After losing to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, the Cleveland Browns are currently 0-10, making a no-win 0-16 season a real possibility. Though the team has yet to lose its final six games — against the Steelers (twice), the Giants, the Bengals, the Bills, and the Chargers — some fans are already planning a parade to celebrate a "perfect" season.
There's a Facebook event with 7,900 people interested or planning to attend as of this writing, but more seriously, organizers have submitted an application to the City of Cleveland to host the parade.
"As a season ticket holder, this is especially near and dear to my heart as I prepare to pay for my season tickets next year," it says, adding that the proposed "parade route wraps around FirstEnergy Stadium that taxpayers built in hopes that the team would achieve the kind of historic brilliance they have this year."
