Browns rant thread.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Additional LeBron quotes on the parade:
Although he’s a professional athlete, James didn’t have a problem with the stunt.

“I got a kick out of it. I can’t even sit here and say that I didn’t. You know how you see some shit and you’re like, ‘That’s not really happening, right?’ And it’s so bad that it’s laughable. So when I seen the video at Browns Stadium, I was more like, ‘I cannot believe this is actually happening.’ And it actually happened.”

James believes the Cavs’ championship in 2016 and the real parade that drew more than 1 million fans into the city’s downtown streets made what happened Saturday a little more plausible. He even compared the Browns’ parade to the movie spoofs that have become popular in Hollywood.

“Our fans have seen a true parade,” James said. “You know what that reminded me of? Hollywood makes these movies, right? So think of ‘Scream.’ And then another group of people make ‘Scary Movie,’ which is the spoof of ‘Scream.’ That’s exactly what this is. That was the spoof of our parade. It made fun of the actual thing. It’s not like they were targeting us as the Cavs, but that’s what happens. It’s like a Hollywood thing. I love ‘Scream’ and I love ‘Scary Movie.’ ”

This is a weird take, but I want the Cavs to win another title not for us, but for him and Wade.

I really like them as athletes and I want to see that accolade added to their legacy. With this league being measured by such things? I want to see them get another to silence people with stupid takes.

And he does get it.
 
Bills Mafia putting on a clinic for a great fan base this weekend, after years of being terrible.

How’d the Browns fan base do PR wise this weekend?

Jumping on tables, lighting themselves on fire and fighting Jags fans is good PR for a fan base?

Excellent, actually. The national sentiment in response to the parade was one of empathy and respect that we're still so viciously loyal to a team that has done nothing but kick dirt in our face for the better part of 2 decades. And now we demand a change.

The prevailing outsider opinion was very positive this weekend. I'm actually somewhat surprised; I was in the camp saying fuck what they say, we can do whatever we want to relieve frustration. Turns out we could get our cake and eat it too.

Yep, I was quite surprised by how well it was received.

I don’t think the situations are all that comparable and you’re making way too big of a deal over this.

But because you are the great arbitrator of what a good fanbase is or isn’t b00bie, Browns fans clearly have tremendous passion for their team, or no one would have bothered to show up to this event. The fact that they did do in sub-zero temperatures speaks volumes.

If you noticed, nearly all the negativity from people attending the parade was directed toward ownership and management, not any of the players. If the players aren’t bright enough that they take offense to that, then that’s really on them.

I find it pretty laughable that some of these players try to get upset at the fans who have had to sit through watching appalling football for 18 years and still remain loyal, and not their own damn coach who passes the blame onto them, and their new GM that publicly denounces their talent.

That’s good fun, they filled up half of the stadium in jacksonville and raised a shit ton for Dalton’s charity.

Good stuff, fans like that deserve a winner.

Fans have a right to do whatever they want to do.

At least Browns fans cared enough to do something stupid.

I didn’t agree with it, but now that it’s over, I find it hilarious.

I also think any whiny bitch-ass player who has a problem with it and calls out the fanbase publicly can go fuck himself.

They don’t like it? Stop being a laughing stock on the field. Until then, you can’t say what a “true fan” is just because they decided to rub your bunch of goddam losers’ faces in it.

To summarize, I wasn’t a fan of the premise of the parade. However, I have more of a problem with the players thinking they have the right to bitch about the fans.

I'd argue that any team in a similar position would have done something just as nice. Ya know, like buying Ryan Merritt everything on his wedding registry. No doubt in my mind that people would be in tears of joy willing to thank everyone in sight had the Browns just made the effing playoffs. It had been 17 years for the Bills.

Or raising over $15,000 for the local food bank “celebrating” a losing season.

Even though it's unseasonably cold in FLA, who wouldn't want to leave fucking Buffalo in January to take a weekend road trip down south for a playoff game? I'd much rather do that than march around a stadium on the lake in sub zero weather.
