• One wonders if Paul Brown knew what he was starting in 1946. For the story of the team named in his honor is not merely one of professional football, but of the city it represents. As much as the Terminal Tower, the West Side Market and Shaker Square, the Browns are woven into the fabric of Cleveland itself, never to be removed

 History of the Browns DVD SetOct 12, 2008
By G. Abbate
"gjadrums"
The first DVD is the history DVD. This DVD was pretty good and covered most of the memorable moments in their history. The reason I give it only 4 stars is because it lacks a lot of detail such as why Modell did the things he did, Kosar's exit, the rebirth, etc. I really wanted them to get into the behind the scenes of what really happened but they didn't.
The second DVD is really cool. We start with the Greatest Games series and the 1986 playoff game between the Browns and Jets. Great show with a lot of detail and interviews. There are three player specials. One of Bernie Kosar, Ozzie Newsome, & Frank Ryan. The last feature is the highlight film of the 1980 Kardiac Kids team. Good special features DVD. Great job!
This is certainly worth it for any Browns fan. Any questions about this DVD...just ask.

They were the best of times, they were the worst of times...Dec 16, 2008
By K. Lepore
"K. Lepore"
Honestly, I thought this was a fantastic DVD. If you are a Browns fan, this is a must own. More than once, this brought a tear to my eye -- particularly at the end. It really did a fine job documenting the ups and downs -- the emotional roller-coaster -- the agony, and the heartbreak of being born and raised on the Cleveland Browns. The only thing I found peculiar was the lack of attention given to Belichick's debacle as a head coach. It seemed like the NFL wanted to exonerate him for his less-than-stellar tenure. Likewise, the DVD tries to gloss over Modell moving the team to Baltimore. Perhaps it's because they are trying to put him in the Hall of Fame, or perhaps it's because he didn't break the hearts of millions of fans and sell his soul for a Super Bowl...oh, wait... Other than those minor flaws, this DVD is an essential for Browns fans.

ode to the Kardic kidsNov 22, 2008
By P. Smith
"Pat"
This is a fun look back at a wonderful team. For a long time the Browns led the way in championship football. In many ways the Browns taught the NFL how to win in foot ball.
Did not like how they glossed over major events in team history. The move to Baltomore, I would have liked more details and given more insight on how ugly it was. I still consider it a personal loss.

Reliving Browns Memories - Passing it on to my sonsFeb 03, 2012
By James B. Metz
"sketch220"
NFL History of the Cleveland Browns is a great NFL film. While I would have liked to have seen more interviews with some of the Browns greats of the 80's and early 90', it was fun to relive some of those memories of Municipal Stadium. To see highlights of championship teams from the 40's and 50's reminds me of why my family passed down Browns fandom. Every die hard Brownie needs to own this film and watch it every year after we go 4-12 and remind themselves as to why they hold out hope that "Maybe Next Year."
