    Cleveland Collies. I have 2, Mack & Thomas. May lose Mack to a pothole I named Farmer.

    Cleveland Bulldogs is the only alternative to the Browns imo. I can see why there would be an interest in changing the Browns since the Brown family are Bungals, but it does increase the divisional rivalries somehow. That is definitely a question only you natives can decide on though! How realistic is it in the near future for something like this to happen and is it discussed in the local press?

    Keeping the Browns name may be just another way to stick it in Mike Brown's ear.

    But perhaps you don't know DD.....the Brown family contends.....perhaps rightly....that the Browns are NOT named after Paul Brown:

    So if this were true we'd have teams dubiously named poorly as two different minorities. No wonder we can't win.

    This shit ain't nothing to me, man.

    Very interesting. Totally off the point, but this phrase got me to thinking, "I've seen some reports argue that Brown was not a fan of the team being named after a failed franchise anyways..." .

    I have noticed that many of you from Ohio use that word "anyways" kind of like we use the word "ya'll" down here. Technically it is a word recognized here http://grammarist.com/usage/anyways/ , but is considered more informal than "anyway". Now I have heard that word used a lot with the Neaderthal descendants who inhabit deep east Texas, so it's not like it isn't used here.

    Anyways I was wondering if ya'll are somehow related. 😛

    That is correct.......We would have the Native Americans and the African Americans

    And Cavaliers were English soldiers in service to the King. Not sure how they fit in there.

    We have a bar called the Clevelander here, though it doesn't look as cool as the south beach variant.

    No reason why not except positional prejudice. No one thought much of white receivers for a while but the patriots seem to be doing ok with them.

    There were at least white recievers who excelled well before what the patriots are doing (blitnikoff, clark,collinsworth etc) . Cornerback not so much ? Do you really think a coach wouldn't play a guy who can actually COVER a guy.
