New Cleveland Browns<\/a> head coach Todd Monken recently turned 60 and received an interesting birthday present from quarterback Shedeur Sanders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A porcelain horse head. Yes, like the horse head of “The Godfather” fame.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Sanders’ intentions with the gift weren’t akin to those of the Corleone family. The quarterback’s much more simple explanation? He just happened to like it.<\/p>\n

“For my birthday, I got this package. I thought it was from my wife,” Monken recalled in an interview with CBS Sports<\/a>. “[I] open[ed] it up, it’s like this porcelain, like, horse head. And it’s from Shedeur. He sent me a gift on my birthday.<\/p>\n

“And I asked him, I said ‘What was the meaning?’ and he said ‘Well I just really liked it.’ [He] said ‘I got myself one.’ I said ‘Well great.'”<\/p>\n

For Browns fans hoping the similarities to the famed mob movie scene aren’t a negative omen, there is at least one equestrian-themed connection that offers a more positive outlook — the horse is the Lunar New Year animal for 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken recently turned 60 and received an interesting birthday present from quarterback…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":506025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-506024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/506025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
