Whenever the Cleveland Browns play the Oakland Raiders, the painful memory of Red Right 88 resurfaces. It’s time to put that painful memory to bed. Yes, the Browns lost a tough one, but football has more tough losses than championship wins, and anyway it was the RIGHT PLAY CALL and Oakland just played better than the Browns did.
For those who are too young to recall, the Browns hosted Al Davis’ Raidahs for the AFC semifinal game in subzero snowy conditions in old Cleveland Stadium. It was one of the coldest games in NFL history, with 20 mph winds, and a wind chill of -20 degrees at game time, and it got worse as the game went on.
