Dez Bryant pays the Cleveland Browns a visit on latest ‘Hard Knocks’
Jim Reineking USA TODAY Published 7:46 p.m. UTC Aug 22, 2018 Dez Bryant's Hard Knocks introduction begins with a pop quiz. Which wide receiver has the most touchdown receptions from 2012-17? Jordy Nelson? No. Antonio Brown? No. Jarvis Landry? No. The answer is coming in for a visit. After a few days of dodging the Cleveland Browns' phone calls, free-agent receiver Dez Bryant was in Berea to meet with the Browns. And, he seems fresh to the idea of signing with the Browns. Bryant hustles around the facility, seemingly introducing himself to everybody in the complex. He meets with head coach Hue Jackson. "I'm just looking for realness, that's all," Bryant said. "Just being honest, the way you're expressing yourself, the way you're talking to me. We barely even know each other and I feel comfortable." Jackson does his best to sell Bryant on the Browns. "This will be the greatest turnaround in sports history," he says. Of course, Bryant left Cleveland without a contract … [Read more...] about Dez Bryant pays the Cleveland Browns a visit on latest ‘Hard Knocks’
The Cleveland Browns want to be the Buffalo Bills, and vice versa: Doug Lesmerises
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Who's on first .... string quarterback duty in the Cleveland Browns-Buffalo Bills preseason game Friday night? Tyrod Taylor. Tyrod Taylor, the Bills playoff quarterback? No Tyrod Taylor, the Browns starting quarterback. Didn't he lead the Bills to the playoffs last year? He did. So why is he a Brown? The Bills didn't want a playoff quarterback? Right. Why? Because they wanted to be the Browns. Another team wanted to be the Browns? The 1-31 Browns? Yep. How can you possibly say that? Because the Bills traded away an All-Pro defensive tackle for a sixth-round pick in the middle of last season, and this offseason traded a playoff quarterback for a third-round pick and their starting left tackle to move up in the first round. The Bills were held up by some last season as an example of a team that the Browns should emulate, that the Browns didn't need to tank to get better. Look at Buffalo! Then the Bills shocked everyone with a 9-7 record and a … [Read more...] about The Cleveland Browns want to be the Buffalo Bills, and vice versa: Doug Lesmerises

Let’s hope the Cleveland Browns’ play is better than their slogan-writing: Ted Diadiun
CLEVELAND -- A few years ago, my wife and I and a couple of friends flew into Calgary and headed north on the way to an exhilarating exploration of the Canadian Rockies. The first order of business upon arriving in Banff was to stop and quench our thirst at a Western-themed tavern, and after a while one of our number got up to use the facilities. She came back with a puzzled look on her face. It had taken her awhile to sort out which bathroom to use. One door had a sign that said "Udders," which after a pause she correctly took to mean it was for females. "But the other one said Udder-OH-nees," she said. "What's an Udder-OH-nee?" After an urgent investigation (I'd had a couple of beers, remember), we finally derived what it meant. The sign said "Udderones," but we were mispronouncing it. Udders and Udder ones. Get it? Females and males. Ha ha. (Why do restaurants and bars insist on making you stop to ponder, when all you want to do is to quickly answer nature's call? Believe me ... … [Read more...] about Let’s hope the Cleveland Browns’ play is better than their slogan-writing: Ted Diadiun
