It's hard to believe the Browns were once one of the premier teams in the NFL, even if they didn't win a Superbowl Think about how long the Browns have been just god awful... their franchise record didn't drop below .500 until late last season

I think it's fine for the sidelines (the stubhub center has sidelines in soccer configuration that aren't counted in field size), but lengthwise looks cramped  the soccer net is where the goalpost would be

Yeah but that's almost two decades now Two decades of being complete trash and they just now dropped below .500, that's how good they had been and it's hard to picture that if you're under like 40 or so

Intruder posted:Yeah but that's almost two decades now Yeah I think we were kind of talking past each other. I was agreeing, for the bulk of their history they were a good team, but the expansion Browns is mostly what most of us know. Modell should burn in hell not for taking a team that was going to win Super Bowls from Cleveland, but for sticking them with this mess instead.
