Paul Brown was an owner of the Cleveland Browns plus he was the head coach as well. Then one day, good ole Art decided that Paul Brown was no longer needed as part of the Browns organization and fired him. Ever since, the Cleveland Browns have been total garbage and that's when the "Brown Curse" started.
Anything to do with the Brown name has been cursed.
The Cleveland Browns left Cleveland, moved to Baltimore, changed their name to the Ravens and won two Super Bowls since. Coincidence? I think not.
The new Cleveland Browns, after getting another franchise has been completely broken and there is no light at the end of their tunnel. They kept the name and are screwed.
Paul Brown started and new NFL franchise in Cincinnati but the team has yet to win a Super Bowl. While they have had success by getting to two Super Bowls, the "Brown Curse" was in full swing to deny our beloved team those wins.
Once Mike Brown retires and Katie Blackburn takes over, the curse will be broken and we fans of the Cincinnati Bengals will enjoy multiple Super Bowl victories.
Of course knowing our luck, Mike Brown will transfer ownership over to Paul Brown and the curse will continue for years and years and decades and decades.
I am on the same wavelength. I saw the other day that Cleveland is the city with three pro sports franchises (baseball, basketball, football) and the longest stretch w/o a championship for any of them. It was in a thing on ESPN called "Believeland." I only caught a snippet, but I thought when Modell fired Brown the city of Cleveland was cursed.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
