CLEVELAND, Ohio - Based on various reports no doubt citing even more various sources we are led to believe John Dorsey and the Browns are still considering quarterback candidates at No. 1.
If that's the case, you may want to reconsider all that faith and trust you've placed in Dorsey and his hand-picked front office.
They more likely reached their decision a month ago, then continued to compile information - as any good front office would.
Baker Mayfield almost certainly received serious consideration from the Browns during the process.
We suspected he would when Scot McCloughan, who called Mayfield the best QB in the draft during a January radio interview, joined the Browns as a consultant.
But the idea Mayfield or anyone else is "under consideration" at No. 1 must be false. Or at least you better hope it is.
Because it means the Browns aren't yet sure 48 hours before the biggest decision they'll make in the next five years.
And that inspires about as much confidence in the future of this organization as a flea flicker from the end zone.
* Ty Lue had a comeback for a Pacers fan who criticized his attire during Game 4.
"It's a new fashion," Lue said of his gray suit and striped tie. "You wouldn't know that. You live in Indiana."
Coach, I'd sit that one out. Your guys wore matching suits to the arena.
And they're not a British Invasion tribute band or a knockoff Motown group.
* If Lue was trying to say Indiana is less hip than Ohio, ouch?
* The Buccaneers will use former quarterback Jeff Garcia to announce one of its selections in the 2018 draft.
It will also call on a parrot to announce its fourth-round selection.
Garcia initially said he'd be announcing the third-round pick, but the Bucs traded their third away.
So when a reporter reminded him via Twitter the Bucs didn't have a third-round pick, Garcia let it be known he really isn't following the buildup to the draft and isn't invested in the outcome.
"Whatever the pick is, I'll be announcing one," Garcia Tweeted. "Don't turn this into some clown show dude. I could care less about who they pick nor do I pay attention as to what picks they have or don't have. I have a life."
So, in summary: one of the pick announcers has a 100 percent chance of getting the name right, the other is Jeff Garcia.
* Penguins GM Jim Rutherford lashed out at Philly fans (for good reason) after his team eliminated the Flyers.
Fans through beer cans on the ice, some of them full.
"There were frustrated fans," Rutherford said, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "They decided to waste their money and throw some things on the ice that they had already spent money on. I guess some of them have more money than brains."
Someone could've been injured.
In retrospect, heckling the opposing coach's fashion sense is preferred.
Especially if they're from Pittsburgh.
* At courtside of the Jazz-Thunder game Monday, Utah Senator Mitt Romney held up four fingers when Russell Westbrook went to the bench with his fourth foul late in the second quarter of Utah's win.
Taunted by Mitt Romney is a new category of heckling that did not go unnoticed on Twitter.

* Giants coach Pat Shurmur told NFL Media he "absolutely" expects wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to be with the Giants in 2018.
The Pat Shurmur we had here as Browns head coach would've added, "Or he won't be. Those are the two possibilities."
* You can either run the ball or throw the ball.
When you're not kicking the ball.
Or falling on a fumbled ball.
That was the Pat Shurmur Era as I remember it.
And those were the 9-23 glory years.
* We had a draft preview show at the Music Box Supper Club Monday.
Approximately 250 people with full-blown lives (sorry, Garcia) came out to talk Browns draft with cleveland.com writers.
It was a great night. And easy to admire the loyalty and passion of a fan base that has lived through 1-31.
It's even more amazing when you think the last coach with a winning record was Marty Schottenheimer and the only other one since 1970 was Nick Skorich.
And still many Browns fans couldn't care more.
* Sixers big man Joel Embiid says the Sixers are for real.
If the fact they've won 19 of their past 20 games wasn't indication enough.
* "A lot of people say that we have a bright future," "But I think our time is now," Embiid told reporters.
"We have a pretty good chance [to contend for a title]. We have a special team, you know, a lot of great guys. I don't think we need anybody else."
Fine with us, said every Cavs fan.
* It's rare for a team to go to the NBA Finals let alone win a title with such limited playoff experience.
I don't think it will happen for the Sixers this year. But since they don't know that, it might.
* Tom Brady's agent says he plans to play in 2018 and beyond.
Clearing up absolutely zero confusion.
* In one 12-minute period, the Rockets went from looking as if they were in trouble of falling into a 2-2 series tie with Minnesota to a 50-20 third quarter.
It was the most prolific scoring quarter of the NBA season.
James Harden had 22 of his 36 points in the third.
And if LeBron James wants to take that as a MVP challenge, all the better for Cavs fans.
But who's his Chris Paul?
* The only thing more entertaining than a Rockets-Warriors playoff series would be a Rockets-Warriors playoff series with a healthy Steph Curry.
Although I would buy the pay-per-view to see Lance Stephenson and Draymond Green try to dunk on each other wearing those sumo costumes.
* David West of Golden State was whistled for a technical foul during the Warriors Game 4 loss to the Spurs.
West wasn't in the game or on the bench at the time.
He was in the tunnel on a stationary bike.
Finding fault with players while they're on stationary bikes?
If only Mike Pettine had thought of that.
