Football A Browns fan is staying at the house

Holladay · 10-03-2012, 11:37 AM

The wife has a friend from work that is staying with us a few days. Wife tells me not to talk about politics becasue friend doesnt know much about it.

My candid and tried answer is "Fine, how bout them Chiefs?" To which the friend answered that she was a die-hard Browns fan. My chin hit the floor.

#1 they exist...I thought they were like unicorns, big foot or Nessy.
#2 I'm talking to one.
#3 In my house with witnesses.
#4 I thought I had it bad.
#5 I guess I should appreciate being a Chiefs fan.

She lamented and I shared her pain. The discusion didn't last very long. What do you talk about, which team is crappier? I did ask when is the correct time to start wearing bags on our heads.

So, admittedly, I don't know much about the Browns and their history. When was their last playoff win? Have they won a Superbowl? Who are some of their better players in history? In the last 10 years, has their suckage been as bad as ours?

Help educate me so I can be more informed and have a better conversation tonight.

BTW, my wife was correct as to the politics stuff. She doesnt know crap. She's a HUGE Obama fan

The Browns have an amazing fan base. I think they have the largest fan club in the USA.

Lucky bastards got a new owner this year too.

Our playoff win drought is longer than theirs. They have 1st round QB starting for them and looking good. They should pity us.

Tell her the old Browns are really good and won a Super Bowl not long ago. See if she swings at you.

L.A. Chieffan · 10-03-2012, 11:57 AM

I think it's been the same amount of time for both franchises in terms of playoffs wins.

L.A. Chieffan · 10-03-2012, 11:58 AM

And they've drafted a couple of first round qbs.

L.A. Chieffan · 10-03-2012, 11:58 AM

And they got rid of RAC and Quinn who are now on our team

Molitoth · 10-03-2012, 11:59 AM

Welp, the chiefs have better looking uniforms....

That's about it.

Actually I think they've drafted three first rounders since us.

Cleveland 95 airs tonight on NFL Network!

http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sp...-cleveland-95/

Bill Belichick’s final season with the Browns will be documented tonight at 8 on NFL Network’s “Cleveland ‘95″ documentary.

Here are some Patriots-related snippets:

Belichick: “We wanted a tough, hard-nosed, blue-collar football team. That’s what Cleveland is and that’s what we wanted our football team to be.”

Belichick: “I felt bad for that team, the players and the coaches that were working so hard with less than no support. The owner was nowhere to be found; he was in Baltimore. It kind of felt like you were on a deserted island fending for yourself.”

Belichick: “We got better every year, our program improved every year. I wish that it would have turned out a bit differently, but we tried to do what we could and the best that we could for ourselves, for the team and for the city of Cleveland. I have no regrets about that.”

Eric Mangini: “There was that sense of we had turned the corner. All of that time, all of that work, all of that effort — we were poised to make that next jump.”

Scott *****: “Those years in Cleveland, those teams, those people impacted the NFL. It impacted a lot of football.”

Ozzie Newsome: “When I won in 2000 (with the Ravens), I owe a lot of that to Bill Belichick.”

As to the fanbase, she mentioned that there was 4 major Brown clubs/groups in Las Vegas. She lives 5 months and 29 days in Cleveland and 6 months and 1 day in Vegas.

I was surprised about the Vegas fan base.
