Oakland, NY Jets, Atlanta, and KC may beg to differ. I know the Browns suck, and SF can have Romeo Crennel if they want, but let's not go running the Browns out of town.

As much as I can't stand Art Modell, I think the Browns move had a lot to do with politicians just like we are seeing with the 49ers. SF fans are fortunate enough, however, to see these deeds right out in the open and choose sides. I think a lot of the stuff with the loss of the original Browns happened behind closed doors.

It would serve the politians right to lose the 49ers entirely. Do an "Atlas Shrugged", move out of state entirely and hang a sign out front of the stadium that says "It's all yours".

"Oakland, NY Jets, Atlanta, and KC may beg to differ."

Every one of those teams has at least BEEN to a Super Bowl. The Jets and KC are in the playoffs this year. Atlanta was in the hunt. Oakland... well, Al Davis has lost it, and they have almost fallen to the Browns level, except, they've won some Super Bowls.

I'd be happy to run the Browns out of town. I get no joy out of watching a team that can't even get one, just one, pro bowl player. The last legit NFL caliber player the Browns had was Jamir Miller. At this point, I'd at least like to see them change the name. This bunch of losers is soiling what I remember as a great Browns tradition. I often call them the Frowns, because that's what they bring.

Bottom line: The Frowns won't win, or even be competitive again, until Randy Lehner sells the team. He's relatively young and in good health, so my chances of seeing the Browns come back are almost zero.
