infrared41 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I highly suggest reading all 32 of deadspin's "Why Your Team Sucks". Very informative both historically and in the present situation of each team. Here's the Browns. I think they're releasing one every day?http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2015-cleveland-browns-1723346122The most dead on preview of the Browns I've ever read.

FiddySicks Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 A GUIDE TO THE THIRTY-TWO NATIONAL "HANDEGG" LEAGUE TEAMS FROM A PERSON WHO HASN'T WATCHED A GAME START TO FINISH IN ABOUT FIVE YEARS, OR, A GUIDE TO THE BLIND FROM A ONE-EYED MANTampa Bay Buccaneers: Kind of the original rags-to-riches story of the NFL, they entered the league in 1976 with a logo that everyone made fun of for looking gay and promptly lost all 14 of their games. They continued to be varying degrees of bad until the Glazer family bought them and turned them into a model franchise with their revolutionary bend-but-don't-break defensive scheme. They picked up a big national following, and even an international following, because people from overseas would think "hmm, I liked Disney World, they are closest," ostensibly. Of course, all good things come to an end, but it took a pretty long time in Tampa. I think their decline lasted about ten years. Now they're really bad and have terrible uniforms, but could be saved by a Heisman-winning quarterback who may have raped a girl and stolen crab legs from a grocery store.Recommended if you like: redemption, Manchester United, Florida weirdness, alarm clocks, Bucfan56They don't call us "America's Team" for nothing On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

leopard88 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Checking out her cover of Nico's (by way of Bob Dylan) "I'll Keep It With Mine" is more important than picking a football team.I remember when she was a mid-20s hottie, not a cougar. She has worn both titles well.I wonder whatever happened to the guy from a few years back who was a huge Browns fan and creepily obsessed with Susanna Hoffs . . .

leopard88 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 . . , and to continue the tangent . . . I found this in an interview of Susanna Hoffs while looking for pictures . . . RCM: Bangles history has it that you recorded the song Eternal Flame in the nude. How did that happen?SH: There were four of us in The Bangles back then – Michael Steele was still in the band, and we would go about organizing studio time for each girl. Our wonderful producer Davitt Sigerson said, “You know what, I think it’s best to record vocals at night and I would like you girls to schedule what night you want, and when it’s your night, it’s your night. I want to make you as comfortable as possible, so whatever you want the studio to be, whether it’s having stuff like incense or lighting a candle, you got it.”He played this kind of practical joke on me – he knew I was very gullible – and he mentioned that he had just finished working on Olivia Newton-John’s record and said, “Oh, and she sings everything in the nude. And she just did her best performances ever that way.” And I said, “Really? I had no idea!”He told me well after the sessions were over that he was just pulling my leg but that’s what launched into this whole conversation where I said, “That sounds like so much fun!” ’Cause I had already had this superstitious thing about wearing the same outfit every time I recorded vocals – sort of my lucky shirt and pants. But this idea transformed me into thinking, “Well, gosh, maybe I’ll get my best performances if I’m singing in the nude!”So it sort of became this thing where I started to sing in this semi-state of undress and I started to do these great vocals, where I started to have superstitious feelings about it as well. I remember thinking, “Well, this new approach is a lucky thing, just like my lucky outfit was!” And just so you know…logistically, there was a screen in front of me so they couldn’t see me in the control room. I wasn’t on display, and had my privacy behind the screen.

leopard88 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm sure if we asked Susanna, she is a Ravens fan. It just makes sense.

TheGrimReaper Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 There is only one team that compares to your soccer team. That will be the Oakland Raiders. Last truly successful back in the 80's winning the Superbowl. Tottenham were last truly great back then winning a European trophy. Raiders always seem to be buliding and not quite getting it right just like Tottenham. Tottenham fans are one of the best set of fans in the EPL from what I have seen on You Tube clips and you can't go far better than the Raider Nation. It's a match made in heaven by what you have set out in the criteria you want. You will not go far wrong being a member of the Silver and Black Raider Nation.The Raiders have been one of the worst teams in the NFL for over a decade, and they're attendance is crap. I don't really care for this comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 True, but a real Tottenham analogue has to be the second team next to a glamour franchise. The Niners are a decent enough Arsenal stand-in for the purposes of this conversation. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

tp49 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 If you're going to go by that comparison then he should be a Jets fan. However, much like Raiders fandom I wouldn't subject anyone to that even a Spurs fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsjetsthunder Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Here's my one tip:Don't root for a team just becuase they are good. Too many people today are hopping on the bandwagon of flashy NFL teams just because they are winning. Find a team you like, whether 16-0 or 0-16.

However, much like Raiders fandom I wouldn't subject anyone to that even a Spurs fan.Like I said, Raiders fandom confers the sense of belonging without compelling you to watch stupid football games they'll just lose anyway. The Jets might do something. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people today are hopping on the bandwagon of flashy NFL teams just because they are winning. Find a team you like, whether 16-0 or 0-16.That's an excellent point. The financial structure of the NFL is completely unlike the premier league. In most sports, the rich get richer and good teams can stay good forever, while small teams struggle for what's left. In the NFL, however, your team will only be as good as the people running it. They all get around the same amount to spend on players, and have to spend within a specified range. Bad teams are bad not because they're small and can't keep up, but because they don't have the best people running them. Good teams are good not because they have double (or triple, or ten times) the revenue of their competitors, but because they have the best people running them.
