The first thought is WRONG.Cleveland beat the previously unbeaten New York Giants, 35-14.Following a thorough digestion of the above mentioned information, a familiar, fairly cliched word popped in my head, "Revenge".

One of the nicer stories in an otherwise disappointing year so far for the Browns has been the defensive line. Much-maligned John Hughes and surprising late-rounder Billy Winn have been surprisingly good filling in for Phil Taylor. While it is a nice story, there’s no doubt that it would be an even better one if they were coming in to spell Taylor rather than filling in for him...

Guys, I have to tell you something. I don’t like to admit it, but I’m wrong a lot. Once, in the fourth grade, I misspelled “epitome” and refused to believe the smart-alec judge in the spelling bee when she said I was incorrect. So, you can imagine how awesome inserting my foot into my mouth feels.
A few months ago, I was convinced that Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur...
