There you are, one of the top players in the upcoming NFL Draft. You sit in the Green Room anxiously waiting for your name to be called. You hope it's the Cleveland Browns, with the number that starts with the sweet 216, who grace your cell phone.

As you sit, you think of all the memories the Cleveland Browns gave you as a child. From the earliest memories of your Chomps stuffed animal, to your most recent ones, such as sharing a beer with your father as you watched a Browns receiver seal a game winning touchdown catch against the Steelers, sending the Browns to the Playoffs.

The Browns are in desperate need of your position, and you're almost certain they want you. It's always been your dream to be a Cleveland Brown and to make your father proud.

Suddenly, you're taken out of your daydreams and memories. Your phone is ringing, but it's too early; it's not the Browns' turn. Maybe they traded up for you? You look at one of the many TVs in the room and see that it says in large lettering:

"THE STEELERS PICK IS IN".

Dunno if we have car enthusiasts in here or just people who drive Mini - vans, so I wanna see what hot rods DBNers race around the school parking lot.

I'm making this thread after I received Kid Cudi's new album "WRZD". Needless to say, it's Cudi hitting it out of the park again. But it made me think, this guy absolutely loves repping Cleveland through his work and gives us a pretty good name considering all the others in his genre who suck coming from other cities.

If you're only into the Rock genre though, we have Mushroomhead. A great heavy metal band that refuses to play in large venues. Because of that their shows are always fun and out of this world. Never been disappointed of a Mushroomhead song; always produced well with a lot of creativity.

Cleveland - Born music doing it right. Are there any other bands/ singers from Cleveland now or then that you guys have interests in?

Depending on the person they are, how they look, things they've said, I've compounded a list of notable NFL players, personnel and teams and what their corresponding Rage face would look like.

Now, let me speak. I'm not going Art Modell on you here. But think about it. The NFL has started to play games in London over the past few seasons. Now, the St. Louis Rams are going to have a home game there for the next three seasons. What if it were the Browns instead though?

Figured we needed to talk about something that isn't about the Frowns or Penn State. What better than a facial hair thread! I shaved on Nov. 1st and this is what I look like 15 days in. Just trimmed it so I don't have a neck beard or hair reaching my eyeballs lol. Usually have this type of beard but usually can't keep it trimmed well enough without having to pull out the weed wacker and start fresh. Will be trying to hold this at a manageable level throughout No Shave November, Decembeard, and Januhairy. This is just me thinking about Skyrim while in World Pol, haha.  POST YOUR FACIAL HAIR!

In some form of brilliance long since absent from ESPN (somebody must've had an out of world experience there to come up with this), the network created a great set of sports related movies that capture sports in a whole new light. I'm honestly one movie in but it seems that all the movies they've chosen/ created have great stories.

Right now, in World Pol, we're watching the 30 for 30 movie "Once Brothers" where the nationalistic split of Yugoslavia drove apart the once close relationship had between Vlade Divac and Drazen Petrovic. I love Vlade and how a simple act of grabbing a flag turned his world upside down. We're only an hour in but I love how it was done. The information and emotions from the split of them and Yugoslavia are astounding. Also, they're from the homeland of my nationality as well, so it hits a little close to home. Also have been meaning to see Catching Hell, that one just captures me because of how one fanbase can hate one normal fan so passionately, all over one simple mistake that most of us would have made ourselves.
