#DisBelieveland: 2020 Cleveland Browns Bye Week Update

Quick: without looking at their record, are the Cleveland Browns a good team or a bad team?   Got an answer?   You're wrong.  Whichever way you answered, you're wrong.   Cleveland is a Limited Heisenberg Uncertainty Team: at any given time, you can know where they are, but you can't know where they are going.

Football’s Sh***iest Cosplay: Your 2020 Detroit Lions Season Preview

Shooting Yourself In the D*ck With An AR-15: Comments on the MLB “Reopening”
