I'll be drinking heavily and rooting for the Inbreds to lose because I know a lot of their fans and I want to see them suffer.

As much as it pains me to say it (rooting for Crackmore) this is my preference as well. Modell no longer owns controlling interest of the Ratbirds so what's done is done. They are still a hated division rival and they are not welcome in CBS but I hate the Inbred more. I hope Rayenthal knocks that f'n smile right off of Hines Ward's face.

[happybluebird]

Seriously sucks. dang the Chargers for losing that game. Bad enough we have to suffer year after year with the Browns being bad, on top of it we have to watch our most hated rivals playing in the afc title game. You know? Anybody else BUT them and it'd be okay, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ravens.

Can't stand the Steelers. Can't stand the Steelers fans. Traitors. I never will understand people that don't root for the HOME team. esp when they are Indians fans, Cavs fans, and Buckeye fans. Assholes.

[Crash Davis]

And dang the Titans for committing all those turnovers otherwise they would have steamrolled the Ratbirds and then the Inbred like they did to them a month ago in Nashville.

Worst AFC Title Game EVER. Fuck 'em both. I need a beer.

Worst?

This will be a game that displays how football is supposed to be played. This game will be better than the Super Bowl.

Regarding Steelers jerseys in church. Look around, you will see some Browns jerseys too. Maybe not as many as in the 80s-90s, but they are praying every Sunday too.

The Browns don't have rivals. A rivalry has two sides. We're not a rival, we're a punching bag. And again, I don't see why this affects us one way or another. No matter what happens on Sunday or at the Super Bowl, we still suck, we're still 4-12, we're still a doormat. If the Eagles or the Cards beat one of these teams in the Super Bowl, it doesn't go into the win column for Cleveland. The Steelers are up 5-0 on Vince Lombardis- what's a sixth? It just doesn't matter.

I meant from a Cleveland fans POV...

Honestly i'm with Herman I just don't care.....and i'm happy I don't care anymore. Now I can focus on teams that make me happy like the Cavs and the Bluejackets.. Since they came back the Browns have been nothing more than recycled trash disgracing that uniform. Fuck the Browns.............

[fundamentals]

If Rolle and Suggs can't play for the Ravens, that's all she wrote. Steelers will walk all over them. Get ready for an invasion.

awwh.. so a fair weather fan you are. Now I understand.

Well gee, we can't all be Browns and Steelers fans, now can we.

[Triple-S]

I just love how people are taking there chance to just comment about how "They aren't going to follow the Browns" and "They don't deserve the attention anymore" :rolleyes: .With all due respect to ya'll It's almost coming off as bad as the Ohio Inbred fans. In fact, I think that may be stage one in the conversion factor.

I made this comment in another thread, but being a Browns fan right now, is somewhat close to being a Tribe fan back in the 70's/80's. You followed the team, because they were your home town team, had good times with your buddies watching the game and you loved the sport. I know that's the case with me right now. Every summer, no matter how bad the Browns are, me and my friends plan a day just to chill out and watch the team up in Berea and see if anyone looks good. It's a great tradtion, it's free and it keeps us in touch with each other.

And I know the games can be ugly to watch sometimes, but sometimes you find a gem, The Giants game and the 07 season are quick and obvious examples.

I'm not saying, be like the guys at the beginning chanting "super bowl", thats bullshit. I'm just saying, quit whining about it. It's one thing to say something "UGH! Phil should have traded DA in 07", but quite another to keep rambling on about how the real Browns are dead and all that.

And I know I'm going to get nailed for this,painted as Browns honk, how I'm young and foolish and all sorts of things. But I don't care. I'll wait. My dad waited YEARS for Purdue to reach the Rose Bowl back in 2000, and when they finally did he seemed like the happiest guy on earth. He's told me stories about how terrible the team was, how Notre Dame would beat (one with a last secound Joe Montana hail mary, look it up on youtube, it's there), Elway beat them, Kosar beat the snot out of them, How Woody and Bo would run the score up on them. It didn't seem to matter to him, he kept showing up and supporting 'em. I'm going to do the same for the Browns, whether we're 12-4, or 4-12.

There's the end of my mini-manifesto.

[scotty dawg]

good for you,man.with my family,we just look forward to getting together sunday afternoons,and watching the game-have for decades now! we don't ever give thoughts to changing teams,because we aren't capable.I tried getting into the ravens when they would show them after the move and couldn't do it.ditto the bills.ditto the bengals.
one year removed from 10-6.there's got to be some talent there still.go find it eric.

SSS - Thing is, when you are a Purdue fan you have no expectations. You are mediocrity to sub-mediocre every year. Once every 2 decades you get your Griese / Keyes and Alstott or Brees , but mostly, you are a Big 10 sorta doormat. You are just thankful for IU and N'western. You are Minnesota.

The new, fake, Browns are sorta like that. We get all giddy at one and done in the playoffs and then blame Jim Sorgi when luck and the scedule hands us 10 wins and no playoffs, as if beating Pittsburgh wouldn't have gotten us there.

But the "old" Browns weren't Purdue. For their first 20 years they were more like tOSU with Woody, but better. For the next 20 there were ups and downs and no brass ring, but they were gamers except for about 5 truly shitty years.

And I know that CDT doesn'tr have OSU fb in perspective but there' sno one left who is spoiled or a band wagon fan. The fact anyone is left to even log in is amazing to me.

These fools are the Saints who couldn win jack squat for their first 25 seasons.

We were used to better.

JB-I wouldn't call Purdue a doormat, more like a team that has trouble avoiding bad luck. Unlike the Browns, we've beaten some elite teams in the conference, but much like the Browns, right at about the time we're about to break out of the mold of being 5th in the Big Ten and able to challenge TOSU/meatchicken, like an Iowa or a Wisconsin, right as we're about to turn that corner and look like we're about to do that, it's taken away from us. sound familiar?

It's no disrespect intended towards you guys, it's a tough time, and theres little reason to be optimistic. We really havn't been an elite team since '89, period. But I see what a team like what the Cardinals have done this year, or what the Bucs did a few years back, and I think it's possible we could return one day to that point.

There are no elite teams in the Big 10 in the past few seasons, and in hindsight I think you even have to question the 2006 bucks and Meatchicken given who they actually played, but that's not why I called.


Sure, it is possible. The NFL is designed for parity.

That's what makes us all the more pathetic.

I haven't given up. I'd just be suprised by success at this point I'm so jaded. And I don't thik that's on me. It's on them.

[WarAdmiral]

JB +1, throughout this thread.

I will watch, but not root for any team to win. I could rationalize that I would receive more joy from a Stealer loss, seeing how I don't know one Raven fan. I know quite a few Stealer fans, and the light hearted ribbing I have received from them over the last few years, is not as light hearted on my end. I hate the Stealers more than any other team, so maybe deep inside, my goodwill will be extended to the Ravens today.
