		<description>No, not cool.

All I can think of, is God was so displeased with Art Modell&#039;s despicable act, he put a cloud over the Browns.

Or maybe God decided that Baltimore was a more holy place than Cleveland (although both cities are in bad shape), and decided to bless Art with his long-awaited superbowl ring.

The good news is Art got the ring; the bad news, the team would be in Baltimore.

Do the Steelers think of the rivalry between the team and Baltimore, as that of how it was with the Browns before they were moved to Baltimore?

In other words, do the Steelers think of the Ravens as the Browns under a different name --

and the &quot;new&quot; Browns as simply an expansion team?

I still think the Browns should be called, the Cleveland Browns of Baltimore -- and left it at that.

Then, Cleveland&#039;s expansion team, using the new stadium, would be the Cleveland Lerners (as in learning how to play or learner&#039;s permit to play football or learner&#039;s bra ... you get the idea.)

Or in keeping with Coach Paul Brown&#039;s team, the Cleveland Crennels or Cleveland Romeo, the team than likes love, not war. 

I want to root for the right team, but I despise the Ravens so much and of course hate Pee-burgh almost as much.

Can&#039;t wait for the game, Sunday!</description>

		<description>Well of course God is a Steelers fan. First he created Heaven, then Hell, so the Browns would have a place to play too.

Reminds me of a story by the way -- did you know originally NFL Films wanted to call the Steelers &quot;America&#039;s Team&quot; back in the &#039;70s? Yep it&#039;s true. Steve Sabol of NFL Films approached then-owner Art Rooney with the idea to do a documentary on the Steelers called &quot;America&#039;s Team.&quot; To which Mr. Rooney replied something to the effect of: &quot;we&#039;d rather be known as Pittsburgh&#039;s team.&quot;

Any wonder why the Steelers are God&#039;s team?

Pretty cool huh?</description>

		<description>Dear Much Delusional,

Forgive my ignorance, but who is Rusty?

Is that the best you can do, Mr. Pee-burg?

By the way, I am picking Steeles over the blackbirds on Sunday based on the heart (not necessarily the arm) of Big Ben, and the fact that although both teams are so f...ing lucky, the Steelers even more so -- plus, I&#039;ve said it before, I am afraid God is a Pittsburgh fan.

Both defenses are tough and Baltimore is at home, but loud, obnoxious stadiums serve as incentive for the blood-thirsty cannibals that the Steelers are.

That game is a must see!</description>

		<description>Ooh ooh I know the answer! Pick me! Pick me!

The Browns offense has been so bad this year because Rusty picked them to be so good!

That was easy.</description>
