Today's inactives:

Browns:

Brett Ratliff QB, Coye Francies DB, Jerome Harrison RB, David Veikune DE, Billy Yates G,  Brian Robiskie WR, Jake Allen WR, Arnold Harrison LB     

Lions:

Drew Stanton  QB, Derrick Williams WR, Kalvin Pearson  FS, Terrelle Smith  FB, Ernie Sims OLB, Melvin Fowler C, Jon Jansen T, Dewayne White DE

Why are White and Williams out? The News' John Niyo knows:

White, who missed practice all week because of a toe injury, will be replaced in the starting lineup by Cliff Avril.

Williams, who suffered a hip pointer in last week's loss at Minnesota, returned to practice Thursday and Friday but still was listed as inactive for the Browns game. Fellow rookie Aaron Brown is expected to handle the Lions' kick return duties, a week after getting benched for the Vikings game.

So be it. The Lions are up proverbial shit creek, injury-wise.

12:50 PM: Trying to find a web stream. Keeping my fingers...uncrossed. Do I really want to watch what's going to be an awful game?

What is the crowd like today? My blogging friend Scott Swarheit is there, and just posted on his @Swarheit Twitter feed:

Lions game about to start and Ford Field is VERY empty, with some noticeable pockets of orange for Browns fans. Very small crowd today

Thought as much...

1:15 PM KirchintheD Found a stream, but it's borderline unwatchable. Hell, it is unwatchable. Decent audio, shit picture. Choppy as all Hell. It's literally a guy with a cam pointed at his TV. But I'l do my best.

Crappy stream

Told you it was borderline unwatchable!

I HATE the NFL.

I HATE the Lions too. I tune in just in time to see the Browns score on a 59 yard pass, Quinn to Massa-who-somebody.

10-3 Browns. I'm wasting my life with this fucking team!

Lions are facing a 3rd and 4 form their 31...Northcutt can't hand on...wait, that's too nice. He fucking dropped it. It would have been short of the sticks anyway.

On 3rd and 11...I think...Browns convert thanks to Levy missing a tackle. Christ, things never change. They players do, but the actions don't.

FUCK! Stream died.

Radio broadcast is having a meltdown, as the Browns score again. The Browns had a receiver standing all by himself in the end zone, and Dan Miller is apoplectic.

17-3 Browns. I knew it. I fucking knew it!

Stafford throws a pick, and the Browns run it back deep into the red zone. CHRIST ALMIGHTY, this team is AWFUL. Fuck me, fuck you, fuck the NFL , fuck the Browns, fuck the Lions, fucks us ALL.

Branstatter on the radio: "I can't believe this." I sure could, Brandy. I called it, even if I thought it was going to be closer.

Cribbs strolls in for the TD. 24-3 Browns.

The Browns have a season high in points, and it's still the 1st quarter. STILL THE 1ST QUARTER.

Lions are driving, Miller said something about it being "character time." Fucking shill.

Aaron brown must have been listening to Miller, as he scores on a 26 yard pass from Stafford. Miller acts as if it's the winning score in the God damn Super Bowl.

24-10 Browns after 1. This is what Hell must be like. Spending eternity as a fan of the Detroit Lions.
