My two roommates in college who were avid football fans were a browns fan and ravens fan. Steeler hate is just learned behavior after hearing it for 3 years

A long time ago i made a promise that if the Browns are ever in the super bowl then i will unconditionally and unwaveringly root for them no matter who it is against.

i'm still waiting for my chance to honor it...... maybe i'll wait for ever

I'm convinced it's harder for them to recruit because they have the least sexy name ever. Even worse than the dolphins

The browns are funny because they are basically never the worst team in any given year, but still are consistently bad. They're bad in all the least exciting ways and I really appreciate that.

The Bills and the Browns always find a way to be bottom 10 but never bad enough to get the best two picks. As a result, they often whiff on scouting talent because the can't miss guys are already gone and as awful teams they aren't able to get anybody who knows the difference between a bust and a real prospect.

The NFCE will never have this problem, and you'll get to watch that in prime time every week.

The browns are funny to me because everyone involved with them has been terminally corrupt/incompetent and every year they come back after firing tons of people say 'ok I think we got it this time' but they never do.

This would be awesome. go ahead and blame ea for making sure no games in the genre can be made with even the smallest amount f humor.

Their airport was quite possible one of the dirtiest in the US, which is an accomplishment since all airports are kind of disgusting

The trash you find at the airport is dismembered husks of teams that the Eagles have defeated.

On second though, even though wrestling might count as a sport, it probably doesn't count as a game. even despite the motorhead song "The Game" which declared as triple H entered that it was time to play the game

Every year when I watch the NBA playoffs or the Super Bowl I always chuckle at them not being able to literally go a quarter without inserting like 5 ad breaks.
