Ol' Jerry gave his own Checkers speech earlier today in front of the Centre County (Pa.) Courthouse. "Now I can't take our dog on my deck and throw out biscuits to him," he said. That's because people were apparently filming him taking his dog on his deck and throwing biscuits out to it. You can watch the video below, but be warned: Sandusky apparently now prefers Cleveland Browns gear to his usual Penn State attire. [via] More »

Mary Kay Cabot, of The Plain Dealer, has a great story about what it was like covering Bill Belichick football coach before he was Bill Belichick Living Legend. Spoiler alert: he was basically the same. More »

Bill Belichick has been so successful as the head coach of the Patriots, it's easy to forget he spent five years in charge of the Browns in the early 1990s. Or that four of those seasons in Cleveland ended with losing records, including '95, when the team more or less mailed it in after then-owner Art Modell made clear his intentions to carpetbag the franchise to Baltimore. At some point in those pre-hoodie days, the former Kaufmann's department store enlisted a young Belichick to pitch those oh-so-'90s pullover jackets every suburban high school kid was rocking at the time. Tom Brady can have his Uggs, but Coach Hoodie will always have this (click the image to enlarge). Just try to look at it and not imagine Belichick with Boyz II Men in his portable CD player.

The deal from Bill Doraty's car dealership in Medina, Ohio, goes like this: Buy a KIA this week, and if the Browns shut out the Steelers on Sunday, it's free. The Steelers have won 21 of their last 23 games against the Browns. No team has shut the Steelers out since 2006. The Browns last blanked Pittsburgh in 1989. And the Browns are, well, you know, the Browns. More »

This is what Colt McCoy looked like after James Harrison launched himself into McCoy's face with the crown of his helmet last night. It obviously wasn't a good idea for the Browns to put McCoy back into the game. But after only one play, they did just that. And five plays after Harrison's hit, McCoy threw an interception that ended Cleveland's chances to win. More »

A couple of weeks ago, Browns receiver Josh Cribbs received a ticket for parking his Mercedes at an expired meter in Cleveland Heights. He protested immediately that the meter still had time left, posting a photo of his ticket next to the meter showing 8 minutes remaining. Police say they don't know when the picture was taken, and someone (read: Cribbs) could have put another quarter in to take the photo. Cribbs maintains his photo is timestamped and would have been impossible to fake. More »
