As I have seen with Cleveland sports in the big ones, while the team is good, it sure does seem like a team that cannot play under pressure. Sure, you have seen good teams - but never great. The only way to become great would be to win it all. They have way too many wrinkles on the Browns in order to be successful. The same can be said for the Indians and the Cavs. Right now things are just going to be getting started so we do not know if they can break through and win a championship. Currently, there hasn’t been a major sports title since 1964 though if you wish to get technical, the drought ended in 1994!
A small team that very few has ever really talked about would be the Cleveland Crunch, whom became the second Cleveland Force franchise and won three championships in the NPSL in the following years: 1994, 1996, and 1999. Earlier this year another small team that very few ever talk about, the Cleveland City Stars of the USL Second Division won the league title therefore showing that not all Cleveland teams will fold under pressure. When I saw that happen, I was stunned and was thinking how did I miss that and I’m usually on top of things Cleveland sports wise.
The Cleveland Indians have to rebound for 2009 because honestly it is getting tiresome seeing this team come up short every single year hearing the same old cliché of “there’s always next year.” It gets to a point where you want to mute it out but you cannot. There is also the option of saying it isn’t very creative and it isn’t.
Cleveland has to do something about the Browns and their injuries problem. I swear this team has to be one of the most injury-riddled franchises I have ever seen. I am not kidding when I say this. I hope it can be fixed and they can become not only a healthy team but a team that can actually get to the Super Bowl along with winning it.
