Browns should have won that playoff game vs. Pittsburgh. It's a shame the Browns didn't make the playoffs during their 10-6 campaign a few years back.

That is because the Colts in essence purposely tanked a game which, if they had won, would have put the Browns in the playoffs.
That said, the Browns didn't take care of their own business due to DA throwing what? 4-5 ints. vs. the Bengals?

Along those lines and keeping with the thread, the following teams have had double digit wins (10 or more) and failed to make the postseason since 2000:
2003 Dolphins
2005 Chiefs
2007 Browns
2008 Pats (11-5)
2010 Giants
2010 Buccaneers
2012 Bears
So those Browns were not alone.

I am one to advocate for new blood to win titles....but in this June title season in the NBA and NHL, there is no new blood. It seems like in the rest of America, the fat cats just get fatter. Cities potentially in line for a title this year are the same cities that have been winning:
Miami and San Antonio in basketball
Boston, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and LA in Hockey
-
To further emphasize the fat cat point, here are the total titles won in the 2000 Millenium by team from various cities:
LA/Anaheim 8 titles
Boston/NE 7 titles
NY/NJ 6 titles
Miami 3 titles
Pittsburgh 3 titles
Detroit 3 titles
San Antonio 3 titles
SF/SJ/Oak 2 titles
Baltimore 2 titles
St. Louis 2 titles (3 if you include Rams SB win in 1999 season, won in 2000)
Chicago 2 titles
Tampa 2 titles
Dallas, Green Bay, New Orleans, Philly, Indy, Raleigh, Phoenix, Denver...one title each

I'll give you credit Gip, you come up with some pretty interesting topics and tidbits.

Cleveland ... 0-30 for the seventies ... 0-30 for the eighties ... 0-27 for the nineties ... 0-30 for the 00's ... 0-10 for the 10's ... we're kind due, aren't we?

Actually, it is more than that. In the 70s it was 0-32...as the NHL Cleveland Barons were here for 2 seasons before losing their identity with a merger with the Minnesota North Stars.

Maybe I am a little harsh. Since 2000 Raleigh won the only title in that cities history...same with Phoenix, same with New Orleans...and Tampa's 2 titles were that cities first ever. And the Colts title was the only title in Indy's history since a few ABA titles won by the Pacers in the 70s. And San Antonio's titles continued a string that started just in 1999 with the Spurs first title.
