The "Boldest" Fan Award Goes To...

by Chris Pokorny on Sep 30, 2011 9:55 AM EDT

Last week, I gave the "Boldest" DBN Member award to mooncamping. He graciously accepted the award by thanking us and declaring that he will now follow the Detroit Lions. He joined the Pride of Detroit website, our Lions affiliate, but has yet to post here or there since receiving the award. Come back soon, moon!

There is one more award to give away for this editorial series, and that goes to the "Boldest" Fan. This one is geared more toward the guy you are used to seeing at Cleveland Browns Stadium. I'd say that John Big Dawg Thompson is pretty recognizable, although I'm not so sure I've seen him around lately. You also have Dawg Pound Mike, who might feel pretty silly for dressing up in a french fry costume back when we thought Charlie Frye was our savior. He also had the weird protest with the front office awhile back. I don't think you can miss the Bone Lady either. Having a seat right behind her at the stadium might be kind of irritating though. Does their notoriety make them "Bold?" Who knows.

I really had no clue who to give this award to until last Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. I was so happy after the Browns won the game that I immediately rewound the broadcast to Mohamed Massaquoi's game-winning touchdown catch. I was caught off guard by a fan who seemed to be celebrating with Massaquoi and company after the catch. I'm surprised the guy got that close to the action before being apprehended. I like Deadspin's reaction to the incident:

But this enterprising Browns fan timed his trespass exquisitely, didn't he? CBS' television cameras had just captured Mohamed Massaquoi's leaping catch with 43 seconds remaining in yesterday's win over the Dolphins. Massaquoi was soon being congratulated by teammates Benjamin Watson and Joshua Cribbs. And along came Some Dude, at just the right moment. Some Dude thus managed to earn a split-second of face-time before the production crew cut away to a crowd shot. Well done, dumbass.

Am I really going to call this guy the Boldest fan? Na. Instead, I'll give it to the cop who was awesomely high-fiving fans near the incident, presumably just before the fan ran onto the field. Well played, sir.

I don’t think anyone can explain the things he does.

While you’re at it, can you give us a brief explanation of the Special Theory of Relativity? Shouldn’t be too hard.

I think Mooncamping is the guy in the above picture.

He didn’t like how he was treated at CBS, so he switched allegiances.

I had a guy get in contact with me on Twitter and ask if I was the same guy he has been talking to on NFL.COM,I replied NO. He then tried convincing me about the great fan community there.I promptly told him they have nothing on DAWGS BY NATURE and told him to watch out for MOONCAMPING! Now he’s following the Lions! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

If you wanna say the cop was bold for celebrating instead of doing his job, that’s fine with me. Still pretty funny.

I’m giving my vote for Boldest fan to Chris Pokorny! The time and effort that he has put into making this a truly enjoyable site. Putting in time and effort that most people don’t put into their careers.I’m giving a close runner up vote to rufio for his inciteful right ups on breaking down the offenses and defenses. His contributions to the Browns fandom community is wide reaching and has made me understand the small nueances that I might have missed before!

I heard this Delta Bravo was in jail till late Tuesday, fined $1000 and is permenantly banned from Browns Stadium (not sure how you enforce that one).

What does that MEAN - TO PLAY US OUT?!!?!?

Hopefully, since yahoo highlighted that cop high-fiving when the fan ran onto the field he wont get in trouble. It would be a shame.

Yahoo didn’t have to highlight it; if I saw it live the first time I watched (which I did), I’m sure others did too.

TV coverage for the Browns game Dayton

Seeing that the Bungholes did not sell out does anyone know if WHIO in Dayton will air the Browns game… I love when Mike B in Cinnci does not sell out means for the most part i can see a Browns game. Thanks in advance

I think I'm TIVOing this game

off of NFL Sunday Ticket, Sunday is a big day for we Mormons, so I try to record games and watch them later throughout the week, but don’t let me down Brownies, beat the Titans because their fans need some humble pie. I have always liked Colt McCoy (I served a mission not too far away from him in El Paso, he was in Tuscola, I believe, but anyway). Peyton Hillis is the one Bronco I regret letting go in the Scheffler, Marshall, Cutler exodus and I hope he can go Sunday. This should be a really good game, but Cleveland can be 3-1 if they win, that’s pretty neat!

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!
