But you know... being completely out of the loop and then wondering why you don't "get" something is fine too.

Agreed. The Browns team history did not and does not accrue to the Ravens' team history, although individual history always accrues to the player. WRT team history the Ravens are treated as an expansion team as the NFL explicitly held out the Browns team history for assignation to the reformed Browns.

Skrying wrote:Probably because of strong ties between hip hop cultural and basketball cultural? That might just be a guess though. Even the (broken link which has a "Did You Mean" on it that directs you right to the article) link mentions a specific version of the song done for the Houston Rockets 1994 championship.
The dialect of a region isn't some indication of stupidity. It's an indication of a general lack of education at absolute most. Even more, getting upset about some catchphrase being used by a fan base that basically pokes fun at their regions dialect is far more annoying than the catchphrase in my opinion.
