WELCOME TO LOSERVILLE, CLEVELAND

by Brian P. Foley, The College Baseball Blog

Since ESPN decided to do Titletown, Epic Carnival will be doing their own countdown looking at the worst cities in Sports. The first city we check out is Cleveland Ohio which is home to the Browns, Indians, and the Cavaliers.

The last championship by a Cleveland sports team was in 1964 by the Browns when they defeated the Baltimore Colts 27-0 in the NFL Championship game.

They even lost the team for three season when Art Moddell packed up the team and moved them to Baltimore. The NFL decided to award the city another franchise which started playing in Cleveland in 1999 at the new stadium that was built where Municipal stadium stood. The Browns since coming back in the league have not appeared in the playoffs barely missing out of the playoffs in 2007 as they lost some tiebreakers.

You should be careful of your facts when you plan to call someone a loser, or you may just fit the description yourself.

The Browns made the playoff in 2002. As the saying goes, you can look it up!

Also, the great fans of Cleveland managed to force the NFL to make the city whole again after the team was ripped from the city. Didn't happen in laid back L.A. - the second-largest city in the country but a city without a team in what clearly has become the country's most popular sport.

Also, you need to brush up on your grammar and writing skills, or at least get a copy editor.
