No matter who we draw in the first round, be it the Colts or Chargers, it won't be an easy out.  And, we're not getting the bye anyway, so seeding means very little to my way of thinking.  And, the teams above us could simply win and keep us in the #4 spot anyway.

No, the only valid reason might be to ensure that the Browns do not get a WC berth.  And, maybe that's just superstition on my part.  We held the door open for the Jets in 2009 and look what that got us.  

I would think his beef would be with Baltimore since they were the original Browns team to begin with. This latest iteration is an expansion team. I dunno..Maybe he just hates the city.. I've been all over the US, but not Cleveland for some reason. Been to Youngstown, Akron, Toledo, but not the mistake on the lake.. Dunno how i managed to avoid it..
