Fans Flood Browns Facebook Page After Latest Kerfuffle

As the Cleveland Browns hit peak dysfunction, fans are airing their grievances.

The latest chapter in the Cleveland Browns ongoing saga of dysfunction could have been avoided by a simple email CC. If you’ve been avoiding Browns-related everything (and we certainly don’t blame you), the story goes like this: Minutes before the trade deadline, the Cincinnati Bengals agreed to send quarterback A.J. McCarron to Cleveland in exchange for a second- and third-round pick in 2018. However, the trade was rejected by the NFL because Cleveland's front office forgot to send an email confirmation before the 4 p.m. deadline.

The fans who are still following the local you-know-what show are understandably livid. Many of these fans took to Facebook to show their dissatisfaction with the organization. As of about noon today, the Cleveland Browns Facebook page had amassed more than 16,000 one-star reviews. Hundreds of these reviews came after the news of the botched trade broke. Since it’s better to laugh than cry, we assembled some of the best comments from the Cleveland Browns Facebook review page.

Jeffrey Simko would rather be watching The View, but at least he’s regained his Sundays!


We do not condone potty jokes — unless they're funny like this one.



We're with you Michael, there's no worse feeling than stubbing your toe again and again and again.


Ah, we see what you did there Austin.



Can someone go check on Chad?



Have you told him the tooth fairy isn't real yet Kevin?



Hey, there's a five star — oh, never mind.

Oh well, at least the NFL has taken pity on us by giving the Browns this Sunday off. So you'll have more time to rearrange that persnickety furniture, make a big batch of tacos, bond with your kids or write a few Facebook reviews.
