Great read. I had no idea of that history.

Nice article. Cleveland does it again.

*Side note: A young Rockey Felker looks like young Judd Nelson in the Breakfast Club.

I love those old posed photographs they used to do each pre-season...

Good article. Hate to hear of his passing. Felker and Melvin were one year ahead of me. That 9-3 year was pretty special back then.
