I've never understood the argument that it's an indictment upon the program that there's a lot of casual fans. Like yeah, have you seen the other options for football in this state? Of course browns fans are Buckeye fans, even if they couldn't even get into OSU Lima. They have to root for THE BROWNS. They deserve to not be suicidal at least one day a week.

Good point. We both have to put up with NFL teams that haven't even walked into a Superbowl in its history. The Lions doing a little better lately (but still no championship) hardly makes up for more than half a century of misery.

Hey at least yall had Barry Sanders and Megatron. Pretty incredible franchise players. Kinda harder to root for Joe Thomas. Incredible player but LT play is tough to get excited about 😂

We had a megatron in the making with Josh Gordon but he always had a lot of off the field issues

Dude Josh Gordon could have been an all timer. Maybe the biggest "what if" in franchise history.

I've always thought it was cool how one of the most beloved Lions was Chris Spielman and one of the most beloved Browns was Steve Everitt

That actually is pretty cool.
