Sad News: After NFL Honors Myles Garrett With Due Respect Browns Head Coach Send Him To Su….
Former Cleveland Brown Tashaun Gipson Sr. gives his thoughts on the state of the Browns before he plays in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Tashaun Gipson Sr. was a valued member of the Cleveland Brownsduring the really tough years. Gipson’s time in Cleveland spanned from 2012 through 2015 before he left for Jacksonville in free agency.
Gipson was a really good player for the Browns but unfortunately, he was one of the few at the time. Over his four seasons, the Browns had a 19-45 record including the biggest collapse and disappointment in the history of the franchise.
In 2014 Cleveland was playing some of the best football in the entire AFC. After Week 9, Cleveland was 6-3 and first in the AFC North and the team felt like it finally was turning the corner.”We were sitting at 6-3 and we were still like, ‘man is this real? are we really leading the AFC (north)? We were all like that. The way that the fans felt, the guys in the locker room were like ‘man, we need to ride this wave!'”
Unfortunately, that wave came crashing down. Cleveland finished the season with a 1-6 record over the final seven games finishing last in the AFC North at 7-9.
2014 was maybe the most disappointing of the many years sinc
The tune has changed amongst the Cleveland Browns. They have a roster that poses a threat to every other NFL team in the league and more importantly, that roster believes it can get the job done.
The NFL Awards were a great example of what this team has. Myles Garrett took home the Defensive Player of the Year, Kevin Stefanski was named Head Coach of the Year, Jim Schwartz snagged the Assistant Coach of the Year and Joe Flacco was named Comeback Player of the Year.
While the team will shift a bit this offseason, the core will remain, and that core believes that they can make a bunch of noise next year and for the years to come.

Here’s what else we’re asking about today:
The eclipse is coming to Ohio in April, and we have been beset with warnings of cataclysm, apocalyptic traffic and chaos. It’s like we are in the Middle Ages with the doomsayers. Reporter Pete Krouse took a sober look at what we should really expect and why some are acting like it is Y2K.
Ohio lawmakers in the pocket of big tobacco passed a law to make sure more kids, particularly urban kids, would become addicted and be long-term customers. The law blocks cities from regulating flavored products. Lawmakers offered the phony reason that they wanted to protect shops that sell tobacco. Now we have Delta 8 products with THC in them being sold to kids. Are we going to see hypocrisy from our lawmakers in how they deal with this?
Poor Sam Randazzo. He says he’s too old and cash-strapped to go to trial as scheduled for taking $4 million in bribes from FirstEnergy while pretending to represent us as the top guy at the Ohio Utilities Commission. What is he asking for.
