Cleveland Browns center LeCharles Bentley asked to be cut this afternoon. The Browns responded with a should-shrugging "yeah, whatever."The man who was paid millions of dollars to essentially strut around Northeast Ohio in Browns gear for 2 years finally had enough. Apparently, he freaked out that the team had the audacity to play someone else in his position while he rehabilitated for 2 seasons.
Its been a strange 24 months for LeCharles and the Browns. Let's take a quick look back at the highlights of Bentley's stint in Cleveland:

Well, that's pretty much it -- we all know what happens next. Torn patellar tendon, a boat load of surgeries, a gnarly staph infection, contract reductions.
But man, you have to admit, that spilt second before he destroyed his knee in Berea was a pretty special moment.
