Browns penalties must be hysterical to Ed Hochuli’s crew I have a tough time explaining why my frustration levels fluctuate so much throughout a Browns season. Some weeks as the Browns lose, it barely registers on the imaginary frustrate-o-meter in my house. I kind of shrug my shoulders, write about the Browns game on Sunday and just move along with my week. Then other weeks I’m dropping the ugliest of linguistic bombs on the WFNY email thread because I’m so beside myself trying to deal with my favorite football team wetting the bed. This week, it felt like they wet the bed after I just removed the water proof mattress liner. This was a two-win football team heading into the game against Dallas. What exactly is it that I expected that would give me this level of frustration? On the WFNY podcast this week, I said flat-out that the Browns could win, but that we were probably talking about a 30% chance of taking it home. Based on those expectations, shouldn’t I have almost been pleasan...

A Scientific Look Into Browns Q.B. Brandon Weeden’s Brain Code Can He Lead In The NFL Watch The Video It’s Amazing

Today in the NFL and other sports, teams are using very in-depth studies to decide whether a player is going to be able to deal with the pressures of the NFL and other sports. Tonight on the Cleveland Sports 360 Show we had a special in-house guest and we took an in-depth look at Brandon Weeden’s brain code. Does Weeden have what it takes to lead the Cleveland Browns?

NFL News: Browns’ TJ Ward fined $25,000 as “repeat offender”

Cleveland Browns strong safety TJ Ward officially has $25,000 less to his name as the NFL levied a fine against the third-year safety for a hit which occurred in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys. When Ward put the finishing touch on an attempted pass to Cowboys wide receiver Kevin Ogletree, the team was handed a 15-yard penalty for what was deemed a hit...

Cleveland Browns Film Room: Game 10, Under Pressure

Like we did last year before it became fashionable, we’ll take a seat each week in our very own WFNY Browns film room and break down a little tape from the game, with a specific focus.  Do enjoy. The Browns did something really positive in Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys, and I wanted to focus on that this week. The defense was able to sack Romo seven times. That’s a nice number...

Browns handing out inflatable white flags to fans for Pittsburgh game

You can’t make these things up. Apparently the Browns are going to be handing out inflatable white flags with the Browns helmet on them for Sunday’s game. Seriously. White flags. Did someone not think this through? Here is a picture of Chomps with the giveaway. The caption was added by @FakePatShurmur on twitter- Some jokes write themselves.

The Cleveland Spirit Cheerleaders are a good Start

I’m not sure if you guys are aware but there are only a handful of NFL teams that don’t have cheerleaders.   Being from New York and a Giants fan I’m obviously disappointed that we don’t have a squad.  Althought the “UnOfficials” are more than enough to make me happy. In the same light, the Cleveland Browns come to mind.   They don’t have an official team that...

Browns still haven't mastered art of finish

Browns coach Pat Shurmur sounds like a broken record when he talks about his team's broken record. Once again, Cleveland came up short on Sunday in a 23-20 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys, who overcame a 13-point deficit by exploiting the Browns' injury-riddled secondary and taking advantage of 12 penalties, It's a familiar story for the Browns (2-8), who have lost...

Cleveland Browns to hand out "White Flags"

As if the Browns weren't enough of an embarrassment to the people of Cleveland, their latest idea is even is worse than usual. Pictures above, someone thought it'd be a good idea to hand out these white flags at this week's game against the rival Steelers. Maybe they don't know the universal meaning of "waiving the white flag"....

Josh Cribbs gets tackled by his hair

Some guys just can’t live without their long hair. I’ve never understood why wide receivers or running backs would want to have long hair, but maybe I just don’t appreciate a good set of dread locks the way I should. During the Dallas Cowboys’ overtime win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Josh Cribbs was dragged down by his dreadlocks on what looked like a painful tackle...

The Sooner We Get Away From Shurmur and The Big Show, the Better

Can it get any worse here in Cleveland? I was watching another vintage Pat Shurmur-led debacle in Dallas, and all I could do is sit back and laugh. Seriously, how can you even get yourself worked up over this stuff anymore? Every week the Browns hang around just long enough to keep you interested, then fall off a cliff in the end. Spare me the “at least we are competitive” bit...

Cleveland Browns at Dallas Cowboys: Hero and Zero of the Game

Hero: Dez BryantFor the first time all season, Dez Bryant was able to put up great numbers without having an asterisk attached to his performance (*he dropped three passes, *dropped the game-tying 2-point conversion, *fumbled a punt). Bryant was un-coverable for the Cleveland secondary, finishing the game with 12 catches for 145 yards and a touchdown.Those numbers could have been...
