Cleveland, [is a] very special fan bases.
In that you continually support utter crap on the field? Yeah, that's "special" all right.

You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting. Kind of a low-rent DG_Now.

Kinda dumb to have "12th man" inside a player's jersey, since that player is either one of the 11 on the field or one of the other 53, and not the "12"th. Of course the entire "12th man" thing is ridiculous anyway, so there's that.
Agreed. Its always annoying when a given fan base (Cleveland, Buffalo, Green Bay, in this case Seattle) pulls out the "we're special and if you're not from here you just wouldn't understand" card. EVERY fan base has great fans, bad fans, obnoxious fans, bandwagon fans, and so on.
Every single fan base in the NFL has as much right to claim to be a "12th man" as Seattle's IMHO.
Spoken like a fan of a team who's fans just dont matter or arent special. *lol* Cleveland, Buffalo, Green Bay and Seattle are all very special fan bases. I would throw Kansas City and maybe a couple others in that same vein. If you arent from one of those places or cant recognize that, than you arent paying attention or you are just bitter that your own fan base sucks.
See? This is perfect! An absolute perfect example of why the rest of the country thinks (some) Cleveland fans are so annoying. I didn't day you weren't good fans. I didn't say you didn't have quite a few great fans. I didn't say you weren't supportive (hell, passionate) about your teams. What I said was other fan bases are too. That's it... that's all I said... and that set you off like you've been insulted! Hilarious! To you, being told that other fans are every bit as loyal and supportive of their teams as you are SOUNDS LIKE A PUT DOWN! Come on, you don't see how that attitude seems at least a little arrogant?
By the way...

That really made you laugh out loud?
Anyway, there's nothing "special" about being a Browns fan (or a fan of any other team for that matter.) We aren't "owed" or entitled to a championship. We aren't cursed any more than any other team that's made an almost improbable string of bad coaching and personnel decisions. Our fans are every bit the "fairweather" fans that other fan bases are. When the Browns are winning, we're "all in." When they're not, Browns stadium has it's share of empty seats and all the other things that go along with a losing team. We aren't special. We're typical. We're just like everyone else and the sooner "true" Browns fans figure that out, the less embarrassing it will be for those of us who already knew that.
