A look at the last championship seasons of the Browns Before Art
Modell moved the team to Baltimore, and before the frustrating
expansion years and countless front office mistakes of the
twenty-first century, there were the Browns of the late 1980s. The
years 1985 to 1989 saw the Cleveland Browns explode out of a decade
and a half of inconsistency and mediocrity to win four American
Football Conference Central Division titles and make the playoffs
five straight years. Twice they came within inches of a Super Bowl
appearance, led by an unforgettable cast of characters Cleveland
embraced and still cherishes. These teams are perhaps the most
memorable in the history of Cleveland professional sports. Sundays
in the Pound traces quarterback Bernie Kosar's winding path from
Youngstown to Florida to Cleveland, explains why there was so much
more to running back Earnest Byner than one unforgotten fumble, and
reveals how cornerback Hanford Dixon created a canine phenomenon in
the endzone stands that has persevered to this day. Author Jonathan
Knight delves into "the Drive" and "the Fumble"; examines the
fairy-tale performance of an aging veteran quarterback who directed
the Browns through the snow and into the playoffs in his final game
at the old, cavernous Cleveland Stadium on Lake Erie's shoreline;
and recounts an epic playoffs saga in which the Browns staged one
of the greatest comebacks in the history of Cleveland sports.
Cleveland Browns fans throughout the country fondly remember the
"Dawg Days," and they will welcome Sundays in the Pound.
