Grandpa, why do the Browns always lose?
On December 27, 1964, the Cleveland Browns football team embarrassed the Baltimore Colts in the 32nd Championship Game, shutting them out 27-0. Little did fans know that it would mark the last time the Browns would win the big game. In fact, the closest they have come since then was losing three times to the Denver Broncos in 1986, 1987, and 1989, due to a combination of player mishaps and bad luck. The team's misfortune bottomed out in 2017 when they finished the season with an abysmal 0-16 record.
Cleveland Curse, volume one in a series, is an entertaining allegory that offers an intriguing explanation why the team and their fans have suffered such devastating pain and suffering all these years: They are cursed.
The journey begins on December 26, 1964, when team owner Art Modell meets a mysterious stranger smartly dressed in a suit and long, dark gray cashmere overcoat who presents some papers for him to sign that he says will ensure a Championship win for the Browns the following day. Is Modell making a deal with the Devil that would forever seal their fate?
