“Revenge of the Dawgs” is a sci-fi revenge flick set in an alternate reality where the world is a hellish dystopia. Wait a sec… upon closer inspection that’s turn-of-the-millennium Cleveland. Honest mistake. Actually, for something found on YouTube, this video isn’t half bad– sort of “Any Given Sunday” meets “Death Wish” meets “Omega Man”.
It’s fun to see the Fauxdell get his comeuppance. My only cavil: would it have been too much trouble to have the Dogfather say: “Right about now you are about to be possessed by the sounds of Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock”?
Fast-forward ten years– Cleveland has their Browns back, so you would think all would be right their fans. You would be wrong…
Joe DiNicola, who brought us his DaVinci like depiction of the event which spawned this blog’s nomenclature is back. This time he provided a screed to go along with his art…
Since the Browns return, our putrid play on the field is a direct correlation to lousy coaching and horrible player personnel men. We went from Palmer and Dwight Clark combo, to Butch Davis / Pete Garcia, to Romeo Crennel / Phil Savage…now this. Ted Kokonis is yet another rookie GM who gives Eric Mangini whatever he wants. I have christened the new duo Manfredo, part Mangini and part Fredo (“I’ gonna learn the casino business”).
They are now talking of keeping the inept Derek Anderson and trading Brady Quinn, because, get this, no one wants Anderson, doh. They dumped Winslow for a late second because they were afraid of what they were going to have to PAY him and got waste of space TE Robert Royal whom the TE starved Bills found expendable. We have let loose starters Sean Jones, Andre Davis, and Kevin Schaffer and have picked up some Jet scrubs and a “porkchop” guard. This 4th duo under the wing of the Lerner family proves you can have a lot of dollars and no sense.
Sounds like things are back to normal on the shores of Lake Erie. Behold Manfredo!

was Baltimore in the negative integers?
Just a side note, but in a recent study, every AFC North city made the list of 20 worst cities to live in. Baltimore was the only one not to make the top 10.
Well, this video isn’t any worse than “Time Chasers” or “The Final Sacrifice.” Hold your head high, Cleveland!
what the hell, Cleveland.
I”M SMAHHT!!! I CAN DO THINGS!!!
Whats with all the Cleveland hate? It’s not Miami or San Diego, but the people are friendly (unless you screw with us or make a bad call against the Jaguars), and at the least our tortured sports fans are pretty loyal
/Still waiting to see a championship won in his lifetime.
//Pittsburgh makes Cleveland look like Honolulu
Andra Davis didn’t start.
That sound you hear is my will to live departing my body….
/at least I still have the Buckeyes…..
What’s worse, Cleveland or Pittsburgh?
LeBron James rules!
Cleveland has a damned fine fire department, though. They put out the fire on the Cuyahoga River.
Cleveland isn’t called “Mistake on the Lake” for nothing.
Why does every conversation about Cleveland sports involve Satanic pacts and sodomy?
Oh, yeah- it’s Cleveland. Never mind.
getting reamed by the Lord of Darkness and his Knobby Infected Shelaighleigh would probably be the high point of your day as Master of The Mistake on the Lake
Cheerleader:
Ugh. In that case, I’ll pass.
@ eddiebear
No, but you could rule Cleveland.
Too bad they couldn’t get Toby Radloff and Harvey Pekar.
On the bright side… Last year I went into the season with relatively high expectations for the Browns, only to have them butchered like a Camp Crystal Lake counselor. At least this year when they suck, I’ll be ready for it.
Cheerleader:
Depends. Can I rule the universe for a day in exchange?
Mangini is too slim to live in Cleveland
@ eddiebear,
But would you let Satan peg you?
I’m so fucking jealous of kids these days. In the 70s and 80s, there was absolutely NOTHING to do except wait five weeks for some idiots with long hair to release a new 3 minute video for their latest song.
Now you’ve got the interweb, youtube, cellphones, facebook and girls who are 14 years old and act like whores.
It’s not fair.
Fucking 80s.
On the bright side, the Browns have a great receiver in Donte Stallworth.
I would rather suck on the barbed cock of Satan than be anywhere near Cleveland
