ESPN is reporting that former Browns defensive end Courtney Brown will sign a multi-year deal with Denver after turning down similar offers from Washington, Jacksonville and Seattle.

Apparently, the Broncos haven’t paid much attention to what’s been going on in Cleveland the past few years. Phil Savage and Romeo Crennel couldn’t get rid of Brown and Gerard Warren fast enough, and now the Broncos have both first-round busts on their roster. Rumors have surfaced that Denver is negotiating with Butch Davis to have him replace Mike Shanahan as the team’s head coach, while Dwight Clark will be introduced as the new GM later this week.

Monday’s 109-108 overtime win in New Orleans may not look very pretty upon first glance, considering the Hornets are one of the sorriest teams in the NBA (actually, only the Hawks have a worse record). But at one point in the third quarter, the Cavaliers found themselves down 17 points. They had no energy, no heart and seemingly no chance, but then they turned on the defensive intensity in the fourth, LeBron and Sasha Pavlovic started hitting some clutch jumpers and, amazingly, the Cavaliers walked away with a big one-point win.

Of course, any road win is a big win for this team, but with the Eastern Conference standings so tight, a comeback like this could provide a late-season spark as the Cavs continue to fight for position and make their final playoff push.
