The Cleveland Browns continue to make headlines – unfortunately, not for positive reasons. Once again, they’re showing why they’ve been one of the NFL’s most dysfunctional franchises. Since returning to Cleveland in 1999, they’ve made the playoffs only four times.
Shedeur Sanders loses a friend in Cleveland as Joe Flacco gets traded to rival
This time, the situation involves a trade: Joe Flacco was sent to the Cincinnati Bengals – yes, an intra-divisional trade within the AFC North. The deal between the Browns and Bengals for the 18-year veteran quarterback involves Cincinnati sending a 2026 fifth-round draft pick to Cleveland in exchange for Flacco and a sixth-round pick in the same year. This move comes as the Bengals deal with quarterback issues following Joe Burrow’s injury. If all goes well, Burrow is expected to return by mid-December.
Joe Flacco won the starting job for the Browns during the preseason and started four games. However, he struggled – throwing six interceptions over that stretch. Eventually, he lost the starting role to rookie Dillon Gabriel, who made his first start in Week 5 when the Browns fell to the Minnesota Vikings in London.
Shedeur Sanders must be Dillon Gabriel’s backup
The Browns’ quarterback situation has drawn attention mainly because of Shedeur Sanders, who was projected to be a first-round pick in last year’s draft but surprisingly fell to the fifth round, where Cleveland finally selected him.
Throughout the season, Shedeur Sanders has been the Browns’ last option – their third-string, emergency quarterback. But now, with Joe Flacco’s departure, fans and analysts are calling for head coach Kevin Stefanski to give Sanders a real opportunity as the team’s No. 2 quarterback.
On Baskin & Phelps (92.3 The Fan), the hosts stated: “They’ve got to move Shedeur Sanders up, right? If you drafted him, you might as well make him the No. 2 QB.”
It’s worth remembering that when Shedeur Sanders started during the preseason – in that game against the Carolina Panthers – he played very well, throwing two touchdown passes and leading the team to victory. Now, it seems that the opportunity for Deion Sanders’ son might arrive sooner rather than later.

Aaron Judge finally gets his signature Yankees playoff moment with game-tying ALDS Game 3 home run
NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees have had a lot of problems with the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS, but Aaron Judge is not one of them. Tuesday night in Game 3, New York's captain launched a game-tying three-run home run off the left field foul pole to complete his team's comeback from an early 6-1 deficit. The Yankees have avoided elimination for at least one more night and forced Game 4 on Wednesday (NYY 9, TOR 6). "I felt like I made good contact and I thought we had a chance," Judge said after the game about the ball staying fair. "You just never know with the wind, if it's going to push it foul, keep curving or not. But I guess a couple ghosts out there helped kind of keep that fair."The home run was Judge's […]

Why Blue Jays’ John Schneider isn’t sweating that game-changing Aaron Judge home run: ‘Give him credit, man’
In the sports world, even the best competitors get beat sometime. At times, there are reasonable explanations of things that could have been done differently in the situation. Others, a player did everything asked of him and someone else just did their job better. When that happens, it's generally best to acknowledge that sometime you get beat and that's part of sports. Credit to Blue Jays manager John Schneider on this front, who did just that on Aaron Judge's game-changing, three-run home run off reliever Louie Varland in Game 3 of the ALDS Tuesday. That home run tied the game, 6-6, and the Yankees would eventually win 9-6 (box score), extending the best-of-five series to Game 4 on Wednesday. That pitch is high and off the strike zone inside the plate to Judge at 100 mph and he still turned it around and […]
