GAME OF THE WEEK

[Bill Brasky]

CLEVELAND (AP) - They're sister cities linked by a Great Lake, snow and soul-crushing sports heartbreak.


Cleveland and Buffalo: Where losing is a way of life.

Generations of fans in these two proud cities have endured more than their share of tortuous losses. And most of those low, gut-wrenching moments have been tagged for eternity with catchy nicknames like "The Drive," "Wide Right," "The Fumble," and "The Music City Miracle."


Nobody does defeat like Clevelanders or Buffalonians, who've had misery served to them like blue cheese with chicken wings.


This week, though, only one set of these rabid, Rust Belt fans will have to suffer.


The Browns (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/67042) (8-5) and Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/67039) (7-6), two surprise teams lumped in with the league's other bottom feeders before the season began, will play Sunday in a showdown with AFC playoff implications.

Good article, both Cleveland and Buffalo are true blue collar die hard football towns, both very deserving to advance to the playoffs.

With that said, this Sunday we're gonna give the Browns "The Ass-Kicking".

It looks like its going to be good football wheather too. Their calling for it to be snowing and windy. Thats good wheather for Marshawn and Fred to pound the ball.

"It's time for us to really find out who we are, and we'll do that through this game," Whitner said. "We'll find out if we're a playoff-caliber team or if we're just faking. With this game we'll find out a lot about ourselves."

[Oaf]
