2021 Browns Training Camp

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Have any of you guys been to a practice before? I'm curious how the experience was.
In 2010-2012 I went to more than half of the training camps. I always enjoyed it. Usually early in practice the positional groups would rotate between 6 or 7 areas, so you'd get to see most players do some basic drills up close when they came to your area. Usually later in practice they scrimmage, but sometimes it is hard to see depending on which field they are using. That was like a decade ago, so not sure how things have changed.

I used to go every year with my dad, and my dad still goes atleast once a year at 78 years old. That said, I havnt gone since BEFORE the team moved to Baltimore, so not sure what I say matters, but the experience was phenomenal every time.

Bring a water bottle (not sure if still can) and watch and talk to other super fans. No one is drunk, every one there is really educated on football as they are super fans, i just love the experience personally. But its been 25 years for me.
 
I went when I was a kid (early 90s - I think it was at Hiram?) - it was cooler then because there wasn’t much production around it. There were stands, you sat in them. You could stand behind the uprights and run after FG attempts from the kickers at camp. I caught a ball and broke my wrist watch. Worth it.

Now it’s a marketing thing and very sanitized. Still a good experience, but not nearly as cool.
 
When I went as a kid, I met Webster Slaughter and he really hit it off with my dad. My family took him out to dinner after practice. Turned out he was a huge fan of the pot roast sandwich at Max and Erma’s and was oddly a really big Debbie Gibson fan. He and my sister were singing a lot of her songs before she died of lupus.
 
When the great Kitchens was coach I went to Indy to watch the Browns practice with the Colts. The fights were neat.
 
I had a quick convo with Bernie Kosar over the weekend.

I said, "Bernie, man, Browns look to be Super Bowl bound. What do you think?"

He replied: "I'll tell you what. For the past 21 years, people would come up to me and ask about the next season, and what I thought. I'd tell them the team looks improved and have a shot to do this or that. I felt like Pinocchio because most of those things were lies. Not this year. This is the first year in 21 years where I think the Browns can win the Super Bowl. I think this team can do it."

I felt like hugging him after that, but I didn't want him to feel my boner against his leg.

That's awesome. You just randomly run into him downtown or something?

It was a golf outing. The organizer convinced him to come by. The outing was canceled due to flooding, but Bernie still came out. He brought his freakin helicopter! On his way out, he took off, hovered over a putting green, and dropped a bucket of balls out the side of the helicopter. Closest to the pin won $1000. The ball with my number on it was not closest. Most accurate ever my ass.

I met former Browns great Carl Nassib at an outing.....but it was a different kind of outing. :chuckle:

He’s been telling people that this was the first year in ____ years that this is the first year he thinks the Browns can win a Super Bowl and all those other conversations were lies too!
 
I went to a training camp practice in 2019. OBJ was making highlight plays, it looked unreal up close.

Also Nick Chubb is ENORMOUS. Now, I'll let you speculate on what I'm talking about.
