I am looking for a new team

The Browns Board
55 26 2.3k
  • After 40 years of wasting my time with the Dolphins, I am shopping for a new team. I am from Columbus but now live in Florida, and am a HUGE Buckeye fan!

    So I used to like the Browns back in the Bernie Kosar days. And thought maybe I could be a Browns fan.

    They seem like a fun team to watch. Although that dude that jumped offside on the FG should be smacked in the head.

    So, can I be a Browns fan?

    Jim, you are from Columbus. You are a Browns fan. Like it or not.

  • I can't support the Dolphins with such a clueless boob for an owner. And I can't afford to buy the team, so I am just shopping around for a new team. I am 50 years old. I am running out of time.

    I LOL'd so fucking hard when i read this! Dude unless you plan on living another 50 years, like somebody else said, RUN!

  • I say welcome aboard. You must be a masochist but aren't we all?

    No you can't.

    If you are "shopping" for a new team, you came to the wrong fucking place.

    That guy that jumped offsides? I hope he fucks your wife.

    And lets you eat the jism, Buckeye Jism.

    You really belong in an asylum somewhere.

  • I would say...first seek professional help. Then....either quit the drinking and taking drugs or....if you're not doing either, it's time to start.

  • To be honest Jim, if you are from Ohio and not exactly in Greater Cincinnati you should have never been a Miami Dolphins fan in the first place. That's just a fact of nature.

    Also I have to call foul on an actual fan of any team to jump ship because their team is sucking.

    If you don't have a bond with your team then you might as well just get up every morning look at the NFL standings go to your closet and select one of 32 jerseys to wear for that week.

    I'm not trying to be insulting but it's kind of like picking a religion on the basis of which churches synagogues or mosques are closest to your house or have a nicer parking lot.

    Same with being a sports fan, especially the Cleveland Browns. If you don't truly believe you won't be saved...

    Definitely not a troll. I was watching the Browns before you were born.

    So you've been watching the Browns since 1954? Doubt it.

  • 50 year old man "shopping" for a new team? Find a different hobby.

    Yeah, at least wait until you are 67. 😮

  • Here's the thing, Jim -

    You went and became a dolphins fan...because Dan Marino was pretty?

    or, they were a good team with two bruising rb's? (I went to school with Larry Czonka's

    sister - she was cool )...

    and now you want to be a Browns fan?

    Well - you're from Ohio, so my guess is, that you don't have the intestinal fortitude.

    No offense - but most of us have ALWAYS been Browns fans - we never went and

    pretended to be a fan of winning teams, only to jump teams when other teams are winning.

    I've known a few guys like that - Niner fans when they were good... steeler fans, GB, Baltiwhore...

    Seattle... and of course, the dirtbag new england scum sucking pats....

    I've been a huge fan since I was old enough to watch Leroy Kelly - the REAL great rb... play...

    That puts me about as young as Diehard and other older guys.....

    How can we know if you can be a Browns fan or not? Ya can't just hop around for the bragging...

    you have to get tough and suffer until the Browns start winning, after stopping firing coaches,

    and they get it all correct.

    And that takes courage, and guts to hang in there. And more than a few rootbeers on the rocks to

    lessen the stress of the losing.....

  • Yeah, this is a grisled corps of hardcore fans.

    You don't have what it takes to bitch about [player/coach/owner/gm/hotdog stand guy] every week until you get a new one, then call him a savior, then bitch about him two weeks after that.

    Pretty much my thoughts. I'm a Browns fan no matter what. If the Browns had never come back after the move of 1995, I would still watch the NFL but I wouldn't be a fan of any team.

    I probably wouldn't even watch football. I tried being a Ravens fan after that. It didn't work out. Hardwired is hardwired.

    I watched....but I suddenly didn't care all that much about who won. It was all my fantasy team and what teams I bet on. If I "cheered" for anyone, I cheered for the Packers and Bears. Seemed like similiar cities and fan bases to Cleveland.

    Yeah - same place sheppie went, I think. He is a good bit younger, I don't know

    what the hell happened that such a nitwilly eggsucking picklepuss was possible to have come from there...

    Ya, even sober Zombo cringed when he read that.

    Poor dude picked the wrong day to inquire about become a Browns fan.

    I guess he won't be be coming back.

    I deleted the offending post.

    Because I'm a Nazi.

  • They fired philbin so that dude is satisfied now. He wont be back. It really amazes my how people can change their allegiances like i change my daughters diapers. Ive gotten mad after losses like yesterday and invisioned myself rooting for another team like the packers. But always came right back to the conclusion that its just not right and it would feel dirty and awkward. One day whwn this team does actually win the superbowl we will have more fulfillment than any sports fan has ever had. I long for that day. Until then we just keep on keeping on.
