Which Cleveland team will be the first to win a title?

[BernieKozar]

Journeyman's post regarding the 4-year-old Yankee fans who have endured a lifetime of suffering made this 42-year-old ponder......
Which Cleveland team (if any) will be the first in my lifetime to win a worlds title? (well okay, technically the Browns have won NFL titles in my lifetime).....
Browns?
Cavs?
Tribe?
cast your vote.
I'm hesitantly going with the Browns. Don't think they are anywhere near it yet, but the parity in the NFL gives them the best shot of the three.

The Indians farm system is absolutely LOADED with talent. I have to believe we're somewhat close to seeing a return of the 1990s-type teams. Still, somehow the best of the best will end up elsewhere.

Cavs are obviously headed in the right direction. Despite what people believe, LeBron alone won't do it. Hell, I just hope he's still in a Cavs uniform in four years. If so, he needs a Pippen-like teammate or two.

Here are the odds:

Browns are a long way off. They could get there someday but through the years it has been a musical chairs of front office people/head coaches and very few have gotten it done. Maybe this current group can turn it around but it will take a while. +500

Indians have a nice team and a nice farm system, but we all know the financial situation in MLB. Those young studs will be playing in Boston and LA in a few years. +375

Cavs are the overwhelming favorite. Lebron is the best talent I have seen come into the league in all my years of watching the NBA. Dude is still 19 years old and is already carrying a team into the playoffs. He's only going to get better, they will gradually add more around him, they will be a force withing 3 years. The Cavs would have to completely blow it not to capitalize on his once in a lifetime talent - yea he's that good. -450

A no brainer Cleveland Cavaliers.

You will get one soon, the Cavaliers!

Cavs, in about two years.
Tribe, in my lifetime, unless I die before I turn 50.
Browns, not in my lifetime, unless I live to 150.

The Tribe.



Lebron is not that good IMO.

cavs i'd say first but agree that browns have a good shot with the NFL parity....
