Cleveland Browns

10 reps on the bench press is bad ... REALLY BAD ... so says Cleveland Browns stud lineman Joe Thomas who says Christian McCaffrey needs to hit the weight room HARD.

We just spoke with Joe about the NFL combine -- and asked the 10-time Pro Bowler if Christian's poor strength showing will affect his draft stock.

"As we all know, there's no bench press on the football field," Thomas said ... "For the most part, your film from every Saturday in the Fall is what should matter."

Thomas also reveals the one question rookies MUST NOT GET WRONG at the combine -- and it's actually pretty hilarious.

Plus, Joe also tells us about BBQ joint, Mission BBQ, and how it's taking over! Who's hungry?

Call him the eternal optimist ... but Jim Brown says he sincerely believes the Cleveland Browns can turn things around next year.

The NFL legend was leaving Craig's in West Hollywood when he spelled out why the Browns won't be a smoldering dumpster fire in 2017.

For what it's worth, we shot Robert Griffin III a few weeks ago and he told us he's more motivated than ever to rack up some Ws next season.

Vacation is over for Robert Griffin III -- the Cleveland Browns QB says he's already snapping back into training mode because he's gotta make sure the team doesn't suck in 2017.

RG3 had been relaxin' in Bora Bora with his girlfriend, Grete Sadeiko ... but now that he's back, the former Heisman Trophy winner says he's all about BUSINESS.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Corey Coleman has been named in a police report stemming from an alleged fight at an apartment complex on Saturday ... but is adamant he did nothing wrong.

Sources tell TMZ Sports ... Coleman was involved in a massive brawl that broke out in a Cleveland apartment complex around 4 AM on Saturday.

We're told the incident involved 2 groups of people -- Coleman was allegedly part of a 4 person group. The other group had 6 people.

At some point, an argument broke out and it got physical. We're told someone was injured in the melee and was taken to the hospital with bruises and ruptured eardrum.

Coleman's exact involvement is unclear -- but his agent, David Mulugheta, has issued a statement denying wrongdoing.

"Unfortunately Corey Coleman's name has surfaced in a police report concerning an incident that occurred in the lobby of the apartment complex in which he lives," Mulugheta says.

Remember, John Elway has forgotten more about football than you'll ever know ... and he thinks the game will be good to RGIII on Sunday -- saying the Browns QB will "do well" in his first start back.

Elway -- who won two Super Bowls as a player and built a SB winning team as a GM in Denver -- was out in L.A. when we asked how he thought RG3 would fare in his first game action since September.

Griffin threw for just 190 yards and an interception in his last start against Philly ... but John says things will be different this time.

RG3'S WALLET MUST BE AVENGED!!!

The Cleveland Browns are launching an investigation into the pillaging of the QB's wallet -- which allegedly went down after his GF valet parked her car in the "players and family garage" at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Grete Sadeiko claims her wallet -- and RG3's wallet -- were left inside the car and when she returned ... the cash in both wallets had been taken.

Grete tells TMZ Sports she notified the team and was told "they are looking into it and are going to solve the problem."

As if the Cleveland Browns season couldn't get any worse ...

Robert Griffin III's girlfriend claims a valet at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland ransacked the wallets they left in their car during Sunday's game ... and stole all of their cash.

Grete Sadeiko -- who has been publicly dating RG3 since the summer -- said she left her car with a valet in the "players and family garage" to watch the Browns take on the Giants ... and when she returned, the money had been taken out of their wallets.

Grete posted about the alleged incident on Twitter -- and when people began to question why she left their wallets in the car in the first place, she roared back.

"Ain't about why we left wallets in the car we parked in PLAYERS AND FAMILY PARKING GARAGE! I should be able to leave anything I want there."

We've reached out to Cleveland police -- who say they have no record of a report being filed about the incident.

Josh Brown doesn't have a job ... 'cause the NY Giants just announced they've cut the kicker.

In a statement, Giants co-owner John Mara said, “We believed we did the right thing at every juncture in our relationship with Josh. Our beliefs, our judgments and our decisions were misguided. We accept that responsibility."

Last week, police in Washington state released documents connected to Brown's '15 domestic violence arrest -- including his journal -- where he acknowledged having abused his ex-wife.

The Giants quickly moved Brown from the active roster to the Commissioner's exempt list ... before completely cutting ties Tuesday.

NY Giants kicker Josh Brown admitted to abusing his ex-wife, viewed himself as "God" and her as a "slave" and acknowledged a porn addiction ... this according to police documents.

Jay Glazer says he genuinely cares for troubled NFL star Josh Gordon -- and says if there's anyone who can help him deal with his addiction issues, it's his good friend Demi Lovato.

A report that Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon and his posse were stopped by TSA at a Cleveland airport with a pound of weed is completely bogus ... this according to TSA sources.

The original Scout.com report claims Gordon and his security detail were detained at Cleveland Hopkins airport after screeners found the pot in checked baggage. Gordon reportedly denied the pot was his. The report says this was the incident that led to Gordon entering rehab.

But our TSA sources tell us, "The reports you're seeing are totally false."

One highly connected TSA source explains, "Gordon was screened by TSA last night (Thursday) without incident."

The source also says there has been no TSA trouble with Gordon recently. We also spoke with the Cleveland PD which also shot down the report.

Cleveland Browns superstar Josh Gordon is headed back to rehab ... the team just announced.

With the Cleveland Browns in serious quarterback trouble, Johnny Manziel says one thing's for sure -- they're definitely not calling him.

Seems RG3 is ALL IN with his new girlfriend ... 'cause he got her name TATTOOED ON HIS ARM!!

We're told the two hit up a tattoo parlor in Cleveland last month -- both got brand new ink on their forearms.

Robert's tat reads ... GRETE SADEIKO.

Boom.

Grete is the 23-year-old Florida State track star who has apparently been dating the Browns QB for at least a month.

By the way, Griffin is STILL MARRIED to his wife, the mother of his child ... though they are recently separated.

As for Grete's tattoo -- hard to see what it says. Wonder if it's his name?

Robert Griffin III's marriage is just about over ... the NFL star has separated from his wife and the two are in the process of filing for a divorce ... this according to Cleveland.com.
