This is becoming an annual thing.
The Browns lose game after game and a perfectly awful 0-16 parade looms.
So here we go again: The Browns find themselves 0-11 with five games left in another painful season for fans.
And once again, Browns fan Chris McNeil, who lives in Granville, Ohio, outside Columbus, is busy preparing for the chance to throw a parade around FirstEnergy Stadium should the Browns lose out. Billed as Perfect Season Parade 2.0, the event would kick off at noon Saturday, Jan. 6.
But there's still that pesky matter of the Browns not winning a single game. Last year's parade was scuttled on Christmas Eve when the Browns beat the Chargers for their only win of the season.
With the Chargers once again looming on the schedule Sunday, McNeil said that's a game that worries him, as well as the Bears and the chance for "Christmas Eve magic again."
Then there's the matter of the Packers' ailing starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers. They play Dec. 10.
McNeil, who once lived in Bath Township and attended Revere schools before his family moved to southern Ohio when he was a teen, said he met with Cleveland officials Wednesday to discuss the details of the parade.
So far, he said, he has 50 people signed up saying they want to march in the parade, with 5,000 saying they are interested and another 1,500 on Facebook saying they would attend.
He has set up a website at brownsparade.com.
Any money raised from the parade and T-shirts promoting it would help pay for the required security and other related expenses.
The event's webpage says it is soliciting everything from marching bands to twirling groups to floats to fans on bicycles to be a part of the parade.
