Browns Are the NFL's Biggest Week 1 Winners—and They Didn't Even Need to Win

What time is the parade in Cleveland this week?

A banner would also be a nice touch:

"WE TIED!"

It was Browns 21, Steelers 21, optimism in Cleveland 21 billion.

In what was a glorious and fun day of football, the center of the NFL universe was, of all places, the losing-est, sorriest, most-inept, most-laughed-at, most-mocked, most-quarterbacked place on Earth.

The Browns are where dreams go to die. Now, the Browns are where dreams go to tie.

It's weird to be so optimistic, and genuinely happy, for the Browns.
