This is only tangentially related to the Browns, but I had no idea that Condoleezza Rice used to date Rich Upchurch.

Rice: the National Security Adviser during the worst security failure in U.S. history, then the Secretary of State during a precipitous decline in American prestige. But, hey, she’s a heckuva Browns fan.

Upchurch: a native of Toledo and one of the best punt returners in NFL history. He took two Don Cockroft boots to the house in the Browns’ ignominious 44-13 loss in Denver in 1976.

Wonder why it didn’t work out…
