HBO 'Hard Knocks' 2018: Best Browns Storylines, Moments, Reaction for Episode 1

"How do I help this team break the endless loop of losing?"

That is the question the narrator for HBO's Hard Knocks presented to the players, coaches and staff of the Cleveland Browns in the opening minutes of Tuesday's season premiere, setting the stage for an episode that delved into the behind-the-scenes efforts of the NFL's punching bag to turn things around as fast as possible after winning one game the last two years.

It is time for Cleveland sports to turn over a leaf and idolize a new winner, and the first episode fittingly started with the large mural of LeBron James being removed from a downtown building.
