What a ballgame!

Colt's Fan: I'm shocked, I'm stunned, I can't believe this happened!

Me (life-time Cleveland sports-fan): Cry me a river!

Colt's Fan: But we have Payton Manning, Edgerin James, and Marvin Harrison!

Me: Uh...we had Brian Sipe and Ozzie Newsome...and red right 88!

Colt's Fan: It's all the kicker's fault!..How could he have missed that FG?

Me: How could Earnest Byner have fumbled on the last drive?

Colt's Fan: Yeah, but we were suppose to win...we had the league's best record.

Me: Yeah, so did Bernie Kosar's team when they lost to the Elway!

Colt's Fan: I don't think we'll ever get to the Super Bowl!

Me: Ditto

Colt's Fan: Our town must be cursed because we can't win in any sport- it always seems like their is one player who ruins it for us!

Me: uh....Michael Jordan pretty much put a dagger in the hearts of Price, Daugherty, Nance, and Ehlo

Colt's Fan: Yeah, well at least we have Nascar (that's for you Brian!)

Me: Yeah, well we have the Crunch who won the indoor soccer championship a number of years ago...whoopee!

Colt's Fan: We need a major league baseball team to root for...

Me: I agree, and I think you should sign Jose Mesa as your closer!

Colt's Fan: Sniffle, sniffle, sniffle

Me: Ha, ha, ha...(hey, this is good therapy for me as I reminisce over the last 30+ years as a Cleveland sports fan....sniffle, sniffle, sniffle...)
