This fucking sucks
this makes me sad. his calls are stuff of legend
i hope the browns can do something like Jim Strong shirts/merch that proceeds can go to the charity of Jim’s choosing
I’m fucking heartbroken
Noooooooooooooooooooooo 😞
Well this is the 2nd worst Jim Donovan news possible. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.
The game of football just got a lot worse today. Get well soon Jim, the fans, the city of Cleveland and the world loves you.
Kick cancer’s ass Jim.
Cancer sucks, man. Sundays won’t feel the same
Awful news, Jim is a legend. Fuck cancer, hope Jim can beat that bastard once again, and browns radio play-by-play will never be the same
at a total loss for words
ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
now this is not the news I wanted ðŸ˜
One of the best to ever do it. When I think about the browns I hear his voice
I’m so sick rn
This is the worst 😠I went to camp as a kid with his daughter Meghan and they are are the best most kind people.
Jim can’t catch a break this is awful, I was upset hes not calling the games but even more upset when I found out why.
This absolutely sucks. Sucks that he’ll never call the Browns winning Super Bowl. Just devastating that the cancer is back and it does not sound great. Thoughts and prayers go out to the best play by play man in the NFL
Life isn’t fair. I thought he sounded off during the preseason but wrote it off due to him not being on TV anymore and needing to warm himself up. Wishful thinking, really. I’m so sad.Â
Edit: needs to be in the ring of honor.Â
Damn
Sad as fuck. A damn legend forever and always.
Nooooooooooo wishing him the absolute best. Legend.
Are you fucking kidding me
Damn I’m for real fighting back tears. He’s been the voice of the Browns my entire life as a fan. There were many times throughout high school and college where I had to work Sundays and I would have headphones in listening to Jimmy. His voice feels like family, I wish him and his family the best with the continued fight and pray for his peace and comfort
GOAT. Thanks to him for everything. I hope he is able to fight on and enjoy the time with his family. Sucks to hear him hang it up but it is all our time eventually. <3
Reminds of losing Fred McLeod Cavs games just aren’t as good without him.
Had the pleasure of meeting Jim once upon a time. Unbelievably kind human being.
I don’t care if he never calls another game. I just want him to be healthy.
Ring of Honor. Nov. 21. Browns need to make that happen.
This absolutely breaks my heart.
Love you Jim. Beat this.
Seems with the how swift this announcement was and how he plainly states he’s done calling Browns games, it really does feel like he’s not doing well at all. And unfortunately might not have much time left. This is so awful
Heartbreaking. Seeing clips with his voice in them all these years was always so comforting in a way.
If the Browns somehow make it to the Super Bowl this year, they HAVE to let Jim Donovan do the play-by-play. If he’s up for it of course.
Well I didn’t expect to sit at my desk and cry but here we are.
This breaks my heart. I really hope he can kick cancer’s ass and be around for a Brown’s Super Bowl. He deserves it the most
Being a Browns fan has its ups and downs. But through all that, Jimmy D has always been a constant source of pure joy. Nothing gets me hyped for this team like listening to Jim. There’s a reason they put his voice on just about every highlight clip they post online. This hurts, but Jim deserves to spend time with his family. Take all my energy for a successful recovery, you absolute treasure.
