Today marks an unwanted anniversary:

50 YEARS since any of Cleveland's three sports teams won a championship.

That's 150 combined seasons with BUPKIS to show for it.

No three-sport city has that long of a drought (San Diego doesn't count since they were only a three-sport city from 1978 to 1984).

Only three teams have even reached the Championship match in their sport (1995 and 1997 Indians, 2007 Cavs) and have either bombed spectacularly or snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in all of them.

And Crunch fans, NO one gave a shit then or now, sorry.

Cavaliers had the best shot at it this season, but center Anderson Varejao is out for the year with a ruptured left Achilles.

The Tribe? Small-market approach can't consistently beat clubs that spend 2 to 2 1/2 times more on team payroll.

Browns ... still a leaderless mess.
