0-16 parade for Browns to feature infamous QB 'graveyard'

The "Perfect Season Parade" is a go after the Cleveland Browns became only the second team in NFL history to finish 0-16 with their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

Organizer Chris McNeil came up with the idea last year, though he admits he never thought it would come to fruition.

"At the bottom of the graphic last year, I wrote, 'There's always next year.' I said that completely tongue in cheek," he told Lacey Crisp of Cleveland 19 News. "I never thought I would sit here right now, at the last game of the year, and say the Browns have not won a game in 2017."

The parade is scheduled for Jan. 6 at noon around FirstEnergy Stadium. The owner of the infamous Halloween "graveyard" of Browns quarterbacks, Tony Timoteo, will be among the participants.

"That guy and 27 of his buddies are going to carry the headstones in a procession. The creativity of Cleveland is also going to be on display," McNeil joked.

McNeil plans to use the parade to send a few messages to the Browns' brass.

"There's also going to be (a) message to Hue Jackson, and the ownership of the Browns, saying we're not happy with what's going on with the Browns and they need to figure it out," he said.
