    We need to know the entire story.  Is the money already appropriated by already voted on existing law?  Sin tax, whatever it might be called.  

     

    Cleveland has this in place.  I don't think any new taxes will go towards the stadium fund.  They are already being collected.

     

    I don't like to say this as I have already said I consider myself a Clevelander until death.   The Cleveland city council thinks like Wal-Mart shoppers.  They fucked up the last move, and now want to take the cheap way out of things, and will fuck this up again.

     

    Haslam has vision.  The elected representatives don't.  They are simpletons elected by simpletons.

    Hiring De"pud"esta is not my idea of "Vision"

    You law of order guys are OK with Cheetos cheating on his taxes. What a surprise. Cheetos wrote off a loss of 650 million on his Chicago Cheetos tower. Yet another one of his business failures. But writing off massive lose is legal and is what Cheetos is best at. But two year later, Cheetos change ownership if the building from one of his shell companies to another one if his shell companies. Then he wrote off the same loss again at 160 million. That is what your hero does. Cheats at everything. No criminals' charges though, cause the IRS is so underfunded and those damn statute of limitation have run out. But they can still make him pay it back the money with a penalty and interest. You guy can yell hoax and fake trial like the well train dogs you are.

    Good point about having no problem with the play calling.  When you need to use 5 different QBs with varied strengths and skill-sets and you have to get up to speed as soon as 1 of them (that isn't the starter) takes the field - that play calling hits the ground running.  Winning 11 games in spite of that, says a lot about how well the play calling was. 

    This is just a guess on my part - but I think Dorsey was brought here to do the play calling.  One thing to remember about that, Stefanski will probably have a lot of input on the offensive game plans and what he wants his OC to do against opponents in various situations, downs and distances.  He'll get all that info at the beginning of the week so they can practice it throughout the week.  This should help Dorsey's choices in every situation during the game.  Nothing you probably didn't already know.

    On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to give Dorsey the same role they gave Van Pelt on game day.

    For me.. Play calling was only an issue when he decided to get cute thinking he could outsmart everyone on particular downs.. Now do I think he's a bad person?.. No.. But at the same.. I don't think there's anything particular about him that makes him special.. Now granted.. He's not "Patty cakes" Murmer or Spew Jackass..... But he'll never be associated or spoken in the same breath as Lombardi or PB.....  One thing I did notice though.. As soon as Blowdell and Baker were sent packing... (That's no accident).. The locker room became more galvanized... But I don't seem him as an Elite HC ... To me.. Those are the Bill Walsh's and Tom Landry's of football past...  With Belichic'.. I put an Asterisk beside him because he was 0 before Brady and he's been 0 without him...  I still need to see more... If the ship sinks this year for whatever reason.. Im not opposed to trying someone new... And the FO will share in the blame game as well...

    Us grunts know what to carry but I think a .44 mag would be better against a grizzly.

    I didn't know you were a grunt... I watch this one guy on Youtube.. His Channel is called "Grunt Proof" ... His name is Randall..  He's a real serious dude... I would love to get yours and Cal's take on this guy. My stepfather was a Viet Nam Vet.. So naturally here I am late in life trying to adapt and learn things I shouldve done years ago... But as they say.. There's no time like the present..

    Did this loser do anything without cheating? 

    IRS Audit Could Cost Trump $100 Million — ProPublica

    Former President Donald Trump used a dubious accounting maneuver to claim improper tax breaks from his troubled Chicago tower, according to an IRS inquiry uncovered by ProPublica and The New York Times. Losing a yearslong audit battle over the claim could mean a tax bill of more than $100 million.

    The 92-story, glass-sheathed skyscraper along the Chicago River is the tallest and, at least for now, the last major construction project by Trump. Through a combination of cost overruns and the bad luck of opening in the teeth of the Great Recession, it was also a vast money loser.

    But when Trump sought to reap tax benefits from his losses, the IRS has argued, he went too far and in effect wrote off the same losses twice.

    Ahhh the strawman is at it again with his hopeless dreams of seeing Trump in Jail.. Which,, Will NEVER happen!... Poor Ccunt!

    Must be a long walk to get to Rocky Mountain National Park trails.😂

    Hey , I get around regardless.. Life is constant improvisation.. There's a will.. There's a way... I'm actually going on a big hiking trip in Vegas for my birthday in January.. Man.. I have so much traveling in my future its almost beyond ridiculous!.. I go to southern Ohio next weekend for my nieces graduation.. Then June 5th.. We fly out of Toronto Canada for a big trip to Europe which includes a whole week in my Mothers homeland of Croatia. Then a short trip to Put in Bay.. Followed by a week at Deep Creek State Park in MD. Then were debating going back to Letchworth State Park in west central NY in the fall.. And god only knows what else will be added to my plate.. So I've been going to the Y 3x's a week trying to get myself in relatively good shape for the long haul... I hate lagging behind... But I'm up to the task.. Can't wait... I love challenges and adventure!

     

    Oh yeah.. And I forgot.. there's a little trip planned for some week long camping festival in Ellicotville, NY I forgot about... Jesus...  I gotta write this shit down "laughs"

    I admit I am a cold weather pussy. I keep a blanket on when my wife is around because she sets the temp too low at 73F and the vent blows right on me. And I won't go outside to mow the yard in any temp lower than 75F. I might get frostbite. Give me 90 or above for all outdoor activities. That I got used to in Venezuela year round. I think I may be the only guy in Vietnam who loved the tropics. 🌞

    My stepfather who was a Viet Nam vet loved hot weather also.. He loved being in Florida and loved the humidity...

    All's cool Nick....lol....I wore some expensive suits while working, but I don't give a flip anymore.  If people don't like it, have a good day anyway.

     

    I make my own day, I don't let others make it for me.

     

    I do know clam diggers had a cuff, and some sort of V cut on the side.   LOL

    Well Like my family always trying to get me to "cut my tail" off.. My reply is.. "I'm not a fucking corporate dude".. I'm a guitar Slingin' musician. I always hated the Khaki pants , braided belt , Polo shirt style.  It's boring and redundant.. I'm not a carbon copy follower or a neck tie loving oxygen blocking to the brain type either. I love Leather, Denim blue jeans.. Shorts and tee's.. However.. I will wear a suit and tie for Weddings, Dinner parties etcetera... I'm not one dimensional.. I also love my hiking and outdoor camping attire as well.. I'm a man for all occasions and seasons...

    For the record I like both Ghoolie and Nick.

    For some time I thought Ghoolie might be Rich.  I consider Rich a friend.

     

    No matter, we probably need to get a little less personal with the insults and just stick with the topic.

     

    If we can't do that, why even have a Browns message board?  And Nick, that was a pretty bad look.  Clam  diggers? But hey, my typical day uniform is a white T with baggy blue mesh shorts that probably don't get washed enough, so call me guilty as well.

    Hey.. they were cheap and just something to lounge around in..... they're just long ass shorts like Jams in the 80's. Clam diggers normally have a rolled up cuff on the bottom hem. Those are not Clam diggers.. I mean what the difference between capris and Cargo pants?.. None .. one style is made for broads.. Cargo pants for dudes... I'm not entering any beauty contests anytime soon so your all safe.. That said.. You're a pretty cool dude yourself.. But by the same token.. I'm not here to satisfy or please anyone..... If people don't like it... They can kiss my patoot!...

    Yeah, that new pickguard is a great enhancement to the looks.  Warmoth has their insignia on the back of the base of the neck (that's the way it is on the strat that I built) so you'd have to remove the neck to see it.  If I change the pickguard on any of my strats (which I have done) I've gotta remove the neck.

    A bridge pickup in the neck position can add some darkness and beef to the sound.  And darkness is usually not an issue with strats.  :)   I like the idea of the mini humbucker in the bridge as they can sound quite thin sometimes in strats.  My personal favorite pickup is the P90.  I tried 3 Seymour Duncan humbuckers in the neck position of my Les Paul Modern trying to wake up the neck sound.  It was incredibly dark.  I finally put in a Seymour Duncan Phat Cat P90 and it did the trick!!  The LP sounds great now...of course I lost the push/pull coil split on the neck position but it was well worth the trade-off.  I now have 3 guitars with P90's.  My Guild Aristocrat P90 (Chinese built but an absolute great build and great sounding & playing guitar - and it was NOT expensive - I love that friggin' thing.  the only MOD I did to it was to peel off the Made In China sticker  :) ) and an SG Special, which I think I showed you, Sparkling Burgundy.  

    Rock on!

    One remedy that works for thin sounding pickups is changing the capacitors... Most Strats come stock with .033 caps or in some cases .027.. I like .042 .. Its not too dark and still allows the mids and ultra highs to sing through in the EQ.. then In some cases instead of using standard 250k pots I'll use 500k.. Thats why EVH preferred 250k in most cases with Mighty Might pickups that were middle gain PUP's.. Only problem there (with 500k) is you can lose the bottom end.. I want to try 300k pots and see what kind of results I get... Listen to this cover by Phil x the p90 sound is incredible on that SG ... The drummer though has a shit drum sound and his meter is all over the place... He's either ahead or behind the count and his mechanics are sloppy AF...

    it's so much glaring fraud - it HAS to be thrown out. Like I've said in the past - the left lives solely emotionally - so when they are happy to have one position against someone else, it's fine. But when that same position goes against THEM, then they flip positions.

     biden has now done it on the Ukraine and Israel, and Americans who aren't loved by the left.

    Serious damage is being done. biden has admitted, accidentally, that their plan all alone, is to give illegals the vote.

    They will try before November. Dangerous times.

    This nov, we may lose control over our lives, and our freedoms, and our country if we don't win.

    Given the polls FOR Pres Trump - that is a lot of Americans who agree.

    We need to flood the polls in large numbers... No mail in voting.. Go in person...
