The CRAZY DRAMA of the 2001 Cleveland Browns

[@msarzo]

The last six games of the season were worse than if the Cleveland Browns did nothing but spike the ball into the ground on every single play. Great video as usual, and I loved the Afroman "edited verse"! Perfect way to end this!

[@okolo22000]

11:09 Nice 👍! 12:32 Well played 🙂. This episode’s comedic presence at the end is just priceless.

[@SteelerFanInRI]

Given how there were also a ton of Bengals who got in legal trouble not too long after this, I guess being an NFL player in Ohio in the 2000s was too miserable a prospect to not get yourself in trouble.

[@matthewdaley746]

Cincinnati is basically Pittsburgh, without, the consistent team success, and, 1980s Miami, without, the warm weather, for the people who can never leave, it's even worse.

That 21-7 loss to Bears was insane. That’s worth a video. I don’t know which loss was worse, that one or the 2002 opener vs. Chiefs

[@matthewdaley746]

The worst loss was the Playoff Game in 2002 when the officials didn't allow them to play defense in the second half, and, erroneously claimed the clock expired because they were in FG range, not, to mention the player was illegally held, while, going out-of-bounds, the officials returned the favor one week later, Bill Cowher's hypocritical Postgame reaction was priceless.

Believe it or not, 2001 was kind of a fun year for the Browns. This was the first year since the Return that they were actually competitive. In 1999 and 2000 they weren't really a legit NFL team at all. I still can't quite wrap my mind around the Bears loss though.

[@bobscott2429]

That's LB Dwayne Rudd, in an act of premature celebration. Even though he wasn't arrested, he committed an even worse act of celebration on the last play of the 2002 season opener vs. Kansas City. With the Chiefs trailing 39-37, Rudd, thinking he had sacked KC QB Trent Green, pulled off his helmet and threw it. Green, however, lateraled the ball to lineman John Tait, who took it to the Browns' 26. Rudd was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct, moving the ball half the distance to the goal. Because the game cannot end on a defensive penalty, the Chiefs, now with an untimed down, won the game, 40-39, on a Morten Andersen field goal.
