Welcome to the weekend, Browns fans!
These two days have the makings of an exciting time in Cleveland sports. Tonight, the Cleveland Guardians look to complete their comeback from a 0-2 deficit and eliminate the Chicago White Sox in their American League Division Series.
Then on Sunday, the Cleveland Browns take their three-game winning streak to the swamps of Jersey as they face the New York Jets, who, like the White Sox, are reeling with a three-game losing streak.
It has been a rare occurrence in
Northeast Ohio that both the Browns and the Guardians play important games on the same weekend, so enjoy the fun, stress, madness, and everything else that is sure to come.
Onward to today’s edition of the Saturday Dawg Chow!
