Corey Coleman Participated in Beating

Didn't like the Coleman pick.
Thought he had a so so rookie season.
Once again another Browns player putting himself in a shit situation regardless of the outcome.

O never said the Browns were named after Jb you dick fuck.
They were named after Joe Louis
I don't know if you said Jim Brown or Joe Louis....but if you said Joe Louis, my some reputable sources you would be right...the most reputable of all being Paul Brown.
So, they were either named after Paul Brown....or they were named after Joe Louis. If Joe Louis, then the "Browns" name is a direct racial reference.
So....what have we in this town: one team named after a racial group (Indians). Another team named after another racial group (Browns), and a team named after gentlemen trained in arms and horsemanship who were adherents of King Charles I of England (who by the way had his head cut off by his enemies)

I never said the Browns were named after Jim Brown. Once in jest I said they were named after "Jim Browns". Those with an IQ of greater than 60 realized I was trolling for the idiots who would lash out and say....Ha Ha....Ghoolie doesn't know that it is JIM BROWN and not Jim Browns. Kind of like my posting that Eric Heiden was our greatest TE.
My Dad was an aficionado of all things Brown. He always maintained that the Browns were named after Joe Louis, the Detroit Brown Bomber. As you point out, there are quite a few historians who agree with that account. This account of course upsets many Browns fans as it shakes their image of the great Paul Brown.
If you read about Arthur McBride, the logic does not follow that he named the team after Paul Brown. He most certainly did not. He named the team after Joe Louis. The team for a short time was called the Cleveland Brown Bombers, and then Shortened to, "The Browns."
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -
The Joe Louis story is just about as believable as saying the Browns were named after the lead character in the peanuts comic-strip.

Believable or not, it is true. There is no way that a millionaire like McBride was going to name HIS team after a subordinate. That is what is not believable Steve. It would be like Art Modell naming his team the Martys. It just doesn't follow any logic. Ohio loves Paul Brown, but the team was named after Joe Louis.

Cleveland Browns own early history validates that McBride named the team after Joe Louis....The Brown Bomber.
Only later, when self important assholes where able to change history did the fake story of the team being named after Paul Brown emerge. Shit holes like WIkipedia shoe the bastardized version.
HOWEVER............... as you can see in this article, the Browns own historical account lists Joe Louis as the source of the Browns name.

Any questions? Good. Next topic.

Comparing Paul Brown to Marty Schottenheimer is what defies logic. Bullshit I maintain, pure and simple.

Again, a good post. If he was there, watching and did noting, I am pretty sure that is a contributory offense. Unless is life was in peril and he couldn't react, he could at least have been verbally against it and called the police. DOing nothing is just as bad as joining in the beating. He is a typical inner city savage.
a person I know did ten years for saying nothing

I believe it was Mickey McBride who wanted to name the team after Paul Brown....but PB didn't want to appear so vain. (even though he probably was). And from what I recall....PB finally acquiesced to "The Browns"....but it was he that said: They are named after Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber...and not me..oh no...not me" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
