Related: About this forumMan wanted Cleveland Browns players to be pallbearers so they can "let him down one last time"
NFL fans usually are fans for life. This even can include the afterlife.
Scott E. Entsminger, 55, of Mansfield, Ohio, passed away on July 4. We'll include one of his dying wishes from his obituary in the Columbus Dispatch below:
"A lifelong Cleveland Browns fan and season ticket holder, he also wrote a song each year and sent it to the Cleveland Browns as well as offering other advice on how to run the team. He respectfully requests six Cleveland Browns pall bearers so the Browns can let him down one last time," it reads, via CBSSports.com.
When the Browns heard about Entsminger's request, they contacted his widow, Pat, and found out that his favorite player was Hall of Famer Lou Groza, Browns spokesman Zak Gilbert told The Associated Press. The team will present a Groza No. 76 jersey with Entsminger's name on the back to the family Tuesday.
