CLEVELAND -- There are rebuilding projects and then there are the Cleveland Browns, a floundering franchise currently on the wrong end of the NFLs food chain.Fixing the Browns is a daunting task, some might argue an impossible one. But Hue Jackson, who has gotten a second head-coaching gig after a five-year wait, believes hes just the man for the job.Ive bit off the apple, he said.Yeah, and its pretty rotten.The Browns havent been relevant in years. With just two winning seasons and one playoff appearance since 1999, theyve spent more time shuffling in front offices, coaches and starting quarterbacks -- theyre on No. 25 in 17 seasons -- than anything else and there is little reason to think the 2016 season will be any different.Dont tell that to Jackson, who went 8-8 with Oakland in 2011 and is convinced better days are ahead for the brown and orange.Jackson oozes optimism, even if he knows deep down that Clevelands return to respectability wont take place without hard work, patience and some luck. Hes accepted that Clevelands new front office of analytical thinkers must gut the framework of the Browns roster before any true development can occur.Jackson must now balance the progress he sees in young players with results on the scoreboard.Its hard, said the 50-year-old Jackson, who spent the past two seasons as Cincinnatis offensive coordinator. Its really hard and thats one thing that is new for me. Theres a certain result that you are expecting and youve seen and you want to accomplish all the time. But Ive learned that theres a process and Im in the process, the beginning stages of it, but I also know myself well enough to know that were going to win.When thats going to be, I dont know the answer to that, but I know were going to win.Clevelands success this season will hinge on whether quarterback Robert Griffin III can revive his career with the Browns following a freefall with Washington. With Jacksons urging after he worked out the 26-year-old QB, the Browns signed RG3 to a two-year, $15 million contract -- a low-risk, high-reward investment that could accelerate the Browns reconstruction or force the team to use a high draft pick next year on a quarterback.From his days with the Raiders, Jackson learned he cant do it alone. It takes a village to raise a team, and that no matter how hard he work, how he stays in his office pouring over a game plan or how many times he shows a rookie wide receiver how to run the proper route, things arent going to go according to plan.Youve got to have the wherewithal to deal with that, said Jackson, the Browns fifth coach since 2010. Some people can and some people cant. I understand that youre not going to win them all and youre not going to lose them all, but somewhere in the middle. But hopefully you win more than you lose.As they embark on whats expected to another rough season, here are five more things to watch with the Browns:DIFFERENT GRIFFIN: He showed flashes of his former speedy self in training camp, but Griffin is a far cry from the player whose scintillating skills electrified the league as a rookie in 2012. He can still throw the deep ball, but the Browns need Griffin to be accurate on those intermediate throws and pick up first downs when flushed from the pocket.GORDON WAITS: Perhaps the most perplexing player in football, wide receiver Josh Gordon will sit out the first four games serving his latest drug suspension. The former Pro Bowler has said all the right things about staying clean to this point, and now the Browns have to trust hell be true to his word until hes eligible.Gordon has been suspended for 27 of Clevelands last 32 games.MONEYBALL: The recent release of linebacker Paul Kruger (30) and trade of three-time Pro Bowl punter Andy Lee (31) crystallized the front offices intent to make the Browns younger while acquiring assets. Cleveland is stockpiling draft picks -- the team currently has two first- and second-round picks in 2017 -- to revamp its roster.YOUNG AND WRECKLESS: Rookie defensive linemen Emmanuel Ogbah and Carl Nassib will have prominent roles this season under coordinator Ray Horton, who loves to blitz and blitz some more. Nassib, who led the nation with 15 1/2 sacks last season at Penn State, had an impressive preseason.NO FAVORS: Clevelands schedule is brutal with five road games in the first seven weeks and no bye until Dec. 4. Making matters worse, one of those two home games is Tom Bradys return from his four-game Deflategate suspension and the Patriots QB just may take out some pent-up frustrations against Commissioner Roger Goodell against the Browns.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Jamar Summers Jersey .

Jamiyus Pittman Jersey .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. TORONTO -- Torontos bullpen is beginning to sag as the Blue Jays try to clinch the first American League wild-card spot.It could not come at a worse time but it has given the Baltimore Orioles some hope.The Orioles scored three times in the final two innings against the Blue Jays bullpen Wednesday to earn a 3-2 victory that moved them to within one game of Toronto for the first wild card.The teams will play the rubber match of the three-game series Thursday at Rogers Centre and it could be a pivotal game to determine home-field advantage in the wild-card game.Each team enters Thursday with four games remaining in the regular season.Ubaldo Jimenez (7-12, 5.71 ERA) will start for the Orioles and Marcus Stroman (9-9, 4.34 ERA) will start for the Blue Jays.The Blue Jays appeared poised to open a three-game lead on Wednesday as they held a 2-0 advantage after seven innings.Then the bullpen sprung leaks.Jason Grilli gave up a solo homer to Mark Trumbo in the eighth and pinch hitter Hyun Soo Kim hit a two-run homer against closer Roberto Osuna in the ninth.It was big, said Orioles starter Chris Tillman, who did not factor in the decision. I think that could push a team a long way in wins. It was a big team win and I think everyone played a part in it.This is a very tough place to play, Trumbo said. The fans, theyre always giving it to you and theyre very passionate. Sometimes its tough to get something going, but a moment like that, that was big for us.The Blue Jays suffered a blow this week when Joaquin Benoit suffered a torn calf muscle as he ran from the bullpen to participate in the melee with the New York Yankees on Monday. The Blue Jays would have to play deep into October before Benoit, who has been a key performer in the seventh inning, could return.It is going to put pressuure on the rest of the bullpen and the early results are not encouraging.ddddddddddddGrilli, who has been the eighth-inning reliever, has a 9.15 ERA in 11 September outings. He has allowed five runs in his past two outings, a total of one inning.Osuna has an 8.10 ERA over his past six outings. He is 1-1 with two saves and two blown saves.I feel good. Im not worried at all, Osuna said. Were going to be fine. Were playing against the best teams in the major leagues in our division and stuff like today it happens sometimes. But Im not worried at all and I think were going to be in a good position for the next four games.Brett Cecil might become a key performer in the remaining games and he pitched a solid inning Wednesday.Stroman will be looking for his first win since Aug. 14 Thursday.In seven starts since his last win, he is 0-4 with a 3.32 ERA and the team is 2-5. He held the Yankees to one hit, three walks and no runs over seven innings Saturday but did not factor into the decision in the game won on Jose Bautistas three-run homer in the eighth. Stroman is 1-1 with a 7.88 ERA in three starts
