In the where-were-you-a-year-ago news category, there's this dispatch from Buffalo News NFL writer Vic Carucci.
Oh. So yeah, there might be one or two storylines with this year's program. It would almost be a major disappointment — short of the madball Philadelphia Eagles or Rex Ryan's Buffalo Bills circus landing the show — if HBO didn't come to Berea, Ohio this summer.
Here's a random sampling of what we could be in store for this August:
• Is Johnny Manziel healthy, (still) wealthy and wise?
• Will Josh Gordon be selling used cars outside the team facility in a Terrell Owens-esque bird to the team and league?
• Can Josh McCown use his powers of motivation and extreme mediocrity for good?
• How many times will team owner Jimmy Haslam speak, and of those times, how many will his foot stay out of his mouth?
• Can a Browns receiver score a touchdown? (This is no farce.)
• Will all of head coach Mike Pettine's hair fall out?
OK, so that last one might be a bit anticlimactic. But this is a team that is made for this sort of spectacle, and things could go horribly wrong, as many people believe, or things could turn upside down and this could be the start of the feel-good story of the fall.
Either way, we're watching it. You know, if it happens.
