Fired Paul Brown. Ran off Jim Brown. Traded Paul Warfield. (That’s three Hall of Famers.) Moved team out of Cleveland to avoid bankruptcy. The Hall is supposed to be for the true greats of the game. IMO, I just don’t see it.

The Browns playoff chance right now is 6 percent, per the NY Times. However, if the Browns win out AND on Sunday Baltimore beats Buffalo, the Cardinals beat the Steelers, and the Raiders beat the Titans, the chance jumps to 69 percent. So … there’s that.

1) The refs missed that call 2) If you want to win a game, do it to the point one call doesn’t matter that much. Take officiating out of it. 3) The Saints had a lot of chances to win 4) The Rams deserve credit for their finish All the above can be true simultaneously. And are.

Freddie Kitchens’ rise has been meteoric, but his hire maintains continuity for the Browns offense. Defensively, Gregg Williams is no longer with the Browns and will not return, per sources to me and @DanGrazianoESPN … there will be a new staff on that side of the ball.

Off the dribble, on the run, wrong foot, floats in the air, casually banks it in, time expires with ball in the air. One day we’ll all be able to say we were around for this era. LeBron James’ finest season will take him to The Finals again.
