a bunch of numbers Posted April 8, 2022 Share #2 Posted April 8, 2022 The Browns have won four NFL championships (1950, 1954–55, 1964) and four All-America Football Conference (AAFC) championships (1946–49) Their first season was 1946. Before that they were the Cleveland Rams, now the LA Rams. They were first organized in 1936. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Rick and a bunch of numbers says, The Browns were once the Patriots, essentially. Widely considered one of the best teams for a long, long time. This was before the days of the superbowl, though, so they have some catching up to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were jealous of the World Series, and baseball, as the predominate American sports interest. Real sports fans do not watch the Stupid Bowl, nor do they care about its outcome.

Page Turner Posted April 8, 2022 Share #15 Posted April 8, 2022 Dozens of wrestlers sue WWE over CTE, effects of traumatic brain injuries ...pro wrestling makes more sense than football, because they don't wear helmets or pads. The crowd is pretty down with the idea that the participants are trying to damage one another. Not some fictional ambition to run or pass some stupidly shaped oblong "ball" (they can't even get the shape of the ball right in football,) into some poorly defined territory like "the End Zone." I mean, what's with all that end zone business on the calls and the instant replays anyway ? "There's a time out, while the referees are reviewing the game films to decide whether the receiver had control of the ball before his foot left the end zone. " Jesus Christ either you caught the fucking thing with your feet inbounds or you didn't, you pussies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, hell no, professional wrestling is just stupid, football is an actual sport with real strategy and outcomes that are decided during the game by the participants, not beforehand by some stupid writer or somesuch. I don't gaf about CTE in sport, really. Part of the cost of making millions of dollars per year and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG, are you trying to trigger me? The ball is the ball, and the end zone is defined, they even paint the field so that everyone sees that they are on the ends of the field, rather than in the middle or randomly placed. Have you never been exposed to this? Speaking of doing damage, I still can't figure out why professional hockey has fights all the time. Helmets off, gloves off, refs standing nearby holding their dicks whilst they beat the hell out of each other. Somebody has to sit in a penalty box until the next fight is all I see happening. I wonder why that is allowed to be part of hockey still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love football but have a hard time reconciling this. We all love a big hit but hate to see anyone get hurt.

In football, CTE is pretty much an accepted fact of life. To watch it, as a fan, and to pretend that, somehow, you hate to see anyone get hurt, is just some sort of fantasy. I'm sure you do hate to see anyone get hurt, but 85% of those guys you are watching on TV are going to end up with some degree of CTE. And I'd love to think that games are not rigged any more, but with all the money that gets bet on the spread, that's a hard pass. In pro wrestling, everyone is pretty sure both the outcomes and the moves are scripted. So the fans watch, again with the conviction (on the part of most of them), that it's kind of like cartoon violence. So the coyote will always come back undamaged in the next installment. This also is not true. Wrestling at that level does produce a lot of concussions. I simply am making the point that pro wrestling probably makes more sense, because nobody is betting on the outcomes, and they do everything without pads or helmets. I don't watch much in the way of sports, not even bicycle racing, which seems dumb to me as a spectator sport. I have attended some college basketball games, which makes more sense to me. That's what we played in the city playgrounds where I grew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably watch more Olympics coverage if they better covered sports like Judo, where Americans don't always medal. Sailing is stupid to watch on TV. Sailing is great to watch from a boat out in the spectator crowd on the Bay. I think I need more personal involvement to be interested, and I don't need another concussion.

Funny thing about the ball, football is one of the few sports where the ball is not round. You know what that means? It's not predictable, it's going to take funny bounces. Unlike basketball, when the ball hits the floor you pretty much know which way it's going to go when it comes off the floor. So, the ball in American football has a better chance of effecting the outcome of the game than a round ball would in a sport like basketball or soccer. Hockey is another sport where the ball/puck can be unpredictable. It's all part of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
