The Cleveland Browns’ trip to Indianapolis was delayed almost four hours Saturday when the team plane got stuck in the mud at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.

The team was looking for a way to simultaneously annoy their players and create a perfect metaphor for the franchise’s return to Cleveland since 1999.

(Either that or the pilot miscalculated taxing to a runway. Sucks to be that guy.)

Tony Grossi of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports that team had to deplane and wait for a new plane to show up. They eventually got to Indianapolis at 6:30 p.m. — roughly three and a half hours after they were scheduled to arrive.

Defensive coordinator Dick Jauron has not yet taken the blame for the error.

Bengals Week Three game already blacked out

The Bengals have a shot to be the most surprising 2-0 team in football if they can defeat a banged-up Broncos team on Sunday.

Bengals fans should enjoy watching that game on television because they may not see a home game for a little while. The team has already announced a Week Three blackout for their game against the 49ers.

The fact the Bengals are announcing the blackout this early is a very bad sign for ticket sales the rest of the season. It indicates they aren’t remotely close to a sellout.

Perhaps a surprising run to relevance could inspire future sales. Looking at the Bengals early schedule, they have a shot to stay around .500 for a while this year if they can get somewhat acceptable quarterback play.

Mud Browns. I wonder if Holmgren was at the airport crying about their last loss that caused the mud ?
