As goes the plot to approximately 87.3% of romantic dramas, nothing brings people together quite like sharing a traumatic experience. In movies, that trope is generally used to explain the formation of eternal love. In reality, there is nothing more traumatic than realizing that no amount of coaching experience can prepare you for the impossible undertaking of teaching the Cleveland Browns how to win. Ipso facto, why can't it also be used to explain the formation of gluttonous bingers between grown men that were lucky enough to get canned by the same dysfunctional employer? I don't want to let all these party-goers off the hook, because they share some of the blame for the Browns' woes. Their inability to help reverse a losing culture only made it more and more deep-seated. That said, if there's a team whose long-term prognosis can drive a bunch of fired dudes to drink in celebration of no longer being a paid part of it then it plays football in the city of Cleveland. The concept of bonding over a mutual ex is a lot more common than people think. When that ex is well-known for being the type to drag down every person with which they form a relationship, the bonding typically results in the literal and figurative lifting of spirits...even if it done at a literal and figurative Rock Bottom.
