halfsane Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Here is this weeks survey. Give your opinions 1. What is the most exciting game in Browns (or your favorite team's) history? The 2007 Week 2 romping of the Bengals is MY favorite. I had an amazing time watching that game, nobody expected anything and they tore it up. I was so drunk after buying shots after each score (something we just did that game out of sheer excitement to be watching it) to celebrate that I had to call off work the next day. So worth it! 2. Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite Browns (or your favorite team's) players of all time? Bernie Kosar, Micheal Jordan, Clay Mathews Honorable mention: Cribbs 3. Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite NFL Players that did not play for the Browns (or your favorite team)? Troy Aikman, Favre, Jared Allen 4. Who are your Top 3 Most Hated Opponent players of the Browns (or your favorite team) Wines Hard, Ben, and just looking at Jeff Reed make me want to punch my tv, what a douche 5. If you did an NCAA bracket, how many teams do you have left in the Sweet 16? I didn't do one this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Here is this weeks survey. Give your opinions My own answers: 1. What is the most exciting game in Browns (or your favorite team's) history? The one I remember is the game against the Steelers where Eric Metcalf returned 2 punt returns for kickoff, the last to win the game. 2. Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite Browns (or your favorite team's) players of all time? Jim Brown, Bernie Kosar,and probably Ozzie Newsome 3. Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite NFL Players that did not play for the Browns (or your favorite team)? Dick Butkus, Johnny Unitas, and, what the heck, Mike Vrabel. 4. Who are your Top 3 Most Hated Opponent players of the Browns (or your favorite team) Have to go with Mean Joe Greene, John Elway, and Charley Johnson. The latter two I have respect for, the former not so much because he truly was a dirty player. 5. If you did an NCAA bracket, how many teams do you have left in the Sweet 16? I didn't do a bracket. But I will say this: I would like the Final Four to be: Ohio State, Kansas State, West Virginia, and Baylor. (though it would actually be nice if Cornell, St. Mary's and Butler made it, I don't think that is possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosar_win Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 1. What is the most exciting game in Browns (or your favorite team's) history? The 2009 victory against the Steelers. Because I got to go to work the next day with a bunch of depressed and embarrassed Steeler fans. Best day at work so far. 2. Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite Browns (or your favorite team's) players of all time? Bernie Kosar and Webster Slaughter - would love to add Josh Cribbs to this list (because I love his attitude and how it translates on the field), but I feel like I am cheating other Brownies... 3. Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite NFL Players that did not play for the Browns (or your favorite team)? Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Jerry Rice 4. Who are your Top 3 Most Hated Opponent players of the Browns (or your favorite team) John Elway, Ray Lewis, Deion Sanders 5.

Well, by favorite team I kinda meant that if the Browns were not your favorite NFL team, name the 3 players from that team that you liked. But, what the heck, go with the flow. (though, if you were from Cleveland why the FRAK would the Bulls be your favorite team? Who is your favorite freedom fighter?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad is a diehard Browns fan, he got me into the them during the Kosar years, but I was too young to appreciate what I was watching at the time. I remember my dad fuming mad when Bill cut Bernie. I was about 8. So the Bulls: Two of my cousins were big into the Bulls and I always looked up to them while growing up and we visited a lot, that was part of the lure. I was never really a basketball fan, I was a Jordan fan and a Bulls fan by association. What are the freedom fighters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBrent Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Here is this weeks survey. Give your opinions 1. What is the most exciting game in Browns (or your favorite team's) history? The last Pittsburgh game was pretty awesome for me. I just graduated Air Force Basic Training and I was in Tech School. It was only the second game I got to watch all year and I was so dissappointed every week I got the results of the game sent to me. To see a 1-11 team play that hard, and just how awesome Josh Cribbs played was pretty exciting. Plus it was me and one other Browns fans watchiing it with a bunch of Steeler fans. Plus the fact that it knocked Pittsburgh out of the playoffs put the icing on the cake. 2. Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite Browns (or your favorite team's) players of all time? Brown, Sipe, Cribbs 3. Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite NFL Players that did not play for the Browns (or your favorite team)? Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Drew Brees 4. Who are your Top 3 Most Hated Opponent players of the Browns (or your favorite team) It's hard to just pick three but I guess Hines Ward, Ben Roethlisberger, and John Elway. Honorable mentions include James Harrisson and Ray Lewis. Living in Montana the Broncos, Cowboys, Steelers, and Packers are probably the most common favorite teams here. I can't stand Denver fans and I can't stand Elway. 5. If you did an NCAA bracket, how many teams do you have left in the Sweet 16? 7 left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Here is this weeks survey. Give your opinions 1. What is the most exciting game in Browns (or your favorite team's) history? When the Browns beat the Raiders, in the L.A. Coliseum around '93. Eric Metcalf took the pitch around left tackle to beat the L.A. Raiders as time expired. I was there, and was taking so much crap all game from the Raider idiots, and it was just awesome at the end. Tommy Vardell, and Vinny Testeverde had big days in the comeback win. The next week, we beat the 49ers on Monday night football. 2. Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite Browns (or your favorite team's) players of all time? Clay Matthews, Eric Turner, Bernie Kosar 3. Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite NFL Players that did not play for the Browns (or your favorite team)? Dan Fouts, Eric Dickerson, Jack Youngblood 4. Who are your Top 3 Most Hated Opponent players of the Browns (or your favorite team) John Elway, Boomer Esiason, Jerome Bettis 5. If you did an NCAA bracket, how many teams do you have left in the Sweet 16? Have never seen a complete game of basketball in my 42yrs of life.

In theory: a person that fights for the liberty of his country. You know, like in our history, the likes of Nathan Hale, Patrick Henry, George Washington. In other countries the likes of Simon Bolivar, Lech Walesa. In some cases, there may be people that we disagree with as being "freedom fighters" but who perceive themselves as freedom fighters (where we may think they are in fact simply a faction that wishes to bring their own form of tyranny and oppression to their people....Fidel Castro, Che Guevera the VietCong, the Sandinistas, even the likes of Osama Bin Laden who may think of themselves as freedom fighters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was analogizing that a Cleveland fan having Michael Jordan as a favorite player was tantamount to an American having Osama Bin Laden as a favorite "freedom fighter".

Who are your Top 3 Most Favorite NFL Players that did not play for the Browns (or your favorite team)? I have a soft spot for the Bucs because they were the first team I ever saw play as a kid on a Disney holiday back in 81.

The only thing that MJ could do better, in my opinion, is hit the outside shot...and at winning those titles.
