The Browns lost to the Bengals Sunday. Another loss for the Orange and Brown was less surprising than the dog finishing your toddler’s unattended sandwich at a cookout. Jimmy Haslam has been publicly supportive of both general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski all the way into the month of December. They both… read more
