This isn't supposed to be funny, I think. But I chuckled.

With his luck, they'll drop the casket!

Funny in a macabre bizarre depressing brown way.

The guy made a joke, so it's ok to appreciate it. Well, he stole an old joke, anyway.
If I were running the Browns, I'd take the guy up on it.

Maybe I should do this since I'm a Cubs fan.

Should the New Browns do it? Or the Old Browns/Ravens?

Depends on how it's handled. And it could easily backfire. Maybe send a rep to the funeral but then you set precedence. Might just consider send flowers, condolences and thanks to a loyal fan albeit a disappointed one. I understand.
