Hereâs news that should surprise absolutely no one: The 0-14 Browns are hosting the 5-9 Chargers in a game that redifines meaningless. Both teams are out of the playoff hunt (duh), and the fine folks of the greater Cleveland area have better things to do than sit through some truly terrible football.
Hereâs Browns great Bernie Kosar with the visual proof:

Honestly, a quarter-full stadium in Week 16 is a bigger crowd than we expected. And, it turns out, some of those in attendance arenât fans of either the Browns or Chargers. Hereâs a ... Lions supporter? Yep, thatâs a Lions supporter:

In case you canât make out his sign, it says, âWe know the feeling.â Not sure why the fan felt the need to go to the stadium as a show of support -- we feel like a tweet wouldâve sufficed -- but, as the old saying goes, misery loves company. And, really, thereâs no place more miserable right now than FirstEnergy Stadium.
