    Hmm, didn't know it started there. I do know that it went defunct, and that it was HQed in Ft. Lauderdale in 1971.

    Wow, I had no Idea they were headquartered right under my nose here in Dayton. There were several in town. No surprise they went out of business- the burgers were pretty bad.

    Steve, if Haslam wants art to imitate life, or life imitate art- he should have Costner announce the first pick May 8th.

    Per the article, the "Big Barney" actually predated the Big Mac. The Big Mac was a ripoff of the Big Barney.

    I don't recall the burgers being any worse than any other chains.

  • I am organizing the Naples Browns Backers to go see it as a group.

    I hear Jennifer Garner shows her bush.

    Z, if yall have room for one more, I'd be grateful. Let me know when. It would beat going solo, for I doubt any of my "associates" here would be willing to sit through a Garner movie. I'm also on paid vacation till October, so I'll happily buy you a beer or few. Something about swine flu, a coma, and not being allowed to swim anymore.

    I am assuming that Manners big boy predated them both.

  • I went and watched it last night. It was ok, I'll say above average. By all accounts a good movie, but I left with a small feeling of disappointment because of how it was being hyped as the best sports movie ever made. I wouldn't even say it's the best sports movie Costner has ever starred in. When it came down to draft time and everyone was on the clock it was cool, but there is a love interest which, in my opinion, completely pulled away from the movie, and I also felt like some pieces of the back story were cheesy. Plus the first overall pick belonged to (SPOILER.... but not really a spoiler because you figure this out in the first 5 minutes of the film) the Seahawks. Who we all know actually won the super bowl this year. I figure that decision came down to where it was cheaper to film, but still. They could have shoved Buffalo in that spot (a team that appears in the film) and used the Seahawks else where.

    I'll give it a 7 out of 10. I was planning on seeing it again this afternoon, but I was just underwhelmed enough to wait to see it again when it comes out on Blu Ray.

  • I really enjoyed this movie. There was a scene towards the beginning that gave me goosebumps about how Cleveland is a sports town, and we all bleed the colors of our teams, especially Brown and Orange. We don't have the hot babes, the nice weather, or the wealth of other cities, but we have our sports teams. Overall this was a great movie in my eyes... MANNN that Browns' GM was ballsy haha.. I'd definitely recommend it.

    I only saw two people in there with browns gear, my buddy Viktor (Derek Anderson jersey lol) who came with me, and a guy who sat in front of us (William Green jersey)

    I read about this in a Bleacher Report somewhere - and thought this was a true representation of the fans we have, and now cut out of the film....

    from the comments - "Wouldn’t want the delicate, left leaning folks to feel uneasy" right woody?

    BTW the "Barnbuster" is a Whopper rip-off.... or is it the other way around?

  • The movie theater in Canton, OH- Tinseltown, is where we just got home from watching it! It was sold out. It was the hottest I've ever been in a movie theater too, I'm blaming it on all the hot blooded browns fans there! Nearly everyone was decked out in Browns gear and there were "Here we go Brownies, here we go- Woof, Woof!"

    We all laughed at the funny stuff and cheered when they showed the Hall of Fame!

    We all loved the movie, I just hope we can live up to it in less than a month!

  • I'm out of it on burger joints I guess. Typically I have to go local mom and pop around here to get a good greasy burger. When in Cleveland, I've been to Red Robin several times, and was at a Brown Bag Burger once. Never been to Five Guys but they more recently opened one up in the Youngstown area. In-and-Out Burger...first time I heard of them was when I was in LA. Didn't get a chance to go though. I've not seen any of those anywhere in Ohio.

    From the Youngstown area? I live on the southside across the way from struthers. As far as burgers go, I dig five guys, just not the overkill with the grease they ar famous for... I'm not up on my burger joints though, not a whole lot to choose from in the yo.

  • Saw it tonight with 40+ Browns Backers. It was a lot of fun, but no spoilers from me ... Just see it ... Pays homage to Cleveland and what is to be a Browns fan ... And Jim Brown and Bernie made the final scene. We were cheering the whole through, lots of fun. And Jennifer Garner's bush was a lot more untamed than I would have imagined.

    Z

  • Yeah Z, DAMN DAT BUSH WACK!

  • I wager that Garner shows nothing more than perhaps a sexy lingerie shot. I do not believe that she has ever even showed her tits in any movie.

    There's a distant shot of her in the shower, but you don't even know if it's her. Could be body double.

    As for the film, while it has its Hollywoodized moments, and a couple of unbelievable plot points, it's still a good flick in my opinion.

  • off topic again:

    White Castle ( The WC Steakhouse) opened it's first restaurant in Witchita, Kansas in 1922.

    Current HQ in CBUS where they also have a manufacturing entity that constructs components for their unique style stores.

    "In jan 2014 Time labelled the WC slider as the most influential burger of all time."

    we call them belly bombers. eat 3 or 4 of them on top of an afternoon of drinking and open the bomb bay doors.

    Funny you would say that.

    The initial script had the movie based on the Buffalo Bills.
