Jim Donovan, the Voice of the Browns, is Gone, but Never Forgotten
It’s a tough one to swallow, folks. Jim Donovan, the iconic voice of the Cleveland Browns, has passed away. He was a legend in the booth, known for his passion, his humor, and his deep connection to the team and the city.
Donovan’s voice was synonymous with Browns football for over 20 years. He started his career with the team in 1996, calling games alongside the legendary, and sometimes grumpy, "Mr. Browns," Bernie Kosar. He was a true professional, always prepared and ready to call the game, no matter the circumstances.
More than just a play-by-play announcer, Donovan became a friend, a confidant, and a cheerleader for the Browns and their fans. He understood the ups and downs of Cleveland sports, the frustration, the hope, the sheer joy of victory. He was a voice of reason and optimism, reminding us why we love this team, even when things are tough.
Donovan's passing leaves a huge void in the Browns family. He wasn't just an announcer, he was a part of the team, a part of the city. He'll be sorely missed by fans, players, coaches, and everyone who knew him.
Remember Jim Donovan for his infectious enthusiasm, his quick wit, and his dedication to the Browns. He was a true professional and a true Cleveland fan. He’ll be missed, but his legacy as the voice of the Browns will live on.
