The Browns are Confused (continued)...
In addition to the reasons already listed on the chili website (www.chicagofootballchili.com), here is more evidence that the Cleveland Browns are confused...
The team name defies logic. Many people believe that they are named for their first GM and head coach Paul Brown. They are not.
Other people think it may have something to do with NFL legend and pop culture icon Jim Brown, who was the heart and soul of the Cleveland Browns from 1957-1970. Wrong again.
No, the Browns were named after the winning entry in a "Name the Team" contest. The winning entry was "The Brown Bombers" (not the Browns), after boxing (not football) champ Joe Louis, who naturally was from Alabama (not Ohio).
Nuff said.
