Cleveland Browns’ field at FirstEnergy Stadium was reportedly damaged by someone driving around on it early Tuesday morning.
According to News 5 in Cleveland, the Browns notified the city’s police department and it is investigating the incident as a possible break-in, as it appears someone jumped a fence and used a golf cart to damage the field.
The Browns said repairs were already underway. The team notified the NFL of the situation, and a spokesperson said Cleveland is “confident that it should not impact” Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers
The Cleveland Browns seem to have opened up a can of worms when they signed Deshaun Watson to a guaranteed $230-million contract. Now the NFLPA wants it investigated.

On Tuesday, Ohio State football’s Twitter account revealed that NBA superstar LeBron James donated black and scarlet cleats for the players to wear when the team hosts Michigan on Saturday, which will undoubtedly help in the “look good” department.

It appears Antonio Brown was at it again, allegedly he posted altered images of Tom Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bundchen in the buff to Snap Chat. The post was taken down shortly after it was posted. What’s not clear is whether it was taken down by Brown…or by Snap Chat content moderators. Either way, it’s hard to imagine what the point of the post might be, other than just another AB dysfunctional attention grab.
