I've always gotten the feeling he's more a fan of rooting against teams/people than actually cheering for anything other than there being another beer at the back of his 30-pack that he just hasn't been able to find yet due to being alcohol-blind.SportsAndLady;1662054 wrote:I thought it was pretty obvious tiernan was a "fan" of the bengals because of where they currently were in the standings.

I will be honest, there are times I will root against the browns even if a win by them would be helping the steelers....Heretic;1662058 wrote:I've always gotten the feeling he's more a fan of rooting against teams/people than actually cheering for anything other than there being another beer at the back of his 30-pack that he just hasn't been able to find yet due to being alcohol-blind.

Yes, I always get a chuckle out of the continued Cleveland heartbreak, but I don't really root against them.
I save that for my top 3 despised teams. I want them to lose every game until the end of time...

I generally will cheer for anyone if them winning will benefit my team (or at least, cheer against the other team more loudly). With where Cleveland's been in recent years, it makes sense for me to want them to win against the Bengals or Ravens. Might not be able to bring myself to vocally root for them, but at least, in my brain, I know it's to my benefit if they do.

Hey, the Steelers need to exploit this! Decimate the hell out of other teams via disease warfare and a championship is ours!thavoice;1662072 wrote:You see that sign that the Jags mascot held up last week about how the terrible towels carry ebola?
Although I worry about the ability of any NFL player to pull off this sort of stunt without fucking something up and killing off their own locker room...

I wish I could go to the game.
I have a crew of friends driving to Athens from NYC for homecoming, then to Cleveland for the game Sunday. I'm almost certain that trip would destroy me.

I hate Pittsburgh & Baltimore too but I don't know why those pussies over in Indianapolis always get a "pass." They should be towards the top of all of our "hate" lists because they stole the Baltimore Colts. Indy started this domino effect of putridity for the Browns.lhslep134;1662074 wrote:Relax there, I still hate the Steelers : thumbup:. But I have a stronger hatred towards the 5 teams I listed.

My hatred of teams pretty much sticks with the AFC north
It would be a perfect year if the browns finished 0-16, the ravens finish 2-14 (Just enjoy when the new browns beat the old browns) and the bengals finish 4-12.
and of course the steelers in the playoffs.....

I can't blame the originator of the domino effect when the last domino to fall (sale of the Browns) was entirely avoidable if not for a scumbag.BR1986FB;1662079 wrote:Indy started this domino effect of putridity for the Browns.

Browns must win Sunday or their playoff hopes will be pretty much over. 0-3 in divisional games and 0-2 against Pittspuke. Virtually all tiebreakers in the shitter.

Oh My the Clevetonians steal one win with cheap shots, bounties and officials in the pocket against the lowly cellar dwelling Titans and your talking playoffs? You haven't even had your automatic 6 division losses yet. But #3 is coming Sunday.

Browns fan since 1959 so I think I understand the rivalry about as good as anyone here. I hate the Steelers but there are teams I hate more....as in that illegitimate stolen team that calls BALTIMORE home. F the Ratbirds...forever and ever.I hate the Steelers but I agree more with you, that there are other teams I root harder for them to lose than Pitt:
I also went to school with the Rooney's ....Dan and Art III....who were strong advocates in the NFL for us being able to get a new team and to keep our colors and name when Modell shit on us.
Funny....those guys came to CLEVELAND for high school....never let Pittsburghers live that down

I have a great story to tell regarding Art III who was there when you were there. Met him at Pitt business school. He asked me at the break if I was related to a kid who went to GA... Small world. Went to a bar afterward and he would not let me pay for any beers.HitsRus;1662183 wrote:Browns fan since 1959 so I think I understand the rivalry about as good as anyone here.
