Description
The New Browns: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Cleveland's Franchise. Terry Pluto examines the unhappy beginnings of the new Cleveland Browns franchise, tracing the backroom deals, big-money power plays, and poor decisions that have dogged the team since Art Modell left in 1995. When the new Browns took to the field in 1999, it was supposed to mark a new era for football in Cleveland, but instead, it proved to be a rude awakening. The NFL's decision to trade one of its most storied teams for a franchise mired in mediocrity has been widely questioned by fans. Pluto delves into the clues and looks for answers, providing a fascinating insight into the events that have shaped the Browns' history.
