This is an old post from an old blog that I decided to put on here.
Disclaimer: Anyone who is sensitive should stop reading right now. Because you are not going to lie what i have to say.
At 25 years old I'm old enough to know better but I'm young enough not to care. Being a Cleveland sports fan has been quite an experience for me. Drives and fumbles and shots. (oh my!!!!). I remember crying as a kid when Byner fumbled at the 1. I recall watching M.J. (Jordan) hang in the air as Craig Ehlo fall hopelessly to the ground. I also recall Edgar Renteria's little flubber in the 97 World Series. But you know what Cleveland sports fan? IT HAPPENED NOW GET OVER IT!!!!
For far too long you have been living in the past and are always looking for the worst to happen. Thus developing a losers mentality. Pessimism is the worse kind of attitude to have. As grown ups if you have that attitude you know what? You have loser kids who have loser kids that have pessimistic attitudes and loser mentalities. Pretty soon we have a city full of losers. TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT!!!!!!!!! This city used to be proud, what happened? We are lucky to have pro sports teams. Ok so they may lose, but like Manny Ramirez said "its not the end of the world". If your life depends on whether the Browns, Cavs and Indians win or lose, YOU MY FRIEND ARE PATHETIC.
Back to my point of living in the past. Its been that way forever. Browns fans are expecting to see Paul Brown on the sidelines, HE'S NOT HERE!!! He hasn't coached this team in 45 years. Jim Brown hasn't run the ball since 65, The Kardiac Kids have grown up, and Kosar and company have moved on, SO SHOULD YOU ALL. Why can't the new Browns get this kind of love? They went 10 and 6 last season so why are they getting penalized by fans saying the schedule was easy. They played who was in front of them it's not their fault. 10 wins is 10 wins! PESSIMISM. If this was the Browns of the 80's you would be dancing in the streets. Why isn't there a Derek Derek song? I bet a Brady Brady song will be out whenever he takes over the starting spot.
In closing I just want to say get behind the teams and stay behind them. Stop complaining and going back the next week. Browns fans stop making dry threats about not going to the games and on Sunday's you in the muny lot grilling brats. Don't like what they are doing fine stay home. Matter of fact give away your ticket and don't ever go back. There are plenty of people (including me) that would love to go. I am sick of hearing the whining then seeing 78,000 butts in the seats. GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!! and remember IT'S JUST A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
