What Thomas Brings
We know Thomas wears his heart on his sleeve regarding his love of the Browns.
He also brings expert knowledge of the X’s and O’s of the game.
Thomas is very fair and is not afraid to point out where the Browns falter.
He gleefully reacted to the news that he will be on the preseason broadcasts.
“It gives me chills just thinking about being back in Cleveland and being able to call the Browns’ preseason games. This team, this city and these fans have all had a huge impact on my life, and being paired with a veteran broadcaster like Tom McCarthy just adds to the excitement. The Browns accomplished some great things last year, and I’m looking forward to being there as they build on that success for 2021.”
