This day in Sports History- January 9-
Mistake by the Lake
"He said to me, 'They took my team away from me? That's about the only time his voice ever broke when speaking with me."
- Mike Brown (Paul Brown's son)
On this day in 1963, Paul Brown, coach and general manager of the Cleveland Browns of the old All-America Football Conference and the NFL, the winner of seven league titles and the man after whom the very team was named, was fired by Art Modell, a former television and advertising executive who had bought the club two years before.
