The tweet says it all: "Safe to say the Cleveland Browns’ new helmet made a splash." Below is a better angle of the viral video of a photographer falling off the floating dock that was holding the Browns' new helmet reveal for 2025.

The Browns aren’t unfamiliar with this situation. It’s been almost a decade now, but the perfect season parade, which was a parody of the 0-16 season, was a viral moment for the ages. This was followed up with all the chatter about Odell Beckham Jr.’s dad posting videos of Baker Mayfield not throwing him to fall.

The hope is this isn’t a sign of how the 2025 season is going to go, but it feels like a horrible sign from the universe.
