28. Cleveland Browns

28. Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns fans have almost made it a running joke to display their discontent with their franchise's performance over the past decade plus. For some reason, the Cleveland Browns can never get it together. Honestly, we're not exactly how the organization's front office isn't embarrassed by the team's performance every season but, this year the team almost had a .500 season after going 7-8.

Fortunately for the Browns, former Oklahoma quarterback, Baker Mayfield, has been able to provide the franchise with the spark that they needed to start winning some games after going 0-16 in the 2017-18 NFL season. Honestly, we shouldn't expect much from a team who's won only eight games over the past three NFL seasons but somehow their not dead last in fan base rankings. The Cleveland Browns ranked 24th in fan equity, 20th in social equity (most likely because the entire nation was laughing at them), and 31st in road equity.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
