of Browns fans," who sent him their stories about cheering for the team and, if they're lucky, meeting and befriending the players . . . For dedicated Browns fans [the book is] like leafing through an old family photo album.--Damian Penny"blogcritics.org" (02/16/2011)
