Last year, Jake Paul was in the process of “transitioning” from being a Cleveland Browns fan.
“It's been 26 years of torture,” the YouTuber-turned-boxer told Fox News Digital at the time.
Now, add the 27th.

The Browns are 1-5 to start the season, Deshaun Watson isn't doing well, and they just traded away Amari Cooper.
Simply put, it is a “curse” and all problems stem from who is under the center, Paul said.
“Everything revolves around the quarterback. We've had more quarterbacks than we've had in the last 20 years. It's really disappointing,” Paul told Fox News Digital last week. “When you're paying lousy players $60 million a year, the rest of your operation starts to fall apart because of that. Key players are overpaid, they can't throw passes, they can't run the ball, and you can't do anything. , and you just screwed up from there.”
The Browns have only made the playoffs twice since their original franchise became the Baltimore Ravens in 1999.

One of Paul's best friends, Aaron Rodgers, is still alive and they even went on an ayahuasca retreat together last year. But the New York Jets are off limits.
“I think there's also a Jets curse. … The Jets and Browns will never figure it out,” he said.
Paul said he is considering becoming a Cincinnati Bengals fan. Now, he'll have a choice to make this weekend, as his hometown Browns play the Bengals in Cincy on Sunday.
Perhaps these are Jake Paul's prize.

It wasn't all smooth sailing for the Bengals, who had 2 wins and 4 losses. But they're coming off a much-needed win against the Giants, and the Browns are the definition of the right game at the moment.
