    .......not that there's anything wrong with that.

    🙂 Always was one- used to sit around the TV back in the '60s every Thursday night. (That was really high tech stuff in the day- and I have to admit a lot of it looks pretty hokey now with the advances in CGI)  I'm not as hardcore as my Niece though- she actually goes to Star Trek Conventions, has autographs from a bunch of cast members, and has a cat named Worf....

    OK, instead of a fist fight.....it is you and Z.....in a hot dog eating contest.  That would be more entertaining for all of us than a fight would be.

    And with that, we could have a few others join in!

    I would lose. I would not even make the effort. Zomblow brought the fight crap up. He added idiotic conditions to protect himself from it ever becoming a reality, and now you have correctly called me his master. Ghooliashi ForYu.

    I have just challenged LeBron James to a 1-on-1 basketball game. The game will take place in Provo Utah and the home of a Browns fan who has a full court on his property. Lebran has 7 days to accept it, or admit that he chickened out.

    Why would you not make the effort?   We could do it in Vegas on one of your trips there.  Z can make a trip to Vegas easily enough.  And Stan can go and referree.  Or, maybe Stan would rather participate in the eating contest. 

    Just don't challenge him to a Margarita drinking contest.

  • If you truly believe that, why are you here?  Same thing has been said about many other teams in the past, such as the Astros.

    This is not complex like the Star Trek scenario.  Just know how to draft impact players and have a competent coaching staff.  That's it!  I do think the Browns have turned the corner with Dorsey in charge. One key will be Wolff ... can he weave some FA magic to go with a solid draft?  Then you got something to build on.

  • Used this analogy in another thread.  Liked it so well that I thought it deserved its own.   

    The Browns have become the Kobayashi Maru team.  (the no win training exercise from Star Trek).    

    What we need is a guy.....an HC, coach, QB...who can do what James T. Kirk did:  whatever it takes to overcome....even if it means cheating.

    We already had that guy and he's still coaching this weekend up in New England.

    But, then we went into hiatus.   BB could have gon along with Modell to the Ravens...but Artie didn't want him there.  

    So, apparently BB failed the Kobayashi Maru as a cadet...but learned to cheat when he got further along in his second command. 

  • By complete coincidence I am  reading this thread while a Star Trek episode on space channel plays in the background.  Was just some hotel back noise lol. I do love Star Trek though

    If we did it in Vegas, I have a gym, I have a ref, and, Ernie is there for me as well. Zomblow would do better in Memphis. Vegas is truly, for more reasons than you know, my jungle.

    Most beautiful woman ever saw was standing in the alcove area at the entrance to the Venetian in a form fitting high class dress with appropriate understated little sparkles here and there. I told my wife that she was looking at $1000 a night standing right there looking innocent as anything. Staff don't chase a woman like that off. They don't have to say a thing and someone will come along and take her in with minimal communication needed. What a place and what a piece!!😁

    You take it a bit too seriously.  This is primarily a play on the "No Win"  situation....because the Browns had "no wins".  

    Plus...is it fair to say that it seems that the Patriots are the Captain Kirks of the NFL?   They cheat to win. (except they don't get commendations for it).

    I'm not sure NE cheat to win, they just have been winning for so long, that the Refs just give them calls that they wouldn't give other teams.  If the Browns get to the point where we win that many SBs, I wouldn't be surprised to see us get those calls as well.

    The Billy Ball Pats will cheat anytime they can......remember too we only hear about it when they actually get caught! Spying, deflated balls, who knows, Billy thinks it's just part of the game.

    I am talking about the food eating challenge, not the fight.

    What fuyucking rock have you been living under?   The Pats cheat even when they don't need to.  Have you not heard of spygate, deflategate, etc. 

    Oi!

    And if we win as many SBs (in a short period as they did), we will get the calls as well.  It's natural and not many teams can do it.  Has nothing to do with Bill or Tom, just winning football.

    Oh yes I have, and as many SBs as they win, no one will be happier than me.  My wife told me they (Steelers) just expect to win the SB every year.  I know Pat fans expect it as well, but at least I don't have to hear about it.  And like I said, if we win as many SBs as they did, we would get the calls as well.

    That still doesn't explain why you think that the Pats have not been cheaters.

    They are like DJT....who will lie even  when the truth serves him better.  The Pats will cheat because they want to...not because they have to to win.

    And they get away with it.  Why?  Winning.  They've won 5 SBs in the last 15 years, it's unbelievable.  And I hope they win another one.
