Help Phil Taylor Support West, Texas Victims
Cleveland Browns defensive lineman Phil Taylor has reached out to the Browns Backers community to help support the community in West Texas that was victimized by an explosion at a fertilizer plant which killed 15 people. Taylor is asking supporters to purchase a “We are West, Texas” – full proceeds will go to help those affected by tragedy.
T-shirts can be purchased on this website – and when they are delivered, Taylor said fans can send him their messages of support via his Twitter account, @PhilTaylor98. “When you get your shirt, just Tweet it to me so I can re-tweet it and put #WeAreWestTexas” Taylor said.
For every shirt purchased, a name will be placed into our drawing to win one of the following prizes:
- 2 Club seats to the Cleveland Browns vs. Bengals Game
- Autographed Authentic Browns Jersey
- Autographed Authentic Browns Helmet
- Some other possible prizes to be determined at the date of the raffle

Travel Channel Partners With Cleveland Browns and NFL Films
The Travel Channel has partnered with NFL Films and the Cleveland Browns on a new series that pulls back the curtain on the current 2012 season in “NFL Road Tested: The Cleveland Browns,” premiering on Tuesday, December 4 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT
From the Travel Channel:
The NFL will provide unprecedented access to Travel Channel to unveil never-before-seen footage of what it takes to travel an entire professional football team from city to city, game to game, during the regular season. Every road trip requires a massive amount of coordination to haul the 150-person squad 20,000 miles a season. From feeding six-tons of men, to clothing and housing them, to how a stadium prepares and deals with more than 70,000 rabid fans, Travel Channel’s cameras are there to capture this massive undertaking.
In addition, viewers will see how the Cleveland Browns prepare each week through the eyes of the players and team management, including new owner Jimmy Haslam. They can expect to learn more about the history behind deeply-rooted team rivalries and other notable insights not typically covered in game-coverage news. Episodes will focus around the weeks leading up to games played against the New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers.
