question, how long have the browns been the meme of the nfl?

>>64636643
I dont think you understand what a meme team is fäm

>>64636643
The Browns don't qualify as a meme team.

Probably since The Drive
>Red Right 88
>Ernest "what is ball control" Byner
>Franchise Died
>Reborn
>Tim Couch
>First game back BTFO by Corky Stewart
>Baltimore wins owl
>Bottlegate
>15 years of unfiltered sadness
>Approaching respectability with Hoyer
>Johnny Manlel

>Byner

The ball got knocked loose because one of the Browns' O-Linemen gave up his blocking assignment in order to watch the play

I actually have a Giants/Browns Super Bowl concept throwblanket. Family has a collection of them and that's probably the most unique one.

Since they got BTFO by Modell and he left with the team that would eventually go on to win a SB, and a head coach that will be known as the most successful head coach of the last 20 years, really they said they would get over it, but the fans and to some degree the FO never has, until Haslam bought the team and he's a fucking sneak thief.

>and to some degree the FO never has, until Haslam bought the team

what? the owner of the team when they restarted the franchise was Al Lerner. The Modell deal with Baltimore was inked on Lerner's private jet

>born in seattle
>move to cleveland

JUST

>>64637215
Yeah, I meant the FO staff and coaches, not the owners, I don't consider them FO, I just consider them overly-rich assholes that enjoy the fact they get richer w/ ants watching mandingos crush eachother on a field for a meaningless game and a shiny diamond ring.

>>64636643
Ever since they fired the guy they're named after

To be a meme team you have to be at least somewhat successful. The word you're looking for is "joke".

Cleveland is a joke of a team.

>>64636643
Since their team was named after literally (literally) a pile of human feces.

Hey newfag, describe what a 'meme team' is first before asking if something is one.

Everyone knows the jags are the NFLs main meme team. Faggot

>>64636830
The Browns would have gotten their ass kicked in the 88 owl instead of the Broncos. That game really wouldn't have made a difference.

Browns are not a meme, they're just filtered and bottled sadness but with a generic "Great Value" brand logo on the side

My dad was at "the drive" game. I'd probably say since then

>>64642944
Does this mean the Jags are Aldi-brand bottled sadness?

>>64636643
Yeah this is the ultimate meme team

>>64636643
They need to change that awful logo.
Maybe then they will stop that era of mediocrity

>>64642978
Yes, or if you prefer Kroger.

>>64636643
They were actually a historically successful franchise until Elway slapped the shit out of them in three straight playoff games. Their shit streak is really only the New Browns and Belicheck's time there. They were upper class until then.

Paul Brown, The guy who coached the first cincy and Cleveland teams and has the Bengals stadium named after him as well as the first team he coached.

>>64646570
Could have done a lot better than the browns tho... like just accepted they are team shit and went with his favourite animal or something

>>64646595
He was co-founder so they named it after him, kinda like the Packers being named after the company that founded them. The Bengals where named after the 30's team of the same name, so he didn't even do it then.

Also I reiterate, they were a great team from 45-90, they just haven't been able to do shit since most of /sp/ was born.
