Umadogg Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 No, I believe he hated modell. That's cool by me! I'm sure he hated Modell the most but you guys keep reminding about the way Paul Browns first Bengals teams wore colors and uniforms that both mimicked and mocked your team. Seems like he hated everything about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, yea, it would be rough to have to go up against a team that supposedly bears your name while you are on the opposite sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brnfan16 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I live an hour away from Cinci and there are more scumbag Steeler fans than Bengals fans. Bengals have the most fairweather fanbase in all of sports. Im with you Vapor Trail. I live close to Dayton, Ohio maybe 50 miles from Cincy. The Who-dies have the worst fans Ive ever seen. When there winning everyone is wareing there new stuff from the Mall with the tags still on them, or there wearing old crap from the 80,s that smells like mothballs. I see Brownies all over win or lose. When the Bingles lose you won't find a fan wearing their colors for a 100 mile radius. Such is the life of the Fairweather fan and of the team with worst record in all of the NFL for the 20th Century. Browns 27 - Who-whos 21...

tarzanbrown Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Considering the progenitor of both franchises were the same man, wouldn't all of Cleveland's ancient history accomplishments be considered those of the Cleveland PreBengals?

Ok, let's start the list... There's the....wait...no, not that.... Then there's the, the uhh, uhh.... Well, crap, never mind....forget I said anything.

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Again, you try to be flippant, but you will actually learn a history lesson. There are actually 2 theories about how the Browns got their name. Originally the Cleveland AAFC team was suggested to be called The Panthers I believe. But Paul Brown wanted no part of that name because an earlier Cleveland Panther team in one of the early AFL versions, was a bad team, so he didn't want that name. Then someone, perhaps Mickey McBride, suggested that the name be called The Browns. (if you know your sports history you would know that there was actually a team called the St. Louis Browns in major league baseball. It was called that for over 50 years until it moved and today is known as The Baltimore Orioles). But McBride suggested that the name be in honor of Paul Brown himself. But PB said "no, I don't want that". So, instead, McBride said "let's name them The Browns in honor of Joe Louis, the "Brown Bomber", the heavyweight champion at the time. So PB said "sure, I can live with that". But of course he said it with a wink. He was egotistical enough to want the team have his name, but he just didn't want to be so crass as to admit it. So, basically, you can say the Browns are named after Joe Louis.....or after Paul Brown, whichever theory you want to buy. However, there is an issue with the Joe Louis theory....that issue is similar to what is going on with the controversy over the Redskins name....that being that if the Browns are to be named in honor of Joe Louis, "the Brown Bomber", you are essentially saying that they are the "Cleveland Negroes" or the Cleveland African-Americans...or worse. Joe Louis was the Brown Bomber because his skin color was brown. People don't bring that fact up, or make a big deal of it, but, there it is. The most recent biography of Brown I purchased dismisses the Brown Bomber theory and states that the real reason is because, while they were in limbo after PB's rejection of the Panthers moniker, a newspaper article ran with the caption "Cleveland's Fightin' Browns" or something of that ilk. When they had the next round of votes, the name "Cleveland Browns" had already stuck, much to PB's dismay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe PB and his biographer dismiss it, but the fact is that theory is still out there. Like I said....I don't think the Browns having his name was to his dismay....secretly, he just didn't want to appear crass. If Paul Brown didn't want the team to be named The Browns, they would NOT have been named The Browns. Pure and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far you have reaped what you have sown. If you all are going to be douchebags, then we will merely supply the water and cleansing solution. Yea....two weeks ago Brown fans are talking about first pick in draft, then win one game against lowly Vikings and your talking playoffs.....real intelligent!
