The Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers will battle it out for the Super Bowl on Sunday.
If you're a Cleveland Browns fan, you know that it's really going to be the "once-upon-a-time" Browns that will take the field against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The Baltimore Ravens play in Super Bowl 47 on Feb. 3 at 6:30 p.m on CBS (Channel 19-WOIO) It's the Ravens second Super Bowl appearance since 1996, when the late Art Modell moved the Browns from Cleveland to Baltimore. In that same span, Browns fans have suffered through years without football and a consistently lousy football team that boasts only one playoff appearance, ending in a heart-breaking loss to Pittsburgh. With all that said, who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl? Are there any Browns fans that will be rooting for the Ravens? Tell us why in the comments. Or …

It is the first time in franchise history that the Browns stadium has a corporate name, joining the ranks of other NFL teams who have done the same, according to The Plain Dealer. They reported that no details of the agreement between the two parties were disclosed. What do you think of the new stadium name? What would you name it?

After Pat Shurmur's firing, I let my mind wander about who could be the next head coach. Here's what I came up with.
Editor's note: Mitch Cooper is a field editor for Ohio Patch sites. I called for Shurmer's firing last season, and while it took an extra year, it finally happened. On Monday the Cleveland Browns let go of Head Coach Pat Shurmer, along with General Manager Tom Heckert. To be honest, I do feel bad for Shurmer. He was put in a tough spot. He came in with no time to work with his team due to the lockout and because, well, it is the Cleveland Browns we're talking about; no coach comes in without something going terribly wrong. Still, it didn't seem like Shurmer was a good fit for the team and the city. And his putrid play-calling didn't help him much. Let's be real here: If you have eight yards for a first down, don't throw a two-yard …

Updated, 2:40 p.m.: Fox 8 News Cleveland reports that Randy Lerner will sell his controlling interest in the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner has confirmed rumors that he is in negotiations with a potential investor, Jimmy Haslam.

Read Cleveland Heights' story about Cleveland Browns player Josh Cribbs and tell us in the comments whether he should keep fighting his ticket or go on and pay it already
1. Twinsburg Patch We found a bunch of great police officers in this video of the Ohio Law Enforcement Torch Run on Twinsburg Patch. Twinsburg Police Capt. Jim Savage had an especially great quote from the video: "Most of the time we're in dark blue or black uniforms, we're out enforcing traffic and trying to catch bad guys. But in this particular instance, we're able to go out, put our running shorts on, put our running shoes on and be out there in the public's eye and be doing good for people who really deserve it." 2. Kent Patch By now you've probably heard about the death of Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of the over-the-top antics show Jackass. One blogger for Kent Patch talked with some folks who remember Dunn coming into the Zephyr, …

Shreve, who keeps stats for Hoover High games, is the voice of Cleveland Browns Stadium and much more
Jeff Shreve would like to prep for his duties as Cleveland Browns public address announcer for an AFC championship game this weekend. Instead, he will be working on the stats crew for Hoover boys' basketball. It's all right, though, as long as he can be closely involved in any game he watches, said the resident of Greentown, located in North Canton City School District. "I would be bored if all I could do is just sit there and watch," Shreve said. Shreve began "working" games in high school as a statistician for GlenOak High School basketball. He moved on to Mount Union College (now named University of Mount Union) and started doing radio play-by-play for both Mount Union football and basketball. Shreve remembers two particularly long …

There is a reason that no one runs Chip Kelly's offense in the NFL - Quarterback Fatalities. It isn't plausible in today's NFL (even with the dumbed down rules). Kyle Shanahan can be fired too easily as his only credential is his daddy. We need a SB winning coach who cannot be fired in two short years. Gruden would be fine. more ›
