Doc Gonzo: Cleveland Browns RIP (1946-1995)
Bernie's Insiders - 6 hours ago
In just a matter of hours, the 2006 Cleveland Browns will be joining Saddam Hussein in wherever it is such nightmares go after their not-soon-enough demise.

And it can’t be quick enough.

You don’t need me to tell you 2006 had been an absolute, unequivocal catastrophe. The performance on the field has left no room for confusion. This team is bad. Very bad. One of the worst teams in franchise history.

Is that surprising? No. Is there any question as to why this team is so awful? Not really.

The reasons, and you can pick your favorite poison but all apply to some degree, are legion:

~ Injuries.
~ Inferior talent.
~ Poor discipline.
~ Poor coaching.
~ Bad luck.
~ The usual variety of Cleveland curses, hexes, afflictions, banes, bewitchments, bedevilments and vexations.

None of this, as you likely recognize by now, is new. You can choose to believe simple bad luck or some sinister necromancy is at work here, but the bottom line remains the Cleveland Browns remain mired in something less than mediocrity.

Cleveland is the K-Fed of the NFL. We’re a joke. Other teams use us as a doormat, and an entire generation of football fans have no idea that his team was ever any good. The "dog pound" at Cleveland Browns Stadium isn’t the "Dawg Pound" of 1986-1995. These days, it’s some plastic, corporate, sterile product of focus groups and marketing professionals. And that matches the fake team on the field.

Ouch, harsh words from this columnist. I personally don't believe the situation is as bad as all that. There were a lot of injuries, especially on the offensive line. The team has a hole at QB that needs to be filled. I still think Romeo's a good coach, and you sure can't complain too much about Droughns, right? So what is your evaluation of where the Cleveland franchise is in their progression right now?

The Browns are not Detroit Lion bad.

They have a good coach and some nice young talent. If they can stay healthy next year and find a QB...they should do better.

The Cleveland Brown attitude rear its ugly head. This is exactly the type of attitude that is prevalent among Browns fans. Instead of keeping the faith, they pity themselves, bash the organization, and blame fake curses. Yes, we have had unusually bad luck the past few years. Yes, we haven't been good for two generations. But, that doesn't always mean we will be the embarrassment of the NFL. Keep your head up high and be proud to be a Browns fan, it's not that hard.

However, I completely agree with the Dawg Pound portion of the article. Every time I sit there, I want to puke. It is filled with casual fans at best that sit there because it is the trendy thing to do. It will never be the same.
