No, it hurts to NOT love football and live in Ohio.
Grew up in Columbus back in the days of Woody Hayes and where the Buckeyes are demi-gods and they each Michigan for lunch.
Can't begin to tell you how many times I was shunned as being an inhuman Communist for not bowing to the Temple of Bucks.....

Well, last night's "game" (if you can even call it that) was bad enough to elicit a revival of the thread.
Ugh. The Brown's offense moved the ball past the fifty yard line twice. They never crossed the opponent's 45.
I quit watching with about 8:00 minutes left in the fourth, but up to that point, the Browns had attempted one pass greater than 15 yards. And no, it wasn't completed.
I'm sure people will be down on Quinn. And no, he hasn't be brilliant. But can you really blame him? He's never had a chance to develop, and sadly, will probably never get that chance.
Oh well. How long 'til Baseball season?

Coming up next, Browns at Detroit!

Yes. I can hardly wait to watch that amazing display of athletisism.

I was about to comment that there are worse things than being a Browns fan. I saw part of the Lions/Vikings game on Sunday. The Vikings didn't play great, but the Lions simply embarrased themselves with one aweful mistake after another.
Good luck to all you Browns fans on Sunday. This is your golden opportunity to establish a lower limit on your teams' capabilities. Of course the same can be said for all you Lion's fans.

It's easy to love football in Florida when you've got Tim Tebow and Urban Myer! Next Seasaon, who knows (no Tim), but for now we are enjoying the success of the Gators.

The Browns lead The Lions 24 to 3 in the first quarter. They're playing in Detroit, of course.

Browns 27, Lions 24, halftime. It would be an exciting game if they hadn't both been 1 and 8.

Go Bucks!

If you mean The Buccaneers, they lost 38 to 7.

What's the matter, is the Crew not doing well?
Order of Kilopi
The Buccaneers were playing The Saints so it would violate board rules to discuss that game.
The Lions beat The Browns 38 to 37.

MLS season is over. Crew ended the season with like 4 straight losses, but were still able to win the Supporter's Shield.
Crew moved on to the next round of the CONCACAF champion's league, but they don't play again for a while.
And . . . freak'n Browns. Win the game!---nope, penalty on the last play after time expired, giving Detriot the chance for the win, which of course, they did.

Ah, sorry. I was thinking the wrong kind of football.

I am talking about an Ohio football team that won the Big 10. A reason to feel good about football while living in Ohio. Browns fans like me would be totally despondent were it not for teams like OSU to brighten our autumn weekends.
Order of Kilopi
I watch both. Crew had a great year, but just kinda fizzled at the end. I think the CONCACAF league just took too much out of them.
At least OSU beat Michigan, but there was really no reason they shouldn't have this year.

I'm curious if the Browns fans wish for the return of 1996-1998 when the Browns did not lose a single game.

i second that real footy is best except for liverpool fans at the min

It certainly wouldn't make things any worse. We don't have a team now, either.
Now that the college season is over here in the Big 10 (minus bowl games, but those are a month+ away), there's not much to watch sports-wise in these parts. I'll stop and watch parts of the Blue Jackets' games, but only if there's nothing else on television.

Some good news for Browns fans: They've managed to evade this list of 10-Worst Sports Teams of All Time* (Fox Sports)
So, they have a ways to go before they hit rock bottom. Problem is, with the season-ending injury to Rodgers last week, they're likely to fall quite a bit further into the hole. I'll also note that the top 10 list includes a 1-15 New England Pats team (1990); and the Browns are likely to end up with the same record, but in an even uglier fashion. Oh well.
*As usual with these type of "list articles", the list is hardly comprehensive, limited to American sports, and mostly professional but with the inclusion of a college football team. In other words, the writer just picked out 10 bad teams, but can't make a solid claim that these bad teams were the *worst*

Nice to see my 1962 Mets make the #1 on that list. They were so horrible they were glorious. I note also that Cleveland did get mentioned there, the Cleveland Spiders baseball team (pre-Indians).
