Franchise's Moving - ballsofsteel - 01-13-2017
A few years back the NFL discussed combining the Browns and the Bengals into one team and moving them to Columbus. Now once again due to the ineptness,
(definition: Lacking or showing a lack of skill or competence; bungling or clumsy), of both pathetic, unsuccessful franchises, there is talk of doing this again. They feel Ohio doesn't deserve Two teams. If this would take place would all you Cintuckian's follow the Bungals to Columbus and continue living your lives around this franchise?
Thanks!

The only difference that a down year for one team is 6 wins and a down year for the other is winless. Pretty significant difference.

RE: Franchise's Moving - WiregrassBenGal - 01-13-2017
So this post is about the Bengals and Browns possibly moving to Columbus? I thought it would be a comment on the wacky Charger's move to L.A.
Dawg pound Cleveland fans would come back in droves if the team played like anything close to a winning season. They actually did pretty decent in 2014. And of course the Bengals should stay in Cincinnati, although during their bad years were sometimes talked about as a relocate-to-LA team.
Which brings me to my next point: the Chargers are going to spend the next two seasons playing in a stadium (LA Stubhub Center) that is smaller than Nippert Stadium before the renovations. Is Qualcomm stadium that bad? When I lived in CA, I drove past it about three times and never made it to a Charger's game, but on TV it looked okay. Maybe the Chargers are afraid of the scary neighborhood around the coliseum? The Rose Bowl won't let the NFL play there and Angel's stadium is not suitable since they took out the outfield seats.
CA is a strange place: more than half the populace is on the dole, in most areas you have to be bi-lingual Spanish to navigate socially or work in the service sector, there is the ever present specter of "The Big One," there have been unending years of drought, and the cost of living is ridiculous.
So maybe if the Chargers flop in LA they could go to Columbus? Or St. Louis?

I thought it was about the misuse of apostrophe's.

I'm not going to lie; the Bengals, Browns and Ravens roster combined into one team would probably be a contender to make the Super Bowl.

They were in contention for second place in the division much of the year. This new age Bengals franchise is nothing like the Bengals of old.

He's just jealous because pennsylvania only has one team.

If they combined the teams? Wouldn't that be the same thing as moving the Bengals to Columbus and forcing every single Brown to retire?

Fixed it for you.
Adding the Browns roster makes them a contender for a top 10 pick.

Andy Dalton is a good QB. I just hope he don't sneak out of town like Carson did. We lost a lot of good board members due to nervous breakdowns because of Carson's defection.

LOL. A pea-brain would look at that post and realize he's not even trying too hard. Just throwing crap on the wall, and they'd just ignore it.
I noticed you didn't ignore it...

No one...and i mean no one, other than you, is talking/thinking/pondering/planning/musing about that.
