Browns media group and fans make Benedict Arnold look loyal
Opinion by Tim Shirer
As we approach the final third of the NFL season, the Cleveland Browns once again have had an unsuccessful season (in terms of being over .500) their 22nd losing season in the 26 since they returned in 1999. The Browns being a pathetic organization is just slightly better the Cleveland Indians of the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s in terms of being terrible. The only difference is when the Indians were terrible, they only got media coverage because they existed. The Browns, for some unknown reason get a lot more media attention than they deserve. But let’s get to the topic of this commentary. The fact that Browns fans and the media that cover them are not only hypocrites, but about as loyal as Benedict Arnold. Click here for the whole story

Civale at the time was the team’s best pitcher with injuries to Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie. General Manager Mike Chernoff and team President Chris Antonetti took a lot of heat from the already disgruntled fan base and the media that already treat the team like a stepchild to the Browns.
