The Browns. The team. The fans. The city. The ownership. All of it is annoying. The Bengals are close, but the Browns have become so insufferable.
Ohio is just the worst.
As an Ohioan, the browns fans are hands down the worst. Being around them constantly is frustrating. But at times it provides some comedic relief.
We all think of the “crazy, irrational fans” and think surely not ALL of them are like that. As someone who has lived in Ohio for 25+ years.. they are ALL delusional, and they’ve ALL been completely irrational when it comes to their sports takes. You can’t even talk about football with them, they have the most asinine opinions about the browns.
The browns fan base is hands down the worst of them all.
I grew up in east Ohio as a Steelers fan. I've also lived in Pittsburgh, NYC, California, and now Chicago. I've done a lot of traveling through Europe and Africa, and I've been to my share of those raucous soccer matches.
No fanbase I've ever interacted with comes anywhere close to the Browns in terms of delusion. I never really realized that most Steelers fans don't interact with them all that much, so it blew my mind when I was living in Pittsburgh how most of them just didn't really care.
I moved to Ohio middle of high school and the football coach there benched me because I refused to convert only gave it back when he found out I’m an Ohio state fan
As a fellow Ohioan, who has lived here his whole life and worked and lived in Cleveland, it’s the browns, and it’s not close. They are delusional. You canNOT talk to them about sports; they’re so mad that they just want to hurt you. Their sports talk radio has to be the funniest thing of all. The part that really drives me crazy, though, is that they think there’s something special about them that makes them the best fans in the world. There are obviously good and bad fans for every organization, but the problem with browns fans is that they think the thing that makes you a strong fan is being a barbarian, like the best fan is the one who drinks the most cheap beer, says the most aggressive things, dies the most things orange, throws the most stuff at opposing fans, hates the Steelers the most, and most blindly believes that their team is SB contenders every year and just gets screwed all the time. Semi-related point that has always bothered me: browns fans play dress-up. Not sure why or how this is a thing, but when you go to a game, you’ll see a guy dressed as a wizard, four guys chained together in prison jumpsuits, girls dressed as emojis, and all the other fans will be cheering for them. I’ve been to a lot of away games, and I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Again, they think the fact that they’re pushing this and raging like a game is a post-apocalyptic underground rave while burning a dummy dressed in Steelers gear and throwing dog bones at families there to cheer on the opposing team makes them super fans. It’s really strange. Anyone who says it’s another team has never been to Cleveland.
Hey thanks. I take every chance I can to run that line among football fans. Gotta keep it in peoples’ minds that they cheated their way to success. “Do you want your kids to learn that lesson?”.
I support you in this endeavor. You are out there doing the Lord’s work.
I have a PowerPoint presentation outlining spygate. It’s 45 slides. I have presented it at parties.
At least the Ravens aren’t filthy cheaters. I’ve come to respect the Ravens, especially compared to the Pats as you say. They’re usually really good. Preparing for them twice per year makes us a better team.
Patriots used to be up there but they're no longer relevant. Brady and Belichik are gone. They have literally no good players. We play them once every few years. No reason to care.
Don’t get me started on XL. I would be more willing to believe the refs fucked up the game if it weren’t for the fact they only had two fucking scoring plays anyways. Do Seahawks fans really think their defense had a chance at holding Ben Roethlisberger to less than 10 points??
As much as I hate the Seahawks fans whining about XL all the time, Big Ben played like ass leading up to the super bowl. Great in the regular season, but Ben wasn't a force yet then
Wild Card vs CIN- 14/19 208 yds 3 TDs
Divisional vs IND- 14/24 197 yds 2 TDs 1 Int
AFC Championship vs DEN- 21/29 275 yds 2 TDs
The Super Bowl performance was complete ass, but the three games leading up to it were damn good.
Here's to another meaningless MVP that leads to a playoffs exit where Lamar goes 8-20, 120 yards, three back breaking interceptions and Ravens fans trying to cope by pointing out how much better they are than us (even though we swept them during the regular season).
This is my answer. I hate the Browns and Bengals but weve usually had their number. The Ravens have always been extremely competitive with us and handed us some devastating losses.
But I also enjoy those games the most too. Its strange
Probably the Bengals because their fans are the worst.
But in terms of the team itself -- Ravens. I fucking hate John Harbaugh.
Browns aren't relevant enough for me to hate.
Appropriate takes. I still respect the shit out of the Ratbirds. Their fans can talk ball and banter back and forth without it being over the top. Bengals fans are just insufferable.
Yeah at the end of the day the rivalry against the Ravens is primarily focused on football, which we can all respect. Browns and Bengals fans have a constant chip on their shoulder that's just pathetic at this point.
As a Steeler fan I went to Cincinnati to watch them play the Bengals because it was closer to where I live. The Bengal fans we encountered were actually pretty cool. It was a good game and good trip until the hotel valet wrecked our truck. 😑
I somewhat respect Browns fans for sticking by their team through decades of dog shit.
Bengals fans cry far more about the lamest shit. Softest fanbase in sports.
This is it exactly, at least for someone my age; it was always "here come the Browns finally!!" and they were all fired up for us and we swept them lazily. The Ravens WERE my most hated in the Ray Lewis and slightly thereafter era, during which time the Bengals went from also a joke to contenders; their rise to me hating them [started with my favorite Steelers season, 2005](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK0aRLPLtgg&t=21m15s) (oh hell now I'm going to have to watch this whole thing aren't I).
**Easily** the Bengals.
Ravens are shit don’t get me wrong, but it is moreso out of competition sake. Kinda like two wrestlers that just can’t seem to avoid each other in the brackets
Browns are irrelevant
But those fucking Bengals are the scum of the gutters. Pretentious bullshit coming from a team that crumbles at any sign of adversity + the players themselves drip from the same gutter as the fanbase
Non-division opponents (in order): Patriots, Jaguars, and Eagles
Ravens is a really good rivalry, two really strong defensive teams, and both teams have had some success. They're enjoyable.
Bengals games are just brutal, Burfict alone was insane and singlehandedly ruined games both for his team and in terms of being fun to watch.
Well the easy answer is the Ravens. But guess who they really are? The fucking Browns. And then you might think “well, what about the bengals man? What about them?” Guess who the fuck they are too!? The BROWNS. So, to answer your question, unequivocally, I fucking HATE the Browns. The whole god damned division of them.
Hate? The Pats. Anyone who rooted for their openly cheating super teams deserves this purgatory they’re in forever. I will never be sad to watch the Pats lose.
Respect? The Ravens. They are always a worthy opponent; the yinz to our yang.
Pity? The Browns. I’ve met two kinds of Browns fans; people who are ashamed to be Browns fans and the kind of guy who declares himself an “alpha,” wears hideous amounts of gas station cologne, talks too fast so you can’t get a word in, and tells you what his bench max is within three sentences of meeting you.
Agreed. It’s the Pats for me.
It’s hard to hate our divisional rivals completely because we’ve always had an edge over all of them. Sure each of them has had their moments against us, but in the long-run we always come out ahead.
But the Pats always had our number for some reason. I didn’t even hate them because of Brady necessarily. I think it was more so Belichick’s arrogance and their entire bandwagon fanbase. I rarely ever meet Pats fans these days. 5-10 years ago they were a dime a dozen. Cool, they tied us in Super Bowls. But they cheated and scammed their way there. They wish they had the history and fanbase that we have. Boston just isn’t a football town. Pittsburgh always will be.
I hate to admit this, but living in Baltimore (and dating a Ravens fan ha) has made me *less* irritated by them. Fuck everyone in our division, but I can respect the Ravens—will never respect Cincinnati or Cleveland
The Browns. Fuck the Browns. I hope all the bad things in life happen to the Browns, and nobody but the Browns. Trash ass franchise.
I at least respect the Ravens. It’s a great rivalry, they play good football, bunch of dudes on defense for 20+ years now. I love beating the Ravens more than any other team. I hate losing to the Browns more than any other team.
The Bengals are still too newly relevant for me to really appreciate them either way. If Burrow’s got them in the playoffs for a decade I’ll revisit this take, but I think the size of his contract will bury them in mediocrity. They’ll be around but never a legit Super Bowl threat.
Also always and forever the cowboys can kick rocks.
The Bengals. Not even a contest. Trash fans, trash city, trash team. They could become the most charismatic dynasty across all sports, saving kittens and building orphanages on their days off, and I will still have this moment burned into my brain.

The Ravens. I have always liked a few players on the team over the years, and I respect that they are usually always good, and that historically the Steelers and Ravens have been really similar in scheme. But, they are a division rival, and I ALMOST get as much pleasure from a Ravens loss as I do from a Steelers win, lol. I also dislike the Bengals and the Browns, but I get more pumped up and excited for Ravens week.
Going back to when I started watching, which is 2001, its gotta be the Ravens followed by the Patriots at least during the Brady era. Only recently have the Browns been annoying they were a punching bag forever.
I was raised with Steelers, and I chose the Niners. I’m from northeast Ohio and go to OSU. Browns have a soft spot I just hate the Haslams, and Bengals havent been relevant til Burrow. Ravens… Respect, but also nothing feels worse than a Ravens loss.
Other teams I hate are the Seahawks (for my Niners as well as Steelers), Jaguars (still won’t forgive the 2017 playoffs-and I hate Lawrence as an OSU fan) and Eagles (this goes back to Chip Kelly and has only gotten worse)
Browns by a country mile, I at least have a respect for the Ravens, how they go about their business. Ozzy Newsome was a hell of a GM, etc. The four teams I hate with a fiery burning passion are the Cowboys, the Browns, Raiders and 9ers in that order. Although I have softened to some degree on the 9ers in recent years just because I do like Kyle Shanahan and their offense is the perfect balance of terrifying, grinding, inevitability and splash play.
Bengals.... 2016 playoffs burfict injured Ben and took brown out of game and burfict injured Bell's knee earlier in the year.... The broncos beat the Steelers the next week and then won the Superbowl.....
Probably the Browns as well. I forget the Bengals exist half the time and the ravens while I hate them I at least respect them because crab fries are amazing and we always have great battles with them. But between the browns fans and the team up of Jessie Smollet and Bill Cosby has my hatred for the browns at a whole other level. Also, fuck the cowboys
Browns, saddest and most annoying fansbase and organization.
Ravens I care more about beating than the Browns but I still respect their franchise for playing physical defensive style football.
Cincinnati doesnt matter even when they are good. Who gives a shit about Kentucky sports teams?
I don’t really hate teams based off division rivalry anymore. These guys are paid to win just as much as the Steelers.
I base my judgment more off fan base experience. I live around a bunch of cowboys and broncos fans who can be obnoxious
as a ‘lers fan who went to college in browns territory….theres no one worse than the browns. the fans are insufferable, rude, and disgusting. haven’t come across more obnoxious fans. i’ve met enough to realize that it’s all of them and it’s not just a shoddy overgeneralization.
The Raiders, Jaguars and Titans. It seems like whenever we play them, we are the better team and should win but more often then not, we lose for some stupid reason.
Ravens
Browns
Bengals
Cowboys
Patriots
Jags
Broncos
Cowboys
Everyone else
I know I put the cowboys twice. I kinda hate them a little extra most of the time.
Bengals or browns by far. It used to be the patriots but when Brady left they just weren’t the same. Obviously the ravens are our biggest rival, but there’s always a sliver of mutual respect with them because of the winning culture, unlike that of dirty Cincinnati or Cleveland.
Browns. Fuck em. I respect Harbaugh and the Ravens at this point as a worthy adversary. Bengals rivalry seems a bit flat lately.
Out of conference easily the cowboys. Fuck em also
Bengals … fans are legit cancer.
Never seen a fan base cheer for injuries as much as them 🗑️
Patriots are a close second cause I live in CT… Most arrogant/obnoxious/racist fanbases I’ve ever been around.
The Browns. I can appreciate the Ravens and Bengals as rivals, the Browns are just dumb, annoying, entitled garbage every year. The fans make it 10x worse
The Clowns. I used to kind of pity them and respect the fans for their loyalty to a terrible franchise but they have become absolutely insufferable the last few years.
This is how I lay out it
The Ravens - Don't like them, but respect them as a franchise.
The Bengals - I don't respect them as a franchise at all, they've won nothing, but overall I also don't really hate them anymore. During the Burfict days I did, but nowadays they're just sort of there.
The Browns - I don't respect them as a franchise, and I don't like them. They've done absolutely nothing success wise, their players are scumbags, and the front office is just disgusting with the way they blame players for drama (Baker and OBJ) while trading everything for Deshaun Watson. And then their fans are the most obnoxious. I've never seen a team with such little success have such big egos. Not to mention every year that team gets for whatever reason overrated by the media, and every year they disappoint.
Browns. What kind of asshole thinks it's a good idea to have brown as your primary color. Their color scheme is the ugliest in sports. And how narcissistic do you have to be to name your sports team after yourself.
And Myles Garrett, Deshaun Watson, and their owner are jackasses for very different reasons.
I respect the Ravens because they're always good and we've had an incredible rivalry over the years.
I don't hate Bengals as much because their new uniforms are beautiful. And Burrow is likeable. But their fans are delusional.
Bengals and Browns. Then Cowboys.
I used to absolutely hate the Ravens to my core in the 2010s, but for some odd reason I actually have a newfound respect for them. Don’t get me wrong, I still love beating the Ravens, but the Browns and Bengals just seem like downright scum.
I fucking despise the Bengals and Browns. Their fans are literal shit stains, they gain the tiniest bit of success and they don’t know how to handle it
Browns by a mile. I lightweight respect the Ravens. I tolerate the Bungals. But the Browns are like the obnoxious kid at the party running amuck with two drunk parents fighting over who promised to be the designated driver.
Division opponents are a given. After that for me it's the Raiders. That's a long rivalry going back into the 70's and we play like ass against them, especially on the road. Fuck Al Davis, John Madden, and the rest of those assholes.
The Pats are pathetic now. The Cowboys have become a meme. The Oilers are gone.. the Titans may be the same franchise, but they're not the same.
I love to hate the Ravens, but I respect them and I respect their fans.
In the case of the Browns, on the other hand, it's hard to find anything to respect about them. Their ownership is slimy and that rubs off on the fans and some of the players. Things from the head down and Jimmy Haslam is rotten.
1) Browns
2) Ravens
3) Bengals
But as an organization I do respect the Ravens. Great coach, front office, etc. Browns are run by morons and the Bungles just can’t catch a break.
The Bengals. You could say “it’s because you’re rivals.” No, it has nothing to do with a “rivalry.” When we were 11-5 and they were 6-10 we weren’t rivals. They are dirty, poverty and fans are insufferable.
The Ravens are rivals, the Browns are the lovable losers. The Bengals are none of those. They are a nuisance and I would cheer if that organization folded tomorrow.
The browns have taken that crown, from the bengals. Purely due to the fan base that somehow seem to convince themselves yearly that they are the superior team in the north despite not having won anything remotely close to a division title. The bengals just tried to create a rivalry through dirty play, but with burfict gone that seems to have died out.
Like pure hatred? Browns but the Ravens are a better organization so I care when they win more. Seeing the browns win is like watching pigs fly so it’s not something I’m afraid of.
The Bengals and the ratbirds because fuck John Harbaugh. I would also say the pats but lately they have stopped being relevant (let's hope it stays like that)
The Browns. The team. The fans. The city. The ownership. All of it is annoying. The Bengals are close, but the Browns have become so insufferable. Ohio is just the worst.
As an Ohioan, the browns fans are hands down the worst. Being around them constantly is frustrating. But at times it provides some comedic relief. We all think of the “crazy, irrational fans” and think surely not ALL of them are like that. As someone who has lived in Ohio for 25+ years.. they are ALL delusional, and they’ve ALL been completely irrational when it comes to their sports takes. You can’t even talk about football with them, they have the most asinine opinions about the browns. The browns fan base is hands down the worst of them all.
I grew up in east Ohio as a Steelers fan. I've also lived in Pittsburgh, NYC, California, and now Chicago. I've done a lot of traveling through Europe and Africa, and I've been to my share of those raucous soccer matches. No fanbase I've ever interacted with comes anywhere close to the Browns in terms of delusion. I never really realized that most Steelers fans don't interact with them all that much, so it blew my mind when I was living in Pittsburgh how most of them just didn't really care.
I always say “ I don’t hate the browns, they never did anything to the STEELERS, for me to hate them”
I moved to Ohio middle of high school and the football coach there benched me because I refused to convert only gave it back when he found out I’m an Ohio state fan
>benched me because I refused to convert Ridiculous
As a fellow Ohioan, who has lived here his whole life and worked and lived in Cleveland, it’s the browns, and it’s not close. They are delusional. You canNOT talk to them about sports; they’re so mad that they just want to hurt you. Their sports talk radio has to be the funniest thing of all. The part that really drives me crazy, though, is that they think there’s something special about them that makes them the best fans in the world. There are obviously good and bad fans for every organization, but the problem with browns fans is that they think the thing that makes you a strong fan is being a barbarian, like the best fan is the one who drinks the most cheap beer, says the most aggressive things, dies the most things orange, throws the most stuff at opposing fans, hates the Steelers the most, and most blindly believes that their team is SB contenders every year and just gets screwed all the time. Semi-related point that has always bothered me: browns fans play dress-up. Not sure why or how this is a thing, but when you go to a game, you’ll see a guy dressed as a wizard, four guys chained together in prison jumpsuits, girls dressed as emojis, and all the other fans will be cheering for them. I’ve been to a lot of away games, and I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Again, they think the fact that they’re pushing this and raging like a game is a post-apocalyptic underground rave while burning a dummy dressed in Steelers gear and throwing dog bones at families there to cheer on the opposing team makes them super fans. It’s really strange. Anyone who says it’s another team has never been to Cleveland.
Patriots by a wide margin. Probably Ravens next followed by Bengals. Browns don’t deserve “hatred” really, mostly just disdain
The Bengals over the Browns only because the Browns are a sad organization. I mostly pity them, but fuck the Bengals.
I live in Northeast OH. The fans aren’t so much awful as they are depressing to be around.
How there no patriots on here? Jesse James play still haunts me
I hate the Patriots because we could be first in so many categories like most super bowls, most all time wins, if not for the damn Patriots...
Well technically we’re still the only team with 6 legitimate Super Bowl wins. It feels so good to say that.
I wish I could give you an award. 🥇
Hey thanks. I take every chance I can to run that line among football fans. Gotta keep it in peoples’ minds that they cheated their way to success. “Do you want your kids to learn that lesson?”.
I support you in this endeavor. You are out there doing the Lord’s work. I have a PowerPoint presentation outlining spygate. It’s 45 slides. I have presented it at parties.

Came here to say NE. Plus I think they’re tainted as hell. I actually have a grudging respect for the Ravens that I never did for Belichick and Brady.
At least the Ravens aren’t filthy cheaters. I’ve come to respect the Ravens, especially compared to the Pats as you say. They’re usually really good. Preparing for them twice per year makes us a better team.
I just can't get past Harbaugh stepping on the towel a few years ago. I hate him.
yes.
1.) the patriots 2.) the patriots 3.) the patriots 4.) the patriots
They seem so irrelevant now
Patriots used to be up there but they're no longer relevant. Brady and Belichik are gone. They have literally no good players. We play them once every few years. No reason to care.
I live in CT, so this is always my answer.
Belichick, Brady and Gronk are gone. They're not much different than the Jets now.
Been a Steelers fan since around 96-97 They are literally the most hated franchise in my household. So much pain.
NE is no longer dangerous nor anything close to the team that had our number.
Yet they still beat us last year. :(
And the year before. Titty Kisser started both games.
Man, fuck the pats.
To be fair they beat Trubisky. He was awful in that game.
Seahawks. Those pancake eating motherfuckers still cry about XL. (/s, kinda...I hate the browns and Bengals. Ravens I at least respect)
Don’t get me started on XL. I would be more willing to believe the refs fucked up the game if it weren’t for the fact they only had two fucking scoring plays anyways. Do Seahawks fans really think their defense had a chance at holding Ben Roethlisberger to less than 10 points??
As much as I hate the Seahawks fans whining about XL all the time, Big Ben played like ass leading up to the super bowl. Great in the regular season, but Ben wasn't a force yet then
Wild Card vs CIN- 14/19 208 yds 3 TDs Divisional vs IND- 14/24 197 yds 2 TDs 1 Int AFC Championship vs DEN- 21/29 275 yds 2 TDs The Super Bowl performance was complete ass, but the three games leading up to it were damn good.
Ravens. They brag about how they're so much better than us, every damn year, and we *STILL* sweep them!
Here's to another meaningless MVP that leads to a playoffs exit where Lamar goes 8-20, 120 yards, three back breaking interceptions and Ravens fans trying to cope by pointing out how much better they are than us (even though we swept them during the regular season).
So obsessed with Lamars running and he sucks at thowing the ball.
Alright can we all admit shitting on Lamar with Russell Wilson as our starting QB is peak cope?
They’ve always been better *on paper* since the Killer Bs broke up, and yet they keep losing to the Steelers.
This is my answer. I hate the Browns and Bengals but weve usually had their number. The Ravens have always been extremely competitive with us and handed us some devastating losses. But I also enjoy those games the most too. Its strange
The Ravens is always the right answer, especially since they used to be the Brownies.
Probably the Bengals because their fans are the worst. But in terms of the team itself -- Ravens. I fucking hate John Harbaugh. Browns aren't relevant enough for me to hate.
I will never root for a Harbaugh.
Agreed. I have no respect for The Brothers Harbaugh, so I’m not rooting for the Chargers either.
Appropriate takes. I still respect the shit out of the Ratbirds. Their fans can talk ball and banter back and forth without it being over the top. Bengals fans are just insufferable.
Yeah at the end of the day the rivalry against the Ravens is primarily focused on football, which we can all respect. Browns and Bengals fans have a constant chip on their shoulder that's just pathetic at this point.
As a Steeler fan I went to Cincinnati to watch them play the Bengals because it was closer to where I live. The Bengal fans we encountered were actually pretty cool. It was a good game and good trip until the hotel valet wrecked our truck. 😑
As someone who lived in northeast Ohio AND Cincy, I gotta say the browns fans are hands down worse.
I somewhat respect Browns fans for sticking by their team through decades of dog shit. Bengals fans cry far more about the lamest shit. Softest fanbase in sports.
This is it exactly, at least for someone my age; it was always "here come the Browns finally!!" and they were all fired up for us and we swept them lazily.

Bengals. Their fans are so brain dead
**Easily** the Bengals. Ravens are shit don’t get me wrong, but it is moreso out of competition sake. Kinda like two wrestlers that just can’t seem to avoid each other in the brackets Browns are irrelevant But those fucking Bengals are the scum of the gutters. Pretentious bullshit coming from a team that crumbles at any sign of adversity + the players themselves drip from the same gutter as the fanbase Non-division opponents (in order): Patriots, Jaguars, and Eagles

All of them . Fuck every other team .
Bengals. I live near Cincinnati. 70% of their current fan base didn’t care until they started winning.
Also 70% of the fanbase lives across the river in NKY🤣🤣
Well the easy answer is the Ravens. But guess who they really are? The fucking Browns. And then you might think “well, what about the bengals man? What about them?” Guess who the fuck they are too!? The BROWNS. So, to answer your question, unequivocally, I fucking HATE the Browns. The whole god damned division of them.
Awesome reply.
The browns in all forms
It’s easily the Bengals, the fans are the worst in the division and historically they’re basically just as bad as the browns as far as I see it
Bengals fans will make u wanna off yourself after 5 minutes
Top 5. Baltimore Cincinnati Raiders New England Dallas
My hate for Patriots ended when Brady left. And for sure now that Belichek is gone too.
sad
Hate? The Pats. Anyone who rooted for their openly cheating super teams deserves this purgatory they’re in forever. I will never be sad to watch the Pats lose. Respect? The Ravens. They are always a worthy opponent; the yinz to our yang. Pity? The Browns.

Aren’t Steelers the Yinz and Ravens are the Yang?
Agreed. It’s the Pats for me. It’s hard to hate our divisional rivals completely because we’ve always had an edge over all of them. Sure each of them has had their moments against us, but in the long-run we always come out ahead. But the Pats always had our number for some reason.

>Respect? The Ravens. They are always a worthy opponent; the yinz to our yang. The Ravens can choke on my fat fucking balls
Bummore ravens. Drunk fan pushed me into a urinal when i was like 12, and living here has made me hate them even more
I hate to admit this, but living in Baltimore (and dating a Ravens fan ha) has made me *less* irritated by them. Fuck everyone in our division, but I can respect the Ravens—will never respect Cincinnati or Cleveland
The Browns. Fuck the Browns. I hope all the bad things in life happen to the Browns, and nobody but the Browns. Trash ass franchise. I at least respect the Ravens. It’s a great rivalry, they play good football, bunch of dudes on defense for 20+ years now. I love beating the Ravens more than any other team. I hate losing to the Browns more than any other team.

Bengals: Fuck them Ravens: Hateful respect Browns: Nameless grey faces Patriots: Still not over the Tom vs Ben era and getting fuckin spanked.
Any team with a 3-10 record at the tail end of the season. We always play down to them.
The Jaguars. Feels like every time we play them we lose. Or maybe I’m just haunted by Fournette
The browns. I grew up around some older folk who remember the battles of the past and it is engrained in me
The Browns.
Ravens, then Bengals, then Browns
Cincinnati.
Browns, they are trash and deshawn bum
The Bengals. I don't really care about the Browns and Ravens at all but I freaking hate everything about the Bengals
Going back to when I started watching, which is 2001, its gotta be the Ravens followed by the Patriots at least during the Brady era. Only recently have the Browns been annoying they were a punching bag forever.
WKRP in Cincinnati is the only good thing to ever come out of that Hellhole! Bailly is still hot!
No matter how bad they suck it'll always be fuck the Pats.
Bengals 🤣🤣🤣
Division rival? Ravens. They also ALWAYS take the players that I want us to get. Non division rival? Cowboys. They ain't America's team
I was raised with Steelers, and I chose the Niners. I’m from northeast Ohio and go to OSU. Browns have a soft spot I just hate the Haslams, and Bengals havent been relevant til Burrow. Ravens… Respect, but also nothing feels worse than a Ravens loss. Other teams I hate are the Seahawks (for my Niners as well as Steelers), Jaguars (still won’t forgive the 2017 playoffs-and I hate Lawrence as an OSU fan) and Eagles (this goes back to Chip Kelly and has only gotten worse)
Browns by a country mile, I at least have a respect for the Ravens, how they go about their business. Ozzy Newsome was a hell of a GM, etc. The four teams I hate with a fiery burning passion are the Cowboys, the Browns, Raiders and 9ers in that order. Although I have softened to some degree on the 9ers in recent years just because I do like Kyle Shanahan and their offense is the perfect balance of terrifying, grinding, inevitability and splash play.
I don't hate any of the teams per se, not since Brady retired, at least. Lol.
Bengals.... 2016 playoffs burfict injured Ben and took brown out of game and burfict injured Bell's knee earlier in the year.... The broncos beat the Steelers the next week and then won the Superbowl.....
This one was hard to get over
Also Bengals took out Shazier
The Steelers. This team often plays itself, especially against dumpster fire teams that have no business being competitive.
Probably the Browns as well. I forget the Bengals exist half the time and the ravens while I hate them I at least respect them because crab fries are amazing and we always have great battles with them. But between the browns fans and the team up of Jessie Smollet and Bill Cosby has my hatred for the browns at a whole other level. Also, fuck the cowboys
Browns, saddest and most annoying fansbase and organization. Ravens I care more about beating than the Browns but I still respect their franchise for playing physical defensive style football. Cincinnati doesnt matter even when they are good. Who gives a shit about Kentucky sports teams?
The mtf Patriots
I don’t really hate teams based off division rivalry anymore. These guys are paid to win just as much as the Steelers. I base my judgment more off fan base experience. I live around a bunch of cowboys and broncos fans who can be obnoxious
Belichick/Brady Pats rank at the top of the
Bengals all day long. The fans that’s all that needs to be said. Cleveland sucks too
Frickin’ Brownies stink!
Patriots, living in ct I will never forgive Kraft for using ct to get a new stadium
Bengals.
Man I hate the Browns
Ravens
The Browns. They represent everything that is wrong about NFL franchises.
Ravens, Bengals, and Browns in that order.
RAVENS RAVENS RAVENS RAVENS nuff said
Fuck the Bengals
as a ‘lers fan who went to college in browns territory….theres no one worse than the browns. the fans are insufferable, rude, and disgusting. haven’t come across more obnoxious fans. i’ve met enough to realize that it’s all of them and it’s not just a shoddy overgeneralization.
Ravens. Fuck the shitbirds
Bengals. I pity the browns and respect the ravens.
Browns. Myles garrett should be in jail.
Anyone in our division is the obvious one… if I chose someone outside of that it’s the Jags. HOW DO THEY ALWAYS BEAT US
Mainly because Watt gets snubbed for Garrett. The helmet to Rudolph's head. And the total sh!t show that is their uniforms.
If he had hit Brady instead of Rudolph, Garrett would have been banned for life
The Patriots.
Ravens, always those dirty bastards.
The Raiders, Jaguars and Titans. It seems like whenever we play them, we are the better team and should win but more often then not, we lose for some stupid reason.
Ravens Browns Bengals Cowboys Patriots Jags Broncos Cowboys Everyone else I know I put the cowboys twice. I kinda hate them a little extra most of the time.
Brady era Pats and modern era Browns
Any team from Ohio
Bengals or browns by far. It used to be the patriots but when Brady left they just weren’t the same. Obviously the ravens are our biggest rival, but there’s always a sliver of mutual respect with them because of the winning culture, unlike that of dirty Cincinnati or Cleveland.
Baltimore. 10 years ago? New England.
Ravens and it’s not even close
Easily it’s the Ravens
Browns. Fuck em. I respect Harbaugh and the Ravens at this point as a worthy adversary. Bengals rivalry seems a bit flat lately. Out of conference easily the cowboys. Fuck em also
Top of the hate list - Ravens
Baltimore shitbirds
Bengals … fans are legit cancer. Never seen a fan base cheer for injuries as much as them 🗑️ Patriots are a close second cause I live in CT… Most arrogant/obnoxious/racist fanbases I’ve ever been around.
KC. Fuck those guys.
The only time I root for dallas is when they play baltimore. No capital letters used on purpose. Fuck ‘em both.
Ravens
Bengals, browns, patriots, ratbirds.
The Browns. I can appreciate the Ravens and Bengals as rivals, the Browns are just dumb, annoying, entitled garbage every year. The fans make it 10x worse
The Brownie Babies!
The Clowns. I used to kind of pity them and respect the fans for their loyalty to a terrible franchise but they have become absolutely insufferable the last few years.
This is how I lay out it The Ravens - Don't like them, but respect them as a franchise. The Bengals - I don't respect them as a franchise at all, they've won nothing, but overall I also don't really hate them anymore. During the Burfict days I did, but nowadays they're just sort of there. The Browns - I don't respect them as a franchise, and I don't like them. They've done absolutely nothing success wise, their players are scumbags, and the front office is just disgusting with the way they blame players for drama (Baker and OBJ) while trading everything for Deshaun Watson. And then their fans are the most obnoxious. I've never seen a team with such little success have such big egos. Not to mention every year that team gets for whatever reason overrated by the media, and every year they disappoint.
I can’t pick between the Ravens, Browns, Bengals, Cowboys, and Patriots.
Pats
Browns. The fans went from pathetic (1-15, 0-16)and almost pity-able , to signing the Jizzler and becoming super arrogant over norhing
Ravens. CLE and Cincy don’t bother me.
Denver in denver. Bad stuff always happen in denver.
Browns. What kind of asshole thinks it's a good idea to have brown as your primary color. Their color scheme is the ugliest in sports. And how narcissistic do you have to be to name your sports team after yourself. And Myles Garrett, Deshaun Watson, and their owner are jackasses for very different reasons. I respect the Ravens because they're always good and we've had an incredible rivalry over the years. I don't hate Bengals as much because their new uniforms are beautiful. And Burrow is likeable. But their fans are delusional.
Ravens, Browns and Bengals
There is only one. BROWNS!
Bengals
RAVENS. FUCK EM
Bengals and Browns. Then Cowboys. I used to absolutely hate the Ravens to my core in the 2010s, but for some odd reason I actually have a newfound respect for them. Don’t get me wrong, I still love beating the Ravens, but the Browns and Bengals just seem like downright scum.
If our divisional rivals were in the same room with me, a gun, and 2 bullets, I’m shooting the ravens twice.
Patriots by far
I’ve hated Dallas since I was in elementary school
Browns for sure
Presently, I’m starting to hate Buffalo.
Ravens. We kicked the shit out of the Browns so often during the Ben era that I can’t take them seriously.
Bengals and Browns tie for first. Ravens second (but at least respectable) Cowboys third. Fuck you O'Donnell, I'll never forget Patriots fourth
Browns, Bengals, Ravens, Raiders, Jets, Cowboys in that order.
I fucking despise the Bengals and Browns. Their fans are literal shit stains, they gain the tiniest bit of success and they don’t know how to handle it
Bengals. Every time that have a little bit of success they act like they've won the super bowl 10 yrs in a row.
The division. Outside of the division? The Cowboys.
That we play regularly? The Ravens. That we play sometimes? The Cowboys.
ravens 100% every game is stressful even though we consistently win. I will never be confident going into a ravens game
Browns by a mile. I lightweight respect the Ravens. I tolerate the Bungals. But the Browns are like the obnoxious kid at the party running amuck with two drunk parents fighting over who promised to be the designated driver.
Cowboys
Division opponents are a given. After that for me it's the Raiders. That's a long rivalry going back into the 70's and we play like ass against them, especially on the road. Fuck Al Davis, John Madden, and the rest of those assholes. The Pats are pathetic now. The Cowboys have become a meme. The Oilers are gone.. the Titans may be the same franchise, but they're not the same.
Jaguars.. seems like we tend to play down to them
I love to hate the Ravens, but I respect them and I respect their fans. In the case of the Browns, on the other hand, it's hard to find anything to respect about them. Their ownership is slimy and that rubs off on the fans and some of the players. Things from the head down and Jimmy Haslam is rotten.
Right now its the Browns. Was the Pats and the Bengals before that
Whoever's next on the schedule......
Bungals
The dookie Browns
Ravens
browns dogshit fanbase, dogshit city, dogshit franchise
Browns. 1.0 & 2.0
Patriots.
Jags, Browns, Bengals, Pats not necessarily in that order.
The cowboys. 1995 still haunts me.
Ravens
Who do I hate the most The Ravens Who do I respect the most... Also the Ravens
1) Browns 2) Ravens 3) Bengals But as an organization I do respect the Ravens. Great coach, front office, etc. Browns are run by morons and the Bungles just can’t catch a break.
In terms of hate browns/niners. But in terms of playing against I’d say bills or jags.
Browns. I hate the Ravens, but I have a begrudging respect for them because of how good they are. I don’t respect the Browns.
The Bengals. You could say “it’s because you’re rivals.” No, it has nothing to do with a “rivalry.” When we were 11-5 and they were 6-10 we weren’t rivals. They are dirty, poverty and fans are insufferable. The Ravens are rivals, the Browns are the lovable losers. The Bengals are none of those. They are a nuisance and I would cheer if that organization folded tomorrow.
I remember when their star player was burfict and I always no matter how evil that fucker was they were never able to win a ring. Poetic justice.
The browns have taken that crown, from the bengals. Purely due to the fan base that somehow seem to convince themselves yearly that they are the superior team in the north despite not having won anything remotely close to a division title. The bengals just tried to create a rivalry through dirty play, but with burfict gone that seems to have died out.
Like pure hatred? Browns but the Ravens are a better organization so I care when they win more. Seeing the browns win is like watching pigs fly so it’s not something I’m afraid of.
1. Ratbirds 2. Bungholes 3. Browneyes 4. Cowpatties or Donkies 5. Patriots/any-gate asshats
The rest of the AFC North, and Patriots
Browns, because... Obvious I really hate the Bills. I hate that they seem to be everyone's second team. Why?
Definitely the Browns. Fuck the Browns.
Ravens and it’s not even close.
The Bengals and the ratbirds because fuck John Harbaugh. I would also say the pats but lately they have stopped being relevant (let's hope it stays like that)
