William E. Horner's Cleveland Browns fan blog

           Alright we are just hours away from the first meeting in 2008 against the Browns hated foes, the Pittsburgh Steelers.   The Steelers are coming off an impressive win against the Houston Texans and the Browns will be trying to rebound after a dreadful loss to the NFC favorite Dallas Cowboys.
