YoloinOhio Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) "Believeland" sounds a lot like the Four Falls of Buffalo, but focuses on the failures of the Cleveland professional teams. Though I'm but a real fan of any of the Cleveland teams, I think this will be another great 30 for 30 film. Like buffalo fans with "Four Falls," many Cleveland fans are questioning why they should put themselves through the pain of watching this when they "lived it." Because these films find a way to make you proud of something that never was. Here's a review. http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio/2016/05/70542/believeland-not-another-pity-party Edited June 21, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This Magic Moment" is another, and as a Bills and Magic fan it is getting a little depressing...but still worth watching. I'm actually looking forward to this one; need to revel in someone else's misery for once!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I feel like it would be worse to be a Browns fan than a Bills fan. Yeah, their playoff drought is a few years younger than ours but at least we had the 90s. They have basically sucked since the Reagan years and there's no sign that this will change any time soon. How painful it will be for them if Wentz turns out to be a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) They are through Red Right 88, The Drive, The Fumble and '95 and '97 World Series and the worst has yet to come. Poor Cleveland. I understand. Edited May 15, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand. i don't. their cockswagger attitudes which they still have. the way they walk as world beaters. the way they rub it in everyone that the browns are going to be tough. that hte browns are not scared of the steelers or ravens. that the indians are still one of the most followed teams. etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I can't wait to see the Cavs lose again in the Finals this year. What a bitter b*tch Lebron has become. Jealous of Curry winning the MVP trophy. He's peaked and hopefully he'll never win another Championship again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like that when Lebron went back to the Cavs, but after the sub tweets and coaching drama I'm back to the understanding that he is a dope. I hope Steph sticks that MVP trophy down their throats, if it's OKC no way I can go against Durant/Westbrook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) I thought that we would all be on the same page on this? As a Buffalo sports fan I find it nearly impossible to not route for the Cavs. When LeBron came back it was a certain sort of validation to the rust belt. It sort of put places like us on equal grounds with the Miam's of the world. The people of Cleveland have had many of the same struggles in both sports and the economy. The people have a similar passion and love for where they come from. My sister has been there 20 years and my brother-in-law is born and raised. He's just like us. He can't sit down during the playoffs, he loves his teams and just wants one. They've been blessed with the Buckeyes but if a title ever came to Cleveland it would be one hell of a party. I wish them nothing but the best. Edited May 15, 2016 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I totally would root for Cleveland in any sport, except perhaps football. But just as long as Buffalo wins it all first. Does that make me a bad person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make me a bad person? Nope, but too late Stipe Miocic: I Wanted to End Cleveland Sports Curse at UFC 198 “I wanted to put an end to the curse,” Miocic said at the post-fight press conference, referencing the unfathomable bad fortune Cleveland has had in sports dating back to the Korean War. “I just wanted to go in there and do my job. I didn’t carry the weight of Cleveland on my shoulders but I did want to end the curse.” Miocic, who revealed at the presser that he will remain a fireman in his home city for the foreseeable future, said he isn’t worried about the suspected curse that the UFC’s heavyweight division has been maligned with. Dating back to when Brock Lesnar was the champ, whoever has held the title has been swamped in injuries and inactivity. Miocic scoffed at such a notion. “I train too hard for that to happen,” he said. “I want to keep this belt for a long time. Cleveland has a curse with their sports teams but I will keep this for a while.” Read more at http://www.sherdog.c...EIdmY0bficEA.99 Factory of Sadness Sounds like an Emo band I feel like it would be worse to be a Browns fan than a Bills fan.

How painful it will be for them if Wentz turns out to be a legend. It will be very painful They are through Red Right 88, The Drive, The Fumble and '95 and '97 World Series and the worst has yet to come. Poor Cleveland. I understand. Plus their team left to become the Ravens and have won two superbowls. Could you imagine if the Bills left and did this: I can't wait to see the Cavs lose again in the Finals this year. What a bitter b*tch Lebron has become. Jealous of Curry winning the MVP trophy. He's peaked and hopefully he'll never win another Championship again. I'm not a Lebron fan but hope he wins one for Cleveland but don't care if he wins one. I thought that we would all be on the same page on this?

SF Bills Fan Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I watched this yesterday. You definitely feel much better about Buffalo sports after watching this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Imagine if Ralph Wilson moved the team after continuing to say he wouldn't .. And then that team drafted one of the best players of all time And won the SB a few years later after you went through years of getting close but not winning.. Then Imagine if Tom Brady grew up in say Jamestown, was a total phenom, we drafted him #1 overall, he became one of the best to ever play the sport, we got to the cusp a few times but never won the SB, and then after his rookie deal was up even though he could have made *more money* staying he left to go to Miami (but we didn't find out until he announced on national tv) ... Then he proceeds to win two SBs with Miami while our team is the worst in the league. Edited May 15, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
