CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Peter King, the legendary NFL writer, told 19 News that the rest of the league is actually rooting for the Browns to turn it around and become a competitive team again.
King is promoting his new book, “The Game,” chronicling his 40 years covering the NFL, much of it for Sports Illustrated.
[The book is published by W.W. Norton & Company](https://wwnorton.com/books/the-game).
Cleveland is a surprising 3-1 this season but since Jimmy Haslam took over the team in 2012, the Browns have gone 81-151-1 and made the playoffs just twice in 14 years.
