Want more proof the Browns are cursed?

Gary Baxter tears up BOTH knees on one play.

"Browns cornerback Gary Baxter suffered season-ending torn patellar tendons in both knees Sunday -- a rare occurrence which could be career-threatening." (emphasis mine)

Rare and career-threatening? Of course it is. He plays for the Browns.

Guy's never been injured in his career. Signs a free agent deal with the Browns, gets hurt in his first season. And then in his second pre-season. He works and rehabs to get back on the field, and even before he can get to HALFTIME, he rips up both his knees.

Meanwhile, Peyton Manning gets hit low/high, gets his body bent completely over backwards and his helmet ripped off as a third guy hits him. He misses one series, right back in there.

THAT is what it's like to play for--and, by association, to follow--the Browns.

At least they finally fired Maurice Carthon. Finally. It only took six games of being LAST in the league on offense, and apparently the intervention of the owner and GM, but they finally fired him.
