Thomas Jefferson in the top 10, hmmmmmm. Plus is it Muhammad or Muhammad Ali?

 

Those top whatever questions can lead to interesting debates or differences of opinion. Hitler? A by product of an unhappy and slightly insane German who sat in the trenches during the rather failed conclusion to "The Great War" later renamed WWI.

My own answers

 

 

1. What is the Greatest moment in Browns history that you have ever witnessed?

 

Winning the 1964 NFL Championship 27-0 over the Colts. Gary Collins 3 TD catches. Jim Brown running. Yes, I am old enough to have witnessed it (actually...listened on radio as back they they blacked out the game....then seeing it replayed on TV the following Monday Night...in black and white of course)

 

 

2. What was the Greatest Team Ever in each of the 4 major sports:

NFL....tough one...NOT the 1972 Dolphins despite being undefeated. I will say 1985 Bears. They were the most intimidating team I have ever seen.

MLB....1927 Yankees

NBA...another tough one. NOT the Bulls. IMO one of the Lakers team with Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Perkins, Cooper etc.

NHL... Edmonton Oilers of Gretzky, Messier etc.

 

 

3. Who is the Greatest Player ever in each of the 4 major sports:

NFL...Jim Brown

MLB...Babe Ruth

NBA...LeBron James...yep

NHL...Wayne Gretzky

I see this as a question of which humans have had the greatest impact on human history....good or bad. I think the following could be said to have perhaps had more impact in human history than some of those named above:

Buddha

Ghengis Khan

Julius and Augustus Caesar

Christopher Columbus

Moses (assuming he was real...which he may not have been)

[mjp28]

4. What is the Greatest Movie Ever: Narrow it down to one

 

Casablanca

 

5. What is the one movie that like everyone else has seen that you have never seen?

 

On The Waterfront.

 

(also never saw The Hangover)

I've always liked Casablanca, bores my wife. But pick one? GWTW? The Wizard of Oz?

 

Now on the Hangover series Hangover II is the best of the three, now a college classic.

4. What is the Greatest Movie Ever: Narrow it down to one

 

Casablanca

 

5. What is the one movie that like everyone else has seen that you have never seen?

 

On The Waterfront.

 

(also never saw The Hangover)

 

1) Browns Double OT win against the Jets- I was in the stands. BTW, the worst was Red Right 88- I was also in the stands, the play happened right in front of me.

 

2) Not going to debate it- just a matter of opinion.

 

3) Regarding LeBron, not so fast my friend. Ask me again in three years. Close, no cigar YET. Should pass Jordan's playoff scoring mark this year. But he'll need two more seasons averaging 25 ppg to pass him in regular season points. He's already passed Michael in rebounds and assists. (don't forget Jordan took time off to try and play baseball) Now I do agree if LBJ can play at the level he's at for another 5 years or so- it's not going to be up for debate. Staying healthy for that time span, Kareem's points record will be in jeopardy. As to being the best all around basketball player- well LeBron already is the GOAT in that category.

 

4) Sorry if I just don't get movies like Casablanca (and I've watched it at least 6 times). Ditto Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind is B-O-R-I-N-G. Give me a nice action adventure flick. Can't narrow it down to just one movie. From this list I'll pick Shawshank Redemption, Saving Private Ryan, and Lord of the Rings (probably watched LOTR more than any other, have the Blu-Rays). http://www.imdb.com/list/ls055592025/

 

5) Ha- from the IMD list I've never seen 64 of their top 100 movies- shows you how many I sit down to watch. Perusing that list jogged my memory on a few. Annie Hall was the only movie I though sucked so bad- I ever walked out on. Pulp Fiction blew dead worms too. Did like Tarantino's Kill Bill though- if you think I have a Quentin bias.

[Tour2ma]

1. What is the Greatest momlopped vs.ent in Browns history that you have ever witnessed?
The '64 Chanpionship, of course... but I want to say that I "witnessed it" on the radio.

2. What was the Greatest Team Ever in each of the 4 major sports:
NFL - '85 Bears
MLB - '54 Indians... flopped vs. the Brooklyn Dodgers in the WS, but their record win percentage still stands.
NBA - tough choice between the Jordan Bulls and the Magic Lakers, but gotta go with the latter... pick any of their early-80's teams.
NHL - My Broad Street Bullies of course! The '74-75 edition lead the league in points and won the Cup for the 2nd consecutive year


3. Who is the Greatest Player ever in each of the 4 major sports:
NFL - JB - I's biased to be sure, but Jim was a man apart on the field...
MLB - tougher one... but I'll go with Barry Bonds... juicer or not he was a complete player that excelled at all facets of the game.
NBA - Jordan... easily brought the greatest, single-player impact of any player ever...
NHL - Gretsky... unparalleled instincts with stick skills to match

4. What is the Greatest Movie Ever: Narrow it down to one

Raging Bull...

5. What is the one movie that like everyone else has seen that you have never seen?
According to IMDb's Top 250list list it's #21, City of God.

According to Rotten's Top 100 it's #3, The Third Man.

[The Gipper]

 

1) Browns Double OT win against the Jets- I was in the stands. BTW, the worst was Red Right 88- I was also in the stands, the play happened right in front of me.

 

2) Not going to debate it- just a matter of opinion.

This is a survey Larry...it is all supposed to be a matter of opinion.

 

3) Regarding LeBron, not so fast my friend. Ask me again in three years. Close, no cigar YET. Should pass Jordan's playoff scoring mark this year. But he'll need two more seasons averaging 25 ppg to pass him in regular season points. He's already passed Michael in rebounds and assists.

You gave your opinion here..why not above?

 

4) Sorry if I just don't get movies like Casablanca (and I've watched it at least 6 times). Ditto Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind is B-O-R-I-N-G. Give me a nice action adventure flick.

Now I see why you didn't want to give opinions above...because when you do they are so WRONG!!!

At least as far as Casablanca and Pulp Fiction are concerned...but I basically agree with you about GWTW.

[The Gipper]

MLB - '54 Indians... flopped vs. the Brooklyn Dodgers in the WS, but their record win percentage still stands.

 

It was actually the NY Giants....but, yes, that '54 Tribe team could have been considered the best of all time...if the results of that WS was reversed. I can't necessarily see a team that did not win the title being given the BOAT designation.

Think about the what...late 90s Seattle Mariners who won 116 games....and I am not sure they got out of the first round of the playoffs. Also think of last year's Warriors....and the 2007 Pats.

 

Interesting that the teams with the greatest winning pct in history in each of those 3 sports, and none of them won the Championship....a trend that went back to the '54 Tribe.

https://www.moviefone.com/2014/04/20/best-sports-movies/

BTW-for the history buffs out there, the movie Ben Hur was taken from a novel by Lew Wallace a Union Major General under the command of Grant at the battles of Ft. Donelson and Shiloh.

 

Also there's a a late-20's, silent version that's pretty remarkable for its day... including the chariot race. It pops up late at nite on TCM every few months and is worth a time shift.

[mjp28]

Greatest sports movie ever, the original MAJOR LEAGUE naturally. Don't mess with Jobu or Cleveland.

[Tour2ma]

Greatest sports movie ever, the original MAJOR LEAGUE naturally. Don't mess with Jobu or Cleveland.

 

Raging Bull can take this one as well, but if I set it aside for being so much more than "Sports movie", then I think Bull Durham gets my nod.

You sort of have to give a year for these. Maybe I didn't clarify this. I basically meant for one year, or one era...I didn't really mean over a 100 year periord.
