From www.examiner.com/cleveland, Cleveland Browns Examiner
The Browns (4-10) will face Cincinnati (2-11-1) on Sunday December 21, in Cleveland.
Hell: An endless place of suffering; inflicting pain and punishment.
I think this adequately describes the professional football situation in Ohio. While the Browns are having a season to forget, Cincinnati has not had the season they had hoped for either.
The Bengals lost star quarterback Carson Palmer earlier in the season to injury. Chad Johnson has had an abysmal season with only 540 yards receiving, while the quiet T.J Houshmanzadeh has been their only bright spot.
Here is the good news: The all-time series is tied between the two franchises is 35-35. So, at
least there is something to play for besides for "the worst team in the NFL" competition.
The Browns have reduced expectations looking to get snaps off timely and produce positive offensive yards. The brown and orange have a goal to score an offensive touchdown by the end of the season. With some luck and some holiday magic this may happen against the Bengals.
If the Browns don't score this weekend, it may be their last opportunity.
Next week they play the Pittsburgh Steelers.
That should be a fun experience.
Prediction:
The Browns will have a decent day rushing the football-- Jamal Lewis has his best day of the year.
Cleveland wins an ugly one.
Browns 10 Cincinnati 9

Before you have a chance to write about the painful game today, which I watched with several cleveland fans, I would like to point out that neither the Bengals nor the Browns are the worst team in the NFL. That would be our close neighbor to the north the Lions...
But we still both stink quite awfully.
