>Named after brown people
>Perpetually sucks and never achieves anything

Is this just a coincidence? Would they finally not suck if they changed their name to Whites?

Nigger.

Browns were ok before the franchise moved to Baltimore.

>>150423247 (OP)
Paul Brown was a white guy.

>>150423247 (OP)
it was literally named after one of the whitest man you could ever know

>>150423247 (OP)
The team was named after Paul Brown, the team's first Head Coach and GM, and one of the five greatest coaches in NFL history.

Then the team fell under the evil sway of the demon Art Modell. And Cleveland has since searched far and wide to lift the curse placed upon the franchise by this foul pestilence.

Kek what made you think this?

>>150423503
they're the vikings of the afc, one of the best (pre-95) teams without a ring

Same vibes

I honestly think it's something to do with the city. ALL the Cleveland sports teams are cursed. And they've got a lot of really memorable failure moments that have iconic nicknames: the Drive, the Shot, the Fumble, the Move, the Decision.

LeBron James, the best player in the NBA for a long while, went back to Cleveland and he was only ever able to win ONE championship with the Cavs, and that was during 2016, a year when a lot of the normal rules for the universe were clearly suspended.

My grandmother used to tell us this when I was 4 or 5 years old, I knew she was joking and used to tell her I seen a green or yellow or pink cow for lime or banana or strawberry milk

That was 2012

>>150425042
No man 2016 was insane.

>Cleveland team finally wins a championship (absurd Finals comeback too)
>Cubs finally win the World Series after over 100 years
>Leicester wins the Premeire League

Let's not forget that the 2016 NFL season capped off in Super Bowl 51, the infamous 28-3 Super Bowl. It was a bonkers year for sports. And, well, for a few other things, too.

There was some serious samefagging going on in the heysel thread yesterday

They should have a brown coach because representation matters

>>150423927
>without a ring

they won 8 rings before moving to Baltimore

>dump best QB franchise has ever had before he even hits his prime because white just to get a black guy that has already proven himself to be trash tier
>dump 3rd best QB on your roster just to keep a sideshow QB who has definitively proven he's not NFL-caliber
I don't understand why don't they go 17-0

>>150425976
The goal is to make money. Winning games helps but that roster is at least another draft away probably 2 or 3 from actual contention.
Keeping Primate Jr. allows them to sell a ton of jerseys and ensures they can continue filling their stadium halfway thru the season despite terrible performance when they announce him as the starter
The plan this year is to tank again. The QB draft class for next year looks better than last year and there's a possibility that they can even go for Manning in another year or two.
My guess is 3-14 this year maybe as high as 5-12

They need to win about 8 games for Haslam to get his new stadium (without paying for it). They can do that, but the over/under is 4.5. I'm thinking they can get 5 wins easily

>>150432738
>we need to tank this year to prepare for next year's QB draft class, so this year we'll use ONLY two draft picks on QBs
It's sad that it's extremely believable

>>150423247 (OP)
its named that because brown is the color of poop
