That is why? Sure it is. It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the Browns suck does it? Face it, if the Browns had won several super bowls and were like 12-4 or 13-3 going into the playoffs this year, half of the "Ohio Steelers" would be Browns fans.

False. Hell, I've been to Pittsburgh more than I have ever been to the shithole that is Cleveland.

Every state has a message board like the huddle(s) and I'm sure they have asshole homers who post either to rile people up or who honestly mean it but I only have this one. And since you cannot infer someone's meaning when its electronic I assume they honestly mean it. Thus I cannot root for anything which would make them happy. I hope OSU, cleveland, cincy, cavs, indians, reds, etc etc etc lose every single game every year. I hope the mascot falls down the stairs and breaks his legs. I wouldn't piss on Jim Tressle if he was on fire. And why? Because of assholes on a message board who I cannot afford to have one moment of sports happiness.

Rationally I know that most of the people on his board and the old board are not in this category so a small part of me sympathizes for them when the team you love perennially lets you down, I know the feeling quite well from my CFB fav.

"That is why? Sure it is. It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the Browns suck does it? Face it, if the Browns had won several super bowls and were like 12-4 or 13-3 going into the playoffs this year, half of the "Ohio Steelers" would be Browns fans."

Funny thing is Cincy is having the kind of year and frankly the kind of decade long success browns fans could only dream about....and yet I can still say fuck cincy, I hope they go down in flames instead of running out to buy a jersey or a god help me, snuggie with their emblem. So no, you're wrong, much like you're wrong to think either in jest or being serious that people need to feel some kind of connection and love for their state. This isn't 1850.

Been a Pittsburgh fan since I was 5 in the late 60's. So go ahead and assume that I'm a bandwagon jumper BBmind. Didn't know that 5 year olds could be a bandwagoner, but whatever, keep enjoying the Browns.

Yeah, and we all know what a beautiful city Pittsburgh is.

Nice try at a bad comeback though, I still award you no points.

I've been a Steelers fan since I was a kid.

Excellent post! When people mention Pittsburgh they still think of the dirty town it was when the steel mills were rolling, not the case any more. It's clean, beautiful and has a pretty good economy.

Take a trip over to Oakland and you'll see a real shit hole. Shadyside, Hill District, Garfield, and East Liberty are nothing to be proud of either. Pretty much the whole of the East End and South Side are just garbage.

Plus its full of dirty yinzers so its automatically a shit hole.

Yep, every city is clean. Have you been to most of Cleveland? Most of Cincinatti? All of Morgantown? Most of Columbus?

I was responding to the poster who claimed it is a nice clean city. For the most part it is not.

Cleveland and Cinci suck also. I will agree with that.

Come to Columbus, you can go to the near east side, south side, hilltop, bottoms, northland. All worse than what you will see in Pittsburgh.

I've been to Columbus plenty of times to know that is the truth. I don't know if I can compare the two, but like I said, I was only dispelling the myth that Pittsburgh is generally a nice clean city.

It's as nice and clean as any other midwest city of that size. Cleaner than most mid-atlantic/northeast cities that size.

Not sure what you are trying to prove.

Just my opinion based on experience.
