  • Prior to week 16 of the 1981 NFL season, the Cleveland Browns announced that they were making a quarterback change for their game against the Seattle Seahawks, replacing Brian Sipe with Paul McDonald. And the news infuriated, of all people, Seahawks head coach Jack Patera, who went as far as accusing the Browns of... tanking?

    Fun Fact: The same two teams mentioned in the video would meet in the Kingdome for Week 1 of the 1982 season. The Browns would beat the Seahawks, 21-7. After Week 2, the players’ strike began and three weeks into the strike, head coach Jack Patera was axed and Mike McCormack, the president and general manager of the Seahawks became the head coach. After the 1982 season, McCormack hired Chuck Knox to be their head coach. Knox took the Seahawks to the AFC Championship Game where they lost to the Raiders, 30-14. One of the ways that Seahawks got into the playoffs was their 24-9 victory vs. the Browns in Cleveland in Week 5. Both teams were 9-7 and along with the Broncos also beating the Browns, they were the two AFC Wild Cards.

    Brian Sipe had a huge letdown of a season, but the team around him was riddled by injuries, and Sam Rutigliano coached his way out of winning at least 5 of those 11 games that they lost. When a team is 4th in the NFL in offensive yards but 24th in scoring, that's on Rutigliano.

    If Coach Patera thought this was a black eye on the sport, I'm sincerely curious to know what he thought about the Colts benching their starting QB in 2009 when they were 14-0 and had clinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs. (A quick Google search shows that he was still alive at the time.)

    One might have thought the Browns might been tanking for a good chunk of that season given how awful they were. With that said, Jack Patera should've been worried about his own team. On another note, I forgot the Seahawks hadn't started using royal blue facemasks until after I was born.

    who would clowns have been tanking for? '82 was a weak draft with no franchise type qb's in it. And only munchak at 8 and marcus allen at 10 were hall of famers. Had marino come out early he would have been the top pick. '83 was the loaded draft to tank for. elway drama, six qb's taken with marino dropping, half dozen hall of famers in the first round alone.

Huge star as a pro wrestler--not just for WWF but for every other major promotion in the country (of which there were several at the time, in the pre-national-promotion days). Then he went to prison for beating up police officers after breaking into a closed McDonald's and his career never was the same.

    Players and coaches aren't going to tank on purpose. But the owners will definitely set the team up for failure to try to get a better draft pick. They'll trade away their best players for picks. They'll pick up worse players. They'll hire incompetent coaches. So that even with the coaches doing their best and the players playing their hearts out - they're just a worse team than the guys on the other side.
