I've actually heard local Columbus schleps say that the Browns winning out in December is totally pointless and means nothign to their future (hello? you play to win the game.) It's especially bad when a marble mouth like Chris Spielman rags all over the Browns and Mangini when he has a prominant local celebrity opinion that thousands of braindea buckeye fans glom onto, which makes the anti-Mangini fervor kick it up to another new high week in and week out. Seriously, these guys trash the Browns HARDER when we win (who cares if we set franchise records in rushing and win 4 straight, we cant pass the ball so we must be an awful team).
