The Browns left Cleveland in the mid 90’s because the Indians were suddenly the show in town, and if the trade of Braylon Edwards proved anything, it’s that we’re headed down that road again, only this time, it’ll be because the fans abandoned the team.
Now, before we get into this, Braylon got himself shipped out of town. It wasn’t the LeBron thing, it wasn’t the fact he went to Michigan, it wasn’t the drops…it was the attitude. Braylon fancied himself as a super-duper-mega-star and didn’t take criticism at all. He carries himself like he’s Randy Moss without all that pesky talent and charisma, but here’s the thing…he HAS all that talent and charisma, he just chooses to waste it for no reason at all.
Braylon has the potential to be a top-5 WR in the NFL…he’s fucking massive, can jump through the roof and make the kind of catches that make you rewind the DVR four times just to watch it, but there’s just a screw loose, and I think a fresh start will do him some good. Which sucks…because the problems he had in Cleveland were entirely his fault.
Us fans didn’t hate him for being a Michigan grad, we hated him for saying that was the reason we hated him. We didn’t hate him for dropping the ball, we hated him for being upset with us that we didn’t like the fact he was dropping the ball. And when you pick on LeBron like that? Well, that shit just doesn’t stand in Cleveland.
But enough about Braylon…I’m gonna miss the guy and didn’t want to see him go. There’s a bigger problem here, one that goes all the way to the top.
This regime is simply raping the fanbase here in Cleveland. RAPING.
Tell me…what incentive is there AT ALL to go to a Browns game? To spend $60 on tickets and $30 on beer and food? Hell, what incentive is there to watch for free at home?
There is none. There is no young developing players to look at, no steps in the right direction, NO HOPE.
And that is the fault of three men…first, Eric Mangini, the coach who has shat on this organization since the very minute this was hired. Second, GM George Kokinis, the asshat who has been fleeced in pretty much every deal he’s brokered and passed up the chance to draft rookies who fit our scheme and have already started paying dividends for the teams that were all too happy to take them off of our hands. And finally, three, owner Randy Lerner, who simply doesn’t give a fuck about this franchise, this fanbase, this city, the sport…he’d rather have some soccer player balls deep in his ass in his suite in Aston Villa than put a winning team on the field in the most financially rewarding sport in the world.
Braylon wasn’t just a player, he was someone to look forward to watching. One of the few players on the Browns who could actually EXCITE you, and now, the fans have been shat on from every anus of that triumverate of shitheads.
Oh, but wait…please spend your hard earned money in one of the most depressed cities in America for the chance to see Jerome Harrison! Derek Anderson! Robert Royal! Eric Barton!
Come down to Cleveland Browns Stadium for the chance to see Brandon MacDonald! Brodney Pool! Mike Furrey!
Are you fucking serious? Do you really think we’re that dumb?
Lets see…you could either spend $100 to see the Browns and freeze your ass off to see a blowout or spend $100 to see the best player in the NBA in LeBron with Shaq and a team that’s going to be in the title race in the NBA in a fantastic arena for an owner who cares deeply about the fanbase. Which one do you think people are going to choose?
Let me tell you something, Randy…you’re THISCLOSE to losing the fanbase entirely. I went to the game on Sunday and guess what, half the stands were wearing Bengals jerseys. BENGALS JERSEYS!!! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!?!?!?! Who the fuck knew the Bengals even had real live fans? Let alone fans that will willingly travel? Jesus fucking Christ.
You traded the one exciting player on the team for bunch of guys who’ll probably end up on special teams. Awesome.
You’re a fucking asshole Randy Lerner.
You’re a fucking asshole Eric Mangini.
You’re a fucking asshole George Kokinis…actually that’s not fair. You’re just too fucking stupid and too fucking pathetic to actually do your job so instead you get taken advantage of.
Fuck this fucking franchise.
Not enough fisting.
I agree with Tampa, you had a lot of opportunities to write about fisting, but you chose to take those opportunities.
Don’t they hand out fan rape whistles in Cleveland? Or do they just give everybody blogs?
Isn’t everyone in Cleveland happy that stone hands is gone?
each one of you can suck my dick.
go fuck yourselves.
I hope this turns him around and salvages my fantasy season.
i hope cal ripken pulls out this time so you don’t have to wipe spoooge out of your ass every hour.
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh, my comment wasn’t even haterific at all.
you’re right. im just extremely upset right now…like that feeling you get right before you break up with someone.
you mean thinking about all the new trim that you are going to get because you are finally getting rid of the dead weight old lady. yeah, that sucks.
/fag.
Spence, I get it. You’ll never find another receiver quite like Braylon.
/stifles laugh
/cuz Braylon sucks
Cheer up, you have Shaq now, so there’s that.
/doesn’t give a shit
hef…im pretty sure your laugh was stifled because you have a dick in your mouth.
Don’t look at me, my dick was in his mouth yesterday.
HAHAHA SPENCER!Thats what you get you arrogant cock thurmus.
If they handed out rape whistles in Cleveland, you wouldn’t be able to hear anything but whistles.
Spencer, it could be worse, you could root for a team that had the worst season of all time.
You are feisty this morning. Just so that we’re on the same page, this is more straw-that-breaks-the-camel’s-back anger and not I’m-really-sad-because-I-love-Braylon anger. Right?
I get the frustration of having everyone with talent leave your city in every sport but Braylon sucks. Hard.
If everyone is getting raped, does it cease to become rape?
/buys plane ticket to Cleveland
Yeah, but AIDS is still prominently involved.
At least the Mario Massaquoi can finally begin!
Um, it’s Mohamed Massaquoi. And he’s a douche.
if you’re going to be a smartass, at least get the guy’s name right. then again, we all look back fondly on carl ripkil’s career of mediocrity fondly.
it’s both you cock slobbering fagot. with years of getting beat up on top of that.
im sorry everyone…im just pretty fucking upset right now.
i don’t mean to offend you.
More reason for me not to give a fuck about his name.
pussy
at least my balls work. just ask your wife.
I don’t think you guys get how this works…
i get it…you were castrated so you could keep singing in the vienna boys choir. plus, you’d rather play joe mauer than randy johnson, so it was win win.
Everyone in Cleveland, from your favorite athletes to your parents, will leave you for a better place. All you will have left is Craig Ehlo.
diaf.
