Cleveland native Jake Paul rips Browns, Deshaun Watson to shreds: 'It's just a shame'
Last year, Jake Paul was in the midst of “transitioning” out of his Cleveland Browns fandom.
“It’s been 26 years of torture,” the YouTuber-turned-boxer told Fox News Digital at the time.
Well, add a 27th.

The Browns are 1-5 to start the season, Deshaun Watson looks abysmal, and they just traded away Amari Cooper.
Simply put, it’s a “curse,” and Paul said the issues all stem from who is under center.
“It all centers around the quarterback. We’ve had the most quarterbacks in the last 20 years. It’s just a shame,” Paul told Fox News Digital last week. “Paying $60 million a year for a terrible player, the rest of the operation starts to fall apart because of that. Your main guy is overpaid, can’t throw a pass, run the ball, you can’t do anything, and you’re just screwed from there.”
The Browns have made the playoffs just twice since being reborn in 1999 after the original franchise became the Baltimore Ravens.

JAKE PAUL PARTNERS WITH GREASY-FOOD CHAIN AHEAD OF MIKE TYSON FIGHT: ‘I’M A FAT KID AT HEART’
One of Paul’s good friends Aaron Rodgers is still around – the two even went on a ayahuasca retreat last year. But the New York Jets are off limits.
“I think there’s a Jets curse as well. . . . The Jets and Browns just can’t ever figure it out,” he said.
Paul said he was considering becoming a Cincinnati Bengals fan. Well, this weekend, he’ll have a choice to make, as his hometown Browns are facing the Bengals in Cincy on Sunday.
Perhaps these are the Jake Paul sweepstakes.

It hasn’t been smooth sailing for the Bengals, either, who are 2-4. But they’re coming off a much-needed win against the Giants, and at this point, the Browns are the definition of a get-right game.

West side Cleveland mom shot in her face during carjacking and lives to tell 19 News about it
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – On Friday, just two days into the new year, 38-year-old Cleveland mom, Tiffany Muscatell, reveals what happened that led to her being shot in her face by a stranger.
Woman shot on Cleveland’s West Side during carjacking
She spoke exclusively with 19 News senior reporter Harry Boomer late Friday afternoon.
The shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. in the 7900 block of Madison Avenue, Cleveland police said.
“What Happened? I was taking my son to my mom’s house, and a guy held me at gunpoint. Told me to get on the ground. I got on the ground. I didn’t have any money. He got into the car, told me to get my son out. It took too long. He threw me out the back and the gun went off. Then he took my son out and threw him on the ground.”
Muscatell was rushed to Metro Health Medical Center by EMS with a gunshot wound to her face.
She has more than a dozen stitches and is home to begin the healing process.
Several of her neighbors expressed outrage about what happened to her and her young son.
Here’s Howard Fetterman, who lives in the same Detroit Shoreway community as she does.
“Really, a baby with her. That’s ridiculous and insane. I think it’s disgusting for somebody to shoot a lady with a baby. They ought to catch the son-of-a-gun.”
Police found Muscatell’s car a short time after the carjacking near her home. The shooter is still on the loose.

Postcards from the Ledge: Happy New Year from Cleveland, Ohio!
We’re closing out another year as a species here, and it’s one last chance to send a thought to someone before we start the new calendar. Today’s cards all come from around 1910 (give or take a year or two) and, as with our recent Christmas card offerings, we did hold back a few that were definitely from the New-Year’s-time of their year, but maybe not quite as jolly in the sentiment. We do have a lot of embossed cards, which are personal faves, here in the archives.
Card Front: A very wintery-looking bell tower where the numbers on the clock have been replaced with “Happy New Year” and (potentially) a Freemason’s symbol in the center. A holly branch is over the top of the picture, and the border is gold and lightly embossed.
Card Back:
Written Text:
Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Marie
Card Front: A girl crouched down next to and looking at another girl standing on a fancy chair, looking at herself in the mirror (reflecting on the previous year?)
Card Back:
Written Text:
Dear Friend, I wish you and Mother and Sister a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Shall give a friend of ours a letter of introduction. Mrs. E Simmons
Card Front: “A Happy New Year” in stylized text across the top, some holly with an inset of an older photo postcard over it with the text “CLEVELAND,O. Public Square” written on the inset card.
Card Back:
Written Text:
Dear Mamma, May all the good things come to you in the New Year just coming. Gay.
Card Front: A depiction of the handoff of old year to new, from Father Time to baby New Year. The text “Wishing you a happy New Year” is written in gold cursive at the top, and a giant block with “January 1” is in the bottom center so that there can be no confusion.
Card Back:
Written Text:
A Happy New Year to all. From Lydia.
Card Front: A holiday-styled book, opened to the middle with ribbon to mark the page, with a painting of a house by some water in the winter on the left, and “To Wish you a Happy New Year” written on the right page; some holly underneath on the right.
Card Back:
Written Text:
Dear Agnes, we received the postals, and certainly were delighted to hear from you all. I often spoke about you, but did not know your address. Wishing you a Happy New Year and hoping to hear from you often. I remain your friend, Julia
Card Front: a border of lumpy snow, with the text “A Happy New Year” written in icy/snowy-style lettering across the top, with a mill near a creek in the winter.
Card Back:
Written Text:
Happy New Year to you and all the folks. Pearl
Pearl says it best here: Happy New Year to you and everyone out there. May 2026 bring us all the good news fit to report on the rest of the site, we’ll still be here in the Archives looking for new concepts!
