What football movie was this? Its from the 1950's?

Question

I saw it on PBS late on night, and half asleep. I just remember there being a Cleveland Browns player, and some weird dude who was in an apartment room. I don't remember if he was trying to film something or what he was doing. It was in black and white, and involved a black Cleveland Browns player. This was a movie, not a documentary

Answer 1

THE FORTUNE COOKIE (1966)

From Wikipedia:
In the 1966 Billy Wilder movie "The Fortune Cookie", which starred Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in their first on- screen pairing, Lemmon played a CBS cameraman accidentally injured by a Cleveland Browns player (Ron RIch as Luther "Boom Boom" Jackson) during a game at Cleveland Stadium, and Matthau played his huckster lawyer intent on suing the Browns and CBS. Matthau won the best supporting actor Oscar for the role. Crowd shots were filmed at the Stadium during a game.

At least that's my best guess. By the way, this is considered a classic comedy, noted for the hard edge to it.
