The Glade 4.0 :: View topic - What kind of Steelers Fan are you? (Late)

Notoriety: Dawg Pound fans quickly developed a reputation for misbehavior as well as vociferousness. Team officials banned the carrying of dog food into the stadium, as bleacher fans would shower the visiting team with Milk-Bones, along with other objects. Dawg Pound fans also consumed hefty amounts of alcohol, even sneaking a keg into the stadium inside of a doghouse. Eventually, the team lined the Dawg Pound with security personnel and had spies monitor the section from above to look for violations of ground rules. Their reputation was such that other teams' rowdy fans would often be compared to them - in 1989, when a Cincinnati Bengals game was halted by the throwing of debris at the visiting Seattle Seahawks, Bengals coach Sam Wyche addressed the crowd, angrily reminding them that, "You don't live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati!" [2]

On at least one occasion, Dawg Pound rowdiness had a concrete impact on the outcome of a game. In the fourth quarter of a 1989 game against the hated Denver Broncos, the rain of batteries and other debris coming down from the bleachers was endangering the safety of the players. To move the action away from the east end, referee Tom Dooley had the teams switch sides. That put the wind at the Browns' back. The Browns won on a Matt Bahr field goal that barely cleared the crossbar.[3]

At the final game at Cleveland Stadium in December 1995, members of the Dawg Pound ripped the bleachers from the stands (many having brought wrenches, crowbars, and other tools to dislodge the seats). Some fans threw the seats onto the field, while others took them home as souvenirs.

"Here We Go, Brownies, Here We Go!", followed by "Woof! Woof!" is the most common chant heard in the Pound, especially on drives (either offensive or defensive) going towards that end of the field.

People just don't get sports rivalries any more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browns%E2% ... rs_rivalry Since the two teams are so geographically close there is a lot of spill-over across both sides of the border. In the past these used to result in fist-fights and a rain of "debris" on opposing teams and their fans: Quote: Notoriety: Dawg Pound fans quickly developed a reputation for misbehavior as well as vociferousness.

However, since the Browns were returned to Cleveland our team has been so abyssmal that the rivalry has become one-sided to the point that Steelers' fans are more likely to pity and commiserate with Browns fans. Every once in a while we are able to bark back toothlessly and therefore naturally pounce on every opportunity to do so. Sadly I fear the days of frothing at the mouth rivalry (on both sides) are dead and gone.

Guy across the street is a Steelers fan, but I think he's kind of a wimpy one. He took his Steelers flag down this morning, only hours after the Superbowl.* If the Packers had lost, sure I'd be torn up over it, but I mean they won the championship and still made it to the Superbowl, which is more than a lot of people can say this year. Wave that banner with pride, man! *EDIT: May or may not have anything to do with a dozen screaming Packer fans running around in the streets with air horns and bells, plus two blaring car alarms.

I laughed True story: When he who shall not be named (okay fine, Art Modell) moved the Browns to Baltimore, I had a day of mourning. Not for any love of the Browns, screw them. But because not having a Steelers-Browns rivalry is an abomination unto man. Later, I saw a Browns football in the bottom of one of those little "pump a quarter into it and use the claw to grab a toy from the pile" machines you see at some stores. I don't know why the urge struck me, but I dumped about ten bucks into the thing, and gave away to kids every toy I had to get through to get down to the Browns ball. I hung that ball on my rearview mirror, and left it there until the Browns had a franchise again. Then I burned it

A Browns fan liked to amuse himself by scaring every Steelers fan he saw strutting down the street in an obnoxious Yellow and Black shirt. He would swerve his van as if to hit them, then swerve back just missing them. One day while driving along, he saw a priest. He thought he would do a good deed, so he pulled over and asked the priest, 'Where are you going, Father?' 'I'm going to give Mass at St. Francis church, about two miles down the road,' replied the priest. 'Climb in, Father. I'll give you a lift!' The priest climbed into the passenger seat, and they continued down the road. Suddenly, the driver saw a Steelers fan walking down the road, and he instinctively swerved as if to hit him. But, as usual, he swerved back onto the road just in time. Even though he was certain that he had missed the guy, he still heard a loud THUD. Not knowing where the noise came from, he glanced in his mirrors but still didn't see anything. He then remembered the priest, and he turned to the priest and said, 'Sorry Father, I almost hit that Steelers fan.' 'That's OK,' replied the priest 'I got him with the door.'

There are actually quite a few Steelers fans here where I live, despite being closer to Philadelphia than Pittsburgh. What I don't know is how much of that is bandwagoneering from the Steel Curtain era, but it definitely precedes the latest era of Steelers dominance. It's certainly not as strong here as it was when I lived in western PA, though... :p I almost felt a little nervous and uncomfortable that I might be outed as someone who wasn't really a fan of any team when I lived there!

At a custody hearing, a judge was taking testimony from the little boy whose parents recently divorced. The judge asked him if he’d like to live with his mom. He said, “No, she beats me.” The judge said, “OK, how about your dad ?” “No,” the little boy replied. “He beats me too.” “Any of your grandparents ?” “No, they beat me too.” The judge was perplexed. “Then who would you like to live with ?” The little boy said, “I’d like to live with the Cleveland Browns, because they don’t beat anybody.”

One night, after watching the game together at the bar, a Bengals fan, a Browns fan, and a Steelers fan are walking home together. All of a sudden, they are accosted by a drunk woman who is totally in the nude. She passes out on her back. At this point, to be good citizens, they use their hats to cover her up, the Bengals and Browns fans putting theirs hats over each of her breasts, and the Steelers fan over her vagina. They call the police to notify them of the incident and the stay with her to make sure she stays safe. When the policeman comes he brings out a towel to cover her in, and he begins to remove the hats one by one, first the Bengals, then the Browns, then the Steelers. After the Steelers hat is removed, he pauses and looks confused. "Officer, what's the matter?" the Steelers fan asks. "Nothing, it's just that usually you find an ******* under a Steelers hat."

I am hoping we turn this ship around and make it a proper rivalry again soon.

Listed in Urban Dictionary as worst team in the NFL cleveland browns NFL team who is continuiously losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers. As hard as they practice and train they just can't win. They've never won a superbowl, unlike their better rivals, The Steelers, who have won five. They have no key players and often have trouble completing just one pass. "Those Cleveland Browns got thier *** beat by the Pittsburgh Steelers last week!"

If we are going all UD on this... 10. 1. Credited for having the shittiest performance in a Superbowl since the Oakland Raiders got the ** beat out of them by the Bucs. 2. Act of winning a Superbowl because the Refs thought it would be nice to let Jerome Bettis retire with a Superbowl win, ** over the Seattle Seahawks. Still a Steelers fan, but we didn't deserve that Superbowl win. 12. 1: Team that isn't good at all they're all luck and their QB sucks. 2: Wish they were the BROWNS 3: The largest group of organized homosexuals in the NFL. 4: Another word for AIDS That **** gave me the steelers*

The Cleveland Browns are reportedly looking for a coach who will "lead them to a championship". In other words, they are looking for a man with magical powers.

Cleveland's New QB Colt McCoy cut his foot last week. If it had been his wrist, the city would have welcomed him as a true Browns fan.
