CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Browns this summer unveiled their newly renovated facility in Berea, and visitors could see several quotes from notable people on the walls that are meant to inspire those who work within them.

But who said what, did they say it, and when did they say it? The opportunity to poke fun at the Browns was too hard to pass up for Deadspin, which launched a full-scale investigation and put up a post late this afternoon contending that some of the quotes are not actually quotes:

Already, fans in the Twitterverse are having fun with #brownsquotes.

This evening, a Browns spokesman told cleveland.com that the quotes are available on multiple Web sites and are generally acknowledged to be faithful to their sources.

What in the name of Doris Kearns Goodwin happens next? Will Roger Goodell send a team of historians and an instant-replay crew to Berea to decide the matter once and for all?
