I'am very excited and honored in becoming the newest Cleveland Browns Featured Columnist on Bleacher Report in covering my beloved Cleveland Browns and joining the B/R Swagger team in contributing WAG/gossip and entertainment articles.

About me I'm 34, and I'm former East Sider from Cleveland Heights living in the Brookline neighborhood of Pittsburgh. I have been a life-long, long-suffering Browns fan since I was 3, I have seen the "Drive" and "The Fumble" and cried when Jordan hit my beloved Cavs with "The Shot" and "Shot 2"

I have been involved in writing sports since my senjor year in high school for the Cleveland Heights student newspaper, "The Black and Gold" In which my landmark article was Bill Belichick's sacking of my all-time fave Brown, Bernie Kosar.

My articles have been featured in the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Sun Press Newspaper

I have been a member of the Pittsburgh Browns Backers since 2005 and have written about the Browns on my blog, Robert's Rant - UNLEASHED since 2006, which has also been featured on the Browns fansite, Browns 24/7.

I'm very hopeful and optimistic about the hiring of Mike Holmgren and am excited about the play of Colt McCoy but I'm a dire realist with a wide and extremely broad knowledge of all sports, those who know me would best describe me as a walking "sports encyclopedia"

On a personal note, I just became a father to my beautiful new baby daughter, Arianna and a husband to my beautiful new wife, Kathryn.

In my spare time I enjoy watching ESPN, my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes, Fantasy Football (I just recently defended my title and have now won back-to-back FFL titles!!) and 3D digital graphics as I'm working on my first graphic novel, RED SIRYN - Shadow of Ximitar which will be out Winter 2012.
