Ending of an era and the turning of the page!!!!!!!!!!!

As of this morning on Monday December 29, 2008 there is know a new era in Cleveland browns football history. That 's right folks Romeo Crennel got the boot after a 4-12 record and failed to win the last six games of the season. To be fair i know that it is not all of his fault but you cant fire an entire team. if you could than anybody not on the ir should get fired. The head coach always has his head on a chopping block. He is the first one to go when the team seems to move backwards instead of forwards. As a true sports fan i feel like romeo got a raw deal in the fact that he did what he could with what he had. three qbs get hurt two are on the ir your best receiver had a staph infection that nobody knew about. Your general manager brings in the right personnel but with a guy that cant capitalize on the talent that he has it is very hard to put together a winning strategy and let alone great team chemistry. Phil Savage also got his pink slip he actually got his before the season finale on Sunday. Who is going to be the next browns coach. Definitely not Bill Cowher who played and coached in Cleveland before going to the steelers. I think somebody with head coaching experience is a must. The Cleveland fans are to prideful to have another offensive coordinator come over and not know what to do the first three years he is hear. A college coach will not suffice either because this is a totally different game than the ones they play in the FBS. just go ask Butch Davis or "Nick I'm not going to Alabama Saban". In my opinion the Browns have the right players they just don't have the right dog running their pound. In my mind i think that the browns will look back at their history of coaches and will get a good idea of what coach they want to pursue. (Marty Schottenheimer) until next time.

You root for who?

Is your favorite team headed to post season play? Do you have high expectations year after year and they always let you down? are you a fan of the Lions or the Browns? I am in fact a fan of the latter. Why do I root for them? that is a question that I keep telling myself every Monday after a heart breaking loss. I root for them because when they left in 1995 there was no team there. the city had lost hope they had nothing to root for. after they came back in 1999 the city got excited and got behind them 150% selling out games and bringing back the DAWG POUND. But know to answer the Question of why i root for a team that i know will not go anywhere anytime soon. for the simple fact that i love my town and the browns are part of what makes Cleveland, Cleveland. I also don't want to see them leave again. It is also very nice to see a team that is so passionate about there sports still continue to watch and go to games even in this economic condition. Let me know if this falls in your thoughts the way it did mine. Live well love alot.

Fanhood

Do you root for a team that is always on the losing end. Is your team good one year and terrible the next? Does your team have high expectations but never live up to them? Do you feel like denouncing your loyalty to a losing team and root for a winning one. Before you do that please read this post. You are not alone in your feelings. Your feelings of your team is what make this so much harder. I am a fan of Cleveland sports and as long as i can remember there were always high hopes and dreams in the beginning of any training camp or Summer camp. i can remember when people who actually came to the stadium wearing another teams jersey would get spit on and swore at. know its just as humble as any other stadium. The Dawg pound used to be like a bunch of pitbulls (cleveland fans) against a bunch of pomeranians (other teams Fans). After they left in 1995 and than came back in 1999 they just werent the same team. Yeah they had the same records and the same colors but they have a new stadium with no expectations and a town that was ripped of its pride in 1995 was biting at the bit to get the beloved browns back but what we didnt know was what kind of browns team were we going to get. ever since september of 1999 all i hear i theres always next year or next game. I as a fan am tired of hearing this and seeing all these losses pile up on one of best franchises in the league prior to 1999 really puts a knot in my stomach. I will never denounce my fanhood to a team in which i am so loyal i guess its just a matter of time before we get the right coach, system and management where they belong. Than and God willing maybe just maybe they will be the browns of old. So if you are thinking about denouncing your fanhood dont cause once you do its so much harder to go back.

Why are you a fan??

Do you have a favorite sports team. Why are they your favorite team and why that sport. are you a fan because of your childhood or because an athlete that you looked up to played on that team. my Favorite team is the browns. i feel like i have become a bigger fan of the Browns since i moved to Raleigh since i don't get the opportunity to watch them as often and i feel like i took my fan hood for granted. i also used to be a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but that was just because my favorite player played on that team Mike Alstott who was the same number as i was. As i get older i feel like i become more of a sports fan and not just football but all sports i find myself watching all kinds of sports? maybe this is gearing me up for fatherhood? who knows. Do you have story about your fan hood and why it is your favorite team or athlete.
