I'm not into Cleveland Browns football. I haven't been since way before Art Modell pulled a Robert Irsay-like move and secretly negotiated the move of the Browns to Baltimore, re-named the team the Ravens, copied some janitor's team logo, ended up paying out a bunch of dollars to the guy, then won a Super Bowl.
I got turned off to pro football when the players went on strike way back before the turn of the century. The first time.
I came across a note I wrote to myself a few weeks back when the the Browns-Bengals game was on as background. I noticed that one of the Bengals players carries the moniker, Rudi Johnson.
I checked on his background. He's not German, like Rudi Gernreich, the designer of the topless bathing suit. He went to Auburn, like Bo Jackson, who played two pro sports, one with an artificial hip.
Does Rudi sign his name with one of those smiley faces over the "i," and does he say, "Rudy, with an 'i'" when asked his name?
Just thought I'd ask.
