BEREA, Ohio -- Joe Haden reached his limit when he saw that a computer simulation this week had the University of Alabama beating the Cleveland Browns 34-0.The simulation, run by Bleacher Report, was funny to some.It wasnt to the defensive back Haden or any of his Browns teammates, who have struggled through a winless season in Cleveland.Comparing a college team to an NFL team -- its disrespectful, Haden said Friday.Late-night talk show hosts Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert are having fun at the Browns expense, and a fan is planning a Perfect Season Parade if the team finishes 0-16.Ive never been in a situation like this where were literally the laughingstock of every joke, Haden said.Haden voiced the frustration felt by every player and coach in a long and difficult season. The Browns are trying to avoid becoming the second team in NFL history to go 0-16, and every loss takes a piece out of everyone.A Browns fan named Chris McNeil has planned the parade around FIrstEnergy Stadium. McNeil has met with the city of Cleveland about permits and as of Friday, 4,500 accounts had checked going on the parades Facebook page.Its terrible, Haden said. Youre talking about an 0-16 parade. ... Its very, very tough. It hits you right between the eyes. Because Im on the team, theres something I can do about it.The simulated game, to him, was the worst thing Ive ever seen.Thats a smack in the face, Haden said. It makes you very upset. Thats just a slap in the face. It doesnt make any sense. Alabama is great. Theyve got amazing players. Theyve got players who are going to play in the NFL. Weve got a team full of NFL guys.Players have seen coach Hue Jackson nearly break down at a postgame news conference when he called being 0-12 the hardest thing ever.Running back?Duke Johnson merely shook his head and said there was no way to put into words what its like to be 0-12. Andrew Hawkins tried.Its different, the receiver said.Hawkins doesnt pay attention to the external noise. He said he wasnt aware of the late-night jokes or the parade.Appreciate the update, he said with a smile.Once he heard of the simulated score against the Crimson Tide, Hawkins simply said, Sweet.Haden said he cant watch sports highlights or almost any game without hearing a Browns joke.And youre hearing it from everywhere, Haden said. Everybody is giving it to you. Theres nothing you can do but go win. Theres nothing that can change this but winning. Until we get that changed, were going to be the laughingstock.Haden has made Cleveland his home and is well-liked in the community, but he said hes not going out in public these days.Why would I go out? Haden said. Everybody in Cleveland, they recognize me. Im a professional athlete in the city of Cleveland. When its not the season, Im hanging out. Its just so much easier to be able to talk. But now, theres really nothing to say.Sunday will make 364 days since the Browns last won a game, a 24-10 victory over the?San Francisco 49ers?on Dec. 13, 2015. That victory came with Johnny Manziel at quarterback. The only way to avoid going winless for a full year would be to beat the Bengals on Sunday.But Haden does not see that as motivation.Theres no more sources of motivation, bro, Haden said. We keep losing all the games. You have to win a game. No other ulterior motivation can make you go harder, play harder, do anything.Its like were getting slapped in the face. Our coach ... We got to go get a win for him. We lost 364 days in a row. We got to get a win.We havent won a preseason game this season. We havent won anything. Its like, we keep losing. You got to go out and win.Seattle Mariners Pro Shop .
