In order, and off the top of my head so don't hold it against me... Last playoff win is probably 1994 against the Patriots. Belichick beats his old mentor Parcells. In 1995 the season falls apart when, after the third or fourth game, owner Art Modell announces the team is moving to Baltimore. In 1996, after BB is fired and using a pick he had got when he did his patented trading down, the Ravens pick Ray Lewis, then go on to win the Super Bowl in 2000. Then the Pats (with the Browns' old coach) win 3 out of 4. So basically imagine this: Hunt says he's moving the team to Los Angeles, then fires Romeo. In 2013, using a pick that the 2012 Chiefs used when still in KC, draft possibly the best linebacker ever. In 2016 they win the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Romeo Crennel, now HC of a different team, wins 3 out of 4 Super Bowls in another city. Oh, and 15 years later (2027) you still haven't been to the playoffs, Crennel is commonly regarded as the best HC in football, if not the best ever, and is ALWAYS in the playoffs. THAT is what it means to be a Browns fan... (side note: I always used to laugh at die-hard Red Sox fans over the misery and woe. They don't know misery. Look at the Chicago Cubs you self-centered bastards. Not only no WS in a longer period of time, but a helluva lot less talent and playoff/WS appearances). Browns never won a SB. Never even BEEN to the SB I don't believe. The Browns were THE dominant NFL team in the 50s and into the early 60s, with guys like Otto Graham (50s) and Jim Brown (60s). Head coach was Paul Brown (who the team was named after), who was probably THE best HC in football history (college and pro, he dominated). (side note: Art Modell FIRED both Paul Brown and Bill Belichick, both of whom would probably make the top 10, if not top 5, all time best HC list of just about anybody).

For some stupid reason, if the Chiefs moved to LA... I would still follow them.
I wonder how many Browns fans became Ravens fans. It sure would have paid off. |

The members of the Front office and some of the coaches of those Browns teams was just a crazy list of future success in the NFL and/or college: Belichick Nick Saban Ozzie Newsome Pat Hill Kirk Ferentz Assistants: Jim Schwartz (HC - Detroit Lions) and Eric Mangini (no introduction necessary)

instead of explaining how amazed you are that you found a browns fan in your home. You should be asking the best way to approach the possibility of a Ménage à trois

yes, get her emotional. That often leads to sex.

I intentionally omitted him as I figured the consensus on here would be that he dragged down the impressiveness of the list.

I was just referring to Chiefs fan and Browns fan sharing pain but I like your style. Can we raise the stakes to a threesome after a couple drinks?
