Cleveland the city may have lost its lovable loser status in 2016 thanks to the Cavaliers winning the NBA championship, but Cleveland the football team is hanging on to that moniker for as long as possible.

Fresh off its first win of the year, in the season’s penultimate game, comes this news, via ESPN Cleveland’s Tony Grossi: On Saturday, the Browns took six buses to make the roughly two-hour trip from their facility in Berea, Ohio, to Pittsburgh for Sunday’s game against the Steelers. But along the way, the lead bus, carrying the coaching staff, had a mechanical breakdown. The coaches had to squeeze into empty seats in the other buses for the remainder of the trip.

Is it the worst that could happen? Of course not. But it’s just so Browns.

Kind of like this (which is the fans, yes, not team-produced).

Or this.

Sigh.
