The date was December 10, 1989, and the Cincinnati Bengals were hosting the Seattle Seahawks in a regular-season contest. At the height of the game, Bengals fans began throwing snowballs and other objects onto the field.
The Seahawks were deep in their own territory and refused to continue play until the field could be cleared. In response, Cincinnati head coach Sam Wyche got on the public address system and, in an effort to help get the fans under control, said, “You don’t live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati!”
Well, the Browns didn’t live in Cleveland for much longer after that.
