Rumors amuse USC's Darnold
LOS ANGELES_Sam Darnold learned he disliked the Cleveland Browns a few days after the rest of the world did.

Cowherd then added an unsourced a spin to the report, name-dropping the Browns. The rumor was laundered through various radio stations, blogs, websites and television debate shows until, after a few days, Darnold heard, for the first time, that he thought the Browns were so incompetent that he might spurn the NFL draft
