Survey Monday October 4
-
Here are this week's survey questions:
1. Now that we have had 4 weeks to assess the situation, which one of the Browns "units" needs the most "shoring up": the QB/RBs or the TEs/WRs or the OL or the DL or the LBs or the DBs?
2. To me The Ryder Cup is a completely overhyped useless endeavor. Do you agree?
3. The Cleveland Cavaliers start training camp this week. How do you think they will do this year without whatshisname?
4. Sports Illustrated did a recent report stating that one of the most important weeks in sports/news/entertainment history occurred in October 1975 where the following events occurred in the same week or two: The Thrilla in Manilla, the debut of Saturday Night Live, the Reds and Red Sox played the 7 game WS highlighted by Carlton Fisk's HR, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton were married...again.
Aside from this can you think of a 1 or 2 week period in which significant historical/sporting events occurred that you fondly recall?
5. The 15 Finalists for Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were announced last week. They are in alphabetical order: Alice Cooper, The Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi, Chic, Neile Diamond, Donovan, Dr. John, The J. Geils Band, LL Cool J, Darlene Love, Laura Nyro, Donna Summer, Joe Tex, Tom Waits, Chuck Willis.
I believe only 6 at most are to be selected. Which 6 would you put into the RRHOF?
1. Wide Receivers and DBs
2. I think if the USA won it more often like we used to, it would be enjoyed by more people.
3. I think they'll be competitive and fun to watch.
4. Not the kind of thing I usually remember.
5. Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Neil Diamond, Donna Summer, and The Beastie Boys. I had to go back and listen to some Donovan (I own one album of his) and based on the stupid grin that found its way onto my face when I was listening to it, he's got my vote. What a goofy and fun time that was in my life. LOLOL.

So, uh, were you Saffron or Fonteen to Donovan's mellow yellow.

One good thing about this class of nominees is that if both AC and Donovan make it they can recreate their duet performance of Billion Dollar Babies:

Here is another funny thing about this year's nominees is that I attended a concert at the Akron Rubber Bowl in 1972 which featured Dr. John, J. Geils Band, and Alice Cooper. Here is a blurb I found on a website about that show:
August 5, 1972 to be exact, my cousin, her friend and my pal Mike H., were headed back to the Rubber Bowl for the Alice Cooper School’s Out show. Supporting acts were Dr. John and the J. Geils Band.
***
Dr. John was better than I expected and prior to J. Geils starting their session lead singer Pete Wolfe came out on a Harley-Davidson, parked it center stage, bellowed something now forgotten to the crowd and it was on! I was a J. Geils Band fan from that day onward.
***
Alice Cooper was great. He had all the original members and the stage act was more than I expected. The hanging, the snake, ripping up huge Alice posters and throwing them into the crowd, throwing handfuls of dollar bills into the crowd and the musical performance just kicked ass all the way. The highlight was during the School’s Out encore when a helicopter flew overhead, started slowly circling the perimeter of the stadium and then strangely these white things started flowing out of the copter and floating down to the crowd.
***
My pal Mike was lucky enough to catch one and they turned out to be faux ‘lace’ panties with A.C. ‘embroidered’ on them.
***
I also caught one of the panties at that show. We were only probably 20-25 feet from the front of the stage
-
I also found this where it says that the only other time that the "panty dropping" from a helicopter stunt was done at any Alice Cooper concert besides the Rubber Bowl was at the Hollywood Bowl:
July 23rd `72 Hollywood, CA Hollywood Bowl (w/ Capt. Beyond and JoJo Gunne)
The famous `Live at the Hollywood Bowl`/`We`re All Crazier The You Are` bootleg recorded. Wolfman Jack introduces the band from a camel.
One of the most well-known Alice Cooper concert stories is the Hollywood Bowl show '72 where hundreds of the paper panties were dropped on the audience from a helicopter. Supposedly the helicopter pilot that they hired to do that was fined for flying too low.
Everything was a decadent waste of money. That was one of the purposes. I, what was the most decadent waste of money? I would say maybe the most decadent waste of money was the dropping of the panties - 18,000 pair of panties from an airplane on all the people who came to see him at the Hollywood Bowl. It ended up costing about $100,000 to do the panty drop, because it was illegal to do it, and the pilot went to jail for a couple of months, and we had to support his family, and pay for his career. And here they are, ladies and gentlemen, the paper panties.

Footage from the show was shot to be used on Top Of The Pops as a change from the performance that had been using for weeks.
Elton John was in the audience

Here is a copy of the ticket to that famous Rubber Bowl show:
Check out that price: $4.50 to see Alice Cooper, J. Geils, and Dr. John
What do you think that would cost today?

What happened to Furnier? He would copy and print this ticket!

1. DB's have been manhandled past two games. Definitely needs some shoring.
2. Yep. Then again I am not a golfer
3. They will overachieve if they play .500 ball
4. June 1997. Wife and i were married on the same day Tyson munched on Evander's outer ear portions. This foreshadowed the misery that lie ahead...
5. Alice Cooper, Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi, Dr John, J.Geils, Tom Waits

That reminds me that my wife and I were married on the same day that Carl Lewis was going for his 4th Gold medal to tie Jesse Owens. I remember this because we were watching it in our hotel room. You might ask "why were you watching the Olympics on your Wedding night, didn't you have something better to do?". Well, yes, but the hotel was to deliver this "Honeymoon package" to our room, consisting of a bottle of champagne, fruits, etc. But they were taking their sweet blessed time about delivering it, and we figured we better wait for it before we "got busy". So, in the meantime while waiting for the champagne, we watched the Olympics. What can I say. (We are still together 26 years later thanks)
5. Alice Cooper, Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi, Dr John, J.Geils, Tom Waits
A lot of us are thinking somewhat along the same lines. AC, BJ, and Waits seem to be pretty unanimous choices.

OK, so, as Paul Harvey said, tell us "the rest of the story". Did you go out with her again and hit a triple ..or a homer...perhaps?
I mean, even getting to second base on your first date seems pretty good, all things considered.

Here are this week's survey questions:
1. Now that we have had 4 weeks to assess the situation, which one of the Browns "units" needs the most "shoring up": the QB/RBs or the TEs/WRs or the OL or the DL or the LBs or the DBs?
2. To me The Ryder Cup is a completely overhyped useless endeavor. Do you agree?
3. The Cleveland Cavaliers start training camp this week. How do you think they will do this year without whatshisname?
4. Sports Illustrated did a recent report stating that one of the most important weeks in sports/news/entertainment history occurred in October 1975 where the following events occurred in the same week or two: The Thrilla in Manilla, the debut of Saturday Night Live, the Reds and Red Sox played the 7 game WS highlighted by Carlton Fisk's HR, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton were married...again.
Aside from this can you think of a 1 or 2 week period in which significant historical/sporting events occurred that you fondly recall?
5. The 15 Finalists for Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were announced last week. They are in alphabetical order: Alice Cooper, The Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi, Chic, Neile Diamond, Donovan, Dr. John, The J. Geils Band, LL Cool J, Darlene Love, Laura Nyro, Donna Summer, Joe Tex, Tom Waits, Chuck Willis.
I believe only 6 at most are to be selected. Which 6 would you put into the RRHOF?

WRs...they aren't getting open.
2. To me The Ryder Cup is a completely overhyped useless endeavor. Do you agree?
It's overhyped for sure, but not useless. It shows how pampered our US golfers are.
3. The Cleveland Cavaliers start training camp this week. How do you think they will do this year without whatshisname?
43-39

Tragically, the 9-11 WTC attack & the NFL unveiling the huge flags at every stadium across the fields. Very nice patriotic tribute.

If that latter was true I am wondering why she didn't go knob gobbling the minute you got in your car?

It is not a fond memory, but i'll never forget the drama of October 17,1989 when the earthquake hit San Francisco during the World Series between Oakland and the Giants. Al Michaels announced that they were having an earthquake during the broadcast. i popped a tape in the VCR and recorded all the drama. There was rescue dramas that played out for the next couple of days.
i think that week should get some consideration.
