Cleveland Sportscaster Finding Out The Browns Trade For AJ McCarron Fell Through On Live TV Is About What You Would Expect
Ahhhhh yes, the look of the toxic cocktail of shock and utter dejection as your franchise fucks up yet again and proves the place you thought was rock bottom mere minutes ago wasn’t actually rock bottom. Throw in a little bit of laughter that your body produces as a defense mechanism so you don’t start crying or try to hurt yourself as the rest of the world jumps on Twitter to fire off those LOLBrowns jokes and you have a typical life in the day of a Browns fan. I’ve been so beaten down by the Knicks sucking so much over the years, that a story of them fucking up yet again doesn’t even faze me any more. But not Browns fans. They still get surprised about it like they are Drew Barrymore in 50 First Dates and simply forgot about the last 50+ years of the franchise. After every heartbreaking season, the pick themselves up, dust themselves off, add another few names to the Browns Quarterback Jersey, and go about their way on how the franchise will be fixed. The NFL can hurt them, but cannot kill them. They are Wolverine without the adamantium. Able to process the five stages of grief in the blink of an eye and somehow keep themselves invested enough in a team that is the gold standard of heartbreak.
It’s why this snippet remains true to Cleveland all these years later. The first three seconds are how every fan base would feel after decades of losing. The last three seconds are what make Browns fans special.
Also let me just say that while I am the furthest thing from a fashion aficionado here at Barstool, that suit and pocket square or whatever it’s called combo pulls off the brown and orange color scheme perfectly.
