Dear Beantown Losers,

We know you're anal, neurotic, pessimistic & stubborn. We know you think the Kennedy's are misunderstood and just hearing the words "New York" makes you angry. Please know we feel badly for you. Really.

You still can't bear to watch highlights from game 6 of the 1986 World Series. That Series saw an historic battle between the Mets and Sox. It helped to spread the legend of the Curse. It was in Game 6 the error by Bill Buckner allowed the Mets to win. It must be had to remember and why you drink so much licka.

So as Tribe fans fly into Low Gin, grab the rental khakis and drive past Have Id, please say “How Ah Ya?” We won’t be a wicked boah. We won’t ask you about the Tea Potty or if you have change for Foddy Doll Us. Ohioans are gracious. We’re not from St. Louis with its Otch. We are the Rock and Roll City. We are The City of Champions.

Sure we’ll eat your Lobsta, budded con and maybe even some Pete Sir while sittin’ in the Bah. But this is battle and we will win. That claim might seem Awed to you but it’s not. I’m off to the Ba Ba for a trim. I won’t miss any action though. His radio has a great Ann Tenor. Besides, I gotta look good while we win the Amercan League Championship Trophy.

 Indians Fever!!! Be a Believer!!!

HEy gang,
I’m coming clean. I have a Denver Broncos hat and I wear it. If I’m going to be perfectly honest, I actually like wearing it. Now, before you get completely crazy with me, I got the hat during the AFC championships last year. The Browns were out. I refuse to cheer on the Steelers. I have horses; the hat has a horse on it. You don’t care? Take the hat off? You’re not alone.
Complete strangers, otherwise clam and happy, become crazed loons when they see my hat. In fact, I could wear a complete Pittsburgh outfit and it wouldn’t matter. The Steelers games are a fun rivalry, year after year. The Broncos crushed out hearts.
You all remember “the Drive” in front of 80,000 rabid Brown’s fans in Cleveland. It’s January 11, 1987. The Browns are a game away from the Super Bowl. In the space of 5-minutes during this AFC Championship Game Broncos quarterback John Elway, Leeds his team 98 yards to tie the game with 37 seconds left in regulation. Denver win the game in overtime with a field goal, 23-20. This weekend won’t be that and we’re gonna get beat again.
So if you see me wearing my Broncos hat, you can stomp and yell, I understand. But know I’m just thinking about riding my horse and hoping someday to turn the tables.
Go Browns, next year!
