Browns Rant

Breaking the form of what I normally do, this is not going to be a nice post. I don't normally talk sports here, but I've finally had enough with a certain team. I was in the middle of finishing up the weekly reviews but I needed to write this out for my own sanity.  This is going to be an unfiltered, profanity-laced rant about the Cleveland Browns, so feel free to not read it if you want.

I'm so fucking tired of this team letting down its fans.  These are fans that were devastated by the team moving in 1995 (see the marvelous piece NFL Network did). When the team came back, everyone was so happy. Yet, besides one fluke season, the team has sucked every year.  I mean, how much crap does the fan base need before they realize that the team just blows? They just lost their 10th or 11th straight game, yet the fan base will support them no matter what. And it isn't just the Browns; it's all the Cleveland teams. This is a Browns rant, but the Cavs and Indians aren't getting off free. This city is cursed or something, man, because all of our teams blow.

You can tell that the players feel for the fans. I heard and saw the Browns starting quarterback Brandon Weeden talking about the Cleveland '95 documentary.  He gets it; the fans have put up with so much crap throughout the years that it's starting to take its toll on us. Now, I know that I'm a 20 going on 21 year old fan here, but I've more than enough crap.  And I can feel it along with the younger fans either close to my age and younger: they hate this team. They don't win and the younger crowd, myself included, are going and cheering for other, more successful teams. It just amazes me that the team doesn't realize that the fans are sick of all the shit. Thankfully, new owner Jimmy Haslem seems like that guy that can right the ship. My advice: clean house of the coaching staff. Pat Shurmur is not a professional coach; hell, I don't think he could lead a high school team to a win. He looks so clueless on the sidelines and you can tell by the plays that he calls that he doesn't know what the fuck he is doing. I mean, he calls a pass behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 15. Yes, that's correct: a screen pass that got about 5 yards on THIRD AND FUCKING 15!!!!!! Oh, and don't bother giving the ball to your only offensive stud, Trent Richardson, on 3rd and short. It's not like the guy is a bulldozer or anything. I can run this team better than that fucking clown.

It finally hit me today. After leading 14-0 (and actually looking impressive while doing it), the Browns threw the game away with terrible play calls and carelessness with the football. I actually turned the game off and watched soccer. The sad thing was that it was more exciting than the Browns game.

God, I'm sorry for ranting like this, but this team just fucking blows. I am THIS -> || close on just giving up on my hometown team. I already root for the Patriots more than I do the Browns so I might as well just announce it. When people ask me who I cheer for, I'll tell them that I'm from Boston, growing up with the Patriots. BECAUSE THE BROWNS ARE THE MOST EMBARRASSING TEAM IN THE NFL RIGHT NOW!!!!!

I'm sorry to all my other Browns fans. This is not something that we should have to put up with. We deserve a team that actually has a chance to win. But don't worry; the NBA is starting back up in a couple weeks, meaning that we will actually have the chance to know what a winner is like.
