Did you see where he wrote "we're the same city," referring to Detroit and Cleveland?
January 7th, 2017 at 11:13 PM ^
I saw where he tried to compare the "hard times" of Cleveland to the hard times of Detroit, which... No.

"I also enjoy when Detroit fans make fun of Cleveland, you realize we're the same city right? Won an NBA championship, lost a world series, shitty football team, city fell on hard times, everyone around the country makes fun of us, and all of us hate it."

You forgot the first paragraph, but that's pretty neat.

The Browns were good in the late 80s due to talent they got when the USFL folded and Bernie Kosar choosing to play there (with a way around the normal draft). No sure whether that was luck or great strategy. But, from the early 70's to when they got good in the later 80's, the team was pretty mediocre. Something around a combined 0.500 record from 1970 - 1985 inclusive.

Won three NBA championships to one, add in Stanley Cup championships, and two World Series wins besides the loses. At least our football team has made the playoffs so no not the same city.

I'm not one to criticize Cleveland one way or another, and I acknowledge your general point that Cleveland and Detroit have a lot in common, sometimes more than Detroiters would admit, but I don't understand how you are using sports as an example of this equivalence.
"Cleveland and Detroit have both won an NBA championship and lost a World Series" covers over the fact that Detroit has won multiple NBA titles (3), not just one, has won twice as many Word Series championships, roughly twice as many AL pennants, and, while I would hardly argue that the Lions are better than the Browns, both have zero Super Bowl championships and four NFL championships from immediately prior to the Super Bowl Era. And then the Red Wings have won 11 Stanley Cups and are historically an elite hockey team. So, that's 18 championships that people care about to three. Again, I'm not trying to make fun of Cleveland, and I would love for the Lions and Browns to have success, but I don't see the equivalence.

Detroit's an iconic American city - the symbol of the U.S. auto industry. For better or worse, it's always been in the national consciousness. When its fortunes declined it became the symbol for urban decay. Coming from Detroit gave Eminem street cred.
Cleveland OTOH is just sort of . . . there. It doesn't seem to have a national identity other than being "kinda like Detroit."
Also, you guys don't have hockey.

Cleveland does have a song about their river catching fire... so there's that

but from a fans perspective, imagine the lions moved to Veags or somethign then won a few superbowls. Both fanbases have seen some shit is my point.

What if there are 4 other guys, the team goes through 4 QBs and none of them are excited to be named the starter because they take turns getting destroyed?

I wouldn't call it a borderline disaster. It may have seemed that way because of the recent success in the late 80s. But he walked into a 3-13 team. They improved every year up until his final year when Modell announced the team was moving to Baltimore yeah and then they collapsed.

After 21 years living in Cleveland, I can attest to this. Cleveland Browns fans of the current generation have no concept of winning or what it might take to do so. They, and the local media, have no ability to evaluate assistant coaches, and probably lack the information necessary to do so.
They just know they don't like where they are and are always ripe to celebrate "change."

Give a chef good food and he will make dinner...Give the same chef shit and he wont make a good dinner.
Are you going to pretned ANY coach would have made that Browns offense good? Stop and use your brain for a second...That offense had Josh McCown, RG3, Kessler taking turns behind an OLine that was atrocious both up the middle and on the right side, with an average RB, throwing to a converted QB to WR who was on his 3rd team in 3 yrs, and a bunch of rookies or cast-offs, Coleman was injured half the season and dropped a ton of passes....Come on, man
January 7th, 2017 at 3:13 PM ^
I'm pretty sure the mark of a good chef would be the ability to make good dinner out of whatever ingredients you give him. It's all about ingenuity and making things work. So I mean, I get what you're trying to say but the metaphor doesn't really work.
Unless you mean literal shit, then yeah.

Jacksonville Jaguars fans celebrated when Jedd Fisch got fired. Minnesota fans thought he sucked too. But now Jedd Fisch is a genius after coaching 2 years with Harbaugh. Crazy how much difference 2 years make. Sometimes the personnel you get to work with makes a difference. See Scott Linehan in Dallas after gettting fired in Detroit.
Pep Hamilton has past experience with Harbaugh and is probably overqualified for a WR coach. This hire actually makes more sense than Jedd Fisch did.
