Top 5 hated opponents
-
1. Hines Ward's Steelers
2. Ray Lewis' Ravens
3. John Elway's Broncos
4. Any Cowboys team makes me want to vomit
5. The Steroid users on the 70's Steelers

Nice call.
Otherwise, just Elway, Belichick, and the Lions of the 50s - Doak Walker and Bobby Layne come to mind.
Now, those guys, Walker and Layne were even before my time. But as I mentioned on another thread, that Lions/Browns rivalry was the REAL rivalry up until about the 70s. The Steelers weren't diddley squat but the Browns and Lions had played like 4 times for the NFL title. And the Lions always seemed to have the Browns number, even later in the 60s when the Lions were no good really they always still seemed to beat the Browns. That rivalry essentially died with the Browns move to the AFC and the Steeler rivalry picked up....partly because the Steelers finally picked up their performance.
But yea, those Lions you mention would have been the arch enemies.

.I think while the Lions/Browns rivalry today is nowhere near the levels it used to be - more of a competition for last place sometimes - it was still more heated than the Browns/Steelers rivalry of today. Sure we hate them and they hate us. Sure, everyone has contempt for each other. But name me the last time the Browns and the Steelers faced off for the AFC Championship (like the Ravens/Steelers did last year)? I mean, the Lions-Browns met for numerous Championship games - it was like the Celtics/Lakers legendary meetings.
I don't know how we should do it, but the Lions should be made a AFC North team. Maybe disband the Baltimore Ravens for four years, then start a new team in the NFC North called the Baltimore Colts...
That would be a start, anyways.

Some data on Charley Johnson's play against the Browns:
In 1963 Cards won 20-14 and Charley Johnson went 25-34 for 285 yds and 2 TDs.
In 1964 Browns title season, in Game 1, the teams tied 33-33. Charley Johnson went 14-27 for 241 yds and 3 TDs.
In 1964 Game 2 Cards beat Browns 28-19 and CJ went 15 of 22 for 167 yds and 2 TDs. (Browns won title but couldn't beat Charley Johnson)
In 1965, a season when the Browns went to the NFL title game, the Cardinals beat the hell out of them 49-13. Charley Johnson went 11 of 19 with 6, yes, that is SIX touchdown passes (in 11 completions).
Later that year the Browns won a second game, but luckily CJ was out and did not play.
In 1966 the Cards beat the Browns 34-28. Charley Johnson went 11 of 20 for 218 yards and 3 TD passes.
Thankfully, after that season CJ left the Cards and Jim Hart took over.
Recall that all during this time, the Browns were one of the elite teams in the league. The Cards were pretty good too, they had winning records a couple of those years, but they gave the Browns fits.

Well, the Browns last playoff opponent was the Steelers, in that game that the Browns blew because Butch Davis decided to go into the prevent defense in the middle of the third quarter, plus Dennis Northcutt decided he would give us a preview of Braylon Edwards career by dropping a pass that would have sealed the win for the Browns.

Rather than pick out some of the obvious villians, I will name a few guys that just personally irked me at one time or another:Isaac Curtis, Bengals -- Seemed to always kill us.
Lorenzo White, Oilers -- We never seemed to be able to stop him in crunch time
Akili Smith, Bengals --Classless throat-thrashing gesture after one of very few victories
Stoney Case, Ravens-- Classless clown was laughing at expansion Browns' ineptness but his career was the last laugh
Jeff Reed, Steelers -- Google "duechebag" and "kicker" and the first three pictures are Jeff Reed.

Correction: Akili's victory over the Browns was his ONLY victory as a starting QB in his NFL career.

Hahaha I don't know if you were trying to be clever or not, but if you do Google "douchebag kicker" Jeff Reed's picture is the first to show up.
-
What a douchebag. Hahha!
-
And those pictures were taken at a pub he was paid $2,000 to appear and he puked 3 times (once on stage). The perfect douche for the Steelers.
-
The Cards always had our number....Hart didn't do us any favors either.
I pretty much dislike all the teams and players about the same....I kind of, sort of like the Titans, Falcons (semi local teams), and like the Bucs as my folks settled in the Tampa Bay area and Hugh Culverhouse was a personal friend of the family on my mothers side....Alabama connections.

1. Ravens (they should not exist!!)
2. Steelers (why are T. Smith and S. Holmes there?!)
3. Broncos (weep! Sob!)
4. Cowboys (see below)
5. Ravens (yes I hate them oh so much)
I laugh at myself at the small things that get me. Don't remember the year but it was a Browns at Dallas game when Staubach threw an interception and the Browns corner had a clear but long path to the end zone when Bob Hayes flew out nowhere to make the tackle short of paydirt. The Browns eventually lost the game and I've hated the Cowboys ever since. Just gotta laugh

What about the Bengals for the same reasons: they shouldn't exist! Art Modell - the great villain of Brown's history - fired Paul Brown. Brown went down to Cincy and started the Bengals for the AFL. Sure they've been one of the worst AFC North teams, but we should still hate them with a passion for reminding us about Darth Modell's firing of Jedi Paul Brown...

Okay so the Kosar teams are the closest you Brownies fans ever came to the Super Bowl, so why hate John Elway over it? If your team was really better you'd have thumped the Broncos like the NFC teams did during the preceding Super Bowls. If your team was really "World Champion" quality like you hope to believe, then really it's your coaches "Choke Master" and "Choke Jr." that you should be mad at. I mean come on, you let Elway drive 98 yards in under 2 minutes to thump you from the Super Bowl. That prevent defense prevented you from winning more than Elway's masterful drive did. Choke Jr. would go on to curse Pittsburgh for 15 years with that same sort of BS. Christ Elway thumped K. Stewart and Choke Jr. from the Super Bowl in '97...did we cry about it. Brady thumped us from the Super Bowl in 2001 and 2004, did we cry about it. Hell no, we're now Sixburgh you double zeroes!!!
Since you tend to be so pathetic and spend most of your time hating, I'd suggest Art Modell be tops on your list. He stole your team, then took them to win a Super Bowl, with a defense considered amongst the best ever. You could've had that first Super Bowl in the bag and even some bragging cred. Now you hide in your own little bboard hurling insults at Steeler fans and deleting all replies. Talk about a great fan base.
So who's coming in last in the AFC North this year, you Stains or the Bungholes? Super Bowl #7 is just around the corner!!!

Can you say "another semi-clueless" Puker fan? Only semi-clueless because some of what he says is true. I will fill in the other half for him:
A. If you had read through the posts, you would have found that for the likes of "most hated" players, much of it is really defined as I mentioned "grudging respect" because the likes of Elway and Charley Johnson were just outstanding players that had the Browns number over the years, and that was acknowledged by all of us.
B. Yes, very much it was the "prevent defense" that was being run that prevented us from winning.... and again, most of us have acknowledged that, but that doesn't mean we still don't have a right to dislike old Horseface. You don't like any opponents that are kicking your ass.
C. Steeler fans are here just for hurling insults at. That is why you showed up here, to get your ass punked. You paid your price for the ticket by logging in. You don't like the show? You can walk out of the theater. No refunds. Your ass is still burned.
D. I don't think any of your lameass Puker replies are ever deleted. Not sure where you got that notion.
E. Where the EFF else would Browns fans be but on the Browns board? Where the hell are we supposed to be? On some Squealers board lighting your asses on fire there too?
F. Trust me, the hate for Art Modell is ubiquitous. But that was not the spirit of this thread...which I began. This was meant to point out primarily the on field opponents who have been difficult for the Browns (it was meant to name players, some took it to name teams. So be it). Too bad you didn't grasp that, but then, being a steelerfan such sublties are clearly beyond you. (and in terms of the on field stuff...Modell's arse was kicked out of the NFL so fast after he got here he is hardly worthy of being considered an "opponent" of the Browns. Any success achieved by Baltimore was the result of Steven Bisciotti's and Ozzie Newsome" efforts, not ABM's)
