If they're going to be terrible, at least they're being really terrible.

I realized this morning that if a Cleveland team ever won a national title it would destroy my identity as a sports fan. I'm not sure how I would handle it.

You (not you personally the fanbase as a whole) would just start talking more shit, being annoying, you know like the fans you hate currently.

See Boston Red Sox fans after the curse was reversed. Never have Saints fans been more annoying than in the past 3 years or so.

The other thing you would notice as people start wearing "Browns" or "Indians" stuff and professing their love for "Major League"..... is just how many bandwagon jumpers there really are.

It doesn't pay at all to be a hard core fan....except for that first beautiful amazing season where they go from loveable losers.... to champions.... because holding the trophy makes all the criticism and bad feelings float away, no one can say anything bad about your team.

All fanbases generally handle success and failure about the same and they all crap on other fans for not being "true fans"

If (big if) a Cleveland team wins in my lifetime I'm going to be as obnoxious as possible.

Snapping a streak like that wouldn't be right if it came against any other team than the Clippers.

I'm kinda glad that the Buffalo Braves left if the Clippers is what they became.

Part of me is waiting for everything to come tumbling down, but mostly I'm really enjoying watching winning baseball again.

You know, I edited that not thinking that you would respond in 30 seconds. I thought it sounded stupid to say "about" while giving such a precise number. Now I've gone ahead and ruined it.
