    Dunno if this has been done, but it made me smile. True story BTW.

    A long-time Cleveland Browns fan died recently. His last request was that 6 members of the Browns act as pallbearers at his funeral.

    For those of you who don't know the NFL, Cleveland is just like Sunderland; fine history up to the 1960s, not so hot since.

    The reason he wanted the pallbearers was so that the Browns could let him down one last time :)

    RIP true fan <ok>

    If we win something in the next year or two, even if it's a bit of respect as a team, I'll die of a heart attack myself. Never has my expectation been so high. Come on August!!!!!
