Agreed, to a point. They were silly to break out the woe-is-me crap when it came to following sports. But when it comes to baseball, they had every reason to act like little bitches while expecting the worst. That shit, that pinch-me-I-must-be-dreaming stuff while the WS flag was raised - THAT was genuine.
I'll put it this way - I'll love it when a Cleveland team finally wins a championship in my lifetime. Absolutely love it.
But if that team isn't the Tribe?
The whining is going to continue.

I guess being from Cleveland its kind of like being homeless and seeing someone with a huge house and complaining they dont like the color. I do agree Boston is a baseball town though, so had some painful times - But at least they had some other great sports moments, where Cleveland is nothing but tragic endings.And as far as Cleveland goes , we would rather see Browns win over any other Cleveland team. As we are a football town/state. I do love the Indians and Cavs. But nothing would make me as happy as a Browns super bowl win.

That - the huge house thing - is a TERRIFIC analogy.
I'm not at all disagreeing with you, you're dead-nuts on when you compare our frustration to theirs. Noooo contest.
I was just sticking up for the baseball fans who were only mildly satisfied by the success of the Pats/Celts.

I don't get having a couple fav teams.
My standard for calling a team a fav, is they bring me join when they win and I cry when they lose.
I bleed brown and orange nothing else. Nothing else gets my blood flowing, I can't sleep on sundays just waiting for kick off. I feel sick to my stomach when they lose.
You can't be a diehard fan and have two fav teams, in my opionion.
In jon we trust!

You can be a die hard Cleveland fan and still respect other teams. I would never root for any other team EVER. But I can still say I respect some other organazations. Trust me, whenever the Browns lose I cant watch ESPN or any sports network for a few days. As hearing about it makes me sick.

I have to admit though, I am still scarred from the Boston Cleveland series where botson came back from 2-0 and won three straight by scoring like 400 runs- and cost Mike Hargrove his job, which to this day I feel was a HUUGGE mistake. I will never forget the people in Boston chanting Jared Wrights name while he was being shelled.

You and me both.
And scarred is the right word.
I don't come close to *liking* Red Sox fans, I just appreciate their wait between titles.

Sweet! Haven't posted here in nearly a year and now I'm asked - no - told - to have sex with a canine.
A gay one at that.
Plus there's a "poop" reference!
Couple all of that with a "your" and I'm so glad I'm back!

Beanpot, that's great
.People around here take things way too serious.

I try to answer the 'favorite' part of this question by where I thought my loyalties might go in 1996. When the team left, I thought I would start rooting (halfheartedly of course) for someone else. I thought about the Packers because of their great fans, but they were starting to dominate and I didn't want to be a bandwagon jumper. So that left me with another Midwest team: the Bears. But, in truth, I never got into it emotionally those first few weeks of the 1996 season. And not long after that, Mr. Tagliabue and others announced the resurrection of our team and that was that.
So, in short, I like the Packers because of the fan base.
My wife is a Lions fan and I would like to see them succeed once in awhile, if only for the city. Interesting and somewhat funny story from a guy from Detroit whom I used to work with. Each year he drives the 2 hours to Detroit for Thanksgiving and volunteers at a soup kitchen in the downtown area during the early afternoon before heading to his relatives' place for Thanksgiving supper. And he tells me that each year the poor/homeless come through the line and don't complain about a thing and are very appreciative of everything they're given . . . and then the Lions game starts on TV. Nothing but complaining about the Lions ensues. So, in short, that tells you how the Lions can affect the emotions of some of the don't-haves in the city.
As far as hate goes, it runs hot and cold with some teams. Right now, I absolutely can't stand the Jets. Everything they exude is what's wrong with sports today: Cockiness, arrogance, selfishness, look-at-me spoiled-brats with talent, and it's all displayed on reality TV.
Then there are the teams I just hate, period.
Pittsburgh: Respect their annual toughness and success, but can't stand them just the same.
Baltimore: For obvious reasons.
Cincinnati: I think I hate the Bengals more because of their fans. They are the most fair weather-come-out-of-the-woodwork-shouting-WhoDey pieces of garbage I have ever seen in NFL fandom. Obviously they have had to put their black and orange back in storage this year.
Don't hate anybody in the NFC, but that's because I don't see them play enough, but the Cowboys would be a strong candidate.

talking about mount union of course i have a buddy down there i went to school with and played football with hes on the team
i've had the pleasure to meet Coach Kehres and he is a total class guy. According to today's PD, Coach has a record of 303-22-3 in his 25 years at the helm. i believe that includes playoff games as well. His run has got to be the most successful in NCAA football history. i think he as 10 national championships.
Yesterday, his starting QB went down in the first quarter. The backup, Matt Pilotto, threw for over 300 yards, 4 TD's and 0 ints. Cecil Shorts, a Collinwood grad, may get drafted in the NFL this spring.

Favorite?.....There's only one...BROWNS!
Hated/disliked?.....Steelers, Cowboys, Ravens, Bengals.
The Cowboys are in there just because I got totally SICK of that tired "America's team" tag that was shoved down our throats for so long, plus Jerry Jones is so easy to despise.

Love the Browns and Bills Hate Pisspuke and New England mainly because Bill Bellichoke and the Raiders
-
love the browns thru thick and thin, bad and good and will love them till the day i can't pick up a shot or shit my own pants. the browns are a true history lesson in themselves..........something that i'm proud of and which often leads to confrontations not living in ohio anymore.
i agree with zombo though: i don't like any other teams.......i respect them:
packers, bears, bills. the cold weather teams who didn't sell out and build a dome or covered stadium.
BTW philly fans are the worse fans on the face of the planet (right in front of yankee fans) and FFFFFFFF boston too!

Update needed...I also hate the Jets. Their loud mouth coach, Braylon, & Santonio Holmes are too much to take.

man, i've gotta deal with both jets and giants fans living here in ny.....some are my best friends. do you know what kind of shit i've been taking for the last 20 years or so? not pretty. even though the media here is harder on their own teams than anyone could possibly imagine. jeter photoshopped into a red sox uniform on the front cover of the ny post? HILARIOUS!
how does that trade a pick to the jets for sanchez look right about now?

Besides the Browns,
KC always like them.
Hate- Steelers (because of their arrogant fans)
Cowboys (arrogant owner)
Ratbirds- Schmodell.
Bungles- biggest bunch of wimp fans in the NFL. Goona be a good one at work tomorrow. One Bungle booster was predicting 10 wins in a row this year before the season started. Have to ask him how 10 losses in a row feels. Go crawl back under your rocks. wimps.

Fav Team:
Steelers
Alternate Team (really there's only one fav)
Green Bay
Teams I hate:
Ravens
Eagles
Patriots
Cowboys
Browns can't make my list of hated teams for several reasons. First, I don't like the fact that your franchise was ripped from your city by Art Modell which makes it's kinda hard for me to hate someone who had that happen to them. Second you just ain't good enough to hate.
