It was part of a series of storms that swept the Dallas area, and resulted in the RoughRiders' game being postponed in the...
Goalkeeper Blows Game With Enormous Boner In Added Time
Poor Dimitrios Konstantopoulos.

As more non-denials come out, it appears the Browns did make some attempt to trade for 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. There's enough smoke to assume that something was at least smoldering. But much more interesting than the "what" is the "why," and the growing sense that all is not well in Ninerland....
