Give us a break!!!!

45 years with goal line stands, Chokes, Corked bats, Red Right 88, The Drive, The Fumble, The Trades, and The Modell. I have been a life long Cleveland fan. I dont remember some of these and some of these are still in the back of my mind. Clevland is a very proud sports town, we are always optimistic at the beginning of the season and still go to games because we love our teams at the end of the season. Cleveland has been named the most tortured sports town by numerous sports sites. We havent won anything in over 40+ years. Boston and Chicago havent even gone that long with out a championship. They may have us beat in baseball but not combined sports titles. To me this is absolutely ridiculous the amount of time and energy and dont forget money that we send watching, spending money on or talking about the Teams in Cleveland. My worst moments in Cleveland Sports history was first and foremost the Move. It ripped a city apart. Modell tore our hearts out and fed them to his birds. I wonder what would have happened if the browns would have stayed with Belichik the coach. I believe the 2009 would look alot different than they do know. The city will never recover from that and we will never forgive Modell for that crap that he pulled. My other Moment has to do with a team that used to be really good than really bad back to great and know abysmal. The Cleveland Indians were two freaking outs away to winning a world series and they freaking blew it. So please Cleveland sports team give us a break and be out of character and win something sometime soon or YOU WILL start to lose the Cleveland Faithful for good. What are your worst Cleveland Sports moments.

Stop The Charade!!!

As you all know i am a Cleveland Browns fan! Art Modell tore our hearts out in 1995 when he moved the team to Baltimore. Since the Browns have been back in 1999 we have statistically been one of the worst teams in the NFL. I, frankly am sick of this. there is always optimism at the beginning of the year and then after about the first three weeks or so the optimism turns to anger. This has been an issue since Randy Lerner took over since his father Alfred Lerner's Passing. Me as a Cleveland fan often thinks about what needs to happen to the browns to become at least a respectable team instead of the product that they have one the field right know. I feel that Randy Lerner spends to much money on his precious FUTBOL team than he does on his actual football team. if you look at the best teams in the league what do they all have in common. Structure, high payrolls and consistency. Know these wont win you championships but it will definitely help with the process. Another thing that angers me is the fact that they don't give the coaches a chance to build a system. It is so hard to win in the NFL. Give the guy a chance to build the team and get the players he wants and implement his own system and rules. You cant expect to have a winner on the field if you get a new coach every three years. give the guy a chance to well do his job you are paying him for and coach the team. I know that i am just one fan but i feel like i am not alone in this. Thanks for tuning in.
