Cleveland: Disappointing Fans Since 1964
-
Just think, a Pittsburgh fan in his late 50's has experienced 11 championships in his lifetime ...6 Steelers 2 Pirates and 3 Penguins... wheras a Cleveland fan the same age witnessed 0. Sad. Very sad. A 56 year old Clevelander was in 1964...so maybe 1.

Why are the gods of football so much against us?
because our ownership over the last 3 decades don't know shit about the hiring and firing of key FO personnel.
hell modell hired belichick to fire him and move the team to baltimore. but at least he saw something in ozzie as a GM. everyone else since then and the big fart cleveland laid for not paying for a new stadium is the ultimate curse. mayor white should be tarred and feathered (if he's still alive. maybe him and marion barry are smokin crack with some hookers as we speak).

Yeah, I agree there is plenty of blame to go around. But we cannot forget that Modell brought a lot on himself because he was such a bad business manager.

yea, humility is supposed to be a virtue but I wouldn't mind experiencing some "pride before the fall"

Yep, for them they have enjoyed pure luck.

Tougher, not necessarily humbler.
It by no means makes me feel "humble" if by that you mean quiescent, meek, subservient, timid, deferential.
FUCK all that. Quite the opposite. I think wrathful, Proud, vain, combative, assertive, defiant....would be more descriptive.
Don't you?

Your descriptions are fine. I don't think the profanity adds anything, though.

Actually, obviously it did add something. It got your attention, clearly.
What are you, a prude?

No, but as a father I'd just like to see adults set a proper example for kids who read this board.

Lets get to consistently putting a good product on the field or court, and making the playoffs on a regular basis first.

Just curious: would you have rather the Browns made several Super Bowls and lost like the Bills did? I think that would make the pain even greater. (And I know I would have had to replace a couple of TVs. Only lost a radio on the conference championship games)

Yes, winning the AFC is a championship, just like winning the division is a championship. Of course the whole goal is to win the Super Bowl, but I'd rather be heartbroken AFC Champions than heartbroken AFC runner ups.

I completely agree. The disappointment at losing the super bowl is probably greater than losing the AFC championship game, but at least we would've gotten to the big game a few times.

Who do you think I learned profanity from? Hint: A DNA test would show that we are very close relatives.

Browns won't get any where near 9-7 this season. With their depthless secondary they will be lucky to win 6 games. But as the Browns lose game after game after game due to the secondary, Lombardi can sit there knowing he has those extra picks for 2014!
