View Full Version : 50 years...0 championships...140+ attempts...and more curses!
MrCleveland 09-27-2014, 07:08 PM The Cleveland Idiots are out of the playoffs...this concludes the 50 years our city has lost...It's not like Buffalo where they had 4 attempts and no Vince Lombardi Trophy...we're more like a Greek/Shakesperian Tragedy every ****ing season!
When someone tells me "there's always next year"...I wanna say this...
O3F4GmbHl5g
We can't even win in Arena Football! I like to say we have "The Curse of Wahoo". There's The (Insert what happened) every single time...even Detroitians can say "At least we're NOT Cleveland"! 50 years of losing and futility...though the Lions had the 2008 season, they still have the Tigers and Red Wings. Chicago has the Cubs, but they also have the Blackhawks...admit it Clevelanders...we're ****ed when it comes to sports.
Take it away Mike Polk...

Our stadiums I like to call Factories of sadness (Okay it came from Mike Polk)...even if the Browns go to the Super Bowl and the Cavs win the title combined...we reached the 50 year watermark! San Diego is the 2nd worst, but when they go to the finals...people will say "huh"? We were in Super Bowl 29, the 1984 World Series, and 1998 World Series? Seattle hasn't won it all 35 years but when the Seahawks won it all earlier this year the 2001 Mariners Season was overlooked! Then there's Kansas City who has a shot with the Royals...but add all the losing seasons each team here has and you get...145!
I always predict that Cleveland will NEVER win another Championship every year and every year I'm right...and I wish I can be wrong with that! Cleveland Sucks and there's NEVER Next Year! Roll-out the Cleveland Jokes again!
I just had to vent!...

MrCleveland 09-28-2014, 08:13 AM Find a cleveland sports board to discuss this, no one gives a sh*t here
There are a few Clevelanders on this site...and I'll be launching a webpage this October. I'm taking classes to launch a webpage...and not only it will have these sports curses, but a thread that has "The Riots", "The Fire", "The Fire 2.0", "The Default", and "The Adopt-a-can"!
It'll be more than just sports on that page!
JackTripper25 09-28-2014, 11:31 AM I'm from northwest ohio, but I'm not a fan of any of the Cleveland teams. I do have a lot of good memories of going to watch the Tribe in old Municipal Stadium. Their 1995 Indians team should have won it all. That was one of the most scary line ups I've ever seen.

I stopped following sports in general because Cleveland Sports have done one too many bad moves. I think the Indians should've had it all in 1997, but I feel that we're just cursed!
If all three of our teams leave or I do...I'll be celebrating! That's why we're the mistake-on-the-lake! And if all three teams win in 2015...I'll be happy, but pigs flying is more accurate!
I'm also making a screenplay about a Clevelander called "Home and Business", a guy who lived in Cleveland's 'burbs, gets a business after WWII, has his children work for him, his son tries to keep the legacy, but it falls apart...almost sounds like "Casino" or "Goodfellas" without the Mafia ties....
isiahthomas 09-30-2014, 03:57 PM LOL@TVFactFan saying nobody cares about Cleveland teams on here hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Cleveland Cavs are gonna be good this season and I can't wait for the season to start. Their first game is against the Knicks on TNT on October 30th. I hate the Cavs uniforms. Those uniforms are ugly LOL. I wish they would go back to the old uniforms they had when Lebron started there.

Well, they say that misery loves company. How's this for company? I give you my favorite sports city in North America, Toronto, home of the following teams:
Toronto Maple Leafs - 0 Stanley Cups since 1967, 0 appearances in the Finals since 1967
Toronto Blue Jays - 1992 and 1993 World Series Champions, 0 playoff games since
Toronto Raptors - Founded 1994 - The only Toronto team I do not cheer for. In their 20 years, they have appeared in the playoffs twice. In both cases, they lost in the first round in Game 7, missing the second round by one shot.
Between 2004 and 2012, 8 straight years, all 3 of these teams failed to appear in even one post-season game.
If this doesn't exactly sound Cleveland-like, it's still too close for my liking and I'm getting sick of it.
Toronto is just across Lake Ontario from Buffalo, and there's a city that comes by their loser reputation honestly. They did make it to the Super Bowl 4 times and lost, yet I believe that it's the way that they lost (being blown out by Dallas one year and losing on Scott Norwood's "wide right" field goal attempt another year) that gives them more infamy than if they had never made it. Plus there's also the way they totally mishandled Doug Flutie that makes me think that they don't ever deserve to win anything ever again.
I also hate Buffalo's other team, the NHL Sabres, even more than the should-have-been-Toronto Bills (but that's another story). Their best chance at a title came in 1999, when they lost to the Dallas Stars on Brett Hull's controversial in-the-crease goal which was ruled as a good goal even though the rule book clearly pointed out that the play was illegal, something that is still a sore point with their sorehead fans to this day. Today, the Sabres are a good bet to finish the upcoming season in first place in the NHL----at the draft table! :lol: I would say it's well-deserved. It couldn't happen to a more miserable city. To me anyway, Cleveland actually looks good by comparison.
isiahthomas 09-30-2014, 05:10 PM I live in Maryland and Washington DC teams aren't much better. Washington Nationals won their division this year and Baltimore Orioles won their division. I don't watch baseball but it'll be interesting to see what they do in the playoffs. Washington Redskins have sucked for awhile. They finally made the playoffs last season but lost in the wild card game to Seattle and Robert Griffin got hurt. Washington Wizards finally made the playoffs last season and they hadn't been to the playoffs since Gilbert Arenas, Antwan Jamison, Caron Butler were here. Washington Redskins are probably the only team in this area that have won championships because they did win some when Joe Gibbs was the coach. Washington Wizards won a championship in the 70's when they were called the Bullets and they had Wes Unseld. I think they won one in 1978. Wes Unseld was the Bullets coach for awhile in the 80's when they had Bernard King and Jeff Malone.
isiahthomas 09-30-2014, 05:11 PM Baltimore Ravens won 2 championships and the last one they won was in 2013 which was the last year Ray Lewis played.

There's something that may be called "The Buffalo Curse". Here's the webpage....

I also think about what Linus van Pelt said in "A Boy Named Charlie Brown"..."You learn a lot from losing than you do from winning"...then why isn't my city full of Einsteins? Did we get the young Einstein who didn't do well in math?

I'm a Bills fan. That was pretty painful to read. Lol...
To Isiah Thomas: (a name that lives in infamy among NBA fans in Toronto):
There's a good chance that you might see a Baltimore/Washington World Series which would personally eliminate any bad luck or evil forces that had been plaguing that area's sports teams in the last few years. However, the Redskins still stink, and, as a Dallas Cowboys fan, that pleases me deeply.
To Mr Cleveland:
I have read the Buffalo Curse link and you'll never guess who they're blaming for the Curse itself. That's right, Cleveland!

tiredmike59 10-04-2014, 01:03 PM Winning isn't everything.
The St.Louis Rams had the most explosive and exciting offense that ever walked on to a football field 14 years ago, everyone talked about them, every offensive player wanted to play for the Rams. They won one Superbowl and damn near won another then became a laughing stock and now are threatening to move to Los Angeles.
I just read somewhere that the St.Louis Cardinals fans are the most hated sports fans in the country. This does not surprise me, people hate a constant winner and seeing that sea of red in the stands every October would have to be pretty tiring to outsiders. This is a baseball town and the folks here do go overboard, statues out front, naming bridges after ball players, naming streets after ball players and then changing the name when they find out the player used steroids. Now this year, not only do the Cardinals have another shot at the World Series but also the Royals. I bet most of the National media would much rather be covering events in Ferguson.
The Blues have never won a Stanley Cup but made it to the finals the first 2 years of their existence, mainly because of their two Hall of Fame goalies. They almost moved to Canada but we managed to hang on to them.
We have had pro basketball in this town but the teams never made any money so whatever basketball fans there are have to settle for the college teams.
Cleveland is due to win something one of these days.
isiahthomas 10-05-2014, 09:38 AM Sal, I don't think the Washington Nationals are going to the world series because they're losing 2-0 to San Francisco and I think San Francisco is gonna win the series. Washington had a chance to win last night when they were up 1-0 in the 9th inning but the Nationals dumb ass manager took his pitcher who was having a good game outta the game and put in a closer and he lost the game. It's possible Baltimore could go to the world series. Tiredmike59, I don't remember St Louis having a NBA basketball team. You're right that winning isn't everything but unfortunately winning is the only thing most people care about and if you aren't winning often, people will call you losers.

These were our pro basketball teams;
ST.LOUIS HAWKS (NBA) 1955-1968 won championship in 1958
SPIRITS OF ST.LOUIS (ABA) 1974-1976 notable players, Moses Malone,Maurice Lucas,Marvin Barnes. The team merged into the NBA

Yep...I've read that page more than once...Buffalo can't admit their defeat!
It's just time that Cleveland has their own curse, hence it should be called "The Curse of Wahoo"...

Then there's also the Bobby Layne Curse....

To think...Plum went to the Lions and humiliated himself...if he stayed with the Browns, he'd take the Browns to the Super Bowl rather than let them rot in the cellar!

True...And Missouri deserves an NBA Franchise...I think Kansas City should have a team, maybe have the Kings return there. There's been rumors that St. Louis may go to L.A., but I think Jacksonville should go to L.A.
For Cleveland Sports...I think of the film "A Boy Named Charlie Brown"...
Linus: Winning Isn't Everything
Charlie: But Losing Isn't Anything!
Linus: You know, Charlie Brown, they say we learn more from losing than from winning.
Charlie: Then that must make me the smartest person in the world.
Well...why the **** isn't Cleveland the smartest city in the world?! Did we get Young Einstein rather than the older one (Einstein struggled in school when he was young)....
MrCleveland 12-22-2014, 12:53 PM This Saturday is the 50th year of our last Championship...and will be the last!...
And here's the results of all 4 teams that we have who tried since 1964...
Indians-50 attempts (plus 16 more since 1948)
Browns-47 attempts
Cavs-44 attempts
Barons-2 attempts
Total...143 attempts...the WORST deficit in sports! If we had one team that lost all those years, it would be 1871!
They tell me wait 'till next year...face it...there's NO next year!
isiahthomas 12-22-2014, 02:14 PM Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Cleveland Cavs are the only team I have faith in that might win a championship before Lebron retires.
MrCleveland 02-03-2015, 03:40 PM I had this song stuck in my head...
WqukWXviyew
And I made a parody about Cleveland in the last 50 years...
"50 Years of Futility"...
1-A Long Long Time Ago...
Some of us remember when our sports teams made us smile.
It was 1964, remember what we did before
And it seems like a good memory for awhile...
One January made us shiver, which gave us all a quiver...
Bad News on the doorstep, the Dawg Pound has just left.
And I can't remember if I cried when the wrong team won the prize!
It just got all of us deep inside...50 years of futility!
Chorus-So Oh My Mistake-on-the-Lake Guy
Took the Rapid like a rabbit with all the 9 to 5's
And we all went out to get drunk and/or high
Saying we'll win once we all die...
We'll win once we all die...
2-Did you see the river in flames?
And we have dimes for the beer game.
Please don't let Rocky go...
Do you believe in the curse?
And can we get any worse?
Well...the boy mayor hit us a new low!
So I see you hair is set on fire,
Does that make you a big liar?
This city can be cold...why did they let you go?
It was before the Bronco Buck,
Or the dud "Howard the Duck",
But another Johnny knew we are ******...50 years of futility!
Chorus-So Clevelanders sing Oh My Mistake-on-the-Lake Guy
Took the Rapid like a rabbit with all the 9 to 5's
And we all went out to get drunk and/or high
Saying we'll win once we all die...
We'll win once we all die...
3-Now for many years we were a joke,
Talking about how we were weird and broke,
But that's not how we used to be...
Yes, the Baron talked to the Hockey King,
With clothes he got from Rockefeller and Carnegie.
Asking for a Pro Hockey Team...
Well when the Baron was looking down,
The North Star took him out of town!
And that he's gotten merged,
Looks like hockey won't return!
So John Lennon talks to Groucho Marx.
As some remember League Park.
We all rocked even after dark...50 years of futility!
Chorus-So Clevelanders sing Oh My Mistake-on-the-Lake Guy
Took the Rapid like a rabbit with all the 9 to 5's
And we all went out to get drunk and/or high
Saying we'll win once we all die...
We'll win once we all die...
4-Big Mac, Shaq Attack, Cardiac
The Kardiac Kids would bring brown back...
Red-Right 88 went too fast!
It landed at the 2-yard line,
With Johnny Bronco driving fine,
But the OT got the dawgs outlasted...
And next year there'd be something new,
With Bernie getting a touchdown or two.
But it wouldn't last...Ernie lost the ball fast!
In '90 Johnny refused to yield,
Three times and we got sealed!
That's how it's all revealed...50 years of futility!
Chorus-So Clevelanders sing Oh My Mistake-on-the-Lake Guy
Took the Rapid like a rabbit with all the 9 to 5's
And we all went out to get drunk and/or high
Saying we'll win once we all die...
We'll win once we all die...
5-And then the Boys of Summer played,
But the wrong team just got away
With a crown and rebuilding again!
So quote the raven "Nevermore",
As he takes his talents to Baltimore,
Because...money was his only friend.
And as the dawgs foam within rage,
200 years turn the page.
Moses find our Promise Land...
Oh, do they understand?
As the raven's in the Super Bowl light,
We feel that this isn't right!
I see the ghost laugh with delight...50 years of futility!
Chorus-So Clevelanders sing Oh My Mistake-on-the-Lake Guy
Took the Rapid like a rabbit with all the 9 to 5's
And we all went out to get drunk and/or high
Saying we'll win once we all die...
We'll win once we all die...
6-I met the king who once gave us the blues,
Said he'll give us some better news...
He took his basketball and started to play
Then I went to the sports store,
Where I hope we'd win like before...
But the owner said those days are gone away...
And in the streets, the children screamed,
The loveless cried and the poor people dreamed,
But not a word was spoken...
The Clevelanders hearts are broken!
And Johnny that we'd admire the most,
Who didn't play but rather get toast.
Called the doctor to get rid of the host...50 years of futility!
Chorus-So Clevelanders sing...Oh My Mistake-on-the-Lake Guy
Took the Rapid like a rabbit with all the 9 to 5's
And we all went out to get drunk and/or high
Saying we'll win once we all die...
We'll win once we all die...
Clevelanders sing Oh My Mistake-on-the-Lake Guy
Took the Rapid like a rabbit with all the 9 to 5's
And we all went out to get drunk and/or high
Saying we'll win once we all die...
We'll win once we all die...
MrCleveland 06-18-2015, 02:42 PM I'm still mad...why did God ever have me in Cleveland or even have this city exist?
But someone on Facebook told me that It's 51, NOT 50! Get your facts straight...stupid! I sooooo want to do this to him...
4XjApHj0OgI
December 27th would be the next mark and we'll have 51 years of Futility! So...It's now 50 1/2 on June 27th.
The Cleveland Idiots are done for, their 2015 baseball season was like this...
okXhAC78d4Q
And The Frowns...their 2015 season is already over and they didn't even play football!
I'm done with Cleveland Sports! 146 attempts now...Cleveland Sports would now have their last title in 1869!
There's NEVER Next Year!
isiahthomas 07-17-2015, 03:11 PM MrCleveland, just because the Cleveland teams are bad doesn't mean that the city sucks. Don't be talking bad about my hometown because I love Cleveland. I could care less if the Cleveland teams never win a championship.
