A great man.
That's from an OLD life-long Browns fan who saw them as a kid in Cle stadium put Bradshaw in 2nd half, because Terry Hanraddy was the starter and it was pre-season.
RIP, Dan Rooney. He had a formula that worked and it was unique in the NFL.
Side note. Attended Kent State in early 80's and wandered into the new gym (which was a big stink when they built it as it was placed on the venue where some of the shootings were). Looking at all the trophies in the glass cases. Damn, I see Kent took the Mid-American Conference several years in a row in the early 70's. Nice. I dig deeper into the pictures and such from that era. Jack Lambert played for Kent in those years.
