CCW: How Low Can the Browns Go?

Last week, I hoped I wasn't right when I said Cleveland hopes for any fun would have to wait until the Cavaliers started playing. Almost as if they were out to make me look foolish, the Indians and Browns went out and performed disgustingly. Maybe someday Charlie Brown will get to kick that football, right? Right?

Now, for the week that was and where the Cleveland franchises rank in their collective chase for a championship.

3. Cleveland Browns (0/100) Last Week 25 - That's right. I am going with some tough love Browns fans. The Browns put up a second consecutive stinker in Denver this weekend losing 27-6. Again it was a tale of two halves of football. The Browns defense ended up getting worn down by the end and Denver ran away with the game. I am sure a lot of the detractors out there will continue to point at the defense not holding Kyle Orton and the Broncos. I choose to look at the offense's line for the second half. Fumble, Punt, Punt, Punt, Punt, Interception. I always said that it is tough to have a QB controversy when you weren't sure if you have a legit QB on the roster in the first place. Maybe the Browns can go back in time and just take Mark Sanchez?

It isn't all bad, Browns fans. At least the Browns aren't relying on Romeo Crennel to come back with a winning game plan. Also, all-world return man Josh Cribbs gives us a glimpse into the psyche of the team via Twitter.

I really appreciate the support everyone.We just landed back into Cleveland and it's raining cats & no dawgs, we gotta do better go browns!

That is why we love JC16. Regardless, the Browns have a big fat zero on the board, and they will continue to have a zero on the board until they win a game.

2. Cleveland Indians (35/100) Last Week 30 - I am sure a lot of you are wondering how the Indians could jump five points in the ratings this week. Actually, I am sure NOBODY is wondering as I am pretty sure nobody in Cleveland is willing to acknowledge that the Indians are still playing baseball at this point. For those who shut off the the Tribe sides of their brain, let me tell you. The Indians now have 88 losses. They have one win in their last ten games and have dropped eight in a row. And yet, I have given them a five point boost in the ratings.
