The Browns Signed A Quarterback Best Known For His Trick-Shot Video
Viral videos are a double-edged sword. On one hand, a trick-shot video helped a D-III quarterback like Monmouth College's Alex Tanney gain national recognition.

Jeff Van Gundy got off to a rough start last night and didn't even make it to the tip of Warriors-Lakers before stepping in it.
