Cleveland Cannot Field A Winning Team Anymore
Let’s face it: if you are a sports fan in Cleveland you know nothing but pain. You know it’s bad when your city is on the wrong side of almost every major sports “The” in the last fifty years. Remember “The Drive” when Elway led his Broncos to the Super Bowl on the games final drive? The Browns were on the tail end of that. And of course the less talk of “The Decision” the better. The fact is, everyone who talks about Cleveland being a sports town that is cursed, well, they may have a point. A city that last won a championship in 1964 when the Browns won an NFL Championship knows a few things about losing. Remember 1997 when the Indians lost in seven games to the freaking Florida Marlins. What the heck?
The question needs to be asked can Cleveland ever field a winning team again? The answer is yes. Despite their losing ways the Browns are going in the right direction with Holmgren as GM and a new look coaching staff on the way. The Indians are in a rebuilding stage, and with a few years of growing pains may grow into a contender. And for the Cavaliers? Well, consider this the ultimate rebuilding year. Buy like the pain that comes after ripping off a bandage, it will eventually go away and lead to better times. You may be cursed Cleveland, but better times are coming.
