The Ulitmate Fan death wish.

[OriginalShroom]

I will fully admit to being a life-long Cleveland Browns fan.

When I lived in Ohio, I went to all of the home games and to the Cleveland/Pittsburg game in Pittsburg.

Yes, I went to the Stealer's home field.

So it is with great understanding I post the following...

Man wants Browns pallbearers so team 'can let him down one last time' - CBSSports.com

People always throw out weird stuff surrounding their death ("When I die I want blah blah blah") but you rarely see people follow through on it. Not Scott E. Entsminger, a Browns fan who died at the age of 55 on July 4.

Entsminger "was an accomplished musician, loved playing the guitar and was a member of the Old Fogies Band." He was also, per his obituary in the Columbus Dispatch, a "lifelong Cleveland Browns fan and season ticket holder."

The deceased wasn't just your average Browns fan: He apparently wrote a song each year about the Browns, which he sent to the team along with advice about how to run the organization.

And he was such a big Browns fan that the family encouraged everyone attending his funeral wear clothes supporting the team. But here's the real kicker -- he wanted his pallbearers to be Browns as well.

Why? Well ...

"He respectfully requests six Cleveland Browns pall bearers so the Browns can let him down one last time."

Oh, Browns. You even managed to get beat by the deceased.

And yes, I fully expect to see this thread moved.. But it is worth the read before being transplanted to the Forums of the dead threads.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a joke.

That is why I provided a link to the CBS story.

A little funny...

It'd be nice if the Browns organization honored his request. Found a sense of humor and sent six players to the service. That would be kind of classy...

Actually, I was talking about that the Jackass who decided to make it personal, Two Thumbs, with his "commentary.

I laughed when I read the article because I could see the guys' sense of humor.. A sense of humor only a die-hard fan could possibly have.

I agree with you, it would be nice if the Browns did comply with his wishes.
