You mean the meat wagon? Yes, that is always where my sentiments lie when our AFCN counterparts play each other.

As far as I know the Cleveland Browns is the only team that's given birth to half it's own division.

The most pure, untarnished team in the division are those stainless Steelers.lol

I cant bring myself to wish an opposing player gets hurt and carted off...probably because I have no reason to be bitter I guess.

Not former spouses. Bastards. Both literally and figuratively.

Former spouses could be bastards too.

Still what a legacy!

The Ravens never used to be the Browns. But they were spawned by the Browns.

I don't really wish it either...its just smack talk. But it doesn't make me regretful when it happens merely because so many Browns players have had that happen to them. So its just a matter of equity.

Though I guess we would call them bitches rather than Bastards.

Would you like to put some money on it. I am cash short right now.

I hate the steelers but I at least respect them as not having been spawned by the browns.

I guess they are the one other "legitimate" team. Even a "big brother" of sorts, as they formed in 1933, 13 years before the Browns.

That's fair, and I admit I aint getting upset when an opposing star player goes down during a game...I say "oh well" its part of the game. Never will wish it though.

How do you bet on a point of view? Don't think there is a right or wrong here.

Not the current players, but the Ravens organization used to be the Browns. The entire team and FO moved there, and their descendants are the current Ravens.

The only Brown remaining is Ozzie Newsome.

You say they were spawned. I can't imagine an egg laying analogy, but I'm sure your explanation will be reasonable.

[The Cysko Kid]

I also view the Ravens as having been the old browns. I know Gipper fights to the death about the legal status but that is just a lawyer trying to win an argument. The old Browns are the Ravens now and they took the mojo that the 80s browns that I watched as a kid with them. The current Browns are the Browns now, but the organization has never and will never be the same entity that I watched back then.

I hate the Ravens for that and it really bums me out because those two superbowls should belong to us.

Actually kind of like playing word games this week, spouses of wives could be bastards.

I do notice not a whole lot of extra commentary here on this week's game (from vegasinsider.com )
