It’s been a long time coming, but the Cleveland Browns and their fans have earned this. This week’s defeat of their nemesis, the Pittsburgh Steelers, came in the most unlikely of circumstances. Dealing with absences of coaches and key players due to COVID-19 diagnoses and injuries, and ...
The investigation is continuing into the New Year’s Day fatal Warren fire in which a mother and her young son perished. Right now, investigators are calling the cause “undetermined,” but an in-depth report released by the Ohio Fire Marshal already indicates that careless use of smoking ...
