I don't think anyone thought anything of the Browns coming into this season, or anything of Cleveland sports at all. Cleveland was more or less drained of star power after LeBron left, and the entire city was doomed right? Wrong. The Browns have since pulled off huge upsets against the Saints and Patriots, and took the Jets to overtime only to lose in the last minute. On top of that, Peyton Hillis has stepped up and been a huge player for the Browns this season. I think this had to have happened at some point. It's next to impossible for a city with three professional sports to all lose that badly. The Indians were downright miserable in baseball, and the Cavs just lost LeBron in basketball. It can't be all bad. All the years the other Bay Area sports teams were bad, the Sharks were solid. The same can be said for Houston. The Rockets have been more or less constant, making the playoffs and not making the playoffs almost consistently, but the Astros have turned bad to make way for the Texans.
