The Browns didn't exist when I was growing up. Probably Broncos-Packers in the Super Bowl. I would've been seven.

I remember watching the 85 browns...specifically the Browns/Dolphins playoff game...sigh

Also, even though I am a browns fan, the 85 bears probably lead to me really following football closely.

Really started following football in 1968 and I was 7. I was a big Leroy Kelly fan. First Super Bowl I remember watching was 1969 with the Colts and Jets.

The first game that I recollect was "The Catch" by Clark and the 49ers when I was 7. I remembered the replays and mom and dad pointing out how the security cop in tne end zone was going crazy!.

That had to be the first...the next big memory was that next year when RIggins scored a long TD on 4th and short in the SB.
Cant really remember the actual game . I remember the pretty color Dolphins playing the pretty color Rams on Monday night football . Sister liked the pretty color Rams and father had money on the pretty color Dolphins.. Super Bowl XIII comes to mind . that was the first big time game I remember watching .

I was 6 yrs old, and it was "The Drive".

Also, I'm calling BS on remembering a game when you were 3 yrs old.

First game I remember, but don't really remember actually watching, was The Drive. I was at my grandparents house with my dad and uncles. Only really remember the screaming and swearing at the end. First game I can remember purposefully sitting down to watch because I wanted to watch it was 1993, Steelers at Browns, the Eric Metcalf two-punt return touchdown game. That game really got me hooked on football.

1984 season. First game I really remember was Pittsburgh beating SF something like 20-17. Which was their only loss, as they went 15-1 and slammed Miami in the Super Bowl...after fuckin' Marino and gang pounded the Steelers in the AFC Championship. The greatest moments of Mark "No, I'm Not Tom Selleck" Malone.

Probably the Packers-Patriots Super Bowl, I was 7 at the time. We watched it at my family friends' house, and I remember rocking a Drew Bledsoe Pats jersey that's still lying around my parents' house somewhere.

The first game I remember watching was the 1991 super bowl. I remember going to the store and picking out a bills cake And then watching them lose. I had just turned 7 at that time.

The funny thing is I definitely waited games before then I just don't remember. My moms favorite story to tell people is that when I was three one day I got up walked over to the remote and changed the tv to sports center and went back to my blocks. She says before then I had never even touched the remote. I was a we rid kid though my favorite show thru elementary school was sport center and my favorite movie was the blues brothers.

Eagles/Raiders super bowl in 1981, I was 7. My dad wasn't into football much back then so we didn't watch much. Even through most of the 80's I didn't watch much.

6. I remember watching a couple of Browns games before they moved away, so it would have been 1995.

I was a Cleveland Browns fan since the mid-60's with Jim Brown followed by Leroy Kelly ar RB and Frank Ryan and Bill Nelson at QB. Then came the Kardiac Kds and the Bernie Kosar Era. Those were the golden days of Browns football.

Then douche bag Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore.....and then the end of my NFL loving days. I've never been able to come back. Nothing but a bunch of drug using over-paid hot dogs now. I can't get into it.

That being said, the first NFL game I remember watching on TV was the 1967 Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers against the Kansas City Chiefs but I'm sure I watched some Browns games well before that one.

Ughhh...that was the playoffs of Red Right 88...the year where I firmly believe that had the Browns beaten the Raiders that they would've went on to win a Super Bowl. The Drive and the Fumble teams likely would've been blown out in those Super Bowls.

This is the first game I can recall ever watching too. I'm sure there were some before that, but that's the one that sticks out in my mind.
