Cleveland Browns, what can I say, after spending all those years living not far from the Patriots stadium? Cleveland still complains about Bill Belichek and how awful he was when he was here.
It seems that at halftime, when other teams go to the locker room and find a way to win, the Browns go in there and figure out a way to lose. They couldn't do any worse if they went a few miles down the road to Glenville HS on the east side and asked the sports director if he knew of some former players who didn't get to the pros.
What's really sad is the fans seem to accept it, in an odd sort of way.

You travel in different circles than I do. Belichek is rarely mentioned, but when he is, it’s with the Cleveland curse in mind. That is, yep, he was terrible here. Ask him. And he went on to be great, like a lot of talents who left. The reverse is true, Holmgren came here for a check. He did nothing, and we have him to thank for Brandon Weedon.
Accept it? I’ll grant you there is a hard core of fans who sell out the stadium. But, there is a lot of bitterness. And not a lot of gear being bought/worn/displayed.
Being a Patriots fan, I guess you feel you can get it wrong to suit your views? That’s consistent with your brethren.
