Posted: 26th September 2009 by Erin McLaughlin in NFL
The current state of the Cleveland Browns is an ugly one at that. This team is 0-2 and the mighty Ravens are coming to town. Off the field, there is turmoil too. Rookies can't take pranks.

And as un-patriotic as this might sound to Eagles fans, itÆs my estimation that there is absolutely no reason for Michael Vick to see ...
