Mike Polk Jr. has some thoughts on the Cleveland Browns' Week 4 loss

[@titansrule72]

stop putting your energy into a team that will never give you a fraction of that love back.

[@tyronemiller1671]

I gave up feeling Angry about the Browns long time ago....The problem occurs when you actually have expectations...only for them to be dashed into the ground of your soul EVERY time. So just let go....of expecting the Browns organization to bring you any football joy and you will have low blood pressure and can live in peace on Sundays

[@Kenny-fuutball]

I finally realized that as well i’ll always watch but the excitement is just not there anymore everytime i start to get pumped up they fail miserably its just the same old story year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year, yea you get my drift lol

[@chrisc3118]

I agree with you and that's a great mindset. I grew up watching them and saw gut wrenching loses in the 1980, 1985, 1986 & 1987 playoffs as well as the team moving away and winning the SB a few years later. What worked for me is to no longer get emotionally tied to the Browns. "The Browns are the Browns" (JuJu Smith Schuster). Also having a backup team to root for is definitely a must. This year (and last) I've been rooting for the Lions as my backup team. If you're going to be a Browns fan, you definitely need a GOOD backup team. Good = they win. Don't have your backup team as another perennial loser like the Jets etc.

Such a great point. I'm completely apathetic towards this franchise at the moment. I knew something was off when the Amari Cooper big touchdown was called back on a ticky tack penalty and I didn't glow a gasket. I just smirked and let out a breathy laugh while muttering "Of course." It's not that the losses aren't affecting me, but I dont think wins would've moved the needle much either.

[@BrexitToTheExit-kh1bk]

*correction on the record sheet: 2020 we started 4-1

[@gaignum792]

They are bad and boring. Rooting for them is work. Go Guards.

[@jeffkovach9495]

Watson just watson money and run! GET REAL CLEVELAND!

[@joeljoss1916]

You know what? He's just described my post game experience. My neighbor and I always rehash the game briefly as we meet outside on Mondays and this time we didn't even bring it up.

[@trippeddownthestairs8238]

Deshaun Watson makes it very easy to be indifferent about this team. This team isn't likeable and they aren't fun to watch.

[@abdulsmith1569]

That's a u problem Go D Watson

[@situated4]

He and his representatives are absolute, absolute, absolute financial geniuses.

[@Kenny-fuutball]

All i wanna do is watch Nick Chubb again thats it! Win or lose i love watching him play!

[@UnreleasedThugga]

Watson is always fun to watch it’s why he’s a generational talent

[@steveramos2861]

It's important to laugh when your team is flailing. Thank you Mike Polk Jr.!

[@guitarplayerstowohio]

The last time I felt this apathy, the old franchise moved.

[@SpectralightPhoto]

I'm sad to say that I've become indifferent about the Browns. When I moved here in 1980, I quickly became a rabid fan - learning all the players' names and positions. Over the last few years, I've grown weary of the "team that WILL make the play-offs and be a legitimate Super Bowl contender" (ON PAPER). Well, the game ain't played "on paper." I've found peace by not being so invested in the Browns (and Guardians and Cavs, too). Although I check all three teams' scores almost daily in the hopes that maybe this will be THE YEAR (well, at least we had the 2016 Cavs), I've pretty much given up hope on CLE sports. One phrase that I'm so tired of is, "Well, there's always next year." I don't think that phrase has ever been uttered in the Boston area for any of their pro sports teams. They know how to build winning cultures.

[@christopherwaits7852]

They were 3-1 in 2020

[@teonsmith1209]

Yeah he messed up the numbers bad 🤣

[@theturnerfamilyttf3857]

Just expect better and being faithful is a huge part of being a loyal fanbase

[@mikescarlett3186]

I really enjoyed that game. It was a good game.😸😁😸

[@rickgray2465]

Pink Floyd said it years ago "I have become comfortably numb" I have no feelings for this team whatsoever!! Can anyone really pull for Watson, thanks Jimmy & Dee !

[@robertroberts9782]

Signing watsun did this i think people actually root for him to lose...when flacco was on his run last year town felt like 80s browns town for a 5 game stretch

[@xxmarsr]

Luckily I do not care about the Browns anymore. That feeling hit about mid third quarter. I just do not care anymore. Stefanski cannot call plays that work, at all. The offensive line is offensive. Defense did what they could but not enough. Go Guards!

[@mikejelinek1413]

The fans have not bought it into this team. Who is there to like on the team? They had a real QB that we all could get behind but we couldn't resign him they were worried about Watsons fragile ego! Meanwhile Flacco beat the Steelers yesterday. Myles Garrett is the pulse of this team but he plays defense and defense rarely scores. We have missed Nick Chubb so badly all you have to do is watch the Browns play live and look at all the "24" jerseys in the stands, Nick is quiet as well as is our head coach who has never called out a player for a horrible performance.. Watson is not a likable guy maybe that's why he had to force himself on all the chicks. He looks like a moody you know what, if I had 230 million I would fake being happy even if I wasn't..lol Maybe Watson will demand a trade, oh we couldn't be so lucky.

[@johnwebb167]

Garrett is a fake DPOY who the NFL has placed that award on him when TJWatt's numbers say he is the real awards winner!!!

[@mrt1998]

I'm done watching any football unless it's The Ohio State Buckeyes!

[@lawrenceturner5882]

It's funny how browns media try to say the Raiders are a bad team before talking about how the browns are, as a raiders fan that is nothing further than the truth, we still finding our way like most teams in the first quarter of the season but we're not a bad team that just irks me the disrespect we get

[@Barbarianbrotha]

We suck again. Time to have a fire sale and maybe we'll have one good season in a decade again...smh

[@situated4]

They should NEVER have come back as a pro team to Cleveland, OH. Cleveland does not deserve an NFL team. Columbus does. Cleveland does not. The performance since 1999 bears all this out.

[@jeffkovach9495]

JUSTICE HAS THA FAME!

[@paintnamer6403]

All they need is a new domed stadium!!!

[@walkerb1734]

Wish they never returned in 1999. And….wish they’d leave again!

[@MichialAmbrose]

Unwatchable overpaid roster

[@Freddy_Lugosi]

Can we please stop giving this hack air time? Please?

[@christopherwaits7852]

I’ve had apathy since they traded for Watson and dumped our QB when he was hurt

[@chaunceyg5657]

Except Baker demanded a trade and he wasn't hurt at the time, but keep making things up to make yourself feel better.

[@AbrahamIsUrFather]

@@chaunceyg5657baker didn’t request a trade until we starting going for Watson

[@christopherwaits7852]

@@chaunceyg5657 lol he was hurt all of 2021 and demanded a trade AFTER they went after the rapist. Who also quit on his team 5 months after signing a new deal. Cope harder Watson wanker

[@abdulsmith1569]

Welp he's Tampas QB, u know it's never to late to for them lol 😆

[@situated4]

Go BUCKEYES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@christopherwall444]

I miss the GREAT Bud Shaw!

[@robertroberts9782]

😂 ..i played softball with buddy . Great guy

[@lambert581]

My prediction is Cleveland benches or cuts Watson. Or Watson gets suspended for recent accusations

[@John94709]

Believeland is struggling mighty hard right about now. Call me crazy, but I can see a tiny glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

[@jimcolombo9150]

..... will they eva win a championship?? maybe, ....................................nah. It starts at the top, keep signing those checks jimmy to your guy, de(loser).......whats his name...................

[@brendanjobe7286]

We will be fine come December when they really count. Chubb will take care of alot of things that aren’t right currently. Until then, I want to try Betsy’s famous Buffalo Chicken Dip. Please post the recipe Ya’ll
