    Don't forget the fact that they once donned Orange and Brown.

    Don't forget the fact that they didn't always call Baltimore home.

    And don't forget that they once had the greatest fans in the game.

    My point? IF not for the decisive victory of the arena issue this past November, the former Cleveland Browns could very well have found company in a certain pro-basketball team, that might have been known for being formerly of Houston.

    Just picture, if you will, your favorite Houston Rockets team celebrating an NBA Championship wearing completely different jerseys and a totally different name, for another town.

    Your team. Your title. Taken by thievery.

    You think that isn't painful? Just ask Cleveland fans.

    Thanks a million, Art Modell

    it's not like the Rockets started out in Houston either. We stole them from San Diego.

    Get over it East. You got another team to replace the one that left. But I understand your feelings. I absolutely despise the Titans, and would be pissed if they won a Super Bowl. But, after the Texans start playing, I won't even be thinking about the Tenessee Traitors, unless they are playing the Texans.

    But they beat the Giants.......that has to count for something!

    Plus, my boy plays for the Ravens! I had to pull for them by default.

    Yes, I'd have to agree with TEX when I say get over it. That's the way things go. Move on.
