You mean like blowing a 24-7 lead to the Steelers in the playoffs choke job? Or allowing John Elway to march 98 yards to send the game to OT choke job? Or throwing an interception in the endzone when all you need is a field goal to win the game choke job? Or fumbling as you are headed into the endzone to tie the game choke job? 

Maybe the Browns can change their name to Chokers too, by your logic. 

Well, yea, maybe.   Maybe we can have dueling chokers.   Indians blow lead in the bottom of the 9th in the 7th game of the World Series.  Blow a 3-1 lead to make it into the WS.  Blow a 2-0 lead in a best of 5 in the playoffs.  Blow a 3-1 lead in the World Series. 

These teams have certainly been duking it out to see which one can bust our balls the most.

Wrong part of the country, but Cleveland Crawfish.

Cleveland Cephalopods.

Since there is a big Irish Community here, we could go  Cleveland Cloverleafs.

The way they play like shit at times,  they could be the Cleveland Comodes.

Since we often get fucked by the league and by other teams:  Cleveland Concubines.

Or, instead of Spiders, how about snakes:   Cleveland Copperheads

Or, how about the Cleveland Cornholes.

I DO NOT get the Spiders bandwagon.  It was a horrendous team that played here 120+ years ago.  Besides, I hate spiders.    The only good spider is a dead spider. 

The team ended horribly, when the team's owner (who also owned the St. Louis franchise) decided to transfer all the good players off the Cleveland roster to St. Louis. Basically, he pulled the move the owner of the Indians did in the movie 'Major League' almost 90 years later.

The Spiders also played for the National League title three times, winning one of them. They were the famous Baltimore Orioles of that era's biggest rival.

Oh, I'm fully on the Cleveland Spiders bandwagon. Great, unique name with endless marketing possibilities. I'd also love if they could pilfer the uniforms from the movie 'The Natural' and go with the Cleveland Knights.

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave!"

Spiders would fit...Like the team's owner, they also have no balls.

Mike

That or he didn't want his team associated with logos and names that many people didn't care for, but you do you Mike. 

yup

2.  Three games to go in Browns season:   Giants/Jets on the road.  Steelsuckers at home.   What will be their record in those three games?

Don't know

3.  For those of you into that sort of thing,  I believe the Ratfuckers were a 3.5 point favorite in that game....and when they hit the FG with 2 seconds left, they went up by 3....still a situation where the Browns beat the spread.  But then.....2 more points got added on in 2 seconds. (I was pissed so I didn't see how it happened).  What kind of hair  tearing  out did certain gamblers/bookies/casinos etc. do as a result of those 2 pts.?

Typical Fuckers!

4.  Who, at this point, do you believe should be the NFL MVP?

Aaron Rodgers..

5. The Columbus Crew won the MLS Championship.   How much of a shit do you give?

0

6. The Cleveland Indians are changing their name.  That's is a done deal and honestly we can't help it so  I don't want any kvetching on  here about that.  What I do want to know is:  What do you suggest for a new name? 

The Cleveland "Doh'lans"

If the Tribe were to change their name to The Supermen, they could put the statue up by the Jake (yes, I still call it that) 

This is supposed to go next to it looking up at it:

I don't think that is going to happen, but to provide you information, here were the Native American tribes of Ohio:

The names of the Ohio tribes included the Illinois tribe (Illini), Iroquois, Chippewa, Delaware, Erie, Ottawa, and Potawatomi, Kickapoo, Kaskaskia, Miami, Wyandot and Shawnee.

    Agree

2.  Three games to go in Browns season:   Giants/Jets on the road.  Steelsuckers at home.   What will be their record in those three games?

    One at a time. But I think 2 or the 3 minimally.

3.  For those of you into that sort of thing,  I believe the Ratfuckers were a 3.5 point favorite in that game....and when they hit the FG with 2 seconds left, they went up by 3....still a situation where the Browns beat the spread.  But then.....2 more points got added on in 2 seconds. (I was pissed so I didn't see how it happened).  What kind of hair  tearing  out did certain gamblers/bookies/casinos etc. do as a result of those 2 pts.?

     A lot of expletives and an equal number of "YES!!!!!!"

4.  Who, at this point, do you believe should be the NFL MVP?

     Mahomes

5. The Columbus Crew won the MLS Championship.   How much of a shit do you give?

     I'd rather just take a shit than watch that shit. My son loves it though.

6. The Cleveland Indians are changing their name.  That's is a done deal and honestly we can't help it so  I don't want any kvetching on  here about that.  What I do want to know is:  What do you suggest for a new name? 

     I still think they should see if any Native American tribe will give their endorsement to the use of their tribal name. Preferably a NE Ohio tribe.

Well, let's see:  they obviously just went toe to toe with the Ravens,  they beat the 9-4 Colts and 9-4 Titans.  They had a close loss to the Raiders on a bad day.   That leaves the Steelers, Bills, Chiefs.     The way the Steelers are playing now, and the way the Browns are playing, I think that matchup....if both teams were at full strength could be on a par with the Ravens game we just played.  The Bills could be a tough matchup for anyone, but I think the Browns could hang.  And as noted, the Chief are a handful for every NFL team no matter what.

Here are some Survey Questions.   Give your answers/opinions:

1. Based on what I have seen so far,   I think that the Browns can pretty much go toe to toe with any team in the AFC,  with the probable exception of the Chiefs.  What say you? 

All 4 of the Browns loses are against AFC teams. They beat the Bungles twice by a total of 8 points and just squeaked by the powerhouse Jags and Texans. Those numbers say toe-to-toe is a bit of a reach. 

2.  Three games to go in Browns season:   Giants/Jets on the road.  Steelsuckers at home.   What will be their record in those three games?

2-1

I'm sure some gamblers were happy while others were sad. Same with fantasy owners..... For every loser, there's a winner. 

4.  Who, at this point, do you believe should be the NFL MVP?

Patrick MaHomes

5. The Columbus Crew won the MLS Championship.   How much of a shit do you give?

Who did what now?
