Mere words cannot describe how much I dislike John Elway. He could be the greatest humanitarian in history who donated all his money to charity and I wouldn't care. He could donate his ORGANS to charity and it wouldn't change my mind. Horse-face literally ripped the hearts out of Browns fans, not once but twice. The man reminded me of Bradshaw....only uglier (and that's saying something).
All Browns fans are aware of "The Drive". Mr. Ed led the Broncos down the field with lucky last second throws, questionable calls by the refs and general blind ass luck. I personally counted at least five holding calls that the refs missed during that possession. I KNOW the refs didn't want to decide who was going to the Super Bowl, but the Denver offensive line shouldn't have been allowed to TACKLE us.
Now I bet several of you are wondering how I can still harbor so much animosity after 27 years. The term "fan" is short for fanatic...and that should be enough of an explanation. I follow everything Browns related during the season, up to the draft, prior to training camp. Good, bad or otherwise, I will follow them until my dying day.
After the drive tied it up, the game went to sudden death overtime. We got the ball first and did exactly nothing,went three and out. Trigger led the Broncos deep into our territory where we finally stopped them. Denver kicker Rich Karlis dutifully trotted out onto the field to attempt a field goal for the win and a trip to the Super Bowl.
Dick Enberg had the call and appeared to try and jinx Karlis by mentioning a missed field goal the previous week that had helped the Browns advance. The kick was high enough, long enough....and the Broncos win! Except he MISSED. That kick sailed wide of the goal post and the two refs in the end-zone looked to each other to make the call. We was ROBBED.
Now that I think about it, the following year, Byner crossed the goal line before he fumbled too. GO BROWNS!
You can check out the video of the kick and decide for yourself...
