    For lovers of the Bulldogs, you'll certainly feel some kinship with the long suffering Cleveland fans.
    Yeah I've been told I will empathise all over the place with Believeland.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          Even Siri relates the Browns home stadium to sadness (also known as the factory of sadness...)

          In Cleveland, if you ask Siri -- Apple's personal voice assistant -- the question "Where is sadness?" -- it responds with a photo directing people to FirstEnergy Stadium, home of the Browns.

            Very remorseful, and seems she was badly let down by hangeroners.

              ABC 2 have had Thrilla in Manilla and when we were kings on.
              I've just seen Thrilla in Manilla , and fair to say Ali treated Smokin Joe appallingly .
              He got very personal and crossed the line a few times, he later tried to console with Frazier through his son, but Joe wasn't accepting that . The two genuinely hated each other, and it wasn't the usual title promotion nonsense you get .Ali's ring side doctor tried to convince him to retire after the fight, but sadly fell on deaf ears .

                Cleveland Cavaliers are 1 win away from the first championship the city has seen in 50 odd years.
                Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                            There's a lot to enjoy about the new chapter, but it's impossible to go past James' determination. That block on Iguodala was championship winning, career defining leadership.

                            He would've been under a mountain of pressure, but he just would not be beaten.

                            I'm nominally a Warriors fan, but what a story.

                              The Block will be replayed for eternity. Like MJ and The Shot, this is LeBron's legacy moment.

                              What a game. The best I've ever seen, given the context and history. Nail biting from start to finish.

                              Sport is awesome.
