The first time that I started paying attention to the Cleveland Browns was during the 2001 season, but it was the 2002 season in which I was a full-blown die hard fan who couldn’t miss a second of any game. That season, the Browns made the playoffs with a 9-7 record. The first Browns postseason game that I was cognizant of took place on January 5, 2003. I was 13 years old.
January 10, 2021 will be the Browns’ next postseason game. I am now 31 years old. 18 freaking years later.

I still remember that playoff game fondly, with Kelly Holcomb getting the start, and the early catch-and-run to Kevin Johnson that saw his bare ass showing for a bit after the play when he was tackled, my mom making note of it.
