The Gipper Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 OK, to answer my own survey: 1. Given what happened exactly 30 years ago today, I ask this question: Do you believe in miracles? I do not believe in supernatural occurrences if that is the definition of a miracle. I do think that occasionally, the seemingly impossible can occur, but those are really just the right confluence of events happening. It was seemingly impossible for a bunch of college kids to beat the veteran, machine-like entity that was the Soviet hockey team, but it was not supernatural. A seeming miracle would be for me to win the lottery this week. It would be extremely lucky, but not miraculous. 2. Spring training begins in baseball this week. Is there any enthusiasm out there at all for baseball? None on my part. I am angry at the bums who own the Indians for giving away their team, and at baseball for allowing the system of allowing teams to buy championships. Sorry. 3. Today is George Washington's Birthday. If they were to add another bust to Mt. Rushmore, who would you propose? It would definitely be FDR. I have done a study on this and every organization that ranks the Presidents has FDR ranked at 1,2, or 3. Following FDR would be Wilson, Jackson, Polk, Ike, Truman. 4. The US beat Canada in Olympic hockey to spur what is sure to be a great rivalry in the future. In your opinion,, excluding any Browns opponents or Ohio State- Michigan, what is the best rivalry in sports. In American Sports behind OSU/Mich. it would be in my opinion Duke-North Carolina in basketball. Only 8 miles apart and both schools at the pinnacle of their sport. Texas/Oklahoma is the #3 rivalry. Money has created this rivalry Red Sox/Yankees In international sports, I understand the most bitter rivals are Argentina/Brazil in soccer; England/Scotland in soccer; Australia/New Zealand in rugby; Korea/Japan in martial arts and India/Pakistan in cricket 5. In a completely un-American move the officials in Vancouver shut off the sale of beer last night. What is your favorite foreign beer, Canadian or otherwise? Certainly it would be Guiness (using the term "beer" in its broadest sense), and Harp's. Then Negro Modelo and Molson Golden. Though, in reality, I am not that big a beer drinker.

Bob806 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 1. Given what happened exactly 30 years ago today, I ask this question: Do you believe in miracles? No...because the Browns have been due for some kind of miracle for a looooong time. 2. Spring training begins in baseball this week. Is there any enthusiasm out there at all for baseball? Not yet. The Tribe has fallen back into the Gabe Paul/Phil Seghi era. 3. Today is George Washington's Birthday. If they were to add another bust to Mt. Rushmore, who would you propose? Reagan 4. The US beat Canada in Olympic hockey to spur what is sure to be a great rivalry in the future.

DumAssWhiteGuy Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 1. Given what happened exactly 30 years ago today, I ask this question: Do you believe in miracles? If you're talking about burning bush type miracles, probably not but 'm amazed by the miraculous turnarounds seen in sports teams outside of Cleveland. 2. Spring training begins in baseball this week. Is there any enthusiasm out there at all for baseball? I used to love baseball but the Yankees and greedy owners have ruined it for me. It is a sad winter for a Tribe fan when the biggest move they make is bring back some strike out king power hitter who wasn't good enough for the Tribe 7 or 8 years ago when they cut him loose. 3. Today is George Washington's Birthday. If they were to add another bust to Mt. Rushmore, who would you propose? Ronnie Reagan! Really underappreciated and didn't take any crap from any one. 4. The US beat Canada in Olympic hockey to spur what is sure to be a great rivalry in the future. In your opinion,, excluding any Browns opponents or Ohio State- Michigan, what is the best rivalry in sports. Army/Navy game, although Navy has dominated this rivalry for awhile. 5. In a completely un-American move the officials in Vancouver shut off the sale of beer last night. What is your favorite foreign beer, Canadian or otherwise? German beer is the best by far! My favorite is the "blonde" wheat beer as they call it over there - and they finally sell it her in the U.S.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 To me, putting Ronald Reagan on Mt. Rushmore would be tantamount to inducting a really good cheerleader into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is being done by a family name Ziolkowski. According to their website, the work on the sculpture has been going on since 1948! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
