I agree with these except I would switch out Nance for Craig Ehlo.

And the others teams, I have to think about some more.

World B Free's my all-time favorite Cav. I appreciate what Lebron did in bringing the city a championship but the question was "favorite." Didn't like the guy.

Ok, I guess you can do it in your lifetime. So you don’t have memories of watching Clemente and quite young for Greene, Swann and Lambert.

I wore a jack lambert jersey almost everyday In elementary school. My dad used to talk to me all the time and teach me about Clemente. Didn’t seem that young for the Steelers as I remember it but I was very smart as a kid. In kindergarten I used to sit in the corner and read this huge pile of   readers digest all day long and not even talk to anyone. I could read at two years old. The mean joe green commercial I still remember fondly 

I could replace Clemente with spanky lavaliere . I also look like Franco Harris so he could have made the list although I don’t have memories of the immaculate reception

Yeah, well I could count to a 1,000 at age 3, which translates to I was a nightmare in the back seat on trip.

I’m revising my Browns list and have Bernie Kosar bump out Frank Ryan. 
 

I was sorry to learn just the other day that Hot Rod had passed away 4 years ago. 

My dad is a browns fan and I could easily have made a top five browns I hate but kinda love. Dixon and sipe, minnefield, Mack, the return guy I can’t think of right now... 

geeblock just reminds me of a favorite Brown of mine I just thought of when talking about returns: Greg Pruitt

Surprised no one has mentioned Eric Metcalf

I've probably mentioned this story on here but a few years ago my girlfriend and I were at the Rocksino (now MGM Casino) in Cleveland and this guy gets escorted over by us and sits down on the slot right next to me. Reeking of hard alcohol so bad I tell my GF "glad this place is non smoking or it might blow up if someone lights a match near this guy." I look over at him and say "are you Hanford Dixon?" and he says "yeah." Dude was so drunk he got up to go to the bathroom and says "watch my machine...it's hot." It wasn't...most he hit was $10. He leaves his iPhone and I wanted so bad to check it to see if he had Bernie on speed dial. He was cool but man that guy hammers down the booze. My nephew, who is a high roller at Jack Casino has several stories about Hanford as he's a regular there.
