<![CDATA[They stole our team]]>I can't stand the ratbirds. Dont like them, dont root for them, have no respect for them, etc. But two teams are playing AFC North football right now, and next week we'll be a part of our annual intra-Ohio blunderfest. I cant deny that I'm jealous, pissed off. Newsome and his team were ours. Ed Reed, Lewis, Lewis, Suggs, Scott, McAlister, Ngata, and co. As much as I hate them, I have to admit that I would kill for the Browns to play the way they do.

Now we're looking at the 5th year of a 10 year rebuilding process (our 3rd or 4th attempt in 10 years), and theyre looking at another playoff birth.

Dammit. Screw you, Name-that-shall-not-be-uttered.

Lerner will keep toying with this franchise until the stadium is empty i hope im around to see this club restored to a tolerable state in owner,management and player personnel..

I cant blame the people in baltimore for wanting a great franchise but i can and do blame first al and then randy lerner for not staying with the program and venturing into incompetent owner territory and bringing us a genuine poser it has the name and the colors but lacks everything else..

I guess first you would have to be a fan of browns football to know where to start and whats wrong so while randy decries he is a lifelong browns fan i seriously doubt it for obvious reasons...

We don't even have the Cavs over the Steeler fans. Their entire fan base is frontrunners, so many of them are laying claim to the Cavs as well. Just watch as the Steeler fan base grows yet again this week because of the frontrunners.

Maybe the frontrunner fans root for the Steelers and the Cavs, but who gives a damn about the front runners? They're worthless.

The real reason that you can't hold the Cavs over the true Steelers fans is that the true Steelers fan base doesn't care about basketball. Bringing up the Cavs would be completely pointless.

Pittsburgh is a football and hockey town with baseball a distant third. Basketball doesn't even register.

Agreed. And your football team sucks as well 😉

Sure, they stole our team, but that was twelve years ago and there is no excuse to be still playing like a minor league franchise after ten years in the league.

I xxxxing hate the Steelers, they get every officiating call down the stretch and every xxxxing lucky bounce.

I live for the day that the tide turns and the Steelers turn into the 2008 Michigan Wolverines.

Had Modell sold the team in 1996, it would have went to Al Lerner anyway. Remove the expansion tag and fast forward ten season's, we have no excuse anymore ... we just suck and have no clue.

Lucky the Cavs are killing it right now, although they're just not the same as the Browns and Tribe.

Ticks me off. I'm tired of it. As Cleveland fans, we've lived our entire lives with the "next year" mentality and it gets old sometimes.

Baltimore was desperate for a team. We would have done the same thing if the situation was reversed. But I still hate them. But not as bad as the inbred squealers.
