You really can not go by this! I hate that no good m*ther f*cker with all that I am and my score to this quiz in no way reflects that. I did not know the answer to half these questions because I do not care enough about this piece of sh*t to know his averages or when we play his team.
Why the dumping on Modell? If you’dl read the real story of why Modell moved the Browns, you’d place the hatred at the feet of former mayor White, and the 3 ex-commissioners Boyle, Petro and Hagan.
Queeniez71: If you aren’t keeping tabs on how bad he is doing, you probably don’t hate him “with all that I am.” Hate involves passion, which involves knowing these sorts of things.
For example, I already have my signs and tickets ready in the basement safe. All I have to do is add the most current stats when the day arrives, and I’m good to go!
My guess is you really still like him and miss him. Thanks for the comments!
Kenrmer: Modell moved the team, enough said. I acknowledge you’re right in saying there were lots of other factors/people/politics that went into the situation and I respect that. But at the end of the day, Art Modell pulled the trigger.
But do you really believe that a man who was innovative enough to hold Pre-Season Doubleheaders, host the first Monday Night Football Game, and sign Jim Brown wasn’t smart enough to find a way to make money off 80,000 seats in Cleveland?
He got a sweet deal from Baltimore, and being the businessman that he was, he took it. And he broke my heart and the heart of everyone else I care deeply about. And so I hate him. And you should too. Unless you’re a Steelers fan… which I’m guessing you are. Thanks for the comments!

Fuck LeBron James, with a sick dick!!!!!
P. Rogie…Nice job of bringing some reality to our hatreds pertaining to sports figures and owners in Cleveland. Hate is a word which seems to get used more and more in America today. Republicans hate democrats, the rich hate the poor (and all of these are two way hate streets); the Christians hate the Muslims and so do the Jews; the whites and blacks still hate each other; the male whites still hate just about everyone equally because everyone hates them also; the educated hate the uneducated and the uneducated hate much of life because they are poor and hated by the rich; Men and women hate their exes; gangs hate other gangs; cities hate other cities as well as their own city; husbands hate wives and wives hate husbands; drug addicts and alcoholics hate life and all of the hate they have directed at them; union workers hate non-union workers and the employed hate the unemployed; friends hate friends often as much as they like them; kids learn to hate others from their adult mentors; California hates Texas and New York hates Alabama; republicans hate the current president of the USA and the Democrats hated the last one; All this while the media stirs the shit. So if we pretty much hate everything and everyone, what do we love? God? Who does God hate? Man? I know I may sound insane and it seems I always do when I ask questions about life, love and hatred. What is our purpose here? To hate a great athlete because he brought us hope and then left us dry? Why do we really hate him? Because we did not win a championship while he was here? Are we that silly with our love and hate ideas? We do not hate anyone more than ourselves and anyone who understands thinking knows that. We need to forgive ourselves before we can stop hating others. Hatred is insane. When we hate someone we want to kill them and make them suffer. Is this what we should be teaching our children?
Assuming that you know nothing about his stats, you can still score 17 points at minimum with the strongest answers. I’d say that’s the level where you want to be at. Even scoring in the Jim Thome level doesn’t necessarily mean you hate L****n any less, it can just mean you’re starting to become apathetic.
Also, the lockout and trying to listen to these prima donas whine about where they want to play turns a lot of people off. Who really cares what these players want or do, to me it’s the equivalent of a clown dancing around and acting like an idiot so you won’t look away and do something else…and that’s all the NBA is to me any more, a bunch of clowns dancing around trying to keep my attention. I’ll watch something else, thanks, wouldn’t want to direct any money your way.
If I ever want to see L****n miss free throws, or throw up brick 3’s from 26 feet, or dribble for 20 seconds before doing something, or choke in the fourth quarter, I can just turn on Sportscenter.
Face it LeBron as a human being is a f##ing dick————who gives a f@#@ about how well he can play basketball!!!—-he is just a peice of sh## waste of human life———–he can play basketball—who gives a sh@@! Michael Jordan was not only 200 billion times better at basketball but most importantly a good human being! If LeDick was a decent guy people wouldn’t hate with such intensity——————–he treats the public like inferior morons………….unfortuantely someone told him he is better then the rest of the world because in 8 feet tall & can dunk a 10 ft basket—-wow!
And he tips like a highschooler….
That is REALLY sad, all that money and he tips $10 on an $800 tab…
Gone and good riddance….
I don’t hate him…I just want him to get a dime of my money because he’s so immature and such a doosh…
Anti Michael Jordan….
and here comes Mike Brown back in the picture. Wonderful.
Mike Brown is a great guy and all, but come on! It’s freaking Mike Brown! The guy whose idea of drawing up a play was “inbound the ball to lebron, dribble out the clock, throw up an off-balance 29 foot jumper….win.”
