12 Days of a Cleveland Christmas: Day 9

December 17, 2009 by 157 Comments

ornament1 copyYesterday’s winner was Michael, who wants to see Clay Matthews’ #57 retired. A great number agreed with Michael, but the favorite was certainly Kosar’s #19. A good showing by Omar Vizquel as well. On to today’s giveaway.

To many fans (including many of our readers), the words Cleveland Browns and tradition of winning don’t seem to go together. Let’s face it, since the Browns came back into the league they have never been a legitimate threat to win the whole thing. But there was a time. Today a lucky reader is going to get the History of the Cleveland Browns double dvd set. In addition, we are throwing in a pair of tickets to see the Indians and the Oakland A’s on July 3rd, and a Cavs Hardwood Classics t-shirt. Sound good?

Once again, here’s the skinny…

That’s right WFNY loyal readers- the December giveaway is back! Each weekday from now until Tuesday the 22nd we will be giving away a great Cleveland sports prize pack. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on the daily prize post answering the question of the day. It’s that simple. Look for the posts at noon.

- You may only enter once each day. You are free to comment on each other’s answers, however.

- The winner will be chosen at random from the qualifying entries. Winners will be notified the following day by email (make sure the email address you registered to comment with is a real one!) You must be at least 18 years old to win, and only one winner per household during this giveaway please.

-Entries must be made before Midnight EST to qualify.

Last year I made everyone give their answer in exactly 64 words, (last Cleveland title) but this year I’m going to be a bit more lenient. As long as you actually answer the question, it doesn’t matter how many words you use.

Today’s prize- The History of the Cleveland Browns dvd, Tribe vs A’s tickets and a Cavalier Hardwood Classic shirt!

Today’s question- If you could give the Browns a Christmas present, which one current NFL player would you add to the team?

Good luck!

    Lots of great suggestions. How about Walter Payton? Not available? Then let them have Patrick Willis. He would improve the whole defense.

  • http://www.displacedclevelandfan.com andy_dcf

    Adrian Peterson was my first pick. If we’re going defense, I like the suggestion earlier of Ed Reed.

  • Eli

    I’ll also throw out Terrell Suggs, so he can knock all the fans to the ground and pour bleach on them.

  • BB

    Charlie Fry, that way the Raiders would have to play Russel.

  • DCBucks

    Chris Johnson.

  • jbreg

    Lebron James…If the Browns have him under contract, then he can’t leave Cleveland, right.

    But if we’re talking NFL…Kellen Winslow, so I wouldn’t have to go buy yet another Browns jersey.

  • kmzipsgolf

    Larry Fitz.

  • http://gmoneysack.blogspot.com GMoney

    There is no leadership on defense amongst the players from what I see. And they need more playmakers…Patrick Willis would be a great fit.

  • christiang

    Peyton Manning. He’s just a total professional and who wouldn’t want to build a team around a no-excuses guy.

  • http://www.livetocookathome.com Dave

    Nnamdi Asomugha

  • Mark

    Don’t see how the answer couldn’t be Peyton manning

  • Scharfna

    Matt Ryan

  • Randy

    As much as I would like to pick a QB, I think we need to much around him for him to be successful. I narrowed my choices down to LB, S, or RB. It’s between Willis, Polamalu, or Johnson/Peterson. Looking at next year’s draft, it’s quite possible that we could get Berry at safety. I think we could get a solid linebacker in the 2nd or 3rd round but I don’t really see any RB that is a gamebreaker. So in the end, I’m gonna have to go with Chris Johnson. I love Peterson but he seems a little too injury prone and with the Browns’ luck, Johnson seems to be the better pick.

  • Dannyboy

    Mario Williams

  • P. Ross

    There’s been many people recommending Willis or Manning and both would be great additions to the Brownies. But I am doing this for the sole purpose of winning a vintage browns t-shirt and some tribe tickets. So I am going in a different direction and giving the Browns Elvis Dumervil, gift wrapped and ready to start eating sack lunches against big ben, flacco and palmer. The 5’11″ Linebacker plays in a 3-4 and leads the league with 15 sacks. Plus he’s the guy who Marcus Vick stomped on ultimately leading to his dismissal from the Hokies. P.S. I wear a large fellas.

  • Rich

    They need a big play WR (that can actually catch the ball), so I’ll go with Andre Johnson. Easier to steal a decent RB in later draft rounds that might break out.
    That being said, it would be awesome having LeBron on the team. How could anyone defend the fade to him in the corner? They would score every time they got in the red zone. Just can’t get in the red zone though…

  • Shaun

    Vernon Davis

    Quinn + Great TE = TDs all day long

  • Joe H

    gotta go defense… Troy Polamalu, look how much the Steelers D is hurting without him

  • NCbuckeye

    Revis Island would help the entire defense, and as a Bonus Hank Poteat would never have to see the field again.

  • ashevilleben

    would take adrian peterson, just because i expected us and wanted us to draft him so badly… though it was hard not to say clay matthews III. would happily take either, but goin with peterson.

  • Dan

    troy Polamalu. Just watch the steelers this year compared to last year. He is a total difference maker

  • cweb25

    Adrian Peterson. Top of the line running back would make more of an immediate impact than any other addition.

  • TSR3000

    Chris Johnson.

  • oribiasi

    Chris Johnson.

  • Greg

    Peyton Manning

  • The Other Tim

    Kellen Winslow Jr.
    Dude is a soldier.

  • Chrisjake

    Peyton Manning is the choice

  • T-roy

    I would go for Troy Polamalu just because see the Steelers with Troy injured and you know how important he is. And we could beat the Steelers again next year

    Clay Matthews III. Having #57′s son on the field would be a constant reminder that the Browns were once something other than a door mat. What this team has been missing is a connection to franchise history. Front office people, coaches, and players have come and gone, but no one has appreciated what it means to be a Cleveland Brown. We saw a glimmer of that last week with the Pittsburgh win – I think Josh Cribbs gets it. I would place a premium on drafting players like Matthews, an obvious legacy, as well as Ohio natives / Ohio State guys. Someone who wants to play here will be a much better contributor over the long haul than a slightly higher rated player who doesn’t. A.J. Hawk, Laurenitis, Santonio Holmes should be Browns. There is a lot of tradition here, and a lot to be proud of. Without that sense of tradtion, the Browns are just a rootless expansion team.

  • Josh

    Ed Reed. That man is a ball hawk. Anytime there is an INT or a fumble Ed Reed isn’t far away. Anytime a team plays the Ravens, they have to gameplan around Reed. He makes plays when the team needs it most. He changes games. The Browns need that.

  • Derek

    Got to be Aaron Rodgers. A good young QB, that’s how you start a franchise. I’d say he’s the closest to a sure thing in his mid-20′s.

  • 5haun

    If I were to add a back, you can’t go wrong with either Chris Johnson or Adrian Peterson.
    Help on the line would be nice, but not a pressing matter.
    Defense would have to be either Patrick Willis or Troy Polumalu.

    All things considered I’d go with Willis. Especially if we could then draft Suh.

  • dawgpndgirl

    Drew Brees.

  • websterslaughter

    Steve Tasker Mangenius would be enamored

  • Anthony

    Andre Johnson, he can actually catch-unlikely a former “#1″ WR we had here. He can block, runs great routes and maybe most importantly…he is unselfish. He’s a game changer, the best in the game right now at that position. He would immediately give us a playmaker which we solely lack.

  • Brick

    A healthy Troy Polamalu.

  • Steven

    Wes Welker…Toughness and a guy who can handle the ball and take a hit over the middle.

  • WebstarSlaughterHouse

    Chris Johnson on O and Patrick Willis on D

  • Thomas

    My first instinct is Troy Polamalu, so I’m going to stick with that. Really, any impact player will do.

  • LakeErieMonstar

    Seeing as how cornerback is probably the weakest spot on this weak team…Antoine Winfield, former OSU corner and current Vikings stud.

  • Yegley

    My player to be added to the Browns would be Elvis Dumervil from Denver. After watching the QB pressure literally crush the “Squealers” last Thursday, a consistent outside pass rush is what this defense needs desperately.

  • Jeremy C

    Peyton Manning. I can’t even understand that anyone else would be mentioned.

  • http://Waitingfornextyear Maryland dawg

    A good draft !

  • TheBoogie

    I would give the Browns Adrian Peterson

  • http://goerie.com garwass

    peyton!

  • w00td00d

    I’d have to say Clay Matthews Jr., I love seeing teams play tough defense. If anything could contribute to our home field advantage it would be some hard hitting D.

  • Rich

    LeSean McCoy. I was hoping the Browns would pick their running back of the future in the second round last spring.

  • ello

    Adrian Peterson for sure. He would take loads of pressure off of our recievers/brady. Plus he is one of the top backs of the league and he still hasnt even come close to his peak.

  • Josh

    I’m going Darelle Revis. Completely takes opposition’s #1 WR. Huge weapon to have. Close second is Ed Reed, but he gets downgraded for being on the Ravens.

  • Scooter

    I saw a few other people say it, but I have to agree with you guys who said Drew Brees. He is the real f’in deal people. With or without that “thing” on his face.
