Every time there’s some unexplained absence in Cleveland sports, I get nervous. If Larry Hughes is indeed the Scottie Pippen of this team, tonight may be a flashback to last year.

Nice Frye-Rothlisberger story.

The Browns-Steelers rivalry has had its share of streaks and droughts for both franchises over 55 years. But not since the years of Brian Sipe and Terry Bradshaw in the late 1970s-early 1980s have both franchises fielded a so-called franchise quarterback at the same time.

These two guys are gonna be around a long time, I reckon.
