| d New York Jets. It was his eighth one-and-out performance, coming hours after he was named Coach of the Year. His defeats have been epic and mystifying. There were ``The Drive'' and ``The Fumble'' in consecutive AFC championship games, when his Cleveland Browns came so close to Super Bowl trips, only to have them ripped away by the Denver Broncos and John Elway, Schottenheimer's personal nemesis. In Kansas City, Schottenheimer made it back to the AFC title game once - and lost. He also had two teams go 1 |

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -Cleveland Browns safety Brian Russell remained hospitalized with an elbow injury, a likely recurrence of a skin staph infection that team doctors believed they had under control.

Coach Romeo Crennel said the 28-year-old Russell, who was hospitalized in late August with staph, underwent a procedure to reduce swelling in his elbow. Crennel said d |

Apparently, an overpowering 27-7 victory Thursday night wasn't enough for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who gave the Browns a physical beating and handed out more than a few verbal shots afterward. Incensed by a late hit on one of his teammates in the fourth quarter by Winslow, Steelers linebacker Joey Porter made a derogatory slur questioning t |
