So, just sitting here, after watching the Browns lose another game. Between this year (10 games) and last year's 16 games, they won one game last year, so they're now 1-25 between this and last year.

I'm genuinely interested in whether this puts them in the hall of fame as the worst sports team of all time. There was an American football team that went 0-16 (winless) a while back, but it won 4-5 games the year before, and 4-5 games if I'm remembering correctly, the year after.

Being in Northeastern Ohio, I've always been brainwashed that the Browns are a lifelong commitment, and if I stop following them, I'm a quitter. Frankly, I feel that's a load of bullcrap.

The Browns haven't been relevant since they left Ohio in 1995-6 and went to Baltimore, becoming the Baltimore Ravens. They've been in the playoffs once, for exactly one game, since 1999 when coming back to the league. They've had two winning seasons since 1999 one in 2002, one in 2007.

The most games they've won in a single season outside of those two years, was 7 a few years ago, out of 16, making them 7-9 for that year.

I need some help here. I'm tired of people around here making me feel bad because I don't want to support a shitty team that finds new ways to lose every week. This isn't fun, it's not enjoyable, and it frustrates me that due to the nature of the NFL, the owner walks away with 100+ million in profits at the BEGINNING of the season, after expenses for the season are paid.

Is it time to just give up on sports, focus on gaming and twitch? Should I just find other hobbies, maybe play my guitar more? For you Europeans, I know football is a way of life for a lot of you. How do you non football fans handle not being involved in sports, and the stigma it brings?

Honestly, I'm at the point where I don't care anymore if these people around here call me a quitter for giving up on the Browns. These guys suck more than a vacuum cleaner hooked up to a 50 amp outlet.

NO.

Even though they just won, The New York Giants are still the worst.

Cleveland doesn't have anyone. They SHOULD suck. NY is loaded with superstars; no excuses, and they got beat by the 49ers! :O

Fair points, tinyE, fair points. I still think I should give up watching the Browns, though.

Yeah, no argument there. :P If it helps, I don't even have a team. I have to live vicariously through the achievements of other cities. :P

I was going to ask what kind of fucking sports team is called the "Browns", but then someone comes in with 49ers, and I have to accept that there are even worse names out there.

You should write them a jobapplication for being the new coach/manager.

I know it's a joke, but I'm definitely not interested. The team is cursed.

what's wrong with the 49ers? The prospectors who flocked to San Francisco during the gold rush were called 49ers.
I love it when a city delves into it's history for the name of it's team, like the Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Columbus Blue Jackets. I really love The Baltimore Ravens. They got their name from one of their most famed sons, Edgar Allen Poe.

FYI, The Browns were named after their late owner, Paul Brown.

Not after Cleveland Brown from Family Guy???

Well there is an NHL team named after a Disney movie. :P

Which one?

The Anaheim Ducks, formerly known as the Mighty Ducks.

the Brown's should try hockey, they might not be as bad at that as they are at base...err football

There was a baseball team named the Browns, in St Louis. The moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles.

yes.. I know, I was joking LOL
