Dawgfather's Bio

33, living behind enemy lines in the "City of Champions" as a Browns fan. I'm from the East Side suburb of Cleveland Heights and have lived and died with the Browns all my life. I'm ready to see the Browns take the next step and be competitive again this year.

I'am a member of the Pittsburgh Browns Backers and have been writing about the Browns for the last five years. Originally starting out as a e-newsletter, Robert's Rant in 2005 and 2006, I have been published on Browns247.com as the controversial and hard-hitting UNLEASHED since 2007 and after taking a hiatus from blogging to work on publishing my first e-book, BlackSeed, The Dawgfather is back!

Check out the new and improved UNLEASHED blog at http://roberts-rant.blogspot.com/ and follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/Dawgfather76. GO BROWNS!

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Batting 400.
Ruth or Mays?

Mays, the original "five-tool" player
Unitas or Montana?

Montana, "Joe Cool" was the man!

Russell, all-around player who was dominant on both ends

SEC, it is the closest thing to the NFL in terms of speed, talent and skill and also having won three of the last four BCS Championship games. It's hard to argue who the best conference in the FBS.

Dawgfather,

From the 1940's Chicago Bears to the 2000's Patriots, every dynasty has its rise and fall.

Tired of reading the same articles about Mangini? Here's my take on the Browns roster and how they could attack free agency. It's a fresh look at the organization and could be refreshing after sifting through thousands of Mangini articles.

Always good to be ahead of the game. Were you listening to EEI or did you catch wind of that report? As you can guess from my profile, WEEI is my hometown sports radio station.

The editor queue is messing with my feedback.. so I just wanted to let you know what I changed in your article:

Only one minor fix. Mangini only led the Jets to the playoffs once. So I re-worded that section a bit for accuracy and so it would flow more smoothly. Hope you don't mind.
