Because Cleveland smells like sheet.

Because "THE SMITH'S" was already taken ??

In 1945, Arthur McBride brought the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) team to Cleveland. He ran a newspaper contest to name the team and offered the winner a $1,000 war bond. Many entries suggested the name "Browns" after Head Coach Paul Brown, but Coach Brown felt it wasn't "proper" to name the team after himself. Instead, the winning suggestion was the Panthers. However, there was a semi-pro team called the Cleveland Panthers in the '20s, and the owner still had the rights to the name. So, Coach Brown reluctantly agreed to name the team the Browns.

Son, I can remember when there were no negroes in football. Now NFL stands for Negroe Football League.

Should have never let on be a QB.

Exactly- QB, backup safety, replacement referee, guy holding 1st down marker, & water boy.
The sky's the limit for the young man if he wants an NFL career before he becomes an IT engineer (only future job available besides changing bedpans, janitorial, & working at pawnshop).
