"I just want to play football in the NFL," says Shaun Rogers about playing in Cleveland, Detroit or anywhere else.

I love college football. I don't need any excuse to watch the Central Michigan Chippewas vs.

Die-hard Browns fan Mike Randall made sure he put on his Sunday best for his important meeting with team owner Randy Lerner.

Is there a new general manager? If so, who is it? Not saying. Not saying. What's the reason for the ouster of George Kokinis, your friend and handpicked choice to be general manager? Not at liberty to tell.
