Wow, there is some nice talent here at RCF, and I like how we've even expanded into limericks.
An Elizabethian sonnet:
Shall I compare thee to the Cleveland Browns?
Thou art more balanced and entertaining
always the same circus but different clowns
Deep in the Q the three ball is raining
Shall I compare thee to the Lumberjacks?
Thou art Cleveland's signature monument
Pistons knees do shake when LeBron attacks
Cavs are a bulb, LeBron is filament
Illgauskas desire shall not fade
and powder blue seats' bygones be bygones
Kobe Bryant, Tayshaun Prince, and Dwayne Wade
Clint Eastwood says "Punks, get off of my lawns!"
championships my dreams have longed to see
and so lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Massive rep to the first to lay down an iambic pentameter sonnet. op:
EDIT: well done, Blueseats. That is why I highlighted you in the sonnet.
