    Highlighted are correct.   Racine and Mansfield did have teams....though the team in Mansfield did not carry the "Mansfield" name...they were called the Oorang Indians, named after a dog kennel.

    Oh Jesus I was going through the list in my head and forgot to write Denver! ?

    I went and looked up the rest out of curiousity... I'll play Gipper and say that Denver and the NY Giants are correct (Browns played the NY Giants in a playoff game in 1950, won 8-3 and then beat the LA Rams 30-28 to win their first NFL Title. They lost to the NY Giants in 1958 in a playoff game, the GIants would lose 'The Greatest Game Ever' against the Baltimore Colts the next week). The Browns have never played the Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs.

    Cleveland doesn't exactly have a long postseason playoff record especially in the last 30 or so years.

    Yea, well, Dutch can tell you, having looked it up, that you got to go back a lot further than that to get the last answer.

    In fact, hint:   the last team is now defunct.

    I follow the NFL in fact besides you I don't know anyone who follows the very short lived and long defunct AAFC or whatever it's called......or even the defunct XFL.

    The BROWNS playoff history is basically in the 1950s and 1980s and not a whole lot more than that.  They have been a poorly run team for the past 30 years or so.   Just sayin'..... without looking it up.

    GO BROWNS, just win again.

    OK, well, that is like ignoring the true full history of things.  Its like saying "I don't follow any American history before the Civil War".

    And maybe you should check out what the Browns did in the playoffs in the 1960s as well.

    And, by the way...even now, with that bad 30 years....they still are like 5th or 6th in numbers of postseason appearances.  I think I did a recent trivia on that.

    Two completely different things and not a good comparison.

    We know that there was a post WWII football league that quickly folded and that the city of Cleveland was involved before joining the now 100 year old and only surviving and successful professional football league and everything that happened in Cleveland after that.

    What happened from 1946-1949 with the AAFC  is largely just a footnote in history, an insignificant blip in the history of football.  The main and enduring part is the only surviving part of football left is the National Football League...... about to be tested with all sports and more this year.
