A screenshot was grabbed by Instagram user The Real Slacker, and thank you to CBS Detroit and Bleacher Report for capturing the awesomeness.
No word on what Brutus was doing to the pinata in the Snapchat that wasn't screen-captured.

You should have seen what Brutus did on their Snapchat page...
Yesterday an ambitious, creative, devious Ohio State backer managed to hack the M_chigan football Instagram page and change the avatar to Brutus, and Instagram a picture of Brutus taking his frustrataion out on a Maize-and-Blue pinata. Awesome.

Freedom '13: Reaching the breaking point with the Browns
 |
| Just say no! |
Today's game against that bullying
big brother known as the Steelers may be the one that makes Browns' Sundays
just another day of the week for many people. Instead of watching the un-killable
Brandon Weeden start against the Jaguars next weekend, folks may take the
time to winterize the car, paint the den, or visit the new atrium at the
art museum; it's supposed to be very nice.
Breaking up with the 2013 Browns
doesn't make you disloyal, it makes you smart. Reports from FirstEnergy Stadium
had perhaps 60,000 people at today's
game. Next week's meaningless contest against Jacksonville may have 30,000 empty seats, and
if that transpires I would say, "Huzzah."
What we think the Browns will do today against the Steelers (Week 12)
Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh SteelersNovember 24, 2013
 | Browns 23 Steelers 21 | Oh who knows. This maybe should be the "Loser Leaves Town Match" indeed. Smart play from Campbell, however, should get the Browns an easy victory. |
 | Browns 17 Steelers 14 | This is game will not be fun to watch as both teams will struggle with the cold. Browns pull out the game at the end, finally we can say the Browns are clearly the better team. |
 |
Browns 16
Steelers 13 | If this franchise wants to emerge from its "typical Browns" stereotype of clownish incompetence, winning games within the division is paramount. A victory today would give Cleveland a guaranteed 3-3 record in the AFC North, so against my better judgment, I'm picking the Browns to take the duke. |
 |
Browns 16
Steelers 13 OT | Here's my BrownsTown pick No Sunday shtick We're taking down the Stillers On a Cundiff kick |
 | Browns 21 Steelers 17 | I have a bad feeling that the Pittsburgh D will have a plan for our one-dimensional offense... but since I'm off the entire week for Thanksgiving with a birthday thrown in, I'm in a good mood. |
 | Browns 23 Steelers 13 | This may be the four helpings of Muni Lot Hobo Chili talking, but I really like the Browns today. |
 | Steelers 24 Browns 17 | I remember wondering, when the Steelers were 0-4, whether they would end up with a better record than the Browns. |

"How Come Quickies" from our friend who doesn't exist on the Internet
Yes it's true, we have a friend who claims he doesn't exist on the internet. No facebook, no Tumblr, no tweeting nor Foursquaring. But once in a while he fires off an email, likely from his IBM PC Jr., and this time it included some How Come Quickies. One had to be edited out since it was such a private joke, between just one of our college roommates and Les Levine, circa mid-1990s.
How come quickies for the week......
How come in Fantasy we start 2 RBs and 2 Recievers?
How come we run Trent out of town because of yards per carry but Obby goes 4.5, 4.6, 3.8 and 5.3 in the last 4 years and can't get any carries?
How come nobody rushes for more than 441 yards in a game in 18 years and 2 do it this year in D3?
How come Missouri is considered good and their top two wins were against two teams not even in the BCS top 25 anymore, Florida and Georgia?
How come people think FSU schedule is so much tougher when they each will have played one top 25 BCS team at the end of the year? And if we win out we play Michigan St in the championship game and if they win out they play Duke in the championship team. And Michigan State is better in basketball and football than Duke.
How come people are too stupid to not see what I see?
How come people think the SEC is so great but a team the Big 10 wouldn't take leads their east division just a year after joining the SEC?
How come the SEC does not sponsor Men's soccer?
How come LSU's biggest wins are against TCU 4-7 and Florida 4-6, I'd say Auburn too, but their only win is against Texas A&M (who is crap).
How can anyone look at South Carolina's and Texas A&M's schedule and put them ahead of Michigan St? I could respect Fresno State and Northern Illinois ahead of Michigan St more.
How come even though Kyrie has missed a handful of game winners this year I still want him to have it 100% of the time.
How come Kyrie has had so many opportunities for game winners in 3 years?
How come at the beginning of the year when I watched Toledo almost beat Florida and play Missouri I though it would of been a big upset? Now I think they should be favored if they played now? (Answer: Kareem Hunt is now playing and averaging 6.8 a carry, finally getting some carries the last 4 games averaging around 130 a game)
How come it means more to lose to Alabama then to beat other teams?
How come the last round of Family Feud is worth more than all the other rounds?
How come the Cavs do not recognize how good CJ Miles is playing?
How come Pryor gets suspended for 5 game for trading autographs for tatoos but Johnny Football gets a 1/2 game suspension for selling for cash? And Peter Warrick got 2 games for shoplifting by using his status as a football player?
How come I can write a long email and not an article?

Browns' championship trophy! Get it while it's hot!
So someone found an until-now-nobody-even-knew-it-existed 1946 trophy from the Cleveland Browns 1946 season?
Shit--just make replicas and t-shirts and keep the fans' hope alive for another year, because today the 'new' Browns tried to trample it

What we think the Browns will do today against the Bengals (Week 11)
Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati BengalsNovember 17, 2013
| Browns 27 Bengals 17 | Seriously, I'm shocked to care this much about the Browns in mid November after that 0-2 start. Biggest game in years? Who knows. But they should be able to win with Campbell. |
| No pick this week | No pick this week. |
|
Browns 20
Bengals 14 | Today is a massive swing game not just for the season, but for the franchise. My head advises caution but my heart says, "What the hell, why not today?" |
| Browns 24 Bengals 23 |
Look, nobody in town handicaps the Browns like the Vox. I went 11-2 in this space last year and I'm leading CST with a 7-2 mark this season. But this week is rough; I've changed my mind at least a dozen times. And it's because I want this game so badly. So, Hello Again Browns...like Neil Diamond famously crooned "I put my heart above my head."
|
| Bengals 24 Browns 21 | Let's all take a deep breath. I like where this team is headed and actually have confidence in the coaching staff... something I haven't had since they settled on Chris Palmer in '99. But Cleveland fans are the Rick Grimes of the NFL - every time we think we've made a break through, a flesh eating walker, nut-job Governor, or dangerous virus is there to knock us back a whole bunch of steps. I refuse to let my guard down this time. |
| Browns 23 Bengals 20 | This would make me happy. |
| Bengals 23 Browns 20 | I want to believe. Sports radio says this is the biggest game in 6, maybe 29 years. But I've seen this show before. |

The Onion suggests Browns fans like to drink. Weird.
So I am a week or two behind in my handy-dandy The Onion desk calendar. I didn't notice until today the October 17 entry, which apparently is a rerun of a 2010 image of Browns fans'. Not too shabby. "Impassioned Fan Base Just Drunk" is quite humorous, I must say. Of course they could have chosen many fan bases for this--but it takes a certain amount of alcohol to make watching a Browns game in person over the past dozen years actually bearable.
By the way, this appears to be a picture from a game that you really needed a drink after. The 2010 Jets game, where the Browns came in after beating the Patriots and Saints, and lost in overtime, with :16 seconds left, on a Santonio Holmes TD. This game is remembered for the mole the Jets placed on the Browns roster, one Chansi Stuckey, once drafted by the Jets, who fumbled the ball in overtime as the Browns were driving toward field goal range.
Uggh.

What we think the Browns will do today against the Ravens (Week 9)
Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore RavensNovember 3, 2013
| Browns 23 Ravens 17 | Let's remember, the Browns nearly beat the Ravens in Baltimore, with Brandon Weeden and without Josh Gordon. Now, no Weeden and at home...can't really pick against them. |
| Browns 17 Ravens 10 | There will be good times on the lakefront today. These are not the same old Browns, and not the same Ravens teams from years past. The defense has a chip on its shoulder and will take it out on the defending champs. |
|
Browns 14
Ravens 13 | The Browns have been plagued by slow starts these last two weeks. Now that the quarterback position is as settled as it's going to get, it's the defense that's going to make plays to pull out the squeaker against the Super Bowl champs. |
| Browns 23 Ravens 9 | My lock of the season, so far. |
| Browns 16 Ravens 14 | I don't know what's more perplexing: The optimism following three straight losses or the fact that everyone in Berea thought Weeden was the best choice of the 3 quarterbacks to start the season. |
| Browns 27 Ravens 17 | We almost beat them with Brandon Weeden at QB, I didn't realize it at the time but that says a lot. If the Browns have any hope of keeping this season entertaining they MUST WIN this game! |
| Ravens 24 Browns 17 | We lose. (Kevin: "He's not the best color man in the league for nothing, folks.") |
