In NFL news, Cleveland fired GM Sashi Brown. So the Browns are less Brown — call them the Cleveland Beiges.

    1. They lost a heart-breaker on the weekend. They should have beaten the Pack.

  2. Will someone please tell my wife that the original Cleveland BROWNS star player was Jimmy BROWN, and the coach was Paul BROWN? She thinks I'm making it up.

    1. I can back you up on that .... Paul Brown was the original coach — and the team's namesake — when it formed in 1946. They joined the NFL in 1950, and reached the championship every year up to 1955, winning three times.

      Jim Brown joined the team in 1957 (Wiki) and was an instant all-star. In 1961, Art Modell bought the team. He fired Paul Brown before the 1963 season, but the team continued to win behind running back Jim Brown.
