Browns Blues

[usurper70]

why would pittsburgh fans want the nfl to take away their rival?

[bluejacketsman86]

can i borrow some of this footage? im making a video tribute the old lady by the lake, and some of this is great!

[bluejacketsman86]

That scoreboard message makes my grandpa cry everytime. He finally had the extra money for season tickets in 1996 and they moved. never got his money back either. said modell could keep it. he didnt want it back for all he cared

[heistheicon]

Who cares about 13yrs for Baltimore, you lost your team so you had to steal one, wow that is class, well enjoy them thieves, sad way to get a team

[astrowrewl]

I agree 100% thank you for saying that

[mlb32001]

We also lost all of the Colts history, they took all of that to Indy. The Browns went away for a few years and then came back to all of there history.

[ttOSUl]

@mlb32001 thats because the cleveland fan base fought to keep the history of cleveland and the name 'browns' in cleveland in not letting model take the name and history that he helped to build, baltimore could have fought to keep its history and stats but they didnt

[bmoreraves27]

@ttOSUI Dude we wanted our name and history back... art model made a deal with cleveland to let you keep the history. Irsay wasnt so kind and left in the middle of the night. The only way we coulda gotten the Colt name and history back was to fork over 30 million or somthing crazy like that for it...

[bmoreraves27]

Not our fault. i didnt ask for a team to move here. We wanted the expansion team... But the NFL gave it to jacksonville. I think everyone knows baltimore is a much bigger football town than Jville.... just look how that franchise is doing there now.... It shoulda been in Bmore instead.

[azaman1794]

Long Live Cleveland =[

[PurpleMalita44]

this video doesn't take away the fact you got a team back in three years with your history, colors, and logos in tact, gimme a break, Modell made it clear no new stadium and the Browns move, they pussy footed around and Baltimore swept em up

you got the SAME team back and you STILL can't do nothing with them, what have you done since they came back in 99, one playoff berth and two winning seasons, you guys are pathetic!

[astrowrewl]

Hey it is not cleveland's fault that the team is owned by someone who doesn't give a shit. He cares more about his soccer team, and you guys got Ozzie Newsome, a browns legend

[Owlman11]

The day the music died my friends.

No matter where you are from, if you are a sports fan this was about the owners saying you don't matter. And now it will be forever so. We just don't matter. "Your" team is all in your mind.

[iamn8thegr8]

Gries Sports Enterprises v. Cleveland Browns Football Co., 26 Ohio St. 3d 15 (1986)

Don't say you weren't warned. ;)

[iamn8thegr8]

Still makes me laugh. Several years and events transpired before the team was "stolen". Nobody cared to pay attention until Art left after being neglected for the last time. Cleveland bailed on the Browns to include them in Gateway because of Art's financial needs to stay afloat. Apparently nobody remembers the land Art tried to buy in Strongsville in the 80's to build a stadium outside of Cleveland. For such a "loyal" fanbase, they had a negligent ear for business.

[coasclan]

I hate the browns being a steeler fan but I love the rivalry and modell was a bag o shit for takin your team from you but hey your back and the rivalry lives on good luck

[loveclevelandohio]

Quit lying...it doesn't suit you.

[nflsmackdown]

Loser fans!

They begged Dan Rooney to get their team back!

HERE WE GO STEE-LERS, HERE WE GO!

[lehooper]

Hey, The Rooney's are selling the Stilers to a New yorker.. ;) They are having trouble selling the suites since all the big money has left Pittsburgh.

[nflsmackdown]

Fuck you!

You obviously don't know how to comprehend any of the reports. Dan Rooney wants to buy out his family members, who own a percentage of the team, you fucken Clownie.

Now, go back and watch your 1960s footage of your glory years, and stop following legendary teams with rings like the Steelers!

HERE WE GO STEE-LERS, HERE WE GO!

[vidlivs]

Steelers, drug induced cheaters of the 70's. Hey they were good, but not always winners.

Go watch highlights of Clff Stoudt, Mike Abercrombie and Bubby Brister to see how bad the Steelers were. Even Kordell Slash Stewart sucked when Bill Cowher started coaching. You lost an AFC championship at home to the San Diego Chargers...a warm weather team. So much for tough Pittsburgh football.

[loveclevelandohio]

Fuck you and your mother. Rooney was against the move from the beginning and he showed the class you mother fuckers in Steelertown could never muster up...he voted against the move. What did the fuck did you guys do? You laughed at us when Modell took the Browns away.I never met ONE Steeler fan who was not happy the Browns were taken away. We begged Rooney? That's bullshit and you know it. Grow a pair and stop lying, something you asses know all too well how to do. GO BROWNS!

[slvr03rsx]

If Tagliabue wasn't a biased Redskins fan who kept a team out of Baltimore, Baltimore would have never "stolen" the Browns. Blame Tagliabue.

[ccvikings09]

thats awesome man... and from 1930-1960 you can say hey... the browns were the best... but what have they done since 2000. they have made the playoffs once in 8 years. congrats... meanwhile the steelers have had one losing season since 2000. =).

[biglar831]

And yet we have sellouts every game....that is why we have one of the best bases in the NFL.

[Dorsey169]

You ever heard of 16 hall of famers and 8 championships bag of douch

[spmcnelly]

fuck the browns and the pound puppies...u had to endure 3 years without shitty ass football..it was a blessing..baltimore went 11 years without football...at least modell had the decency to leave you the history, colors, and logos..we didn't have that luxury...fuck cleveland..last year was a fluke...u went 10-6? woopie...we got 2 division titles and a super bowl since football returned to baltimore, plus the best defense in NFL history..kiss my pink irish ass, crybaby's

[emrrbv]

so in other words u got your team stolen out fr under u so it's ok to go steal another city's team from then??i think u suffer fr a case of robert irsay's disease.boy he was a real bastard.why couldnt carroll rosenbloom have not drowned,kept his senses and the balt colts intact?? i am sure most baltimoreans would have gladly chosen that. and he shd have given don shula a lifetime contract. i'm fr chicago & completely unbiased on this so no cheap shots about the dawg pound to me are necc please.

[spmcnelly]

eye for an eye..that's what I say..u don't know because you always have had football in chicago...baltimore has become a football city and this city centred around the Colts..Irsay promised Governor Shaffer that he would stay in Baltimore, then snuk out in the middle of the night..what Modell did isn't like what Irsay did..he left the legacy, history and colors of the Clowns in Cleveland..Irsay took everything, but the players and coaches still maintain their allegance to Baltimore

[emrrbv]

i'll admit that irsay screwed the fans of baltimore by sneaking out in the middle of the night after 30 yrs of sellouts for the colts very simliar to how the oak raiders got screwed by al davis,who moved baack and then sues everyone in sight. it never ends. baltimore has great fans but cleveland didnt deserve what happened but they got rid of modell, got a new stadium but still wait for the sb title that hangs in balt. let me ask u:was having the redskins make up for losing the colts???

[spmcnelly]

baltimore fans hate the redskins..that didn't fill any kind of gap.

[lehooper]

I remember Memorial Stadium being empy at all Colts games. Thats why Irsay moved. You didn't support the Colts. Afterall its still a Redskins town.

[spmcnelly]

r u serious? look at a Baltimore during football season...every lot around the stadium is filled with purple...i know a bunch of skins fan in baltimore that jumped ship when we got the ravens in 1996..don't even bring up the skins cause we own the skins..u havent beat us since 2000 and yes..the preseason doesnt count ask anyone..as far as baltimore being skins country..that horseshit bro

[slvr03rsx]

Actually no. People from Baltimore hate the Redskins. Wanna know why the Redskins are one of the most valuable franchises? B/c their fans are stupid enough to spend $20 on a shuttle to take them from the parking lot to the stadium since its miles away. They have an owner who would charge money for the air people breathe if he was allowed to and they have one of the biggest pieces of concrete shit stadiums in the league.

[vidlivs]

Crowds did start to dwindle after Bert Jones started sucking after 1978 or 1979.

[MrBoh528]

Cleveland got their history and colors back, Baltimore had to watch for 13 years as their Colts played in Indy..that's the difference

[vidlivs]

It did not matter that Rosenbloom drowned. Didn't he already swap the Colts for the Rams with Irsay, or was that his wife after he drowned?

[emrrbv]

yeah i guess u r right. i am just saying that the world was better when he owned the balt colts with johnny u and they had a loyal a vociferous fan base and they were a part of the city. a landmark. as were the cleve browns. and the rams locked into l.a. the football cardinals solid in stl. the oak raiders were the most envied and feared franchise in the nfl.then along comes robert irsay & next al davis gets ideas & then the beloved art modell and they FUCKED UP THE ENTIRE STATE OF THE NFL.

[spmcnelly]

cleveland suck...boo fuckin hoo hoo...u got a team back in 3 years, kept ur shit brown colors and loser history...indy took baltimore's logos and names...we built our own history and you wanna keep bitching about the browns leaving...you didn't pony up the money for a new stadium..so fuck you and the browns...we took your sorry team and made them champions in purple and black

[brownns83]

You could actually enjoy that Super Bowl considering the team was only in it's 5th year in Baltimore? I'm not trying to pick on you but I'm curious. There couldn't have been much tradition or attachment to the Ravens at that point. Now they've been there awhile and there are younger fans who have probably grown up watching them. The biggest reason most people were pissed about the move is that we approved a tax to fund renovations on the old stadium and Modell split anyways. Is Ogden retiring?

[wmsrebel2]

ya it was 1 of the most depressing things to happen 2 the city

[Joeybsmooth]

Was it really that sad for people when the browns left town?

[pablomonkey93]

YES, browns fans are the best in the NFL, no doubt

Browns Fan 4ever!

[vidlivs]

How come the same sadness was not felt for the Cleveland Barons of the NHL after 1978, when they ceased operations...hahaha...lol.

There's ice and snow in Cleveland, better a hockey team there than in Nashville, Phoenix and Florida. The NFL and pro sports is not the same as it was in the 70's and 80's. It's all about greedy owners like Art who've shafted fans and city governments to build them new stadiums and arenas while raping fans of tax dollars and charging more for seats. RIPOFF.

[msou110]

i was too young to really realize what was going on. i just knew there were no more browns. my dad was so pissed when they left that he refused to wear anything browns til just a couple of years ago

[lucianasalazar001]

What a sad day, Baltimore bitches about losing a second rate team and thats why it took them so long to get a team back.

[DaveTelevision]

I was there every game for the last year. Row 6 in the Dawg Pound between the posts! You can bet your ass that I got my piece of bleacher seat! I often wondered why the engineers couldn't have just built an updated replica of the old stadium. I loved that place!

[Hawaiirunner]

Is this the music from the opening of Rocky II?

[wayne763]

This video with the slow motion and melodramtic music is straight-up perverse.

There is no tragedy in losing a sporting event. Cleveland needs to reassess its priorities.

[bnqt]

You clearly aren't from Cleveland, mind your own business.

[thatisabigten4]

i remember this day. and i was 8 years old living in cincy when it happened. im glad the browns are back. i wanna se them win a super bowl and fuck up the steelers

[Gilch30]

It would take awhile for them to give it to the Steelers since Pittsburgh has 5 rings and Cleveland has 0. I would like to see the Browns win one though

[bturowski88]

Browns got it good. Baltimore had to wait 12 years for football and have to watch their old team (colts) play every week. Be grateful. GO RAVENS!!!

[kahotep7414]

Actually The Colts use to be The Dayton Triangles from dayton Ohio and they went on to move to Baltimore and were rename the colts and they kept the same uniforms.

[44Matthew44]

huh?...where do you get your history from?...Baltimore was granted a team after the Miami Seahawks folded in 1947...that team folded as well, but then Baltimore was granted a team again after the failure of the Dallas Texans and began play as the Baltimore Colts in 1952...Dayton, Ohio?...not the Colts.

[wesisgneiss]

Browns fans are by far the best fans in the league. We love our team and will never forget our past. GO BROWNS!!

[DrBenKBen]

the Cleveland Browns will always be in my heart. Go Brownies.

[dennydog10]

GO TO HELL MODELL!!!

[crockett007]

damn that's fuckin sad seeing all those heartbroken browns fans.....art modell sucks cock

[smackdown9d9]

Cleveland has and will always recover..But football in this town will never be the same. F--K the Ravens!!

[Hockeyfan22168]

I had guessed that things were never the same there, even though Cleveland got a team called the Browns back.

Here in MN, we all felt for you, especially having still felt the sting of losing the North Stars. Home teams never seem permanent after going through something like that.

[lambert581]

I remember one radio station in Ohio they told all the Browns fans to bring anything with the Browns on it to bring to a bar parking lot and they would burn it they also set fire to a dummy of Art Moddell.

[chappy3141]

I think it's funny for everyone who is talking crap about the Browns. You guys don't know what it is like to be a fan. You just go around picking whatever team is good at the time and have no loyalty.

[junipree]

ravens blow

benny586 is a los-er

[troyflowers]

sophiegromit, you are a worthless piece of shit. kill yourself.

lehooper, great vid, go browns

[benny586]

the browns suck, their team is nothing but the left overs from other teams, ravens will destroy them this year, like last year, and like next year

[lehooper]

Hmm That can be said about every team in the NFL lol The Baltimore Rats destroyed the Browns? 15-14 and 27-17 is destroyed. HAHAHA

[hollies65]

Guess not asswipe.

[creepybutcool]

u guys have no lifes.making hate comments.losers

[mrjfrostbite]

This should put things in perspective for alot of people. Especially with how close Pittsburgh was/is to loosing the Penguins. This wasn't about rivalries it was about tradition going away and a city loosing a piece of itself so one man can pocket more money and it makes me feel somewhat guilty (but not too much) for celebrating the Colts victory being that I'm originally from a pro Steelers area and married a girl from Cleveland and this tradition isn't a regular part of our lives anymore.

[royalgk]

Wow, a lot of the people making comments about the Browns sucking lately are dumb as hell. Of course the Steelers are better, along with just about every other team in the NFL, it's been a while since they were an EXPANSION TEAM. Effin morons. The Browns still haven't gotten out of their expansion stage, although I think they should have, they haven't. Let's talk once they get re-established.

[holyhandgrenade105]

who won this game?

[JerrySherk]

great movie

[lehooper]

72 was the major player in making it. ;)

[crazybluto]

thanks for the correction

[crazybluto]

nice vid...was such a sad day...I think the worst of it for me was Bob Hope forgetting the words to "Thanks for the memories." Here's to better seasons

[lehooper]

Bob Hope was at the Inians last game in 1993 not the Browns.

[Spidermonkey630]

you guys that hate the browns can go fuck some donkeys

[ccvikings09]

cleveland fans can say what they want...BROWNS SUCK...there record is 4-10 right now...embarassing. the steelers had a lot of offseason trouble and started horribly (never had a worse record than the Browns though) and pulled it together at the end to make it back to 500 by winning 5-6...Browns will always suck...never won a super bowl and never will

[lehooper]

Cleveland has 12 count em pro football championships.

[sophiegromit]

Yeah, way back when the pyramids where built! You pathetic LOSER Browns fans live on past glory. Douchebags!

[creepybutcool]

u suck.listin u douchebag u can ro in hellthe browns will kick some ass this year sophie.

[sophiegromit]

LMAO! Listen you abortion, the Browns SUCK, and will ALWAYS SUCK!

[jawhitak]

ccvikings09 needs to learn some history! The Steeler have finally tied the series with the Browns as 55 games a piece.. All it took for the Steelers to do this is have the Browns fold for 3 years and be an expansion team for 7 years.. Pull your head out dude!

[ifrit103]

yeah you suck, too bad you won't ever be anything but a whining front running loser, try and be loyal and not jump on a ship of another team goof, and 12 championships is all I can say

[ccvikings09]

I hope this wasnt directed to me...because i am the most faithful fan there is...Ive been a Steelr fan for all 16 years of my life and plan to stay one forever...your were 1/2 on discribing me... front runner i am...loser i am not....and neither are the steelers condiering they have only 1 losing season in the last 7 years while the Browns have 6 and the Bengals have 1 winning season in the last 7

[ifrit103]

how can you say that they never had a worst record than the browns we used to spank the steelers all the time up until they left and went to baltimore but you wouldnt know anything about that since you dont know much about football right now the browns look like the steelers of the late 80's look it up and do some reading before you tell me how they're all that great remember there was football before 2000 and by the way its spelled steelers not steelr and its considering not condiering

[ccvikings09]

Where in my paragraph did i say that we have never had a worse record?And the Browns are way worse then the Steelers of the late 80s.The Steelers worst record in the late 80s was 5-11.You're worst was 3-13 along with 2 4-12s within the first 6 years of 2000s.Don't tell me i dont kno my history kid, cause i kno plenty.We havent gone 4-12 ever since the 16 game seasons began in 78, while u have either gone 4-12 or under 5 times.Your worst record overall was 2-14 while ours was 5-11 ;)

[darthnegate]

...ya, AFTER the 16 season change. before that the steelers didn't have a winning season for the first 30 years of existence. the browns had 4 championships in four years and went undefeated in our inaugural season.

[holyhandgrenade105]

Burn in hell modell

[ejacks3]

Sophiegromit needs a hug

[sophiegromit]

The Browns SUCK HAIRY ASS!!! Living in Cleveland, and supporting their teams, is like driving a fucking Chevy Cavalier. Mainly, SECOND RATE and BLAND!!! LOL!!!

[IkeT24]

I'm glad the browns are back. Thats two more wins for Pittsburgh every year.

[jawhitak]

Yeah.. The Steelers have finally tied the series.. 55 to 55 games in 2007.. How bad had the Steelers have to be for them to finally do this? 12 years the Browns no longer exist and 8 years as an expansion team.

[lesbleus55]

fuck you. Browns fans are the best in the world and ur a fucking loser.

[sophiegromit]

Too bad The Browns weren't GONE FOR GOOD! Maybe then, so many of their pathetic, loser fans would GET A LIFE, and fashion would greatly improve in Cleveland/NE Ohio from all the fans getting rid of their fugly Browns shirts, hats, jackets, etc.!!! LOL!

[angieknipp05]

You obviously don't get.

[hairywonder]

thats my highschool football coach

[lehooper]

Your high school coach is a legend here in Cleveland.

[spmcnelly]

you have legends in Cleveland?

[lehooper]

The only Baltimore legend wore blue and white unless you call the killa stabba man a legend.. spmcnelly seems salty, That Browns sweep of the Ratbirds must of hurt.

[spmcnelly]

bout time you losers did something..while you were making bad draft picks and bitching about art model, we were winning championships and going to the playoffs...9 pro bowls, 2 defensive MVPs, and Super Bowl XXXV MVP seems like a legend to me, regardless of who he "killed"..how many super bowl MVPs do you have on your team..oh that right the only bowl the Pound Puppies have been to is the deuce I'm bout to drop in a couple of mins.

[darthnegate]

wow, i never knew anyone else said salty besides cleveland heights =)

[oiler90]

I was there and I can honestly say it was one of the saddest moments in my life, period.

[artey23]

i was at the last browns home game in 1995. Truly it was one of the saddest momments in sports history.
