Bernie Bernie Ohh Baby, Super Bowl!

For those that remember that classic song, here is a link.

Today is a Browns-centric post. First off, I was flipping through the channels last night with the Offical Female of MOL (or OFOMOL for short) and we (well I) happened to stop on ESPN2 and they were showing a classic football game. For any Cleveland Browns fan there is one game and one game that defines the futility of the franchise. Thats right, the 1987 AFC Championship game that featured John Elway's now infamous "The Drive." BTW curses to the person that did that Wikipedia entry. So anyway I had to explain to OFOMOL the heartache that we as Browns fans suffered that day and everyday when they show the clip of Elway's TD pass or any sportscaster references that. Ditto to MJ's shot over Ehlo in '89. I also explained the concept of the Dawgs and the Dawg Pound. This was back in the day of Municipal Stadium when the Dawg Pound was truly the Dawg Pound. They would throw dog biscuits and batteries at opponents. Sam Wyche hated our fans and we made sure to show it. The current Dawg Pound was purely fabricated with tax-money and has lost any resemblance to the Dawg Pound that existed at old Municipal Stadium.

So then I happen onto ESPN today and Page 2 has done a "Misery Index" for NFL teams and you know who tops off at #1? Yup, you guessed it, our beloved Cleveland Browns. Look at the comments for #31, the New England Patriots reference to Cleveland. There was not even a mention about how one of our worst coaches ever (Bill Belicheck) went on to become the current genius coach of the league. In conjunction with the Misery Index, they have the Top-25 Miserable Moments which, again, is topped by the Browns. These article only reinforce my opinion that Cleveland fans are by far the worst-suffering fans in all of sports -- to be detailed on here in the future. Here is to futility (and not being a Lions fan!) folks!
