Perspective is something that has become so rare in the ever-turning and self-important world of sports. For that reason, you just never know where you might stumble across it. To be honest, I didn't even know I needed context to realize exactly how piss poor a professional football team has to be to collect one win in two seasons, but the only thing more surprising than someone fully dilating my eyes to the complete and total incompetence required for 1-31 is who that someone happened to be. RG3. By way of a snarky fan, the Cleveland Browns got buried by RG3. The same RG3 that went from Heisman winner - to - NFL 'Rookie Of The Year' - to - locker room outcast - to - arrogant All Star in the 'Over 40' league at the local YMCA... ...to self-promoting his waning NFL eligibility in the same way that a highly inefficient Island-dweller might try to shake free from sustenance... I thought I had an idea of the extent of the Cleveland Browns' ineptitude. That is, until I saw the upper hand of someone that feels like he's been out of the league for 3-4 years come rifling across the face of the entirety of a professional organization. RG3 can still technically claim that a team hasn't been the same since he left, and not mean it in a sarcastic or self deprecating way. The guy whose better as a punchline than as a passer just went all-in and flipped over the trump card on an NFL franchise, and - for that reason alone - their record alone doesn't do their dreadfulness justice.
