Cleveland Browns Twitter is sometimes more entertaining than the games

The Cleveland Browns may not always be entertaining on the field, but Browns Twitter almost never disappoints.

Cleveland Browns Twitter can be an interesting place, just not always for the faint of heart.

It can be educational, if you know where to look, humorous and maddening.

Just like the actual Browns, now that we think about it.

But it is at its best before, during and after the actual games, and Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers was no exception.

The fun started just shortly after kickoff when Fadde Mikhail, the agent for former Browns wide receiver Kenny Britt, took a shot at head coach Hue Jackson:

Fadde then took it to the next level just after the Browns dropped the game in overtime:

It’s not every day that you see a player’s agent speak out this way, but Britt’s tenure in Cleveland was anything but normal after he signed as a free agent last summer.

Many fans (you can guess which ones) immediately dismissed Britt simply because he was not wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, who signed a one-year deal with the Washington Redskins for less money than the Browns were offering because his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, misread the market.

Britt had a major role in his downfall in Cleveland, of course, but that doesn’t make Mikhail’s Tweets any less truthful.

Things carried over into Monday when Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon got into a Twitter spat with Green Bay cornerback Damarious Randall, who had a hand in limiting Gordon to one reception after the opening drive of the game on Sunday.

Gordon took to Twitter to not only respond to Randall, but also take a shot at head coach Hue Jackson and the Browns:

Which, in turn, led to Randall responding in what would not be considered the holiday spirit:

And since Gordon took a shot at Jackson, whether intentional or not, NFL.com’s Michael Silver had to weigh in to protect his buddy:

On some level this is all good fun and an example of trash talk between athletes in the social media age.

Gordon’s comment about the Browns having “several disadvantages” potentially takes this to a different level. He could be referring to the Browns missing several key players on defense, or that the offense is still struggling to put together a consistent effort for a full game.

Silver weighing in makes it look like Gordon is taking a direct shot at Jackson, who despite all his faults as a head coach has been Gordon’s biggest cheerleader the past few weeks. That may not have been Gordon’s intent, but Silver’s rush to defend his beloved Jackson could turn this into a bigger story than it needs to be.

It also further highlights one of the ongoing problems with having Jackson as the head coach, but that is a topic that we have covered in detail previously, so there isn’t much more to say about that at the moment.

The Browns will be back on the practice field soon enough as they prepare for Sunday’s home finale against the Baltimore Ravens, so this particular story may run its course fairly quickly.

But as the last two days have shown, Browns Twitter can sometimes be more entertaining than actual Browns games.

Sadly, there is nothing funny about that.
