For ten years the Cleveland Browns compiled a better record and won
more championships than any team in pro football history. In their
first game they set an all-time attendance record and consistently
drew the largest crowds of the post-World War II era. They
dominated an upstart league and then silenced their detractors by
doing the same to the NFL. The Browns were led by Paul Brown, a
football visionary who changed pro football. Most important among
his innovations was the leading role the franchise played in the
integration of pro sports. While much of their competition
continued with the racial exclusion of the past, the Browns
featured some of the greatest black players of all-time, men who
were an integral part of the Cleveland dynasty. The Best Show in
Football: The 1946-1955 Cleveland Browns, Pro Football's Greatest
Dynasty tells the story of those players and that dynasty. Included
in that story is the construction of the Browns as well as accounts
of the team's many victories. Dozens of interviews bring to life
the exploits of Otto Graham, Bill Willis, Marion Motley, Lou Groza,
Mac Speedie, Len Ford, Dante Lavelli, Frank Gatski, and so many
others. In rich detail, The Best Show in Football demonstrates why
Cleveland's dynasty was the greatest ever, greater even than
several teams that are usually accorded that honor. The conclusions
may be surprising but the evidence is all here. And along the way
author Andy Piascik provides a wonderful trip back to football's
golden age.
