Cleveland Browns Will Not Honor Fan's Last Wish

The Cleveland Browns are giving a jersey to the family of a Mansfield fan who asked for six players to serve as pallbearers at his funeral.55-year-old Scott Entsminger died on July 4th at his home. He requested "six Cleveland Browns pallbearers so the Browns can let him down one last time."  Browns spokesperson Zak Gilbert says the team contacted Entsminger's widow and found out that his favorite player was Hall of Famer Lou Groza. The team will present a Groza Number 76 jersey with Entsminger's name on the back to the family today. The Browns have had only two winning seasons since returning to the league in 1999. Their last championship was in 1964.
