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.

~ ANOTHER ~ BROWNS' player and yes a KICKER who wore the ... # 9 the LONGEST period was here for NINE YEARS and with other teams too. ... Mr MATT BAHR . He also comes from a kicking family.
SUMMARY. Career. G. 235 AV. 39 FGM 300 FGA. 415 XPM. 522. XPA, 534Career history - Pittsburgh Steelers (1979–1980)
- San Francisco 49ers (1981)
- ● Cleveland Browns (1981–1989) <--▪︎
- New York Giants (1990–1992)
- Philadelphia Eagles (1993)
- New England Patriots (1993–1995)
▪︎ In 1979, he was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round of the 1979 NFL draft. His brother Chris Bahr followed a similar career path. Over his career, which spanned from 1979 to 1995, he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the San Francisco 49ers, the ● Cleveland Browns, the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots. As a rookie, he won a Super Bowl ring with the Steelers in Super Bowl XIV. In 1981, Bahr signed with the 49ers, but was. ● traded to the Cleveland Browns midway through the season, thus missing out on a second Super Bowl ring (the 49ers went on the win the Super Bowl that year). After discovering he had been traded, Bahr left a note on his San Francisco locker stating, "See you in the Super Bowl. While this did not happen (the Browns went 5–11 in 1981), Bahr did get some retribution against his former team when he kicked a game winning field goal to give the Browns a 15–12 victory over San Francisco in week 11.
● His longest tenure was with the Browns where he played for. NINE YEARS. and was cut during the 1990 preseason. In late September of that season he was picked up by the New York Giants after a repetitious injury to Raul Allegre. He is best remembered for his performance in the 1990 NFC Championship Game on January 20, 1991, as he set an NFC Championship Game record with five field goals (including a 42-yarder as time expired) to lift the Giants past the 49ers 15–13. He also kicked what would prove to be the decisive field goal in Super Bowl XXV on January 27, 1991, as the Giants beat the Buffalo Bills 20–19, also recording a tackle on the opening kickoff.
Bahr played the final seasons of his career with the New England Patriots. In 1996, rookie kicker Adam Vinatieri beat him out for the starting kicker spot on the team, and he decided to retire after being cut by Patriots during the preseason
Bahr held the record for longest span for a player between Super Bowl victories at 11 years, until Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens went 12 years from Super Bowl XXXV in 2001 to Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.
Bahr finished his 17 seasons with 300 of 415 field goals and 522 of 534 extra points. Overall, he scored a total of 1,422 points.
At the time of his retirement, Bahr was the last active NFL player that played for the Steelers in at least one of their four Super Bowl wins in the 1970s. Coincidentally, his last year in the NFL saw the Steelers return to the Super Bowl that season in Super Bowl XXX, their first Super Bowl appearance since his rookie season.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!
