Say it ain't so, Joe. Say it ain't so.

The crack Massillon Review investigative staff has been tirelessly investigating Massillon's carpetbaggers. We have joined our beloved Mayor for Life, King Francis the Eternal, and have "drawn a line in the sand," when it comes to carpetbaggers.

We have exposed the carpetbaggers.

They include;

Mayor Cicchinelli's campaign contributors

Mayor Cicchinelli's department heads

Mayor Cicchinelli's public relations firm

Mayor Cicchinelli's wife

and Mayor Cicchinelli himself

And acting on a tip, we have uncovered one more carpetbagger.

The crack Massillon Review investigative staff has uncovered evidence proving that Massillon's favorite son is, unfortunately, a carpetbagger.

We naturally understand the shock and grief that will grip our community in the wake of these revelations.

But the truth, as heart breaking as it is, must be told.

Coaching Legend Paul Brown is a carpetbagger.

Paul Brown, one of the most revered coaches in football history.

Hall of Famer. Champion. Innovator. Founder of two NFL teams. Father of the modern offense.

Carpetbagger.

Paul Brown was born in Norwalk, Ohio.

He attended college at Miami of Ohio. We checked. Miami of Ohio is in Oxford, Ohio.

Oxford is outside the city of Massillon.

And when Paul Brown left Massillon in 1941, he went to coach Ohio State University.

In Columbus.

He then started the Cleveland Browns football franchise.

Cleveland is outside the "corporate limits of the city of Massillon."

It's true.

Paul Brown then founded the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cincinnati is not in Massillon.

In 1967, Brown was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

In Canton.

In light of these shocking revelations, we will understand if Paul Brown Tiger Stadium is renamed.

Mayor for Life Frank Cicchinelli Tiger Stadium has a nice ring to it.
