Why Your Team Sucks 2013: Cleveland Browns

Some people are fans of the Cleveland Browns. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Cleveland Browns. This 2013 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the 2013 NFL previews so far right here. Your team: Cleveland Browns Your 2012 record: 5-11. FUN FACT: the Browns have won either four or five games every year for the past five years. OOOOH WHICH ONE WILL IT BE THIS YEAR?! My money is on four! The Browns have lost 10 or more games in nine of the past 10 years. That's a large enough sample size for us to know this is no accident. You have to really TRY to be that bad. You have to deliberately plant staph fungus in the locker room showerheads and sign Jake Delhomme and hire Leo Bloom as your accountant to craft a failure this magnificent…

Hofstra, St. John's meet for first time since 2009

A lot has changed for St. John's since the arrival of Rick Pitino in March — including the Red Storm's willingness to play Hofstra. A local rivalry will resume on Saturday afternoon when St. John's is slated to play Hofstra in Elmont, N.Y. Both teams are returning from a lengthy Christmas break. St. John's hasn't played since Dec. 23, when the visiting Red Storm squandered an eight-point, second-half lead in a 69-65 loss against then-No. 5 UConn. Hofstra finished its pre-holiday schedule on Dec. 21 with a 74-56 setback at UNLV. Despite the loss, St. John's (8-4) continued its strong play — especially on defense — against UConn, which shot 42.9 percent overall and 27.8 percent from 3-point land (5 of 18). "We had this game, we should've won…

Vanessa Morgan And White Sox Pitcher Michael Kopech Are Divorcing

data-mm-id=”_02gtlmlp8″>Vanessa Morgan and Michael Kopech are divorcing after just five months of marriage. The "Riverdale" actress and the Chicago White Sox pitcher publicly announced their engagement in July of 2019 after dating for more than a year. They were married on January 4 in Florida, so things didn't last very long. Morgan is due to give birth to a son in January. Kopech filed for divorce in Texas on June 19, but no hearing date has been set yet. Meanwhile, Morgan announced her pregnancy on Friday and posted photos of a gender reveal party, but Kopech is nowhere to be seen. A rep for Morgan confirmed to the Chicago Tribune that Kopech is the father, but didn't give any details beyond that. View this post on Instagram Exciting news… I a…

NC Dinos Win Korean Series, Celebrate With Enormous Sword

data-mm-id=”_juun6fjdu”>The NC Dinos captured the franchise's first Korean Series this morning, defeating Doosan in Game 6. They are worthy champions who led wire-to-wire and showed little signs of rust after waiting around for an opponent. A trendy bandwagon pick thanks to their uncomfortably swole mascot, NC proved serious at the plate from Day 1 and their pitching came around to be in top form when it mattered most. They'll forever be associated with a bizarre but ultimately rewarding baseball year in which the only televised game was at 5:25 a.m. EST. God willing, fewer people will have to get their diamond fix from the other side of the world next year, though there are so many reasons to stay interested in the KBO.Perhaps the most persuasive argument can be made visuall…

Charles Barkley on Russell Westbrook: 'If I Had a Body Like That I'd Walk Around Naked'

data-mm-id=”_zd0bw9yyb”>Russell Westbrook arrived to the Los Angeles Clippers-Phoenix Suns grudge match last night wearing one of his patented insane-looking pregame outfits that probably costs more than everything you have in your own closet. Tuesday evening's offering consisted of denim shorts and a shirt of a similar-looking material with a flower embroidered on the front. Westbrook's twist on the fit was to only button the very bottom button of the shirt, splitting the flower down the middle. It was another eye-grabbing ensemble and the subject of some discussion amongst the Inside The NBA Crew. Specifically they were interested in the number of buttons buttoned by Westbrook and Charles Barkley gave a very blunt evaluation of the situation from where he's' stand…
