safeties coach Ephraim Banda started playing college football in his mid-20s. He worked as a bartender at night and slept on the locker room floor before AM lifts.
The relentlessness and work ethic he learned from his dad has gotten him here.
Mark Jackson in Game 4 of the NBA Finals: Iโll tell you what, Kyrie Irving is missed by this basketball team.
Canโt get this analysis anywhere else, folks.
Tom Seipel is dying. Thanks to the help of his fellow fans โ and someone he never expected โ heโll be at Sundayโs Browns game with his dad.
A missionary, a husband, a father. This is Tomโs story:
This Indians team is 71-47 without two of their best pitchers and they only recently started fielding a real Major League lineup.
But tell me more about how Terry Francona bunts too much.
Rashard Higgins, on his decision to stay, said โWhy not be a Cleveland Brown?โ and if thatโs not a T-shirt by noon what exactly is the point of having all these T-shirt companies?
Browns fans, stop and think about this:
Youโve spent the day arguing over and reacting to the outcome of one game โ the decisions, the refs, why they lost, why they should have won. And this is the fourth straight week youโve gotten to do it.
Welcome back to the real NFL.
The Browns are handling their QB situation correctly. Itโs weird and a little scary, but they are. And, like a real NFL team, theyโre focused on getting ready to play real games and not on figuring out who their QB will be Week 1.
Bakerโs time is coming. Just be patient.
If it were up to me, I wouldn't give Nick Chubb another preseason carry. Saw everything we needed this week. He's near the top of the list of most important Browns to get to September 8.
Manziel likely would have failed in no matter the approach, but I think the only chance for success was the coaches showing more faith and elevating him to starter even if he wasn't hitting the traditional benchmarks for preparedness. When they turned back to McCown it was over
Another winning locker room moment:
Myles Garrett, with a song from Rocky playing on his phone, pointed out to Larry Ogunjobi that they are trading off getting two sacks each week.
Garrett: "You gonna get two next week?"
Ogunjobi: "Duh."
Why doesnโt Myles Garrett want to go to the Hall of Fame next week when the team visits during minicamp?
โI donโt want to go until Iโm in it.โ
Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson has been fined $25,000 for failing to leave the court in a timely manner following his ejection and for shoving the basketball in the face of Warriors forward Draymond Green.
Thereโs an entire generation of

fans who never saw Brian Sipe, Bernie Kosar or even Vinny and Bill. Theyโve only lived the expansion era.
For those fans, they finally have a team โ and a quarterback โ they can call their own.

Jarvis Landry announces launch of Jarvis Landry Building Winners Foundation, aimed at helping children and families in Cleveland, Miami and New Orleans.
Taking part in the very public pursuit of a quarterback facing 22 civil lawsuits -- while absorbing the PR hit that comes with it and angering a segment of your fan base -- shouldn't just be written off as doing due diligence to upgrade.
The

chose Deshaun Watson as the face of their franchise to try to win a Super Bowl.
But they can't hide from the ugly side of their choice, the one that has left a segment of their fan base feeling betrayed.
Mack Wilson lived out his dream running out of the tunnel and hearing his name called on Sunday night.
"Running up the tunnel, I almost cried, it was an unbelievable feeling."
If we're being honest, the Browns somehow stealing the AFC North with interim head coach Gregg Williams leading the way might be the most Browns thing of all.

LB Tae Davis had 3 family members test positive for COVID-19. Two ended up in the hospital on ventilators. Now heโs donating 500 meals to seniors in need.
Since the NFL re-aligned in 2002, the Browns and Lions are the only teams left without at least one division title. Losses by the Bengals and Ravens today would give the Browns a path to their first.
