Losing 31 out of 32 times can be traumatic to even the most die hard football fans — which describes anyone who has loved the Cleveland Browns.

It’s also psychologically unhealthy having to repeatedly explain to groups of doubters that the Browns haven’t even started year three of their four-year rebuild and that someone entirely different will be picking their players from now on.
