Old Man Jay

On the 20th day of June in the year of 1953 off the shores of Lake Erie, Jay Negin was brought into this world.  Cleveland, Ohio was home and shortly there after the Browns were his team.  Jay has often been seen at Cleveland Browns Stadium enjoying the game and pre-game festivities with his family and friends.  Up to four generations of Browns fans at one time.  When  it comes to the fan-dom that Jay endures every year.  He defines the word fan.  Jay has been a season ticket holder for 39 years and has bore witness to every notable Browns memory in his lifetime.  He has seen every Browns football coach in history less the Great Paul Brown.  Minus a few randow playoff apperances the pain a Browns fan endures would shatter a regular fan.  This only proves how devout Jay has been throughout his life.  He endured “Red Right 88,” he was blinded by “The Fumble” and heartbroken after “The Drive.”  Year after year however, his love for the Browns continues to grow.  If not for that love he would have missed the double overtime victory over the Jets, or the Blizzard Bowl against Buffalo.  He would have missed some of the most memorable moments in Browns history.  But he didn’t.  He was THERE!
