Death by football.

[C19fan]

I remember a Browns fan made a request for the pall bearers at his funeral to be Browns players so they can let him down one last time.

[WayneS]

Someone had a sense of humor.

[Enchante]

I am not anticipating my death anytime soon, but if were to happen I hope my obituary can blame it on Colon Krapperdick and his treasonous kneelers ruining enjoyment of my favorite sport!!

[Kickass Conservative]

Like many Cub Fans until the miracle on turf.

[Lurkinanloomin]

There is life after football.
I gave it up last year after 50 years and did not even miss it this year.

I’m old enough to remember Jim Brown. *sigh*

The obituary published in the Sandusky Register says Paul Stark, of Huron, died Wednesday at a hospice facility after a brief illness "exacerbated by the hopeless condition of the Cleveland Browns."

His obit did NOT blame a "winless season".

Aren't the Browns one of the worst anti-American teams now?
This guy could have been a veteran or LEO.

[windsorknot]

At least Paul Stark completed his passing.

[Robert DeLong]

Yet another reason to stop patronizing the NFL. 8>)

In my opinion they are all losers anyway though.

[DoodleDawg]

"passed just before the Browns were prepared to turn the corner."

They could have put that in his obituary had he lived to be 90.

[Jim W N]

“Die-hard fan”.

[NRx]

I’ve always been more of a baseball guy. That said, I can empathize as my team is the Mets. :-(

[Mr_Moonlight]

Not to belittle Mr. Stark's passing, but seriously, was his death really just because of a stoopit Football team ???

I've often ranted about the idiotic "Football Mentality" many times on these boards, and this story is yet another example of some of the eye-rolling moronic 'anecdotes' that seems to come from the Football world so often ... and it isn't even funny, the poor guy is dead, most likely from natural causes and NOT just because his favorite Football team kinda sorta sucks ... SHEESH !!!

Otherwise, on a more humanistic note; Rest in Peace, Mr. Paul Stark ... surely you had a good life and accomplished many things in your life outside of watching NFL Football ...

1-31 W L record over 2 years.Sounds like the Browns coach does not even bother coming out of the locker room let alone stand for the anthem. How does this guy keep his job? Is he a union coach?

[VietVet876]

I’m old enough to remember Lou Groza. When I’m playing golf for money, an opponent will sometimes top the ball off the tee with his driver sending the ball bouncing into the ground and rolling a few yards up the fairway. I call that a Groza. After Lou’s famous ability to drop kick field goals.

There is a radical treatment for Browns fans in advanced years. At 80 years old, I would prescribe a 23" Admiral, Zenith or Philco console, change the calendars to 1964, and obtain the highest quality videos of the Jim Brown and Frank Ryan led 1964 Cleveland Browns.

Play them starting with game one, all through the NFL Championship game, where the Colts with Johnny Unitas get steamrollered 27-0. Provide reporductions of period magazines and newspapers. If the poor soul mentions the team going winless, suggest it was a bad dream. Discourage him from watching entertainment programming other than the Browns. Those Brits with the girly haircuts and all their yeah-yeah-yeah is all that's on, anyway.

For a 90 year old, similar treament with the 1950 of 1954 Browns may be more efficacious, and you may get by with just a radio.
