another great Phipps days to go
An argument can be made that he was part of the worst and best trades in Browns history.
The trade to bring him in cost us Paul Warfield, the trade to get rid of him brought us Ozzie Newsome.

An argument can also be made that he totally screwed up the 1972 playoff game in Miami. 9 of 23 with 5 interceptions in a 20-14 loss ?.
Little did I know at the time that this would become kind of "normal" as a Browns fan.

I should say the name "Mike Phipps" in front of my dad and record the look on his face, and post it on here.
It would not be a cheery look.

He definitely had talent & a strong arm, just never lived up to the hype.

Now that we are in the Cleveland BROWNS teen numbers one that I don't want to see missed -at- # 12 Mr Don Cockroft.
Donald Lee Cockroft (born February 6, 1945) is an American former professional football player who was a punter and placekicker for 13 seasons with the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL). He has the third most career points for a Brown behind fellow kickers Phil Dawson (second) and Lou Groza.
Cockroft served as the Browns' primary punter and placekicker for the first nine seasons of his career. In 1977, he dropped punting from his duties and became solely a placekicker. He and Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker/punter Dave Green were two of the last NFL players to lead their teams in both punting and kicking in the same season (1976).
He was involved in the January 4, 1981, American Football Conference divisional play-off game versus the Oakland Raiders. Cockroft missed field goals from 47 and 30-yards in the second quarter. The Browns scored a touchdown on a 42-yard interception by Ron Bolton with 6:02 left in the second quarter, but the extra point attempt by Cockroft was blocked. Cleveland would lose the game 14-12, a game which is nicknamed Red Right 88.
Later NFL players to have this dual role were Steve Little of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1979, Russell Erxleben of the New Orleans Saints briefly in 1979 and 1980, and Frank Corral for the Los Angeles Rams in 1980 and 1981.
