Cleveland is reveling in life as a city with a championship after the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied from down 3-1 in the NBA Finals to defeat the Golden State Warriors. With the first major sports championship in 52 years officially secured, there's no room for negativity in Cleveland.

And with that meant the retirement of the “Cape of Sadness.”
The famous jersey was once just a Tim Couch jersey, but eventually showed the names of 24 quarterbacks who started a game for the Browns since 1999. On Monday morning, the "Cape of Sadness" was no more.
