  1. Yea. I only agree with about half of them. Here would be my Top Ten Personal Favorites among the Best Picture winners, no particular order: The Godfather I and II. I combine them. Lord of the Ring. Return of the King. Though I think the award is really for the whole Trilogy Chicago Schindler's List The Sting Patton Lawrence of Arabia Casablanca Rocky The French Connection Honorable Mentions: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; In the Heat of the Night; Bridge on the River Kwai; Gladiator, Shakespeare in Love; Titanic; Silence of the Lambs; Amadeus, It Happened One Night. The King's Speech. Unforgiven. Could be others. Shit LIst, ile the worst (Note...only involves ones I have seen, there are actually a number that I have not seen, or don't remember...particularly the older ones...and some of the newer ones): Crash The English Patient Out of Africa Gigi 12 Years a Slave Kramer vs. Kramer
  2. Saw one episode, and was so so about it. May come back to it, but we went on to other stuff we got into.
  3. I had the same issue with it, but it got better as it went along.
  4. Never heard of him. By the way the guy that lived in Orwell OH is a guy named Mike Tyson. He has since sold that house.
  5. StubHub perhaps? For the tickets to the game. Travelocity/Priceline for your airfare and hotels. And FYI, prostitution is legal in Germany, so there is probably an app for you to use when you go.
  6. Well I am thinking of Randall Tex Cobb. I don't know who he fought. Former Heavyweight Champion Michael Dokes was from Akron. (was because he died in 2012) The the guy that lived in Orwell? I will let mjp tell you that one.
  7. When were we ever considering Malzahn as HC? I don't think I ever heard that.
  8. Jerry Quarles? What boxer from Akron WAS Heavyweight Champion? What boxer that lived in Orwell Ohio (in NE Ohio) was heavyweight champion? Or...I thought of another guy from Texas who may have fought for the title: did he go by the name "Tex"? and have a Packer WR with the same name?
  9. Sorry, I just think it is manic for the NFL to try to go after the Euro dollars. They make a plenty right here. Nevertheless, I guess it could be cool to go over for one of those games. When was the last time the Browns did an international game? (to answer my own question: 2017....is the ONLY time the Browns have gone over. Some teams have gone over multiple times....particularly the Jags who have been there 7 times. Of course, that was because they could not draw fans at home. That could now change with Lawrence/Meyer & Co. This year the only team named so far for a London game is Atlanta. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_International_Series
  10. There is talk coming out of my asshole that it wants me to partake in Cinco de Mayo revelry by eating spicy Mexican food and drinking Margaritas. I should not listen to that any more than we should listen to that Twitter shit.
  11. There some big assumptions being made with this proposed trade: The bigger assumption is that some blowhard with a keyboard or a TV camera in front of him invented this as just some Wild Ass Way to stir conversation. That particular assumption was correct.
  12. The school is Pennsylvanian.
  13. Ah! I did not know that about him. And thanks for clearing that up about Hispanic/Spaniard. I was not sure about that either. I guess therefore, you would never really call a native of Spain a "Hispanic" or would you? Do you consider yourself "Hispanic"? My nephew's now ex-wife I guess would be considered a Spaniard. She was born in Spain but raised..to a point, in Nicaragua where, I believe her family left after the Sandinistas took control to head for Florida. But whether he is Villanova or Villanueva, he is actually: Mr. country house of the Ancient Romans. You may be aware of the Villanova University, in the Philadelphia area, which has won a few NCAA basketball championships.
  14. Butcher for Baker Cobbler for Baker Candlestickmaker for Baker. At least that one rhymes.
  15. What is the worse that can happen? He doesn't work out and gets cut.....and we look at the other 7 DTs we have on the roster.
  16. 6 - Spiranac played professional golf [after college] for under one year - in 2016. She made the cut at exactly one tournament and has not played professionally since. She's a married swimsuit model and writes a column in Golf magazine. No. Are you seriously clinically dissecting her professional career?
  17. Well...if they thought that Corbett was the problem there, they would have sat him on the bench or cut his ass. But, seemingly they did not perceive him to be the problem with Goff. I think they thought that Goff was the problem with Goff.
  18. Well...they may. but, again, why is the Player's Association discouraging them from doing their workouts at the team facilities? Seems to me an unnecessary risk that some team may in fact be a cockwad about it.....yet be perfectly within their rights to do so.
  19. Here are some Post Draft Survey Questions. Give your answers or opinions: 1. The Browns now have Elliot/Billings/Malik Jackson/Marvin Wilso/Square/Togiai/McDowell and Day at DT. Do they really have room to bring back Sheldon Richardson? How many of these guys stick? 2. Which of the following QB/WR/RB reunions will work best in the pros: Burrows/Chase LSU; Tua/Waddell Alabama; Hurt/Smith Alabama; Lawrence/Etienne Clemson 3. Tim Tebow is going to try out at Tight End for his old coach Urban Meyer and the Jags. Will it work? 4. Both Brett Favre and Terry Bradshaw have less than complimentary things to say about Aaron Rodgers and his desire to get out of Green Bay: "Too Sensitive" "Weak" "Melodramatic etc. Are they right? 5. Speaking of Rodgers, would he be worth making this trade for him, which I heard proposed: To Miami for their 2 first round picks in 2022, their two first round picks in 2023, and Tua. 6. The following, Page Spiranac is one of the top Golfers on the LPGA Tour. Are you terribly concerned about what her handicap may be?
