Little known fact:  The Cleveland Browns were once a proud franchise that won eight championships (four in the defunct AAFC and four in the NFL).

Those of us younger than 40 know the Browns as one of the greatest laughing stocks in all of professional sports.

The modern day Browns have finally taken their toll on the franchise’s overall record as Thursday night’s 28-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens has dropped their all-time record to 461-461-10.

For the first team in franchise history, the Browns are embarking on being a sub-.500 team and that is likely to come as early as next Sunday when Cleveland hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers.
