Damn Browns, Part II

It's taken me two days to get over the debacle that was the Monday Night Football game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns. On the Ray Rice touchdown that finally put Baltimore on the scoreboard the Browns had 10 men on the field and they were milling around like old ladies at a flea market. Brady Quinn made a habit out of throwing the ball to receivers who were either invsibile or playing in some other game.

It's been ten years since they came back and it's all been crap.

Terrible owners and bad coaches have sapped the life of fans and the careers of professional athletes. I'm a diehard fan and will continue to be for years to come but this is the year Randy Lerner should decide whether he wants to own a professional football team or not. If he can't hire the right talent it may be time to sell. Hell, Rush Limbaugh is looking for a team to buy. I hate the guy but at least he understands that you have to be aggressive to win.

Do the Browns relaize that it's been two generations since Superbowls started being played and they haven't even played in one? The old joke about the Browns never losing a Superbowl is getting to be a bitter pill to swallow. Especially since the Rooney family has so successfully built a dynasty just 2 hours away.

If you would like to show your displeasure, you can buy a bumper sticker from Rust Belt Pop. Maybe seeing a bunch of "Hope Dies at 1085 W. Third St." bumper stickers around Northeast Ohio will spur the ownership to build a team worth our devotion.
