The Browns are 0-10 and with games against the Steelers (twice), Giants, Bengals, Bills, and Chargers remaining, an 0-16 season isn't out of the question. If that happens, the Browns will enter 2017 with Johnny Manziel listed as the team's most recent quarterback to win a game.
But not every Browns fan hates what's happening to the team. Maybe it's the promise of the top draft pick or maybe it's the idea of finally making history (albeit, bad history), but some fans are actually embracing the possibility of going winless. They're even planning a parade in Cleveland.
First, there's this: a Facebook event with more than 2,000 folks who RSVP'd as of Friday afternoon.
And then there's this: an actual application to host the parade.

Fingers crossed that J.R. Smith shows up. Also, fingers crossed that those Browns fans didn't just jinx their team, because if their fans want to actually see them go 0-16, you just know the Browns would be happy to make them miserable. By now, they've got that part down.
It's worth noting that the 2008 Lions are the only team to go 0-16. But the 2008 Lions went 4-0 in the preseason.
The 2016 Browns did not win a preseason game. So, they're looking at a potential 0-20 season.
History!
