John Sutter is a longtime Ohio native and longtime resident of Columbus , Ohio .
He says following a truly awful team was more intellectually stimulating than following a predictably brilliant team.
Sutter: Watching Tom Brady 's prime prime was like watching a “how-to-be” video in quarterback quarterback video.
The Browns are just “weird”—and fun to watch for it.
I love the Browns win or lose, especially lose. I would argue it reflects a deep and true fandom all the same. Perhaps the nihilistic pleasure I take in this mayhem is a reflection of the inorganic means by which I became a Browns fan.
