  • With this one, you can see that I have been Down to the Crossroads. Yes, that's me.

  • (note...yes, they did NOT have cell phones when this show was made)

  • Here are this week's survey questions. Please give your opinions:

    1. Despite the losses what is the silver lining that you see with this Browns team?

    Youth. Weeden has the arm to make all the throws, and I think the mistakes we're seeing now are coachable. He's used to the window that Blackmon vs. Big XII CB's gave him; he will not get that here. If he works on his timing this year, develops chemistry with his receivers, then look out. Our offense should look sick.

    Haslam. I'm ready for the dude to clean house. Bye Holmgren. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, you fat fuck.

    2. The Texans, Falcons, and Cardinals are the only undefeated teams remaining in the NFL after 3 games. Do you think these 3 are Contenders or Pretenders for the NFL Title?

    I think the Texans and Falcons are for real. I'm not sure about the Cardinals, though they did beat the Pats.

    3. Have you ever visited a location because you saw it in a movie...or TV show? If so, where?

    No.

    4. Have you ever visited a location because of a song lyric or album. If so, where?

    No.

    5. What is the most valuable antique or collectible you own? (been watching too much Pawn Stars or Pickers)

    Probably not worth very much, but I have Jim Brown and Don Shula signed footballs. Don't really have anything of value outside of that, my desk, and my computer.

  • Great pics Gip...I was fortunate enough to visit Cheers in Boston in 98 during My Sisters graduation week when she graduated from Boston University.

  • Italian Village Restaurant. Across street from Ferris Beuller parking deck. I ate there.

  • Many are more familiar with this version:

  • Oh, yes, one other place I have been that was both a song/movie: Brighton and Beachy Head, England, from Quadrophenia by The Who:

    I think the roster is getting closer to NFL-caliber.

    2. The Texans, Falcons, and Cardinals are the only undefeated teams remaining in the NFL after 3 games. Do you think these 3 are Contenders or Pretenders for the NFL Title?

    Texans are for real- I think they were the best in the AFC last year, until Schaub got hurt.

    3. Have you ever visited a location because you saw it in a movie...or TV show? If so, where?

    No

    4. Have you ever visited a location because of a song lyric or album. If so, where?

    Yes....54th Street Bridge song, NYC

    5. What is the most valuable antique or collectible you own? (been watching too much Pawn Stars or Pickers)

    Original "elf" Browns pennant from the 60s
