Bruce retires in 5th place with 1,024 receptions and second in career yards with 15,208. He had 91 career touchdowns for a career ...

Currently undefeated in 2010 and riding high after a four-game winning streak to close out the 2009 NFL regular season, the Cleveland Browns are not getting any good marks from Yahoo!

Who here is an avid Madden NFL video game fan? A lot of people are guilty of being an annual buyer of EA Sports mega popular video game, including me. But one thing that frustrates me is when people talk about a player being good in real life, because of his rating in Madden. I have to say that I am a typically critical of the guys over at EA when it ...

The Browns finished on a high note winning their last four games of 2009. Jerome Harrison ran hog wild (561 yards and 5 TDs in the last three games). They brought in a trio of QBs (Jake Delhomme, Seneca Wallace, and Colt McCoy) and Mike Holmgren as team president, but they still have a long way to go both in reality and in fantasyland.   Fantasy Playoffs Schedule :  Difficult Who ...

DeSean Jackson, along with cornerback Asante Samuel, missed OTAs today, and according to sources close to the team, no one is expecting them to participate at all this week. The news isn't all that surprising for Samuel given the fact that he skipped an entire week of voluntary workouts last season as well. He's cited as having "personal issues" to deal with, but who knows whether or not that's ...

It got a little tricky. For ...
