"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."

For me, it's a throwback nod to the days when both teams were league-leaders.
On top of that, both are regional teams, with overlapping fan bases.
You are correct in that it's "just" a pre-season game, but playing for "the barge" adds a little spice to an otherwise unimportant addendum to training camp.
Side note: my stand partner is a Detroit native son, and has followed them all his life. Being born in Cleve, I could boast the same for myself and our Brownies. We both are hoping for a day when Det and Cleve play in the SB. Until then, the GLC is pretty much all we've got, you know?
The 1998 music video to celebrate the return of Browns football to Cleveland, by members of the Michael Stanley Band, Gerard Levert, Clarence Clemons, Bobby Womack, Lou Rawls, Freda Payne, and Benjamin Orr.
Also appearing in the video, Cleveland Browns greats Jim Brown, Felix Wright, Bob Golic, Dick Ambrose, Brian Sipe, Bernie Kosar, Doug Dieken ("Holding, Number 73"), Al "Bubba" Baker, Leroy Kelly, Lou "The Toe" Groza, Frank Minnifield, Cleo Miller, Dick Schafrath, Reggie Rucker, and Frank Stams. Also, a special guest appearance by Drew Carey from the Warner Bros lot.

The overlapping thing makes sense.
As I understand there are quite a few Browns AND Lions fans in toledo??? Much like YTown is with the Browns and the Stools.

I have to admit that this one brought a tear to my eye. So much hope at the time. Man, little did we know how bad things would be.
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.
For those of you who, like me, don't live in the greater Cleveland area; the first preseason game is going to be live on NFL Network. One of the benefits of having Johnny Manziel on your team.

Then we get a Monday night preseason game the next week. There's no reason to sign up for the NFL pass for one game since the 4th game is just scrubs vs. scrubs.
If I recall correctly, this very Sports Illustrated is in the Captain's Quarters on the U.S.S. Midway docked in San Diego.
It's also in a storage container in my upstairs hall closet.
