One that got away: Browns “biggest mistake” goes back further than you might imagine

Asking a Cleveland Browns fan what the worst thing the team has ever done is like asking a parent who is their favorite child. If they are honest, they have one but each has its own special emotion tied to it.

For recent Browns fans, since The Return, draft picks, head coaching and front office hires or Jimmy Haslam buying the team might top the list. For the more middle-aged Cleveland fans, the move, moving on from Bernie Kosar, Red Right 88, The Fumble or The Drive might pop up.

For those that have been around the longest, the fight with Paul Brown that led to his departure, Art Modell buying the team, Jim Brown’s early retirement and a number of other decisions still haunt their memories.
