Browns CB Baxter tears patellar tendons in both knees

Randy Lerner doesn't even want to own the team. He inherited it from his father. Then he bought an English soccer team and now goes to their games.

At least the stadium was half empty by halftime yesterday. It took the Indians about three years to figure out they were pissing off the fans and no one was coming back until they got their act together. The fans are still pissed about the downfall beginning in 2002, justified or not.

It will take a few years of a half empty Cleveland Browns Stadium before Browns brass gets the message. Apathy is the best medicine for this.

 

Oct. 10, 1993.

I don't believe he ever did come back.

 

Butch Davis' manifest failures set the Browns back at least five years.

 

The Indians owner doesn't seem to worried about winning either, the only owner in cleveland worth anything is Mr. Quicken Loans.

 

It's just torture, pure f'ning torture.
In eight years you would think they could get some sort of offensive line, but they suck now worse than ever.
Players have freak injuries.
Knowing the luck of Cleveland fans, the LeBron ACL injury isn't that far away.

 

Blind squirrels find nuts. Any other cliches you want to toss in for good measure?

 

I don't have a horse in this race, but off the top of my head, the only team with a worse run of misfortune/mismanagement is the Cardinals (discounting 1982, they've made the playoffs once in the last 30-odd years and have won one playoff game in the last 59 years).

Other than that, it's hard for me to think of a team more chronically woeful, dating back to their previous incarnation in the 1990s, than the Browns.

 

Bad things just happen to good teams.

 

Point of order: I don't think either of you get to count two completely disparate franchises as one.

 

Why not?

The point is they've sucked in two different eras. Plus, the way they moved to Balto reached a whole new level of sucktitude.

 

Following that logic, the Lions should have folded the tent in 1968
