The Cleveland Rams were the 1945 NFL champs and then they moved to L.A. for the '46 season. And then, one of the last perfect things to happen in Cleveland sports: the Browns joined the NFL in '50 and beat the Rams on Christmas Day for the championship that same year. It just can't get much better than that! (although '64 came close)

That I didn't know. Even better that my Browns slapped them in 1950 for leaving. ;-)

You've been an historian today, Chi-town. Thanx.

I've got a "throwback" Cleveland Rams jacket (to go with my Browns stuff). College football was bigger than the pros then and they didn't think they'd be able to compete for attention with a team run by Paul Brown.
