Cleveland Browns: It is time for any holdout fans to re-embrace Earnest Byner

To the rest of the sports world, Cleveland is still defined by Red Right 88, The Shot, The Drive and, of course, The Fumble.

What is often forgotten, however, is the context behind each of these tragic events, and the players who made even falling just short a possibility.

Of course, every Browns fan knows that it was Earnest Byner who fumbled inside the five-yard line at Mile High Stadium in the 1987 AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos. Everyone knows that the Browns were just one win away from their first-ever Super Bowl appearance, and that they had come almost all the way back in the game.
