It's fun to talk shit to teams that have a shot to do something this year. With the injury gods' hate boner for the Ravens and everyone knowing the Steelers weren't  good enough, it wasn't fun beating sick dogs. It's why nobody really made fun of the Browns here.

I always thought smack talk would be fun after the Bengals took the North. But it isn't.

It's funny but it is true. In the entire time I was on the old boards and this new version, the Browns were never really represented. They'd have one maybe two fans show up with "hope" in the off-season and then by week 4 they sucked again and were onto the next QB that was going to fix the franchise.

I think we have one fan of the team that showed up and had hope last season, but even with the playoff run last season there was no influx of Browns fans, almost like even they knew it wasn't going to last.
