Browns Legend Phil Dawson Named To Browns Legend Class of 2024
Phil Dawson became a legend for the Cleveland Browns. He survived some of the worst years in Browns football and was one of the shining moments through it all.
He was beloved by the fanbase and that was thanks in large part to his ability to consistently split the uprights. As we have all found out in the post-Dawson era, good kickers are few and far between.
On Tuesday, the kicker took to X to express his gratitude for this honor. He said, “I am incredibly humbled to join the Browns Legends class of 2024. Playing for you was one of the greatest joys of my life. I can’t wait to be with you in September!”
For his 14 seasons in Cleveland, Dawson is being named to the Browns’ Legends Class of 2024 , joining the likes of Joe Thomas (’22), Josh Cribbs (’20), Eric Metcalf (’08), and Earnest Byner (’06). The full list can be seen here.
In Dawson’s Cleveland career, he made 84 percent of his kicks while being one of the few kickers to solve the kicking equation that was kicking into the Dawg Pound. Dawson was 212-224 on kicks inside 40 yards but was less consistent over 40 yards.
Dawson is second on the Browns’ all-time points list with a career total of 1,271, trailing just Lou Groza who finished his career with 1,349. His crowning achievement came from the blizzard game in 2007 against the Buffalo Bills. Dawson made two field goals in Cleveland’s 8-0 victory on a day when neither team could run or throw the football.
The Browns will honor Dawson in their week three matchup against the New York Giants on September 22.

Elyria native wins Federal Duck Stamp for third time: NE Ohio fishing report
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Waterfowl artists have flourished in Ohio over the years, but none have matched the talent and success of Elyria native Adam Grimm, 46. He won an unprecedented third Federal Duck Stamp Contest this week, topping 239 entries in the 2024 edition of the prestigious event.
All waterfowl hunters in the U.S. are required to purchase the Federal stamp, which debuts in 2025. Ohio hunters must also buy an Ohio Wetland Stamp, a stamp art contest Grimm won in 2005, 2014 and 2021.
Grimm, who lives in Wallace, South Dakota, with his wife Janet and four children, returns to the Cleveland area to visit friends, family and fellow waterfowl hunters and attend the Ohio Decoy Carvers and Collectors Show in the Cleveland area each March, which he still calls his “hometown art show.” Restored Northwest Ohio wetlands honoring him include the Adam Grimm Marsh on the Sandusky Bay shoreline and the Adam Grimm Prairie wetlands at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge on the shores of Lake Erie.
Duck hunting begins
The regular waterfowl hunting seasons begin in Ohio on Saturday, Oct. 12, in the Lake Erie Marsh Zone. The North and South waterfowl hunting zones begin Saturday, Oct. 19. For details visit wildohio.gov.
Anglers wary of weekend weather
Meteorologist Ross Ellet in Toledo doesn’t have good news a fun weekend of fishing is coming up on Lake Erie. After looking at the path of Hurricane Helene, which was expected to hit the Big Bend area of the Florida Coast last night, Ellet forecast strong Helene winds will make it to Ohio, pushing Lake Erie winds and waves from Buffalo to Toledo. Gusts could be near 50 miles per hour over open water, boosting waters levels and creating waves near 10 feet in the Western Basin.
Steelhead trout anglers optimistic
The rain, no matter how slight, and the cooler weather along the Lake Erie shoreline has given the steelhead trout fishing a boost. Anglers casting heavy spoons around Cleveland Harbor have reported excellent catches with Little Cleo and KO Wobbler spoons, or with in-line spinners like the Rooster Tail and Vibrax.
Trout are also moving into the harbor areas along the Lake Erie shoreline, and rising waters and cool rains should give them an urge to head into the lower stretches of the Rocky, Chagrin and Grand rivers.
The 30th Steelhead Expo is Saturday
The sponsoring Ohio Central Basin Steelheaders and the Cleveland Metroparks are proud of the longevity of the popular free Steelhead Expo, which returns to the Rocky River Nature Center, 24000 Valley Pkwy., North Olmsted. The fishing show is from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
Fishing vendors at the show include: Cast Crew Outdoors, Chagrin River Outfitters, Cleveland Fishing Company, Dunkin’ Down Floats, FishUSA, Furball Baits, Lake Erie Kayak Fishing with Chuck Earls, Lamiglas Fishing Rods, Orvis Crocker Park, River Roe, Steelhead Manifesto, Steelhead Stuff and VooDoo Custom Tackle.
They will be joined by a variety of conservation groups and fishing clubs. Be sure to buy Ohio Central Basin Steelheads raffle tickets, which help support Cleveland Metroparks fishing events. The drawing will be held after the show closes. There will be eight steelhead trout seminars during the show, from advanced jig fishing to spey fishing, float fishing and fly tying.
Fish the Cleveland Metroparks
The public lakes around the Cleveland Metroparks are giving up some game fish right now, including catfish, largemouth bass and bluegills at Wallace, Ledge and Shadow lakes and Beyer’s Pond.
The Ohio & Erie Canal reservation ponds will be stocked with rainbow trout and channel catfish in a couple of weeks to get ready for the Family Fishing Fest on Saturday, Oct. 12 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. A limited number of loaner fishing rods will be available, and there will be prizes for big fish caught by kids 15 and under.
