unless there's a ghost or curse or something like that ....

Trust me I'm living through one.

get rid of their racist mascot. (Couldn't resist that one Auggie...)

Either incarnation of the team. The Curse of Paul Brown. Nothing since the 50's and then had no luck with the Bungles.



But then again, as my wife says, it's fucking Ohio...

Division VI. Second state championship in three years. They overcame a 13-0 deficit at halftime to win.

Fucking Ohio indeed ...

Presenting the mighty Hornets:

I'm a Cub fan. Don't talk to me about curses!

Your curse is now about 1/4th the length of our curse. Get back to my when you hit a century, Tru.

BTW: you ruffled some feathers in that DI thread yesterday.

The Dark Side is history. Darth Davis is no more.

i'm not saying the raiders didn't come out to play in the second half (and, oh boy, it hurts to say that), but it was just as much a denver loss as it was an oakland win.

i'm still salty about it.

They'll definitely finish way above .500 next year if they keep this up!

angry and drained after their losses, but I didn't feel so bad today even though they got eliminated from contention. I didn't expect them to beat the Packers, but I also didn't expect the game to be as close as it was. In fact, this whole season was arguably a success in spite of the frustrating losses and missing the playoffs again. I'm usually not a fan of saying "we'll get 'em next year", but this team has me excited to see what's in store next year. They doubled their win total from last year, they have a 1K yard receiver and a 3K yard QB, and are just a few defensive pieces (and maybe a new kicker) away from an AFCW title.
It would be a shame to see them move out of town just as they're starting to become decent again. I have optimism that they'll stay, though, seeing as how Mark Davis was the one owner out of him, Spanos, and Kroenke to attend local townhall meetings earlier, and how the NFL floated the idea of helping to pay for a new stadium here.
