Who do you hate more?

It used to be Pittsburgh, hands down for me - but now I can't stand baltimore even more. At least I can respect Cowher, Billick just strikes me as a smug little $#@%!

What shifted it for me is a couple things: when the Browns were stolen form us Pittsburgh was the city that was most vocal in their anger and supprt for us (besides Cleveland) they used to bus Browns fans to games at 3 Rivers and wear Browns Colors.
Even though I hate Steelers fans now, I appreicate their support.

I hate the Ravens, b/c that type of team: Outstanding ferocious D with a powerful elite running game is the kind of team Cleveland fans salivate over. Ray Lewis, Ed Reed (who Butch passed on for Willie Green) and Jamal Lewis would be worshipped in Cleveland for their play on the fiel d, but in the Lewis' case, scorned for their off-the-field transgressions.

That being said, Ravens fans are classless in that they relish in our misfortune, never once have I heard a Ravens fan say, "you guys got screwed, and we profitted immensly, that sucks" They are a bunch on the same level as Carlos Boozer, not all, but most.

They root for low lifes, criminlas, murderers and drug dealers, and wear ugly purple boy-band-meets-flava-flave fatigues to home games. No offense, though.

I used to dislike the Steelers most as well and can still get into it during Steeler week. However since I now live in Cincinnati and of course everyone knows the Baltimore issue, I tend to hate those teams more now. Both of them tend to have pretty obnoxious fans especially if their team is halfway decent. The trolls that visit on Cleveland.com are enough for me to hate these teams with a passion.

I'm a Browns fan. It's in my blood to root against the Squeelers. But now-a-days, if I had to pick one; the Ratbirds all the way.

The problem right now with rooting against the Steelers is that I really like some of them. Not that much....

Not like old. But the Ratbirds we like to dislike.

I respect the front office of Baltimore. Remember, Savage was a Ratbird.

That being said, I love to hate the Pukesburg Squeelers. The Ravens might be annoying, but there isn't as much history in it.
That, and I hate the Steeler fans at my school. I want to snap their necks.

How about all of them... I hate all those teams with a passion... I hate the players, I hate the uniforms, I hate the coaches (unless they come here to help us of course)... bottom line is, I hate them all... GO BROWNS!!!

well hey i may be the miniority of the ravens fans who do feel bad for taking the team. i know some browns fans and i know they are some of the most passionate fans in the league. it would be a shame to have cleveland without a franchise. that being said i still am a ravens fan, so you can hate me for that.

I still have that SI, it has Model punching a Browns fan in the belly on the cover, right?
That Montgomery-Burns-bastard! Man, if I ever saw him on street somewhere . . . . . but at least now we are rid of him and we have Savage.

They better bury Model face down with a raincoat on (insert your own pee joke here).
