This lively and illuminating program will take you on a roller coaster ride through the history of one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. Author and veteran sports writer Marty Gitlin, who covered the Browns in the newspaper field and for CBS Sports, will discuss and show videos of the greatest and most interesting players, teams, events and moments since the franchise were born, including the years of perennial championships from 1946 to 1964. Watch the exploits of such superstars as Otto Graham, Marion Motley, Jim Brown and Paul Warfield through the 1960s. Relive the Kardiac Kids and Dawgs of the 1980s. Lament and learn more about the loss of the franchise when Art Modell hijacked the club to Baltimore, as well as the struggles after their return throughout the twenty-first century. Marty will host a Q&A following the program.
