Every who down in whoville liked football a lot
But the Browns fans, who lived north of whoville, did not
The Browns fans hated Football! The whole Football season!
Now, please don't ask why. Everyone knows the reason
It could be they would soon be 0 and 16
A team so bad, had never been seen
But I think the most likely reason of all
Was how their team played every fall
Whatever the reason, their record or play
They were all eagerly awaiting Christmas day
They stood there on Christmas eve, hating the Who's
Hoping they'd beat the Bears, but figuring they'd lose
Staring down from their cave with a frown on their face
KNowing they were all watching teams still in the playoff race.

Indianapolis Colts @ Baltimore Ravens
"Even the Colts have won three games this year," they said all sporty
"We haven't even won that many in the last forty!"

Then they growled, with their fingers strumming
"I must find some way to stop the playoffs from coming."

For tomorrow, he knew, all the who's with their weird names
would be watching their teams playing their games

Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers
Then the who, young and old, would sit down to a feast.
And the Browns fans snarled. "The Packers won't make it this year, at least."

And the more the Browns fans thought of Football in the first of the year
The more they thought "I've got to stop the playoffs, that'll bring me some cheer."
Then they got an idea! An idea so foul!
"I know just what to do!" they said with a growl
"We'll stop some teams from making the post-season.
That'll get them upset, even if the Browns aren't the reason."

Los Angeles Rams @ Tennessee Titans
The Rams would make it, but the Titans might not
"With a loss, they can't win the division" the browns fans thought.

Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots
And Oh Belichick, they thought with glee.
He'd knock the bills back with his cheating, tee-hee!

Cleveland Browns @ Chicago Bears SUPER LOCK
Of course the Browns would probably lose to the bears
And then 0-16 would soon be theirs.

Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints
But oh, the Falcons would surely be upset with passion
After losing that last super bowl in such a fashion
They'd soon be crying all night and all day!
Upset their team would no longer get to play!

Detroit Lions @ Cincinnati Bengals
The lions could still make it, and they thought that was fine
"If they can do it after 0-16, maybe the playoffs could eventually be mine!"

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers
And the Panthers would make it in with a win
But the Buccaneers were in as bad a state as they've ever been

Miami Dolphins @ Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs were up, and then they were down
The Browns fans with their team was that good, they thought with a frown

Denver Broncos @ Washington Redskins
The Broncos and Redskins were already out
"More to commiserate with," the Browns fans did shout

Growing up, I wish some teacher told me "You probably won't ever need this, but if you don't learn it, you might miss out on something really cool."
