  1. I would stop in as well. I really have nothing against this little twerp...other than that he is a Steeler fan which I attribute to poor upbringing. And the fact that he is often a cunthole. I mean, he clearly can't take a little trash talk. Of course, in my career I have dealt with far bigger cuntholes than him. Far far bigger. Like you know, serial killers, wife murderers, water intoxicated addicts...yes, that is a thing it really makes a person crazy etc. I do notice that he does not mention the name...or location of his place. Not much confidence in his offerings?
  2. Hardly. I had his cunthole on ignore for a while, until I figured it was a cunthole move to do so. And yet, notice that even though he has me on "ignore" he can never seem to ignore me.
  3. A number of girl groups can fit the category....this one chose the right song to cover:
  4. These guys may have never harmonized in their relationship as well as they harmonized in the song about their breakup:
  5. Some of this may be Freddie Mercury overdubbing his own vocals, but I do think the rest of the band contributes quite a bit to the great vocals of Queen:
  6. Who are the greatest Vocal Harmony Groups in the Rock n Roll era (genre). Here off the top of my head are a few:
  7. He did, however take the Browns to an NFL Championship game without Otto, but they lost to the Lions. They lost a couple to the Lions with Otto (and they won with Otto).
  8. You can't ascribe his success to luck....but I will say that there is certainly an element of luck involved there. It seems a stroke of luck that who is considered now the greatest QB in history was taken with pick #199. No matter who would have gotten him, and if he had turned out that good, that would have been luck. Could Brady have had all the success he has had without BB? Possibly not. But we do at least now know that he is certainly capable of having success without BB.
  9. Those 1983 guys would have been drafted like 1,2,3,4,5 these days
  10. Breakdown of the above: Six #1 overall picks won 2 or more titles Six selected between 2-10 won 2 or more titles Four selected between 10-100 won 2 or more titles Six selected over 100 won 2 or more titles One UDFA won 2 or more titles. (Kurt Warner came close to making it 2).
  11. Just a whimsey here. Looking at where the various multiple championship winning QBs were drafted. Name, draft position, number of titles won: Otto Graham # 4 7 titles (drafted by Lions in 1944,,,,all titles won with Browns) Tom Brady #199 7 titles Bart Starr # 200 5 titles Sid Luckman #2 4 titles Joe Montana #82 4 titles Terry Bradshaw #1 4 titles Troy Aikman #1 3 titles John Unitas #102 3 titles (drafted by Steelers.....titles won with Colts) Sammy Baugh #6 2 titles Len Dawson #5 2 titles (drafted by Steelers.....titles won with Chiefs) George Blanda 119 2 titles (drafted by Bears....titles won with Oilers Jack Kemp #203 2 titles (drafted by Lions, titles with Bills) Roger Staubach #129 2 titles Bob Griese #4 2 titles Ben Roethlisberger #11 2 titles Jim Plunkett #1 2 titles (drafted by Patriots, titles with Raiders John Elway #1 2 titles (drafted by Colts, titles with Broncos) Eli Manning #1 2 titles Peyton Manning #1 (drafted by Colts, 1 title with Colts, 1 with Broncos Bob Waterfield #42 2 titles Tommy Thompson UDFA 2 titles...with Eagles Bobby Layne #3 2 titles Tobin Rote #17 2 titles (drafted by Packers....won 1 title with Lions and 1 with Chargers
  12. On that subject of attending Browns games at home.....I have found this recent article: Cleveland Browns fans will likely be able to pack First Energy Stadium full this coming fall, as long as everything goes according to plan with the battle against COVID-19. After hosting a very minimal crowd last season, the Browns should be back in front of tens-of-thousands of fans before long. The development and distribution of multiple vaccines is the main source to thank. “While our main focus will always be on the well being of everyone within our stadium. Including players, coaches and of course, our incredible fans. We are encouraged by the current developments related to COVID-19 in our region and hope that we will be allowed to have a full capacity at FirstEnergy Stadium this upcoming season," said Browns Senior Vice President of Communications Peter John-Baptiste in a recent statement. This statement comes prior to President Joe Biden directing states to have the coronavirus vaccine available to everyone by May 1st. Ohio is on track to meet that mark. Getting fans back in to stadiums will give a huge boost to money lost during the 2020 season. With the increased revenue in television deals and fans attending the salary cap could largely benefit from stadiums being filled again. At peak attendance last season the Browns could host 12,000 people, or about 25% of the stadiums capacity. In a season that Cleveland saw a ton of success, it would have meant just that much more if it was a fan-filled atmosphere. Rookies in the NFL did not get to endure large NFL crowds for the most part, it should be a positive twist to their 2021 seasons.
  13. 6. Now that the schedule is released, are there any Browns away games you plan...or would like to attend? I would like to attend all of them. Have my eyes on Bears home game, not sure if I'll make any road games this year, but I don't rule it out. Next year ... Miami, Baby! Maybe you should consider coming in for these October dates...where you all could be here for both a Sunday game and the following Thursday night game: 6 Oct. 17 Arizona Cardinals 4:05 p.m. FOX 7 Oct. 21 (Thu.) Denver Broncos 8:20 p.m. FOX/NFLN/AMZ
  14. This was in the middle of the 1995 season it says. I wonder if the team's refusal to pay McMahon came from directions from the top...i.e. Modell, who was pinching pennies and conspiring to try to move the team. Beyond that, BB as HC may have had control of the roster and playing time, but I don't think he handled the finances of the team......so maybe McMahon's ire was misdirected.
