The Browns were pretty good when they had that lacrosse player from Syracuse....
Lerner was tool that knew nothing about football but saw himself as a "hands on" owner. I hope the new guy does better.
My mother was from Cleveland, she saw that 2000 Ravens championship as rightfully belonging to Cleveland, despised Art Modell, was crushed in 86 & 87 (but was thoroughly happy when the Bronco's got thumped those years), and never quite understood why I liked the Raiders, but happily decorated my room with a Raiders pennant when I was in 6th grade, but she was more of a "Cleveland" fan than a football fan.
The one thing never discussed, though, was "The Tribe".
