    OK then-Back we go to Diplomatico Ron Reserva Exclusiva-best sipping rum ever made. And don't ruin it with watering down rocks.😁

    Thanks for the reminder Ag. I'll have to try and find a bottle. Forgot which one you preferred when we got into a discussion about rum. Don't know if it's available here. State of Ohio usually won't bother importing something unless they can move 10,000 cases of it. I have to head south of the border to Kentucky to buy one of my faves real Senior Curacao from the island. The domestic knockoff stuff is pure crap by comparison. BTW, the Orange version is the Board's traditional pregame shooter at our Tailgates.  

    Did try a bottle of Ghoolie's Zaya, and it's OK, though on the sweet side. Though some reports say it's not the same stuff when they moved production from Guatemala to Trinidad. Also sort of deceptive advertizing. Used to say "aged 12 years", now it's just 12 aged rums.  Hmmmmm.......

    Diplomatico is aged 12 years in oak casks. The one I wish I could find is Diplomatico Ambassador which is aged 12 years in oak and then two additional years in Perez Ximenez Sherry casks from Spain to add a special flavor too it. Just can't find it here. But that one is about $200 so I'd rather have about 6 of the Reserva Exclusivas instead.😁

    🙂 did see it's available- a quick look at winesearcher.com, you got the cash- we got the booze, as I found out on my visit to Total Wine when I visited Houston to see another Brown's loss .  (they don't carry it, BTW, but I bet they'd order it for you) You have the price right Bill.   BUT- it follows the hoorta's logarithmic law of diminishing returns. Can't be 6X better than Exclusiva. Just like IMHO those guys with unlimited budgets paying over $1,000 for a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle  bourbon on the secondary market. Or triple that for Remy Louis XIII cognac. LOL, as one of my friends signs above his wine cellar says-  "No one respects age- unless it's bottled".

    That may be because way back IIRC, Coors was unpasteurized. Might not be the case anymore. Also economics of scale in a negative way. Can't keep all those tens of million gallons of beer cold.  🙁  

    In a similar way- I have only one rule when it comes to beer- ABM- anything but Miller. Miller High Life is in clear bottles because it's so processed it's totally DOA. The reason amber bottles beer is usually in is to protect it from sunlight, so it doesn't go "skunky".  You probably could set a six pack of Miller out on a beach in Florida for a week, and it wouldn't harm it. 

    One thing about Coors back in the day is that they would send people out to places that sold their beer check and see if it was in the cooler or on the shelf. If it turned out to be warm on the shelf they would cut that place off. I think that's how Bob Evans used to be, only sewing to places they could deliver fresh.

    Coors was a big, big deal at first especially when they started to come East people would do all kinds of exotic things do get a few cases. Now it's just another beer if you like it fine if you don't eh. I don't really care for it besides there are a ton of beers out there now especially at these beer emporiums now all kinds of domestic, imported and craft brews.

    And at the time Coors had cult status here, you couldn't get it, Genny had the same kind of popularity out west. Local Brewers that hit it big.  Now it's all the microbrews. Quality beer for the masses.. Cheers!

  • ...been thinking about the whole Peyton Manning idea.

    Although I'm against hiring someone to such a lofty office who just walked off the playing field.......the other side of the coin is that this particular person would most probably favour building an offense with a passing attack as a priority.  (I would love that mindset at the top of our FO)

  • The only thing that makes any connection to me here is Haslem wants Manning's independent opinion on the right QB at top pick? Unless am missing somebody here? P. Manning would be the 1st player to not VP or GM a team not played with? Ozzie Newsome,John Elway,Reggie McKenzie,Doug Williams,Rick Spielman & John Lynch are all players that now GM their former teams?(missing anybody?) 2 former coaches, Tom Coughlin now VP at Jags. Jon Robinson now at Tenn is VP/GM..weird, strange, is both Singletary & Manning were both in C-town but that's all anybody knows..odd there's no leaks out there yet(Colts & Denver both could certainly use a P.Manning in house)

    I am not sure that Rick Spielman actually ever played in the NFL.   You may be confusing him with his brother Chris....who of course was an outstanding LB at OSU and in the NFL.

    Have to check...stay tuned:

    Here is the info on Rick Spielman:

    Spielman played linebacker at Southern Illinois University (1983–86), earning first-team All-Gateway Conference honoree as a junior. He was also part of the 1983 NCAA Division I-AA national championship team as a redshirt freshman. Upon entering the NFL, as an undrafted free agent, he was invited to training camp with the San Diego Chargers (1987) and Detroit Lions (1988), but did not make it as a professional football player.[2]

    Career in scouting[edit]

    Spielman began his NFL career as a scout with Detroit in 1990 and worked with the club in college scouting for five seasons before adding pro scouting duties in 1995 and 1996. He moved to Director of Pro Personnel for the Bears from 1997 to 1999 before joining the Dolphins in 2000 as Vice President of Player Personnel. He was promoted in 2002 to Senior Vice President-Football Operations/Player Personnel and eventually General Manager in 2004. Spielman left the Dolphins during the 2005 off-season.

    Spielman worked with ESPN as an NFL analyst in 2005, before joining the Minnesota Vikings.[2]

    If my math is right, 1% of a billion is $10 million. Lol, how much is Papa John's paying you? Peyton for sure has money, but on LeBron's level?

    He probably does.  Papa John's, Nationwide, Directv....dude made a lot of money over the years playing and probably even more with all the endorsements he's got.

    I think that is understating LeBron's worth.

  • Your math sucks because no way the browns are worth close to 1 billion.  Jimmah overpaid.  

    He could get 50 percent stake for 200 million

  • Haslam has to be good for at least 5 to 10.......years in the pen

    Sorry dude...your math sucks.  According to Forbes magazine:

    cleveland-browns_100x100.jpg #29 Cleveland Browns $1.95 B

    That's 1.95 billion with a B.   So his $200 million would get him approximately 10% of the team.

    Lest we forget.. Randy Lerner , still holds a 10% share in the team . If I'm not mistaken.

    I DID forget.  Is that true.

    Also, I wonder about this:   Lerner sold the team to Haslam....but what was the payment arrangement?  Jimmy may have been making payments to Randy and that debt may be far from paid off.    Just speculating....not certain.   Anyone know?

    I only know that Jimmy has net worth of 3.7 billion as of March of this year. I don't think Randy held on to any part of the team. The only owners listed are Jim and Dee Haslam. $3,700,000,000  yep, ten figures.
