"In a fair world, Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell and other professional athletes would be able to post whatever they want on social media websites such as Instagram so long as they did not break any laws.

"The Cleveland Browns’ loss of defensive lineman Desmond Bryant for the season to a torn pectoral muscle won’t take the Browns out of playoff consideration, or take them from a 10-win team to a six-win team.
