I'm surprised the Browns didn't immediately sign the beer-thrower as their new quarterback.

[@RobCamp-rmc_0]

Pfff he woulda been hyped up all to hell and the turned out to be yet another wet fart in the long Taco Bell gastrointestinal crisis that was the post ‘99 Cleveland Browns quarterback history. But I guess at least he was only a drunk and not a[n alleged] cokehead, right?

[@Jay_76]

Maybe he was and we just don't know it. This was, as of 2019, 9 years ago after all.

[@shannonburninhell8906]

@@Jay_76 f the domb browns

[@JosephDiveley]

Nah that guy had talent so no way we sign em. We prefer washed up serial molesters/grapist who should be in jail as our QB but only after we sacrifice the entire future of our draft for 3 years just to make sure he has no one to play with. But it's ok because we can make the playoffs with a former Ravens QB who was washed up and retired.

[@aldroegerbil8693]

Bro I lived in cleveland for two years and now that they’ve gotten serviceable people here get so depressed when they lose. Back when they always lost it was kind of just what happens but now there are stakes and they continue to disappoint

[@JuggyBohab]

tell me you went to the parade mike...

[@jordanbisasky4586]

Check out Mike Polk's twitter, he retweeted video of him there

[@saadesigner07]

He was there, but wasn’t really involved with planning. (I was on the committee)

[@SFK360]

You need to upload more content man. As a non-Cleveland guy this stuff is still fuckin hilarious.

[@riveraricardo008]

After living IN Cleveland ( Not one of the many many suburbs around Cleveland, but in the City itself ) i can say this. Cleveland SUCKS, and this is the only thing i found funny about Cleveland. Now i will get fans and people telling me i don't know what i am talking about. So why is Cleveland in the top 10 most violent cities in America, if its so NICE.... Almost 10 years i lived in Cleveland, and i have lived in a lot of states, Visited a LOT of countries, and lived in 3 different countries. With hand on my heart i can say Cleveland was the WORSE place i have ever visited, or Lived.

[@ussgordoncaptain]

I want to move to cleveland, I live in the bay area and hear you can buy a house for 200k. If the rumors are true then I'm moving there for the sake of actually paying rent :D

[@scottgray4623]

This story always cracks me up. 😅

[@eromitlabhitw]

I'm conflicted. There's so much good comedy that comes out of the Browns being terrible. But I admire Browns fans for sticking with their team through this epic terribleness and wish they could have something good to pull for. But as a Ravens fan, I know that Browns fans wouldn't want my pity; they're still a division rival and as such I'm supposed to hate them as much as they hate us. I didn't become a football fan to have to deal with these goddamned moral dilemmas!

[@lurchlogan]

eromitlabhitw ... they do have something good to pull for... 1st pick in the draft... every year!!

[@travisfrazier3407]

There's no moral dilemma here. You can eat shit for stealing our team!

[@eromitlabhitw]

Shoot, man, I didn't do it. Art Modell did that, and I'm glad he's not the owner any more either.

[@njebei]

My boiling hatred for the Ravens died the day Modell had to sell his part of the team. My only resentment these days is you kept Ozzie Newsome. A class man and a great football mind. We really could have used him the last 20 years. Don't get me wrong. I still don't like you but we both play in the same division as the Steelers. We both can share in our hatred of them.

[@davincent98]

Dude, how many teams get a perfect season?

[@dustanglx50]

Sad Stat: The current Steelers QB is the winning-est QB in Cleveland's "factory of sadness" Stadium history

[@ozfan6]

Paul Brown Stadium has a plaque out front that reads "owned by the Pittsburgh Steelers"

[@riveraricardo008]

But look at the quality of players. A good player gets let go. A bad player is kept. The Browns is where a good Q/B is chewed up, Any good player and they sell him.... So how is ANY team not good against the Browns.

[@Jamgasm675]

As a ravens fan this is the funniest shit ever

[@cbo9090]

Who did you like before the Ravens? The Browns?

[@ggates5371]

When the Browns left Cleveland in 1995, fans were tearing seats out of the stadium and throwing them on the field. In 2002, when a bad call cost the Browns the game, and a possible playoff spot, fans started throwing beer bottles onto the field as they were aiming for the refs. Everything this clip describes is 100 percent accurate. I even remember one time in the tailgate parking lot, some dude was taking a dump, out in the open, in the middle of the parking lot. Cleveland has some classy fans. Lol

[@Kennypowers51]

Well, he figured the Browns had shit on the fans for so long it was about time he shit on them.

[@mrmajikjr]

That beer bottle thing happened in 2001... get this, they actually made the playoffs in 2002.

[@mikeandmars2345]

[@WillJM81280]

Every successful Baltimore season has to feel real great for Browns fans. They literally just took the Browns, changed their name/location, and boom, a Super Bowl. And another one later on. Good old Cleveland. A factory of sadness to the end.

[@talkgb]

WillJM81280 excuse me, that’s like calling a comedian bad at his job because he is a bad lawyer. The browns job is to be that comedian in a field of lawyers.

[@wimblewomble21]

I am from the UK and a West ham United fan, we have been a factory of sadness for years. Must be why I picked the browns as my nfl team. I couldn't care less about winning. When it is our turn to win then we will win big and it will have been worth the wait. But picking the browns as a team was an easy choice for me, I would rather have loyalty and pride over success any day of the week. Even if the browns lose the next 1000 games I will still be supporting them

[@josephskidmore6005]

Something you'd probably find amusing : Around the time of Mike Polk's story, the Browns ownership also had a majority stake in Aston Villa F.C., making sure (of course) to oversee disappointment on both sides of the Atlantic.

[@edrandall1869]

Great story, Mike. You are truly a Cleveland treasure!

I gotta think Browns fans REALLY hate Eagles fans right now. Eagles get McNabb in the same draft that Browns get Couch. Eagles trade with Browns to get Carson Wentz. And now, on top of everything else, Eagles fans are stealing the whole 'Dawg Pound' idea from the Browns.

I feel for Browns fans. Have been a Saints fan since the 70s, even during the brown paper bag years. Get a great quarterback like Archie Manning, same lousy receivers and running backs. Draft a great running back, he sucks. Trade him and he’s now running like a hall of fame player. As old school Saints fans about “prevent defense”. Hope you start winning, hope it won’t take nearly 50 years to happen.

You really don't know much about the Browns games. They toy with our emotions constantly. They give us hope in the first half before giving up a stupid score just before half. Somehow they stay in the game and may even lead but we know how it is going to end. How many teams have a website dedicated to our worst losses since 1999? subwayrecord.wordpress.com/2015/10/27/every-browns-loss-since-1999-ranked/ The fans of most teams would pack it in if any of the top ten happened.to them. Browns fans are special and I'm not sure that's good thing. All I know is if they ever get good, I feel for the rest of the league. We've been saving up a lot of anger and there will be trouble when millions of Browns fans release it all at once.

"your mascot is racist." "so you couldn't be atlanta, huh... didn't everybody beat atlanta in the world series?" (one cleveland fan looked at me and goes, "that hurts man, that hurts.") and when the game is out of hand we yelled, "cleveland sucks, cleveland sucks, cleveland sucks, OHIO!"

Cops sent a paddy wagon, grown men were crying when said n done, bottom line is have class dont throw anything at opposing fans anywhere at any time.

Loyalty should be a two way street. The Cleveland Browns have the most loyal fan-base of any sports team on the planet, but the Browns have done nothing to earn such loyalty. My advice to Browns fans: vote with your wallets. I'm not suggesting that you should give up on the Browns, but cut off their revenue stream. Don't watch NFL games. Don't buy tickets to games. Don't buy the merchandise. Give the Browns some well-deserved tough love. Who knows? Maybe the Browns would commit themselves to winning games and titles as opposed to making a profit.
