A message received this morning almost stopped my heart and caused agony for Cleveland Browns fans worldwide. Quite simply, it was a version of this article's title without the extra explanation: “Joe Thomas has a new job coaching the Ravens...”
Needless to say, I quickly checked the message from an SB Nation colleague, who added the “Munich Ravens of the ELF ” portion of the message, and did the dive into finding out what was real.
Was Cleveland Browns legend, soon to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, really going to coach a team in the European League of Footbal?
