The Cleveland Indians Can't Stop Grabbing Each Other Inappropriately

A few weeks ago, Lonnie Chisenhall hit a walk-off single to give the Cleveland Indians a ninth-inning win over the Detroit Tigers. His teammates thanked him by mobbing him and trying to put their fingers in his butt....

Albert Belle Wants To Be The Indians' Next Manager

The Indians have two pretty good candidates to helm the team next year, after firing Manny Acta with six games remaining. First, Sandy Alomar Jr., the bench coach who is acting as interim manager these last couple days—a beloved former Indian who was something of a field general dating back to his b...

Browns Center Alex Mack Has Blood On His Ass [UPDATE]

The Browns are, so far, managing not to embarrass themselves—Cleveland's within a touchdown of the Ravens in Baltimore as of this writing. More serious injuries notwithstanding, we are concerned about the health of Browns center Alex Mack, who appears to be bleeding from a place you really do not w...

Somehow Josh Cribbs Woke Up And Walked Away From This Brutal Head-Crunching Hit

On a day the NFL celebrated the end of its most pressing controversy, its lingering one rose again to prominence as Browns returner Josh Cribbs took a brutal hit from Dannell Ellerbe at the end of a first quarter punt return and lay motionless on the turf during tonight's Cleveland-Baltimore game ...

The Indians' Bullpen Spent Last Night's Game Practicing Their Juggling Skills

Reader Nick sent this video from last night's White Sox-Indians game. He was sitting next to Cleveland's bullpen when some relievers started practicing their juggling skills. According to Nick, this happened in the bottom of the eighth inning; by then, the Indians had a 6-4 lead. (They ended up winn...

The Bills Beat The Browns And Everyone In The Press Box Survived, In One GIF

Today, the weather report for the neighborhood of Cleveland Browns Stadium said, "Rain is only occurring in a few spots." One was, for most the game, the stadium itself, and another might as well have been the press box. If you checked in on Browns and Bills beat writers, you found a lot of deadpan...

Lonnie Chisenhall Hits Walk-Off Single, Is Thanked By Teammates With An Attempted Cornholing

Not entirely sure what's going on here. After leading his team to victory with a walk-off hit last night, Cleveland Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall was treated to a rather odd celebratory scrum....

Bengals 34, Browns 27: The Game In Two GIFs

Some primo running in this one—and actually some primo passing too, and generally good football playing all around. It's like Sean always says (this morning), "it's these god-awful looking games that become the most compelling." This one wasn't the most compelling, but if you like long runs to the e...

Let's Count How Many Metaphors We Can Make Out Of Brandon Weeden Being Trapped Under A Giant American Flag

1. Perfect illustration of the NFL's tendency to smother you to do death with its American-ness....

Art Modell's Family Requests No Moment Of Silence At Cleveland Browns Stadium This Sunday

On Monday, Browns reporter Tony Grossi told us that the NFL had asked every team in the league to have a moment of silence for Art Modell, one of the main antagonists in the long drama of Cleveland's histrionic sports decrepitude. It probably would have been an awkward moment of silence in Cleveland...

The NFL wants teams to observe a moment of silence for Art Modell this weekend. Should be a real hit in Cleveland....

"Art Modell Is Probably Talking To The Devil About Relocating Hell," Says Internet

Former Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell died this morning. He was 87. The reaction to his death on the internet, particularly from those with some connection to Northeast Ohio, was somewhat less than charitable. We've compiled a list of some of that reaction for you below. It's...

Chris Perez Drops Some Truth Bombs, Calls The Indians Cheap

There is, perhaps, no unhappier player than a closer on a crappy team. His one marquee statistic, saves, is all-important come contract time. But if a team's not winning, he's not getting the opportunities, and that'll hurt him in his free agency winter. So Craig Calcaterra's theory that Chris Perez...

Report: Former Cleveland Browns Owner Art Modell Is Gravely Ill [UPDATE]

Sad news out of Baltimore tonight as Jim Donovan of WKYC in Cleveland is reporting that Art Modell, the former Browns owner who became infamous for moving the franchise to Baltimore after the 1995 season, is in a Baltimore-area hospital and that his "vital organs are failing."...

Minor Leaguer Plays All Nine Positions In Nine-Inning Game

After he played every position in the field in a single game over the weekend, you could say Indians farmhand Justin Toole is a nine-toole player, but only if you want to get punched in the kidney....

Man Steals Ball From Small Child, Quickly Gives It Back

This afternoon's game in Cleveland between the Indians and Yankees presented us with a very important teachable moment—one Michael Kay evidently chose to ignore....

Indians Closer Chris Perez Confronts A's Fan: "Get Your Dick Out Of Your Mouth"

Oh, Chris Perez. Back in May, when the Indians really were in first place, Perez called out Cleveland fans for their lack of support at the gate. Oddly, he also tends to puke on the mound on occasion. And yesterday, in Oakland, a tipster named Mark says Perez was getting heckled by an A's fan duri...

Guantanamo Detainee Wants LeBron James To Apologize To Cleveland

Afghan Muhammed Rahim, a former translator for Osama Bin Laden, spent a long time in a CIA secret prison before being moved to Guantanamo Bay in 2008. Which is to say, he hasn't had a lot of time to check in with NBA League Pass. But even Rahim couldn't let "The Decision" pass by without a comment....

VP Candidate Paul Ryan Praised The "Storied" Cleveland Browns And Quarterback "Brendan Wheaton"

Political pandering is hard to pull off right these days, but Paul Ryan should know better than to laud a "storied" franchise that's never won a Super Bowl and has one winning season in the last 10 (and, depending on your interpretation of such things, has only existed since 1999). Also, you got t...
