Browns open camp with high hopes

BEREA, Ohio (AP) _ On coach Romeo Crennel's whistle, the Cleveland Browns sprinted across the field en masse as hundreds of fans dressed in various shades of brown and orange hooted and hollered as if they had just witnessed a Derek Anderson-to-Braylon Edwards touchdown pass.



As training camp officially opened, a loud air horn pierced the air.

"Su-per Bowl, Su-per Bowl," went the cry.



Around here, they're dreaming big.
