The first hard-earned lesson of being a Cleveland Browns fan is to never get too far ahead of yourself. In the summer of 2014, the city was so enthralled with its new quarterback that his jersey sales zoomed all the way to No. 1 in the NFL. Johnny Manziel's No. 2 is now getting tattered 580 miles north with the Montreal Alouettes.
So wince or gulp, if you will, at this nugget: Jarvis Landry's brother, who also serves as his manager, says he inquired recently about the possibility of putting an image of Landry on a giant banner that would adorn the side of the Sherwin-Williams building in downtown Cleveland -- the same building on which LeBron James' iconic 10-story banner hung before he left for Los Angeles.
