Poetic Obituaries: Said [John] Morrow, who played with the Browns

from 1960-66 but knew [Monte] Clark beforehand from his days playing against him on the West Coast as a member of the 49ers' arch rivals, the Los Angeles Rams, "The thing I remember about Monte, other than what a good player he was, is the poetry he wrote about players on the team."

Humorous prose to get under his teammates' skin, we take it?

"No, not at all," Morrow said. "It was serious stuff, describing the players, the way they were playing and the things going on with them."
