“Good news Cleveland fans, the Browns are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact they appear to be beating the crap out of each other.”
Good grief. Reports say that rookie Coye Francies, (you know, the guy that played lights out in the preseason and we haven’t seen again) didn’t take very kindly to a rookie prank and tried to get even-
Cleveland rookie cornerback Coye Francies, incensed over a prank, threw a bucket of ice and at least one errant punch during a skirmish in the Browns’ locker room.
As the team returned from practice Friday, a soaking-wet Francies, apparently the target of some hazing, stormed into the locker room carrying a water bucket full of ice. Before he could be stopped, Francies tossed the ice on cornerback Brandon McDonald, hitting him with cubes and covering the floor.
Francies flung some ice in the direction of safety Mike Adams before heading toward safety Abram Elam’s corner cubicle. Francies then swung at Elam before Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers grabbed him by the back of the shirt and escorted him out a side door.
“Welcome to the Browns locker room!” wide receiver Braylon Edwards hollered as players rushed over to check on the commotion.
Nice. I especially like the comment by Edwards. Yes Braylon, the Browns are a bit of a joke. Hmmm, I wonder who hasn’t helped that image at all?

This is a non-story.
Joke franchise.
I vote non-story ultimately.
Count me among the “non-story” votes…….though I can’t wait to hear about why I’m wrong and it’s actually another sign of the impending apocalypse.
It’s all a non-story right? Fines, fites, rookies inactive………no biggie. Big man is in control with DISCIPLINE. Ya thinks this will last three years?
B-bo you are WRONG!
The apocalypse happened 14 years ago.
WHAT A JOKE OF A FRANCHISE!!! SELL THE TEAM LERNER!!!
I wonder if someone red-tagged Francies?…
“I got news for you Mr Brown. Everytime I pitch against you, I’m gonna take this ball and stick it up your f**** a**!”

At least our publicly elected officials, like Eric Brewer, the mayor of East Cleveland, are representing us with dignity. And fishnet stockings and stilleto pumps. Google it – nightmare fuel.
Good I like that kind of spirit in a player.
Anyone who has been part of a locker room knows that this type of stuff goes on. 53+ guys in one room all the time leads to pranks, mamma and sister jokes, fights, and good times. No Big Deal
I can just see the beast that is sean rogers lifting Francies up by the shirt like Arnold did in jingle all the way
wow. really? Jingle all the way reference?
‘browns players had a spirited conflict where most of the team was involved and passionate, then mangini talked to his squad and they came out for the 2nd half of prank time flat and lifeless’
