Is it too late to give the Browns’ name, its colors, and history back to Baltimore?
When Art Modell sold the city of Cleveland down the river and moved the Browns to Baltimore, Clevelanders clamoured to keep the Browns’ name and create a new Browns out of…well, what would become a bunch of misfits led by poor schlep Chris Palmer in 1999.
After Sunday’s 34-3 humiliating annihilation at the hands of the former Browns, it is time to consider the 2009 Browns the latest group of misfits, and call the total new Browns a failed experiment.
But where to go from here?
Another trenchant view. I particularly like the quote in the sidebar, “Until further notice, the Cleveland Browns have become the franchise where quarterbacks go to see their careers die.”
