Unless they have their AARP cards, ardent followers of a certain team in Ohio probably don’t remember the words “Cleveland Browns fan” without the words “long-suffering” in front of them.
The Browns haven’t won a division title in 30 years. They haven’t been to the playoffs since 2002. They haven’t won a playoff game since 1994.
In 1995, owner Art Modell even absconded with the franchise to Baltimore.
Now, everyone wants on the bandwagon. The arrival of Odell Beckham Jr. to pair with 2018 No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield has Clevelanders positively giddy.
