Twitter is great for many things. Instant breaking news, scorching hot takes, sarcasm and debates would probably be on the Mt Rushmore of Twitter usefulness. One of the best things about Twitter is when a certain topic starts to gain momentum (particularly if there is a hashtag associated with it), anyone and everyone can jump on board. Last night, Pat McManamon, who covers the Browns for ESPN.com, delivered. In response to this journalistic suplex delivered by CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora about the troubles of the Browns front office, McManamon took to Twitter to remember other times the Browns were….well, the Browns.
Remember when … last year’s draft was one of the most crucial ever. #Brownsrememberwhen

Remember when … a Browns DT was the “finest, nicest man” ever arrested by Pittsburgh police. #Brownsrememberwhen — PatMcManamon (@PatMcManamon) February 5, 2015

And once others started jumping in, the results were downright glorious….
