One of the best columns I've read in a while.
"It's like dating a woman who hates you so much she will never break up with you, even if you burn down the house every single autumn." ~ Chuck Klosterman on Browns fans relationship with the Browns

I agree.
I got chills reading it.
I heard that ESPN Classic is going to show the final rounds tonight during a special they are doing.
Has anyone seen this yet? I haven't been able to confirm it one way or another.

I watched this last night and mesmerized. What made it worse for me is that it brought back memories of watching the fight live. I remember the emotional nose dive from being so happy and excited at the end of the fight, only to feel guilty and ashamed a few days later. Imagine the guilt that Ray carries around to this day. They compared this to a Shakespearean tragedy last night and I have to agree.

The Vindicator had a nice story on this yesterday too.
