During their time in the AAFC, the Browns championships didn’t mean anything to NFL teams any more than the Packers’ championships meant anything to them. Comparing the two is meaningless because they did not compete on the same platform.
Gotcha, remember my original image ...
8 Professional Championships to 6 Professional Championships.
Each Championship is of the highest level.
We are not talking about how for example the ABA World Champions New York Nets in 1976, but their first year 1977 in the NBA won 22 games and came in last place and was the doormat for many years in the NBA. That proved the Nets and the ABA teams were inferior and so were the ABA titles.
These were your ignorant words remember ...
"Only four of the Browns’ championships came in the NFL. The other four came in the AAFC. "
Again, my words are that the Browns have 8 Professional Championships. But just not any Championships as you stated CFL Toronto has 17 Championships, but in three times vs the NFL in pre-season games, they got spanked. The NY Nets just won an ABA Championship and they got spanked the whole year when they joined the NBA. Meanwhile, the Browns did the spanking when they first joined the NFL so much that many of their Hall of Famers are based on the years they dominated the league.
But here to finally shut your trap is a reference and quote from the book that I highlighted. I am not the author of the book, but look who makes the last quote...
When Cleveland entered the NFL in 1950, questions lingered about whether the team could sustain its early dominance. The Browns, however, began the season by beating the defending NFL champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. Dante Lavelli recalls, "The game I'll never forget is the first game we played in the National Football League. We beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 35-10. We went back to Cleveland the next day and waiting for us was something else we could be proud of. The press has asked Bert Bell, commissioner of the NFL, what he thought of the game. 'The Browns are the greatest football club I ever saw,' he said."
Now should I continue to read and believe your biased garbage or the NFL, not AAFC my ignorant friend, but NFL Commissioner who
stated loud and clear DAY ONE 1950 regular season who was the GREATEST Team he ever saw, this was before their multiple Championships in the NFL. I expect some weak retort by you, but I will rest my case with the NFL Commissioner rather than a disgruntled biased blogger.
