Bernie Kosar says he meant 'no disrespect' to Dwight Clark with ALS quip

Former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar said Wednesday via Twitter he meant "no disrespect" to Dwight Clark when he made a quip on Cleveland radio about Clark's ALS diagnosis.

"We had a bad weekend with Gale Sayers being diagnosed [with dementia] ... Dwight Clark with ALS," Kosar said on WKNR, ESPN-Cleveland, on Wednesday. "I could make a joke about his struggles in picking players when he was here. It almost makes me wonder if maybe it started earlier."

Clark was the Browns' Director of Football Operations when the team returned for the expansion years.
