Sacrifice for the Team

It is settled science that the Cleveland Browns are cursed.

To appease the curse the Browns offer sacrifice by maiming a key player early each season.

Every training camp Browns fans believe the curse will be broken.  Hopes were high this year due to an unusually robust offensive line.  All Pro LeCharles Bentley, a graduate of St.
Ignatius High School in Cleveland, would play center and protect quarterback Charlie Fry of Akron.  As an added bonus, tight end Kellen Winslow was 90% recovered from his motorcycle sacrifice of last season.

Bentley's knee exploded on the first play of the first day of training camp.

    It's true: the Browns are cursed.
