Kardiac Kids The
Story of the 1980 2003, 320 pp
courtesy of our partner, Atlas Books |
A heart-pounding journey through the most exciting season in Cleveland Browns’ history.
Every longtime Cleveland sports fan knows about “Red Right 88,” the play that ended the Browns’ 1980 season. Quarterback Brian Sipe’s ill-fated throw, intended for tight end Ozzie Newsome, was intercepted by Oakland in the end zone, bringing to a halt Cleveland’s “kardiac” campaign.
In Kardiac Kids Jonathan Knight paints a portrait of the Browns’ storybook 1980 season and its impact on the city of Cleveland. Knight takes us through that unforgettable year from beginning to end, describing in great detail how the city simply fell in love with this team.
Though the Cleveland Browns boast four world championships and possess a rich and respected past, the magical 1980 season was clearly the most memorable in team history. Kardiac Kids is a tribute to that team.
Jonathan Knight is a sportswriter from Columbus, Ohio, who has always been an avid fan of Cleveland’s sports teams. He is the author of Opening Day: Cleveland, the Indians, and a New Beginning (Kent State University Press, 2004) and Sundays in the Pound: The Heroics and Heartbreak of the 1985–89 Cleveland Browns (Kent State University Press, 2006).
