What 4 teams have never been to a Super Bowl?

The Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns have no excuse for failing to gain the Super Bowl.

We’re on to Super Bowl LIV — 54 if you are counting — and somehow four teams have not made it to the big game. Who are they?

Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns have not made it to the Super Bowl in either incanation. However, the Baltimore Ravens, who left Cleveland, of course, have been to the game and won it. Doesn’t help the long-suffering Browns fans.

Report: Browns’ Kareem Hunt cited for speeding, marijuana found in car

Kareem Hunt wound up in the back of a police cruiser after being pulled over for speeding.

One would have hoped Cleveland Browns running back Kareeem Hunt would have been smart enough to stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The running back, who was cut by the Kansas City Chiefs and suspended by the NFL after violating the league’s personal conduct policy in 2018, was pulled over by Rocky River, (OH), police Tuesday for speeding. The police also found marijuana in the car.

Per ESPN.com:

According to a Rocky River (Ohio) police report, officers pulled Hunt over for speeding and noticed the smell of marijuana in the car. Hunt was placed in the back of the police cruiser while officers conducted a search. They found small amounts of marijuana in a backpack in the backseat. Police seized the backpack as evidence.

 

Hunt was only cited for the speeding violation.

The Browns said they are “aware and looking into it.”

The incident that led to the Chiefs cutting Hunt and the running back being suspended by the NFL is in the video below.

Report: Officer won’t press charges in butt-slap case against Odell Beckham Jr.

An officer won’t press charges for the butt-slap by Odell Beckham Jr., according to a published report.

It appears as if Odell Beckham Jr. will find his way out of trouble for one of the incidents he was involved in after LSU won the College Football Playoff Championship Monday in the Superdome.

NOLA.com is reporting the 48-year-old officer signed an affadavit stating he did not want to press charges against the Cleveland Browns wide receiver, who slapped him on the butt in the locker room following LSU’s victory over Clemson.

The paper reports the New Orleans police depart could move to rescind the warrant for Beckham’s arrest, on the grounds that the officer victimized in the case has essentially said he does not believe his case is a criminal matter. But it remains to be seen whether the agency takes that step.

Beckham also created a stir on the sidelines by handing out wads of cash to LSU players after the victory. That created controversy when the school first indicated it was “fake” money only to have to backtrack and admit it was actual cash. How that end of the Beckham saga plays out with LSU administration and players remains to be seen.

Report: Odell Beckham Jr. faces simple battery charge for slapping police officer on backside

There is more trouble for Odell Beckham Jr. after his antics following LSU’s victory over Clemson Monday in the CFP title game.

Cleveland Browns wideout and former LSU star Odell Beckham Jr. can’t seem to stay out of trouble and controversy.

After stirring things up by give Tiger players wads of cash following their College Football Playoff championship victory over Clemson, Beckham now is facing arrest warrant for slapping a police officer on the backside in the LSU locker room. The charge is simple battery in relation to a locker room interaction he had with a Mercedes-Benz Superdome police officer Monday.

Watch:

Per Nola.com:

A law enforcement source said authorities originally sought a warrant for a misdemeanor sexual battery charge, but it was declined by a judge. The warrant was redrafted asserting a count of simple battery, and it was approved.

The difference between the crimes is not insignificant.

Louisiana law defines misdemeanor sexual battery as the intentional touching of the breasts or buttocks of a victim who did not consent to the contact. While it carries a maximum of six months in jail, it is relatively more serious than other misdemeanors because it is not expungeable in the event of a conviction.

Louisiana law defines simple battery more simply as “battery committed without the consent of the victim.” That crime, upon conviction, calls for up to six months in prison and a maximum fine of $1,000. It also expungeable for first-time offenders.
