Here is this week's survey:

1. The NBA playoffs began this past weekend. Who do you WANT to win? Who do you think WILL win?

OKC / Los Angeles

2. The NHL playoffs began this past week. Who do you WANT to win? Who do you think WILL win?

Buffalo / Vancouver

3. The Indians surprisingly have like the best record in the AL. Do you think they can keep it up and compete for a playoff spot?

At the beginning of the season I didn't think they had the starting pitching to compete but all of their young starters have been great. They hit pretty well, play good defense, have good starting pitching, and have a great bullpen. Sure thay can compete.

4. Who would you like to see the Browns (or your particular favorite team if not Browns as I know we have some Bengals and Steeler fans here) take in the first round of the draft?

My preference is Fairley, but I would be very happy with Dareus, Green, or Peterson as well.

5. Do you have plans for a summer vacation? If so, where?

Nope

Bonus: Any special plans for Easter?

Church, Family, and a feast.

Which part of this is Holy Week??????????? when most of the worlds people think otherwise......just food for thought...........something America has been lacking a long time though!

Riding the Harley to Oregon in August through Strugis is the BIG summer vacation

Anybody but Miami....probably Lakers or Spurs will win.

2. The NHL playoffs began this past week. Who do you WANT to win? Who do you think WILL win?

Rooting for the Canucks....I think they will win vs. Montreal

3. The Indians surprisingly have like the best record in the AL. Do you think they can keep it up and compete for a playoff spot?

They can compete for the AL Central for sure.

4. Who would you like to see the Browns (or your particular favorite team if not Browns as I know we have some Bengals and Steeler fans here) take in the first round of the draft?

I have said the same thing for years....the best LB available. We are too slow, need a difference maker on defense real real bad.

5. Do you have plans for a summer vacation? If so, where?

Probably go camping down around Shenandoah NP or Michigan's UP

Bonus: Any special plans for Easter?

Cookout, as my 2 oldest will come up from OSU to celebrate Easter and my birthday.

Also Rich...I'm not a real religious person, but Easter is global. Yes, Catholicism isn't the largest religion in the world, but it's important to MANY.

I am not a churchgoer either, but I do recognize that this week is the week that Good Friday and Easter are celebrated so I went along with it for lack of a better label.

Riding the Harley to Oregon in August through Strugis is the BIG summer vacation

Yes. Yes it is.

Not an NHL Fan & am totally ignorant

Depends. Far too often cool weather performers "wilt" in the summer heat. We'll see.

4. Who would you like to see the Browns (or your particular favorite team if not Browns as I know we have some Bengals and Steeler fans here) take in the first round of the draft?

Browns...Peterson

Yes. North Carolina's Outerbanks the last week in July.

Visit with Grandchildren. It gets NO better!

5. Do you have plans for a summer vacation? If so, where?

I was planning on a OUter Banks vacation, but because of conflicts I think that is likely to change. I have to take my son up to Ithaca NY so instead we may just do some days in the Catskills or Poconos. I have traveled all around this country, but I have never gone there.

Plus I have a wedding in Philadelphia later this summer.

I did give up my Outer Banks week. Perhaps I will just do some traveling around Eastern PA, lower NY in conjunction with my nephew's wedding. I have been researching it and there is more to see there than people may realize including this, the site of the famous original Woodstock Festival:

http://www.bethelwoodscenter.org/home.aspx

It is the site of Max Yasgur's Farm. Apparently they couldn't use the term "Woodstock" in conjunction with the location because the name was still owned by the original promoters of Woodstock who still have their own thing going.

3. Not a chance (but I hope I'm wrong)

5. Summer is the busiest time of the year for me at work so I don't have plans. I just got back from visiting my family Ohio. Maybe I'll take a few days in the fall.

Easter: I used to do the entire Easter thing: Coloring eggs, baking, special food, decorations, new clothes, church, church, and more church. Now I'm in a "keep it simple" phase so I'll just be visiting with family.

You all have a great Holiday........and always keep thinking that we humans are all in this together and we all all want the same things

PEACE.......Happy Easter

Now, I'm not one to blow my own horn as the guys in the Baseball League will tell you (1st place by 15 points ... 49 points ahead of Rich), but picking Dallas to win before the playoffs started was pretty damn cool ... and if the Canucks win at home in Game 7, then I nailed both champions ... in April.

Leave it to the NFL to hold a lockout when I'm this hot ... please come back, Browns, I was about to predict you all the way to the SB!

Zombo

I am hoping you nail them both Zombo.

Although the Bruins have not won since 1972, do we really need another title out of Boston? I believe if the Bruins win that Boston will be the only city in which all the teams from that city will have won a title since the year 2000, or at least had a team win a title in each of the major sports. Vancouver has gone since 1915 without one.

The Gipper

I did some more research on it. Towns that have won in each sport since the new millenium, the year 2000.

We do have 3 towns that have won a title since then in every sport in which they have a team, but these towns are only "One Horse Towns" We have Green Bay in football, San Antonio in basketball, and Raleigh in hockey.

But we also have LA/Anaheim which has won a title in all three sports in which it has a team: Lakers in basketball, Angels in baseball, Mighty Ducks in Hockey. LA has no NFL team and has not had one since the millenium.

And Boston has titles in three sports so far: Pats in football, Celtics in basketball, Red Sox in baseball,

....and if the Bruins win, they would complete the set.

And yet the fans from Boston would still whine and cry "poor, poor, pitiful me" over their sports team. Asswipes.

I don't think San Antonio qualifies as a "one horse town" .

Uh, yea.Hello, McFly, is anybody home? This guy obviously needs to start reading my trivia threads. Believe it or not, you actually learn something in those.

A "One Horse Town" yes, simply refers to the fact that a particular city has only one team in any of the major sports leagues.

If you had read the trivia...which was only withing the past month, you would have known that MLB has -0- "one horse towns", that the NFL has 2: Green Bay and Jax. The NBA has Portland, Sacramento, Salt Lake, San Antonio, Memphis, OK City, and Orlando. The NHL has one horse towns in Columbus and Raleigh, and in Canada in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Montreal, and Ottawa.

And FYI, I know all about San Antonio. My sister in law lives there, and my daughter is likely to go to college there at Trinity U. (that was in another trivia thread).
