Who knew all it would take to cure that post-New York Jets game “our season is doomed” paranoia and earn Johnny Manziel‘s first NFL victory was getting me onto the field as the featured Cleveland Browns “Fan of the Game”?
Not that correlation means causation, but Sunday’s 28-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans identified one helluva’ data point.
Considering that we’ve owned Browns season tickets continuously since my late father, Sol Cohen, returned from World War II, you’d think the Browns might have stumbled onto this scheme sooner. And it is not as if the Browns haven’t tried crazier moves to break the jinx since the 1964 championship season: trading Paul Warfield, drafting Mike Junkin, signing Andre Rison, hiring Pat Shurmur.
