I couldn't agree more! It is a curse to live near Cleveland at this point. Between the Browns and the Indians it is so frustrating!!!

It's been like that for a loooong time. I moved to Mentor back in 1992 - all the way from the Philippines. I don't know football - in the Philippines football is soccer. My cousin took me to the old Browns stadium (this was before they moved to Baltimore) that was right there on Lake Erie. It was December - minus-something-degrees wind chill plus the lake effect that for a tropical girl like me was almost unbearable. But, it was my first time seeing American Football and there were these guys on the stands with their shirts off and their bodies painted with the letters to spell Browns... they were crazy - shirtless in the middle of winter - and they were super fun! So, I learned football and I was super excited to cheer for the Browns - my new home team - while my cousin cheered for the Oilers (he's visiting from Houston). It was awesome because the Browns was leading by 2 touchdowns or some such all the way to the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter when.... as I learned is the normal fare for the Browns... they gave up 2 touchdowns and a field goal to give the Oilers the victory... Grrrrr...
Then the Indians made this brand new stadium... there's no baseball in the Philippines so this was a new experience for me. We were so gung ho for the Indians that my nephew who was 3 years old at that time can recite the Indians batting order and batting averages. And they went all the way to the Championships and we were super excited... only to get beat by the MARLINS! The Marlins was this new team then that came out of nowhere.
And then there's the Cavs... ugh.
That's the usual story of Cleveland teams - they take you all the way almost to the top only to disappoint you with a big let down. But hey, we still love them. And one of these days, they're going to get their revenge against LeBron. :D

Gunny... the Browns just can't get a break! AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!
The refs are TERRIBLE this week!
And the Cowboys blow it again in the 4th. I got ripped in my fantasy league thanks to Alex Smith and and Jamal Charles blowing up for almost 160 points in my league by themselves. lol
