ESPN Names Cleveland Most Tortured Sports City
Published July 13, 2004
As the Cavaliers/Boozer fiasco descends into the shameful, one wonders where it lands among the all-time Cleveland sports nightmares.
ESPN has a forensic examination of the top 10 most tortured moments in Cleveland sports. It is a must read for John Kerry and George Bush if they want to win Ohio, a litany of misery so profound and head spinning that it lands Cleveland at THE TOP OF THE LIST OF TORTURED SPORTS CITIES.
We finally win something. Yay.
A good sign for Kerry...when his wife introduced him in Cleveland, she noted she was from Pittsburgh...which drew an enormous "BOOOOO" from the huge crowd. Kerry tenderly placed his hands on her shoulders, and turned her around toward the Cleveland Browns stadium standing behind her. Nice touch.

Boston has only the Sox to weep over - their other teams have provided an embarrassment of riches. Cleveland has had only freaking soccer as a professional championship in 40 years (the Browns were most recent). And in some ways the "success" of the Indians in the '90s only makes it worse because they didn't win anyting.
The Cavs have never even been in the finals, the Browns have never been to a Super Bowl.
thanks Tim!

Boston 5th in sports torture? No way!
What are a couple Super Bowl Championships and a few dozen NBA titles? The Red Sox fans have suffered enough to take the enjoyment out of all that, and sadly, many are Celts and Patriots fans, too.
