Anyway, youtube doesn't appear to have a clip of that run, but I came across this NFL highlight film of the 1976 Browns' season. Its awesome. About 24 minutes long, if you have the time ...



I found a lot of Browns season highlights in YouTube, as early as maybe 1968 well into the early 1990s. I would bet you can find Pruitt's run against the Chiefs if you search for that year's season video.

Worst moments?

Getting screwed in a playoff game against the Oilers in 88. Inbounds, my ass. Twice.

The Move.

Why does the best have to be some ancient event?

My favorite moment as a Browns fan was the Jets game this year. I was there with my friend Josh. The game started of bad, complete with Crowell wiping his backside with the ball after his 2nd TD.

Then Baker Mayfield made his NFL debut and the energy in the stadium changed. By the end of the game, it was clear; 20 years of futility is over. We have our QB, we have a bright future. And the party continued well into the night. Nobody wanted to leave! The streets outside the stadium were alive with unbridled joy.

There has never been a better moment in my memory than that, right there, this year!

Edited to add: When they scored the 2 pt conversion on the pass from Landry to Mayfield, I turned to my friend and said, "This is a watershed moment. This is the moment we will look back on as when the Browns curse ended!"

Guess you didn't read the thread, or even the first post.

Man, I loved that team. Great memories. Thanks.

Greg Pruitt and his tearaway jerseys - just like at OU.

another good memory: the hail mary against jacksonville with Quincy Morgan


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Yes. That season was magical. I remember an onside kick game vs Tennessee. I recall beating the ravens late in the game as well that season. I remember being at the falcons game and the pandemonium when Green made that run. Euphoria. I remember going to Hooters in the flats after that game because we still needed help. One of those was if the Jets beat Green Bay we'd be in and in improbable fashion the Jets destroyed the Packers. I believe that was the last time the Jets won the division. And one of the few times the patriots did not make the playoffs.

2007 was also magical. The Phil Dawson stanchion kick. The Cincinnati shootout in game 2. The home win come from behind vs Seattle that went into overtime while there was a Bruce Springsteen at the Q. I remember because I made my girlfriend walk from the stadium to the concert alone because I wasn't leaving the game.

A few weeks later I attended one of my most favorite games ever. The blizzard game. Browns win 8-0 and we had a tough time seeing the field from the 500 level. A 49 yd FG in that? Dawson was a hero.

We should have beaten Cincinnati again that year too but Anderson flat out sucked.

Ah...memories.
