Know what it's like to live OUTSIDE of Ohio as a Browns Fan?
-
Let me (us) fill you in.
Throughout the day, like many other days, I get the usual crew of people show up at my desk with the $hit-eatin' grin on their face. "I see your team was ALMOST able to make a trade yesterday." Or, "Wow! You guys did it again huh."
It's every so often something related to the Browns is a new black eye. A new twist to the standard joke. It's not bad enough to lose every freakin' week...but we have to find unique ways of looking like total dopes. And it starts right from the top. The trial of the owner's company's executives starts in a few days.
Try being a Browns fan in New England.

Thirteen Championships. Tell them to call you when they catch up halfway to that number.
(NE has only 6 now: 1 by the Providence Steam Roller, 5 now by the Pats)
And, if you need to tell them when these were, they were as follows:
1920
1922
1923
1924
1945
1946
1947
1948
1949
1950
1954
1955
1964
And if they say....those are old, tell them that the only titles that count are the last one and the next one. All others are history, be they 1920 or 2014....that the 2014 title is no more signifant today than the ones from the 1920s. Congratulate them on the one and only title that counts....but that is as far as it goes.

You're not the only one. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of this board don't live in Cleveland.

I live in N E Ohio and have stool fans feeling sorry for me. And being nice about it. I've also lived a couple of years in N Carolina. There I'd just reply that Gen Lee woulda won the war if he was any good to any smart assery. But now, it just sucks being a Browns fan no matter where you live.
-
I also live/work in NEO and I work with a bunch of Stooler fans.
They all have the typical Stooler paraphernalia at their desks, and constantly badger me about the Browns.
One thing I’ve noticed about them, there’s not 1 Pittsburgh Pirate fan in the lot.
As a matter of fact, there are a couple of Indians and Buckeye fans.
I believe Gipper refers to them as “FRAKs”.

gip, the people our browns fans are working with and bantering them are not old enough to remember titles. sure it means alot as a franchise base but that base has to stay fluid and current with the times. most millennials were born between the years of modell moving to baltimore and the NFL reinstating the team. kids nowadays (like everyone else) live under the 'what have you done lately' category and if that's what it is WE HAVEN'T DONE S.H.I.T.E.
everyone hated modell BUT he had his fingers all over some of the best moves and transactions in NFL history. hate modell then i hope you hated the politicians that caused the move in the first place. IMO they are to blame. same thing in detroit and akron and.....let someone that knows finger try to push around a local icon and watch them pull up and leave while your grand babies are running behind the wagons, crying and pulling at people's boot strings.
pretty easy class. don't Shmuck with zeus.

It's awesome when you run into other Browns' fans because we are a tight knit group.
It sucks because our horrendous football team is what makes us a tight knit group.
Also I'm sick of the sympathy.

At least we’ll never be considered front running - band wagon jumping - fair weathered fans.

I would love a Super Bowl but don't need it but at this Shmucking point 8-8 would make me dance naked in the streets

Or the old enough to read all of the old enough to look at videos on YouTube of the old enough to use their brains if they are then they can learn about this stuff

I'm from CA and nobody takes the Browns serious. I'm on a football poll at work nobody ever picks the Browns to win. Everyone calls it an easy win. Sheet on my fantasy league there's a guy that changes out his defense to whoever the Browns play against. It sucks. But that's my team so Shmuck them.

Sorry I do the same thing in my fantasy league, it's a good play.

At the Jags Ravens game in London I spoke to some Americans both of whom said “sorry to hear you’re a Browns fan”
At the Browns game in London this weekend the security guy searching on entry said “sorry but you’re going to lose”

Haha. It's all good. I'm the defending champ and I'm currently sitting at 1st. With Jax defense.

Back from rehearsal...and now I'm almost sorry I started this thread. It's such a downer.
However........this latest blunder by the Harvard Think Tank must be a bitter pill for Haslam. I mean, he strikes me as a man of pride. Pride in himself and his family. And yet lately, everything he's involved in has turned to $#it. It's like he can't clean the egg off his face fast enough 'fore the next splatter hits him. I'd have to assume that he's doubling up on his blood pressure medication right about now. - Even the coach's daughter is tweeting $#it...it's like Pettine & Farmer all over again.
Honestly, as much as I don't like Hue as a game day coach, I feel so bad for him. He's charged with winning some games and they give him a bunch of novices to play QB & WR....in a league where you HAVE to pass the ball in order to win. It's sad. It really is.
I just think all signs are pointing to a Haslam trigger finger massacre at season's end.

Try being a browns fan living in long beach ca. I live in the same neighborhood snoop dog is from. ?

"People still root for the Browns? " Said to me from some ND fanboy at a bar (the husband of a colleague at a work party) Of course he was also a Kizer fan and said "this kid's a superstar"
Um no, he's definitely not tough guy, and let's hope if ND winds up running into the Buckeyes again in a bowl, they don't get crushed worse than they did last time. And, then every time I bring up the SD LA Chargers, they're always like "oh, I'm a Cowboys fan" or some other BS.
Go F yourself you bandwagon twats
And all of them mention JFF every single time. as in "great job on that pick" or "how are you guys so bad so many years in a row"
Because the whole franchise sucks. Next question.
