After enduring a 1-15 season, Browns fans have little to be excited about as the Super Bowl hype reaches a feverish pitch.
Adding insult to injury, the Patriots are once again in the big game on Sunday with that certain coach whose monosyllabic answers were a trademark of his so-so four-year run as the Brown’s coach in the 1990s — although his 36–44 record here sounds pretty darn good just about now.
The Belichick era ended with the team’s move to Baltimore and the rest is, well, history.
The reincarnated Browns have struggled to be competitive, so fans have to travel pretty far back in the team’s history to find a time when they were the team to beat.
