Drake and LeBron James will be angry, as despite their best efforts, they couldn't convince Mike Pettine to bench Brian Hoyer in favour of Johnny Manziel, who they're both good friends with. Pettine has angered many fans of the Cleveland Browns and a Hip Hop and NBA icon, all with one move, so Hoyer had better prove his worth in their upcoming NFL clash against the Indianapolis Colts. Will Pettine regret upsetting Drake and James, and could this prompt a Manziel trade? Read More »
If anybody thought Brian Hoyer was going to go quietly after his benching, they thought wrong. The Cleveland Browns' QB has come out all guns blazing, verbally attacking Johnny Manziel, LeBron James and the NFL, and of course his team. Hoyer believes he should still be the starter, despite his recent slip of form, and he's not happy that he's been benched. James, the star player for the Cleveland Cavaliers, has also insisted that Manziel is "ready" to start. Just when it seems like the world wants Johnny, Brian's done himself no favours at all. What move will the Browns make? Read More »
It all started with a quarterback fake, a drive into the endzone, and then the famous 'money' gesture. When Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Johnny Manziel - Johnny Football, as we're so often reminded - scored a touchdown on his first NFL drive after replacing starter Brian Hoyer, it made Browns coach Mike Pettine's choice all the easier as to who would start this week against Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts. It helps that Manziel is claiming his veteran Cleveland teammates "rallied around" him during their 26-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Read More »
The Cleveland Browns are enjoying one of their best NFL seasons since their 1999 return, but that doesn't mean everything is perfect, particularly in the mind of their management. Jordan Cameron, Johnny Manziel and Josh Gordon were tipped to be the stars that led the Browns to astonishing things this season, but strangely, they've done just that, astonish the NFL, but without the help of this trio. The Browns will face the Buffalo Bills this weekend, and whether they win or lose, they could well trade these three stars, but for very different reasons. Should they save money and stockpile picks, particularly if they continue to win games without much impact from these stars? Read More »
Cleveland Browns star backup quarterback, Johnny Manziel, has revealed the details behind the alleged "brawl" that he was involved in at an up-market building in Cleveland last weekend, saying he and his roommate were simply trying to defuse a tense situation before it escalated "at all costs".

Calvin Johnson has battled injuries throughout this season, and his career for that matter, but he's back, fit, and raring to go. He helped his Detroit Lions to beat the Chicago Bears in their stunning Thanksgiving game. Rumours suggested the Lions would trade their star WR soon, but he seems set to stay after a recent return to form. After his game-changing performance, he insisted he'd be eating some turkey with his family, and then it's back to football, where he and his teammates Matthew Stafford and Ndamukong Suhare hoping to dominate the NFL and then go on to win the Super Bowl.

The Cleveland Browns and their QB situation has had more drama than a blockbuster, action movie. Brian Hoyer is their starter, and he wins games, yet he makes silly mistakes, and is deemed as unexciting, whereas Johnny Manziel is seen as holding the key to their NFL future, and an exciting, modern man to lead them forward. Many fans are split between the two, and just when it seemed Manziel would get his chance, it's all changed. After punching a fan in a hotel, it looks like the Browns might trade him, and then they will pay Hoyer a handsome salary to make him their man man for the long-term future. Read More »
Seems like Johnny Manziel can still make waves even while he's not playing football. Having barely made it on to the field during his rookie NFL season, the rookie Cleveland Browns quarterback is still causing plenty of headlines and headaches for the Cleveland front office, with this latest indiscretion taking place after 2.30 a.m. on Saturday morning.

Sammy Watkins was the main WR coming in to the NFL this season, but so far he has been out-performed by rivals Mike Evans and Odell Beckham Jr. Rumors have suggested that he's angry that he's not the main man, that he's angry at their performances and, most of all, still angry that the Cleveland Browns opted not to draft him, turning their attention two first-round players: Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel. After yesterday's snow-cancellation, according to ESPN, the Buffalo Bills will play the New York Jets, and an "angry" Watkins is hoping to show the world just how good he is, and then he'll be hoping to make the Browns pay for deciding against picking him. Perhaps it's an attitude problem that's holding him back. Former NFL quarterback David Carr recently said, according to the "Buffalo News," "Sammy, maybe keep your mouth shut next time." Carr was hitting out at comments Watkins had made, and it seems like he can be more bothered about the spotlight, as proven with his touchdown celebration before — and failing — to score a TD in a recent game. Can he put his attitude aside and top his rivals? Read More »
Josh Gordon is back and he and Brian Hoyer are hoping to lead the Cleveland Browns to NFL glory, but could they both be part of an upcoming trade? The Browns are no strangers to making "big" decisions, as proven with deals to send star RB Trent Richardson packing last year, and his replacement Ben Tate a week ago. The Browns have talents like Johnny Manziel, Travis Benjamin and Jordan Cameron, and they're not afraid to make a big call, even if it means upsetting their winning-team mentality that they've developed.

Josh Gordon is back, the real (starter) Isaiah Crowell and Brian Hoyer are ready to rumble and they've just — perhaps luckily — beaten the Atlanta Falcons with a last-second field goal. Gordon has served his 10-game ban and he started the game well, and finished well, proving he had no "rust" from his long suspension. Crowell is now the No. 1 running back and Hoyer is still the quarterback and will remain so while he finds ways to win. It might not have been their best performance, but the Browns's boys have won again, and many are comparing them to the Super Bowl-winning New York Giants in recent memory. But can Cleveland go that far? Crowell is their new secret weapon. He never expected the NFL life to come so easy this season, but now Ben Tate is gone and he's the main man. This all fell in to the week where he was visiting Atlanta, where most of his family is based. Could he impress? He did just that, getting two touchdowns and proving that the Browns have a legitimate threat at RB. Read More »
This weekend, Darrelle Revis will do his best to stop Calvin Johnson, but even he has admitted that his fellow NFL star is a "man amongst boys." This is a shock to hear, with Revis being one of the most confident men in the league. Revis' New England Patriots welcome the Detroit Lions to their stadium, but that's as far as the pleasantries are likely to go, with both teams desperate for the win, but which man will out-do the other, and which team will come out on top?

Joe Haden loves two things: sneakers and stopping wide receivers. So perhaps one should take note when he speaks about either of these things. Firstly, he's announced that on Black Friday he will open a sneaker store. The defensive star is a huge fan of his shoes, having a different pair for almost any occasion, however, opening his store is certainly showing his love for sneakers is greater than we imagined. On top of that, he believes he can be better than Richard Sherman, and that his fellow teammate, WR Josh Gordon, will be back with a bang this weekend. Who are we to argue, especially if we can go and land some snazzy new sneakers? Read More »
