Dear Bradley A. Wright,

Merry Christmas! I hope this letter finds you and yours well and that you will be able to assist me.

I’m on a fact finding mission here! As you may know a lot of people on the internet are talking about a 1972 letter allegedly written on the letterhead of your law office to the Cleveland Browns. Again allegedly, one of the employees at your firm, a certain “Dale O. Cox” was complaining about people making paper airplanes out of sports programs. The stated reason was that such a thrown missile might put out the eye of one of his party members (and as we all know, it’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye!). Now I am presuming that Dale O. Cox is either dead or retired at this point, and it appears the letter is a matter of public record regardless, so I was hoping you could let me know if it was indeed sent and if there was a reply.

Some are questioning the veracity of this exchange, and I think it’s dumb to speculate on whether Photoshop (popular image manipulation software) was used to create the reply, when all one really needs do is ask. I promise if you let me know the truth I will pass it along to the people of the internet.

If it matters the reply basically boiled down to “get bent” which I don’t think was very nice of the Cleveland Browns.

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Jorgensen
