Jared Mueller a lifelong Browns fan from Sandusky, Ohio who serves as the Producer for Dawgs By Nature and has been covering the Cleveland Browns for over a decade including at FanSided, The OBR and USA Today.
While we as a site tend to focus as much as possible on the positives of covering the Cleveland Browns, the team’s recent history has a lot of negatives. The betrayal by Art Modell led to The Return in 1999, a rushed process that left both the stadium and the team with poor foundations.
