Plans for Cleveland Browns ‘perfect season’ parade move forward

The Cleveland Browns are inching closer to a 0-16 season and one devoted fan is moving forward with his idea to celebrate the feat.

Chris McNeil created an event on Facebook last month for the “Browns Perfect Season Parade.” On Wednesday, McNeil met with Cleveland city officials to turn what started as a joke into a reality. The steering committee meeting included about 20 people from different city departments like police and fire. He said he received good feedback and everyone seemed open to the idea. A private security firm has been retained for the event and most permits have been filed.

McNeil said the parade will likely happen, unless the Browns win a game. More than 4,300 users said they are going to the Jan. 7 celebration around FirstEnergy Stadium. The route originally created a zero and 16, but has been changed to minimize any disruption to the Great Lakes Science Center.

Cleveland is ~~0-13~~ 0-12 heading into their game on Sunday ~~at the Buffalo Bills~~ against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Per ESPN, the Browns have a 54% chance of going 0-16. And a 0.3% chance of winning the remaining three games, though there's only a ten percent chance of that...

#1 ...As a lifelong Browns fan (grew up almost within earshot of old Lakefront Stadium), I know exactly how this is going to end: you have a dedicated Browns fan who is putting together an event to make people feel good about a disastrous season, to try to put a smile on people's faces about it and remind them that no matter what happens, these are our Browns, and we love them, and we will be there next year.

And just watch. The Browns will screw it up by winning one.

#3 Possibly the worst organization in pro sports.

If I followed pro sports more, I guess I might find a worse one.

#4 The Browns used to be OK, until the forever cursed Art Modell snuck them out of Cleveland and turned them into the Baltimore Ravens.

#5 Heck, they'll get even better draft picks than the San Diego Chargers.
