Hey Raleigh Browns Fans did you see.

Gabriel put on a show in his first extended action of the preseason, completing 12 of 15 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns in the first half of Cleveland's 37-13 win - putting 6 points more on the board then the highest score last year.

September 13th is only a little bit away. We can't wait to see everybody at the new place. We're giving away free beer, but you must be wearing Brown's gear to receive one!!

Good Morning everyone

As some may know, Sophie's is closing down. Desi sold the restaurant to a big company.

Fear not! The Raleigh Browns Backers will be moving to a new location for the 2026 season.

The place is 'The Balkan Table." It is at 2425 Kildare Farm Road Suite 20.

Neli is the owner and Desi will be the GM of The Balkan Table. So it will have the same great menu and the same amazing love for the Browns.

The Balkan Table is set to open in either late May or early June. Keep your eyes out for information about their grand opening!

The Browns had an amazing draft (per multiple websites). We look forward to seeing everyone at the new location in September!!

Have a great summer everyone. The season will begin soon.

The NFL Draft is tomorrow!!!!!

I absolutely love the NFL Draft. It's one of my favorite weekends of the year. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone and hanging out at Sophie's for the NFL Draft Party for the first round on Thursday April 23, 2026. The first round begins at 8 pm. We will have full sound for the draft.

Our Cleveland Browns have two selections in the first round! We have picks 6 and 24. Popular rumors think the Browns will take an Offensive Lineman and a Wide Receiver with those selections. Are the rumors true? Come and join us to find out.

I received interest in setting up a Mock Draft Contest so we will do this two (2) ways.

1) On IOS, download the free app PickPool or on Android go to the website https://pickpool.app/. After you set-up your free account (just name and email), there are two tabs at the top of the Homepage: 'Sponsored' and "Private.'

Click 'Private' and Search for "Raleigh Browns Backers." The password to get in is "M1chigansucks".

This is completely free to do. The contest tracks 'Player Name,' 'Position,' and 'Team.' This will calculate the points for us and assign a winner. Everyone can have a max of two (2) entries. So please take the 10-15 minutes to do a mock draft (with trades) and let's see who comes out on top.

2) Completely Optional: If you want to add a little spice to the contest, come to Sophie's in-person and bring $5. We will put together a little side pool and the winner(s) of the in-person side game will take home a little extra cash.

If you are looking for some good podcasts about the NFL Draft, Todd McShay has a good one on The Ringer. Also, the NFL Stock Exchange (NFLSE) is highly entertaining. Both are on Spotify or (probably) wherever you listen to things. Other Mock Drafts are widely available on ESPN, The Ringer, CBS Sports, Bleacher Report, ect.

Happy draft season everyone and I hope to see you all tomorrow at Sophie's!!

The 2026 season starts now!
