BEREA, Ohio - The Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA title in June.
The Cleveland Indians will play for the World Series title starting Tuesday.
The Cleveland Browns this weekend seek their first win in seven games in Cincinnati and seem to be a long way their first winning season since 2007.
For the Browns, watching the Indians celebrate the American League pennant brought mixed emotions.
"It's so, so bittersweet," cornerback Joe Haden said.
As in there's excitement and happiness for the Indians' success but frustration and disappointment at where the Browns are.
"We're going to get there," coach Hue Jackson said.
Tuesday the Indians will open the World Series across the plaza from Quicken Loans Arena, where the Cavs will raise their championship banner. Haden said he is trying to figure a way to be in both venues for what will be a night of excitement and joy in Cleveland.
The Browns will either be 0-7 or 1-6.
The team recognizes that the Cavs' title brought an explosion of elation to a downtrodden city. But the Indians' success seems to have brought frustration that can border on embarrassment for the Browns.
"I'm so happy for the Cavs, so happy for the Indians," Haden said. "At the same time we're one of the professional sports teams in the same city where they're doing a lot of successful things."
That the Browns are winless went unsaid.
"It pushes us, man," Haden said of the Indians' success. "We want to be successful. We want the city to embrace the Browns. We know this is a football town, but we want to get some W's so they can show the same love and support that they've been showing for the other teams."
The Cavs have made themselves more than visible while rooting for the Indians. Twice in the playoffs numerous players -- notably LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, J.R. Smith and Kevin Love -- led the cheers from a suite at Progressive Field. Browns coaches and players are in season and haven't been as visible at Indians games, but they were very present for the Cavs' title run.
Haden said some of the Browns players are "working on something right now as far as a suite" for the World Series, but it'll be a tough task given the way the Indians have captured the city's heart.
"Looking at it from afar, I want to be in that spot, too," Jackson said. "The basketball team's done it. The baseball team's doing it, and has a great opportunity to get it done. Our football team -- we're not there yet. But all those teams were built to where they are now today.
"We're in our stage, too. We got to get there. But that's the goal, is to win a championship."
