Cleveland Browns' unveiling of new helmet on Lake Erie goes horribly wrong
For the first time in the history of the Cleveland Browns, the team will don a brown helmet for football games this season. To mark the occasion, the team celebrated by floating a raft out on Lake Erie - where things went horribly wrong for someone on the water. Officially known as the 'Alpha Dawg' uniform, the Browns will wear a dark brown jersey, pants, socks, and helmet this season. Despite being named the 'Browns' after former owner and coach Paul Brown, Cleveland's football team has traditionally worn orange helmets. The team decided to celebrate by putting a giant inflatable helmet on a float sent out into the Great Lakes with people on it to photograph the object - and to pull back a cover unveiling it for the public. Unfortunately for one person taking photos, they forgot they were out on the water. TV cameras from local news station WKYC captured the moment that someone photographing the scene walked to the edge of the float, lost their footing, and fell straight into the water. It's unclear what happened to the person who fell into the water. has reached out to the Browns for comment on this matter. The team rolled out the new uniform with much excitement and teased the launch days prior. ''Alpha Dawg' embodies what we set out to be as the Cleveland Browns, the leaders of the pack. We're excited about this new alternate helmet and the ode it pays to the rich history of the color brown as part of our organization, switching it up from our iconic orange helmets,' said JW Johnson, Cleveland Browns Executive Vice President and Partner. 'We look forward to the team wearing the all-brown helmet and uniform combination for the first time on September 21 at Huntington Bank Field and leaning into the 'Alpha Dawg' mentality throughout the 2025 season.' The Browns will make their season debut at home against the in-state rival Cincinnati Bengals on September 7. The uniforms will be worn for the first time on September 21 against the Green Bay Packers.

Football, football, football. The famous sport is an integral part of Stark County's identity. During the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival especially, when the NFL's greatest players are honored. That's when Canton will be in the spotlight. And thousands of football fans will flock here for the enshrinement and related activities. But there's more to Stark County than football. And if festival visitors or Stark County residents are looking for a change of pace and other cultural attractions to explore, they're in luck because the Canton-Massillon area is loaded with them. Museums, historic sites, good eats and cool stuff. Here are several alternatives to touchdowns and field goals: 1. Massillon Museum Massillon is as football loving as you can get. Legendary coach Paul Brown has close ties to the city and its football heritage. And the high school team won a state championship in 2023.

Permanent and rotating exhibits are spread over multiple floors. Paintings, sculptures, photography and other artistic mediums are showcased.

P.E.I.'s longest-serving dairy bar celebrates 70th birthday
Island resident Paul Brown was at Victoria Park on Saturday, spending time with his dog, Harley, as 70th birthday celebrations were starting at the Kiwanis Dairy Bar in Charlottetown. Brown remembered visiting many years ago as a kid. He said that the dairy bar is only a few years older than he is. "Congratulations to the Kiwanis, they do such a great job with this dairy bar," he said. "So, it's been around a few years longer than I have, and I've eaten lots of ice cream from there," Brown said the park hasn't changed much over the years. "It's just so nice to see people here enjoying themselves," he said. The dairy bar celebrated its birthday and grand reopening at Victoria Park, offering free hot dogs and low prices for fries and ice cream, at only 70 cents. The renovations are the first major update for the space since the 1990s. Dozens of people showed up to the event, including members of the cadets, firefighters, a member of the Canadian Armed Forces and paramedics. Basil Hambly, a member of the Kiwanis Club and operator of the dairy bar, called Saturday a milestone. "For one, 70 years in business, and two, that it's a service club that the funds … help the community." The Kiwanis Club is an international, non-profit organization, founded in 1915. It serves children around the world. Proceeds from Saturday's event will be used to support the club's charitable efforts. Karla Bernard, the MLA for Charlottetown-Victoria Park, echoed Hambly's thoughts on the business staying open for so long. "I'm coming to celebrate with them and show my support," she said. "I think that's incredible, 70 years … not a lot of businesses, or a lot of organizations can say they've had a project going for that long," Bernard said. "So, I think that shows a lot about the organization and the individuals involved and their commitment to the community." Bernard said the club does a lot of great work in the local community. "It's a service the community loves," she said. "Dairy bars are so unique to P.E.I. "I think it's a special gem that we have in Victoria Park." Longtime volunteers Shantol Clarke volunteers at the Kiwanis Club. "It always feels good to see kids smiling and seeing what we can do in the community and throughout the world, so it's awesome," Clarke said. Clarke said some Kiwanis Club members are part of the different organizations that showed up, like paramedics. "We have some people in our club that actually work in some of these places, so we just asked them to come along and support the community," she said.
