Hello. Welcome to the Browns Bulletin.

I am Dan Kadar, your blog captain. While most consider me a journalist, I am first and foremost a Cleveland Browns fan. One of my earliest memories is hearing Dick Enberg call the 1986 AFC Championship game between the Browns and Broncos. This says a lot about my formative years.

As a youngster, I dressed up as Bernie Kosar almost every Halloween. It was a great costume, but sadly didn't include Bernie's sweet, sweet mullet. I stayed a fan during the bleak Bill Belichick years and I don't recall any events in my life from 1996 to 1999.

Following high school, I went to the University of Akron. There, I worked at the school paper, the Buchtelite. (You're probably already aware of one of my great collegiate cohorts.) For some time at the Buchtelite I had the Charlie Frye beat. That's right. An entire beat based on a Mid-American Conference quarterback.

During college, I worked as a student correspondent at the Beacon Journal in the features department. It was fun writing about everything in pop culture, from interviewing poets to writing about a woman who ate dirty worms in front of a live audience at Geauga Lake. We were both sober.

Now, I work for Ohio.com, helping coordinate the news and sports sections. By all means, leave comments, offer suggestions and e-mail me anything you'd like. (well, except pictures of you in your underpants. that would be weird)
