MEET
THE MEN BEHIND THE TAILGATE PARTIES:
ED
(aka: Roachmstr)
Ed's probably the nicest guy in the group, he'd throw out his back cooking for ya. If you want to know "What's Cooking?" Ed would be the guy to contact. Ed and
Don take lead role in the food preparation.
STAN
(aka: ATENEARS)
Stan is the guy that can reel you
in. If your a first time visitor or trying to find your way back,
Stan will provide Map & Directions to the Tailgate. Once there,
look for beer in hand and shit grin on his face and you've
found, "Stan".
DON
(aka: Sperk)
This is the guy behind the scenes
that makes it all a success. Don carefully selects the menu for
the tailgates and has a major hand in it's preparation. Don works
for Jello-shots and cigars, if he starts to whine about his
duties just toss him another.

LEFT: Howard & Gareth
traveled 3,791 miles from their homes near London England. It was their
first Browns game in Cleveland. They became attracted to the Browns
because of the teams rabid fan base.
RIGHT: HowieDawg &
G-man wiping the fixed smiles off their faces for a brief moment to appear
to look tough in this photo with a Browns Helmet and football.
Nov. 4th, 2007
Cleveland Browns defeat the Seattle Seahawks 33-30 in OT for
third straight victory and fourth straight in front of the Home
Crowd.
INTERNATIONAL TAILGATE PARTY
A pair from London England joined in as
well as two parties from Ontario and one from Vancouver British
Columbia mixed in with Browns fans from Idaho, New Jersey,
Milwaukee, Erie, Zanesville, Dayton, Canton and our regular crew.
LEFT (top): Tink makes his way in from
Zanesville annually to hook up with the gang.
LEFT (bottom): Now we know why the
Browns Defense is playing so soft, some of our regular tailgate crew have
been putting freaking Whip Cream on their Jello-shots!!! Outrage!
Right: The MaGee's (Kathy & Bob, aka:
'Bob806') from Berea are part of the Mullin's Bus gang and have made the
tailgate parties a regular stop for the 2007 Season.

LEFT: On Opening
Day 2007, Cleveland's FEAST MAGAZINE visited our tailgate party to
do a story on Ed & Don's lakefront cooking. Click on the picture for a
larger version to read the article and bring pen and paper to the next
tailgate for Ed & Don's autograph.
LEFT: It took one
of our neighboring tailgate brethren, a man lift, and the consumption of
alcohol to perform an exorcist on the lake front. The Browns haven't lost
at home since.
LEFT: Stan, Ed &
Don enjoy a beverage in week #6. A needed break after the trio hosted a
stretch of tailgate parties that included 3 Division Opponent Home games
within the first 4 weeks of the 2007 season.
RIGHT:
TheUMX, danamal & Anvilhead took in the Miami Game on Oct. 14th, 2007. The
Browns are 3-0 in TheUmx's first three tailgate parties, it's danamals
first visit and Anvilheads second in as many seasons.
LEFT: The
Next Generation; these two off-spring have a lot of pressure on their
shoulders to continue the tailgate traditions long after we're gone. Ed's
daughter Colleen and Don's son Dave.
RIGHT: Constellation Brands, Inc. (Fairport NY), sent in 20 of their
finest. The group came in for a team-building weekend and left drunken
Browns fans.
LEFT: September 30th
2007 Tailgate Party prior to beating the Ravens, proved to be one of the
biggest, as 20 traveled in by Motor Coach from Constellation Brands, Inc. (Fairport NY), A dozen Canucks from
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, mixed in with Mullins Group, Ballpeen, Guardian, St. Louis
Browns Backers, and groups from Tennessee, the Bronx, Dayton, as well as
our regular crew. About 70 in Total. It was a hell of a party as Don and
Ed fixed hundreds of pork on a stick and chicken on a stick for the gang.
LEFT:
Guardian, his better half, HagII and Dave mix up the right ingredients for
week 2 as the Browns downed the Bengals in an epic shoot-out. Guardian,
has become a big addition to the group this season.
RIGHT: Don & Ed worry about
preparations for the meal the night before Opening day. Meanwhile,
Atenears is off having the time of his life without a care in the world!
They'd fire him, if he did anything.
LEFT:
Ed (aka: Rochmstr) flew solo for Opening Day
2007, as Don had to stay home and clean the house or something. Ed
prepared Chicken Kabobs for the group and then we marched into
the stadium and watched the Browns get their ass kicked.
RIGHT:
(from left to right)
Zombo (Florida), Mimi & Jarrod (Dayton), Keith (Scotland) and Marko (San Diego) were just a
few big name out-of-towners/country that were present for the first game in 2007.
LEFT: These are two of my
favorite visitors of all-time. Rob (on left) bought his father Pat (on
right) tickets for Opening Day 2007. They traveled in from San Diego, made
their way to the Football Hall of Fame and attended TheBrownsBoard's first
Night Out Party!
RIGHT: The Browns Board Night Out
(first official), was held on Saturday Sept. 8th, 2007 at Scoundrels in
Berea. There's not enough space here to describe what a good time was had
that night, see the link to more on this event (above).
LEFT: The Roacheck family is
the Royal 'First Family of Tailgating'. Ed, with his father, son and wife.
(I know I know, I'm surprised they aren't all wearing 'I Hate The
Steelers' shirts too!)
RIGHT: Brothers Jarrod & Shawn
made the mistake of parking next to us a few years back, they've been
hooked ever since. Intimidated at first by Ed, they somehow found comfort
in the innocent look of Atenears (we never claimed they were smart).
LEFT:
'Janine' (center) was coming into Cleveland, to support her beloved Jets.
She needed to find a place to tailgate for her and her dozen friends. She
made one stop on the Internet, to TheBrownsBoard.com. The rest was a
legendary party!
RIGHT: The Jets fans came to town
(Oct. 29th, 06') 13-strong. They left with memories of some fine
hospitality from our local tailgate crew, and a 20-13 loss sending them
into their Bye week.
LEFT:
A group of Canucks, traveled in from Ontario Canada, as neutral fans of
various teams. They just wanted to see Cleveland Browns Stadium and party with
the die-hard Browns fans. TheBrownsBoard tailgate party fulfilled their
trip.
RIGHT: HagII and friends huddle
inside Atenears silver soccer-mom van to stay warm ... and whined endlessly
about the early cold weather (Oct. 22nd vs Denver)
