The Bengals And Browns Are In The Saddest Pissing Match In Football, Simply Because Ja'Marr Chase 'Almost' Called Them 'The Elves'

Welcome to week 1! Nothing like waiting all year for the season to start, you draw your rival and it turns into the saddest pissing match yet. It's no secret I'm no fan of either Browns or Bengals fans, they are both quite annoying for teams that typically, you know, suck. But credit to Browns fans because they live through misery. They are for sure more loyal and pack the Muni Lot day in and day out. I've also seen them drink Tina's (RIPIP) in Cincinnati completely out of booze on a Thursday night after a win. So there's a little soft spot there. 

Regardless, here we are. The Browns sneaky have the Bengals number. They just show up and beat the Bengals then stink against a bunch of other teams. I respect the move to beat a rival and then win 6 games. But come on, are we serious here? Ja'Marr Chase wanting to call them The Elves isn't an insult. It's actually a sweet logo. In fact, the Browns should be the Elves. The Cleveland Elves is a sweet name. It's for sure better than the Magic or Thunder or Commanders. I think the logo should be on the helmet too.

There's no way 1) Chase thought this was a true insult, if so, I question if he'll ever be as good as Justin Jefferson. 2) There's no way any Brown is actually pissed off, fans included. 3) The only thing lamer than this pissing match is a Browns fan doing this: 

The single dumbest, lamest thing in Ohio is this. 

Football is here baby. Elves +2.5 is such a stink of a number, you gotta kind of like it.
