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." The football team was 1-15 last season and 0-15 this year ahead of Sunday's finale at Pittsburgh. Even so, Stark's obituary included a nugget of the optimism voiced by some long-suffering fans. It says the 80-year-old Mansfield native "passed just before the Browns were prepared to turn the corner."

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.

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

Fourth down in overtime and he passed.

Fumbled into his final resting place. Fumbled like Ernest Byner.

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.

At least Paul Stark completed his passing.

Yet another reason to stop patronizing the NFL. 8>)
In my opinion they are all losers anyway though.

"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.
