The obituary published in the Sandusky Register says Paul Stark, of Huron, died Wednesday at a hospice facility after a brief illness "exacerbated by the hopeless condition of the Cleveland Browns." The football team was 1-15 last season and 0-15 this year ahead of Sunday's finale at Pittsburgh. Even so, Stark's obituary included a nugget of the optimism voiced by some long-suffering fans. It says the 80-year-old Mansfield native "passed just before the Browns were prepared to turn the corner."

Death by football.

I remember a Browns fan made a request for the pall bearers at his funeral to be Browns players so they can let him down one last time.

[Pearls Before Swine]

LOL!

[WayneS]

Someone had a sense of humor.

I am not anticipating my death anytime soon, but if were to happen I hope my obituary can blame it on Colon Krapperdick and his treasonous kneelers ruining enjoyment of my favorite sport!!

[WayneS]

That’s funny.

[Kickass Conservative]

Like many Cub Fans until the miracle on turf.

[Lurkinanloomin]

There is life after football.
I gave it up last year after 50 years and did not even miss it this year.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Fumbled into his final resting place.

His obit did NOT blame a "winless season".

Aren't the Browns one of the worst anti-American teams now?
This guy could have been a veteran or LEO.

[windsorknot]

At least Paul Stark completed his passing.

[Robert DeLong]

Yet another reason to stop patronizing the NFL. 8>)

In my opinion they are all losers anyway though.

[DoodleDawg]

"passed just before the Browns were prepared to turn the corner."

They could have put that in his obituary had he lived to be 90.

[Jim W N]

“Die-hard fan”.

True - but I kept the headline as is, it’s funnier.
