Cleveland Fans and Media Suck

I want to talk about Cleveland fans and media for a second, about their expectations, their feeling of entitlement, and their over reactions.   

I know I’m not going to make any friends with this but let’s face it, only about 10 people will read it anyways and none of them even like me. 

Sports talk radio and social media outlets have become almost unbearable lately. 

I will start by saying that I, just like 100% of Cleveland fans am tired of the losing.  I want a winner just as much as the next guy but what role do I play in making that happen?  None really, all that I can do as a fan is support my team and show up on game day to back the product on the field. 

For starters, the allegations going around about the Browns “tanking” it this season are absolutely absurd.  No Player, Coach, GM, President, or Owner would lose an entire season on purpose or set themselves up to do so.  The fact that this type of garbage comes out of people’s mouths shows their true ignorance.  Chud is starting the best players on his roster, Banner didn’t purposely draft garbage, and the players aren’t taking plays off. 

You’ve got guys in the media like Kiley and Booms running their mouths about stuff they have no idea about.  Think about it, they liked Colt McCoy for Christ sake.   The Owner, the Coach, the President, and the GM don’t need to explain SHIT to you.  Do your job and let them do theirs, I don’t care if you don’t agree with what they are doing or even if you like it.  Let’s face it, Joe Banner and Mike Lombardi have forgotten more about football than guy’s like this will ever know.  You suck at your job, but I’m not going to tell you how to do it because I’m not a radio guy, my face is too pretty for radio.  If i don't like it, I just don’t listen and I’d advise you to do the same.  If you don’t like the product, don’t watch the games.  It’s not like you know what you’re watching anyways.  Oh, and please do yourselves a favor, the next time you get Joe Banner on your show, don’t ask him about hotdogs.   It’s a sad day when MKC makes you look like fools. 

The fans have got to stop over reacting on Mondays.  Already, we need to fire Norv, Lombardi and Banner after only 2 games. This is why we are losers, it is shit like this. 

It makes me laugh to see all the people calling for Greg Little to get cut because he rolled a stop sign.  Yes, I know his license is suspended but you want to kick him off the team because he’s stupid?  Right.  The funny thing is, I see the same people saying they can’t wait for Josh Gordon to come back next week, you know, the guy that is suspended for violating the substance abuse policy.  

Greg Little has had problems catching the ball, Weeden can’t throw it, Oneil Cousins is garbage, and Trent Richardson can’t find the hole.  But building your team with scrub free agents 2 or 3 weeks into the season isn’t going to make you a playoff caliber team.  At some point ignorant fans need to realize this.  Players like T.O., Beanie Wells and Chad Johnson aren’t on teams for a reason. 

And, I’ve had it with the “I’m done with this team” crap, it’s old.  Move on, you don't know better than Chud about when players should be on or off the field. Just because Trent Richardson is your favorite player doesn't mean he is a 3 down back and Josh Cooper isn't better than Devon Bess so forget about that too.

It seems like Cleveland fans and Cleveland media just want to whine.  If Joe Banner comes on the radio, he talks too much.  If Joe Banner isn’t available for a month, he doesn’t back his product.  If Brandon Weeden starts, he shouldn’t be given the job.  If Brandon Weeden sits, he’s the best QB on the team.  If Jimmy Haslam gets pissed off when his team loses, he’s a crazy Owner.  If Jimmy Haslam smiles when his team is losing, he doesn’t care about his team. 

I could go on forever but…..

At the end of the day you’ve still got the second lowest ticket and concession prices in the league so quit your complaining and go root for your team or buy a trailer and start rooting for the Steelers like your mom did 10 years ago.  Get your shit together Cleveland people.  It’s bad enough that our teams suck, don’t add on to the embarrassment by being dumb, whiny bitches.  

You are either fans or you're not.

Position Battle #2 - TE

I thought our DB’s were shaky until I started looking into this debacle.  The Browns TE corps is lacking the almighty characteristic know as production.

Jordan Cameron 6’5” 245 – The project basketball player from USC is going to finally get to show his stuff.  Jordan sat behind Ben Watson the last 2 seasons and learned (we hope) what it takes to be an NFL TE.   Jordan definitely has the athletic ability that Norv and Chud desire at the position, the question is, can he be the go to guy?  Is he ready?

Kellen Davis – 6’6” 262 – I can’t claim this as fact because I can’t remember where I heard it from but rumor has it that Kellen’s nickname is “dick fingers”.  Now I don’t really know what that means, but I wanted to put it out there.  Kellen is your average blocking tight end that will occasionally catch the ball for you when he’s already lying on the ground.  Not much to see here folks. 

Gary Barnidge 6’6” 247 – Is a 7th year player from Carolina who’s primarily played special teams in the past.  Gary has recorded 18 catches and 1 td in his career so I don’t expect him to battle too much for a “starting” role on the team unless there are a couple injuries.  Chud must like him though since he brought him over from Carolina. 

Dan Gronkowski 6’5” 255 – There isn’t much to say about the guy.  He’s here if we need him because of injuries.  I would say he has better hands than Kellen or Gary but he lacks everything else.

The Browns only shot at getting any offensive stats out of the TE position lie within 3^rd year player out of USC Jordan Cameron.  Chances are in Chud and Norv’s TE heavy offense Jordan should get the starting nod seeing how he’s the only TE on the team that can actually catch the ball.  I don’t see much of a battle here but the thing that will be interesting to watch is the progress that Jordan has made.
