I'm so excited (from August 25, 2009)

Dear Mr. Hewlitt,

I can't tell you how excited I am that you are giving up whatever it is that you do during the day to come talk to us tomorrow. I've heard about Tim Couch, Ernest Byner and John Elway-and there is that guy we are not supposed to mention. It will be a hoot to have someone as old as you come and talk to us about when the Browns were really good-I think my Dad was a pup then. And it will be fun to see a living fossil like yourself in person.

The only news from camp is a new sense of fashion. Derek and Brady saw some picters of some guy named Duane who was wearing some new fangled pants called Manpris. They looked to me like the overalls that were handed down to me by my older brother Sean who was shorter than me. Anyway, our too QBs have decided to be trend setters-they are considering 6 inch heels to go with them. They say that those shoes will make there ankles stronger but after the Papisterian church service I went to, its a little funny.

 

Can't wait to see you-I'll have the Rascal ready for you with a Browns flag flying

Camp News (from August 24, 2009)

Dear Mr Hewlitt,

Coach and Mr. Catlin told me you did a real nice thing for Perry Nunley. His music really touches me and makes me homesick for Ma and my dog.

Mr. Catlin was really interested and worried about some of our players. I told him about 3 of our wide receivers who can really fly-4.9 in the 40 yard run. Most times they run rite by our defensive backs in practice cause they are so fast.

 

They were tellin me about a book called Ride the Thunder too. I sure wish Bambi was here to read it too me. She sure was cute.

No football today (from August 23, 2009)

Dear Mr.Hewlitt,

No workouts today but I did go to the Papisterian Chapel service. Wasn't too different from back home except for the smelly thing that the clergyman kept swingin around. He and his assistant who helped him with church seemed to be best of friends. I mean like 2 pees in a pod.

 

Coach told me that you rite books. I don't read much but if you wrote one about Nascar, I'd love to look at the pictures. At Noter Dame they gave us each personal assistants to read to us. My last one was named Bambi and shee was a whiz at reading and writing papers-she was darned cute too. Don't think iI could have made it thru my 4th freshman year without her.

 

Hope you were happy with our team

Browns Update (from August 22, 2009)

Dear Mr. Hewlitt,

I'm taking a minute to update you from the sideline. Hope you are happy with thee outcome so far-nothing like beating the mighty Lions.

Coach was all wee wee'd up befor the game. The pregame mac and cheese was undercooked so the noodles were hard and the cheese not melted. He had us worked into a froth like that Jerimiah Right fella. Well we are takin it out on the Lions.

 

Hope we made you proud Mr. Hewlitt

Dear Mr. Hewlett,

Coach asked me to tell you to watch the Lions very carefully today. He says that when we finally turn the corner we can be a team like them. Now I'm scared a bit.

Sean for Hugh (from August 20, 2009)

Dear Mr Hewlitt,

We are preparing for a game with the mighty Detroit Lions on Sat.  Tonight we went past the Touchdown Bernie statue twice-I guess for luck.

There was a notice on the board about chapel services on Sunday that I thought you might be interested in. We are having what is called a Papisterian Chapel service. It said that there will be a combination of Rosarys, Hail Marys and reciting from the Westminister Confessions.I've handled snakes before in Church back home, but am really looking forward to swinging a dead chicken on Sunday. The Priestor says it will be a service to remember.

 

Hope we can bring home a winner on Sat for you  loyal fans-or at least make a couple of first downs..

Message from Sean O'Grady (from August 20, 2009)

Dear Mr. Hewlitt,

Just reporting in on a couple of things that might interest you. Coach has decided to help us build pride in the Brown and Orange in our meals. I heered that some teams have steak and chicken 3 times a day, but coach wants to make sure we remember that we are the Orange helmet guys. So, 3 times a day we have Kraft macaroni and cheese-mountains of it. Orange gatorade and orange jello round out the meals but of an evening, we have a special treat. Orange popcicles.

We have spent most of our time practicing punt coverage and kickoff returns. Coach says that most of our time in the games will be doing those things so he want us to be ready to shine.

 

We have a neat thing at the end of the day. Kinda like when I was at Noter Dame. We walk single file by the statue of Touchdown Bernie while holding our thumb and 1st finger in the shape of an L to our foreheads. Don't know why but its fun'

 

Your Browns friend

Audition for radio time (from August 18, 2009)

Dear Mr Hewlett,

My coach helped me dial the radio today and I heered your plee for a Brown to give acounts. My name is Sean O'Grady-I like that little doodad between the O and G- and I am hopping to be a defensive line man for the Browns. I spent fore years as a freshman at Notre Dame and the coach there told me it was time to move on. I decided that the Browns looked promising because I already knew how to lose and they wasnt expectorating much out of me. The toughest part of training camp has been the rule that we must shower ever day-seems wasteful too me but it is nice to have clean clothes and extry shoes. This is a pitiful bunch and I plan to make the team. I wood be happy to talk on your show everry week-coach can help me dial the phone. Maybe we could get liquerd up and go hunitn too. Plese let me know-its lonesome here without Ma and my dog

 

Respccfully

 

Sean O'Grady-isnt that doodad somthin
