    Yeah, they've got uniforms and everything.

    It's great.

    Anyway, I don't know how anybody could possibly vote for any franchise other than the Knicks. To be in the nation's No. 1 media market with the league's highest payroll and to have that utter mess of a team?

    And the fact that they gave Isaiah a contract extension after he's run two NBA franchises and an entire league (the CBA) into the ground, that says it all.

    I hate all New York teams equally, so I don't mind. :-D

    Junkie, check this out for some evidence. I don't see Cleveland up there in the percentage of men or women supporting the team. Then again, I'm not sure I'd want to admit to being a Browns fan, either.

    the Marlins aren't that bad for a small market team.
    they'll have to win a WS every six or seven years.

    the Knicks, on the otherhand, just awful.
    they couldn't win a title with a big man like Ewing, i don't know how else they can win it all.

    You announce you won't continue the debate...then you continue it. Guess I shouldn't expect more of a Browns fan.

    When I talk about travel, I'm talking about Steelers fans taking over opposing stadiums. Whether that be those that followed the team or those that live there. Talk about chapters of fan clubs all you want. Watch the Steelers play on the road and check out the crowd. There's the real evidence.

    So, it's only significant that fans in Pittsburgh have abandoned a team (the Pirates), but not when it is done in Cleveland? Nice contradictory argument there.

    And you want to talk about Browns fans only abandoning the team before the move? Steelers fans have never stopped supporting that team, not even through 40 years of futility before the dynasty of the '70s.

    Then again, you can't even spell Pittsburgh, so why should I expect you to know anything about the city.
