CLEVELAND – Sorry, LeBron. Apologies to the Cleveland Indians.
But one of the biggest days on the Cleveland sports calendar has finally arrived, and it’s the one Browns fans eagerly – or is it anxiously? – await each year: the NFL draft.
“This is our Super Bowl. That’s what we’ve come to celebrate,” Browns super fan Gus Angelone told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday. “It’s sad, but that’s how it is.”
Cleveland is full of long-suffering fans like Angelone, 40, who began rooting for the Browns as a child growing up in Parma, Ohio. He worked inside the stadium hawking credit cards after the team returned to town in 1999, and bought his own season tickets in 2004.
