| - The Browns-Steelers rivalry is one of the most storied rivalries in the NFL. The rivalry has been called locally the Turnpike Rivalry, due to the two cities being connected via the Pennsylvania and Ohio Turnpikes. The Browns and Steelers first met in 1950, the Browns' first in the NFL after dominating the AAFC. At 114 meetings and counting, it is the oldest rivalry in the AFC.
- In 1965, James "Walnuts" Brown was born to Maya Angelou and Hulk Hogan, the product of a long, tumultuous relationship consisting of arm wrestling, raw beet sandwiches and Cleveland Steamers. Later that year, he turned 25 and conquered Syracuse. During his exit interview from the Big East (which actually wasn't formed for another 14 years, but don't tell him that), he reaffirmed his lifelong dream of assembling fifty-five grocery-baggers against their will, handing them a freshly killed mammal (implanted with an innertube and stitched together with delicious licorice ropes) and measuring how long it took them to run forty yards. Young, bold and innocent, he took the first boat to tropical Cleveland to build upon its lush history of rich, mountainous terrain, radical and empowering political upheavals and revolutionary technological advancements. Upon his arrival, he promptly shotgunned a keg of Great Lakes Christmas Ale, unzipped his fly and extinguished the Cuyahoga River, exclaiming, "Gentleman, it's foosball time." Cleveland, being far from a blue-collar industrial town, was quite eccentric and full of characters. From miles around, ninjas, carnies, wolfmen, zebras, area mayors and PTA heads emerged to witness the spectacle. As if mesmerized by the entire event, one by one, they enlisted in Brown's troupe. Legend has it that the first football was made from the hide of a man who suggested the group be called the Fancy Dancy Rainbow Sparklers. "Bullshit! We'll name it after me," Brown said, and promptly killed and skinned him with a torque wrench. Brown's Army, as it came to be known, thus began trapsing through the countryside, overusing the fullback, calling draw plays on third and long and earning compliments like, "gritty" and "old school." Later that year, Brown died in an epic hand grenade fight with a band of gypsies wielding bright yellow handkerchiefs calling themselves the "Thieves of Pittsville". Brown had been caught off-guard by their genuinely effeminate behavior (they had been known to don the handkerchiefs about their necks and speak with lisps in the offseason). Unbeknownst to him, they had a formidable defense and a heroic, if slightly simple, field general.
- The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. They are currently members of the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The team began play in 1946 as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and joined the NFL in 1950 when the leagues merged. The Browns were the AAFC's most successful franchise, and were one of only three teams to join the NFL following the merger. In 1995, after nearly 50 years in Cleveland, then owner Art Modell announced his intention to move the team to Baltimore, Maryland, initiating a relocation controversy that led to legal action. The legal action resulted in a unique compromise: Modell would keep the Browns' existing player and staff contracts, but his team officially would be a new franchise; this team is now known as the Baltimore Ravens. The Browns name, history, and archives would remain in Cleveland, and a new Browns team began play in 1999 after a three-year period of "deactivation". Cleveland has won a total of eight league championships. They won all four AAFC titles (including a 15-0 undefeated season in 1948), and after joining the NFL won four additional championships prior to the league's merger with the American Football League (AFL) in 1970. Following the merger, the Browns were one of three NFL teams which joined the ten former AFL teams to form the new American Football Conference. Despite having the sixth-highest winning percentage of all NFL franchises, the Browns have not played in a league championship game since the merger; however, they have competed for the AFC Championship three times. Having lost all three games, along with two NFL Championship Games of the Super Bowl era prior to the merger (in 1968 and 1969), Cleveland is one of four NFL teams that has yet to reach the Super Bowl. Furthermore, Cleveland has never hosted a Super Bowl, making it the only NFL city to have neither hosted nor sent a team to the Super Bowl.
