  • 5. Chi Chis. Unlike Italian food, which I am a complete snob about, give me Chi Chis for Mexican every day of the week. My dish? The Cancun, which was seafood enchiladas. Best Mexican fried ice cream ever.

    I'll second that, used to wait an hour or two to get a table in the Boardman chi chis by our house.....and sit in the bar and drink beer and eat free nachos.

    Then the abrupt demise.......

    .......The restaurant chain helped launch the Mexican food boom in the 1970s and 1980s, serving gigantic portions of intensely flavored food such as its chili powder, jalapeno-and-onion-laden nachos grande, with the help of an innovative computerized kitchen capable of serving up orders in nine minutes or less [source: Wilbur]. As with Steak and Ale, Chi-Chi's success spawned scores of competitors, and in late 2003, the restaurant chain was forced to file for bankruptcy due to poor cash flow. Shortly after that, the Mexican green onions that helped make Chi-Chi's food so tangy became its undoing, when a batch tainted with Hepatitis A sickened 660 diners and killed three at a Chi-Chi's in Pennsylvania, leading to the chain's demise the following year ........RIP CHI CHIS.......

  • Here is a survey question for you.    Give your thoughts and opinions:

    1.  What offseason move that the Browns have made so far  do you think  is or will prove to  be the best move?

    So far, picking up Jack Conklin.  That should really solidify one OL spot.  Two more are still unsettled, but that was a major start.

    Second, or maybe first:  getting a new coach

    2. What offseason move by any team not the Browns do you think is or will prove to be the best move?

    A.  Gotta be Brady to Bucs.   Just reversing the  interception ratio could be a big move in games often decided by turnovers.  They could challenge the Saints.....who also made a big move:

    B. Saints get Emmanuel Sanders to go along with Mike Thomas, making them stronger

    C. Arizona "stealing" Hopkins.   Don't know if it will close the gap between them and the other 3 teams in that division....but it can help that effort a lot.

    D.  Bills picking up Diggs.  Bills now have a bevy of good wideouts....now can the erratic Josh Allen hit them? 

    3. Who do you think are the Top 5 Quarterbacks in the league....right now?

    No order:   Russell Wilson;  Aaron Rodgers,  Mahomes;  Brees,  Watson.

    4. Yahoo is asking this question, so I will ask it of all of you:     Who do you think the very best team in the history of each of the major sports ever was? 

    NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL  

    NFL:   1985 Bears;    MLB:  1927 Yankees   NBA:  1972 Lakers (Wilt/West/Baylor/Goodrich)   NHL:  Gretsky era  Oilers make it the 1984/85 team. 

    5. With everything being closed, the fear is that a lot of businesses will go under, including restaurants.    The question is:   Which restaurant chain(s) that is now Defunct do you miss the most.   (making this a chain...not an individual restaurant, so that everyone can relate)

    Here are a few:

    Dutch Pantry

    Isaly's

    Red Barn

    L&K 

    Kippy's     (not sure if these last two were national...but there were  a number of them in NE, Ohio

    Yes, Chi-Chi's

    And I have seen some info that the Brown Derby Chain is supposedly defunct...but, I know there is a Brown Derby in Medina that I have been to, so that is still there.

    The move they didn’t do...trade OBJ.  The guy was injured...didn’t respond well last offseason and get his reps, dealt with a QB that had a below average year and an awful play caller.  The guy is gonna shine this coming year. Mark it down!! 

    2. What offseason move by any team not the Browns do you think is or will prove to be the best move?

    TB to TB.  They have talent and now a QB that is still pretty good.

    They coulda been there with the '27 Yankees especially the '95 Indians with their murderers' row and all they needed was a true #1 starter and they could have been a dynasty.

    The 95 Indians lost to the best 3 man playoff rotations in Baseball history Maddox Glavine Smoltz. And it took an Ump crew calling strikes on baseballs 8-10 inches off the outside corner to take that offense down.  The offense could handle the load except for some crooked baseball.

    Was it that bad?  I know the Braves pitching staff was really good....but that was the only WS they won.  I think they lost a couple to the Yankees.  Are you saying the umps did not give those pitches against the Yangees that they did against the Tribe?  

    Interesting.

    It's hard to lose the first game in any playoff scenario and still advance but they did it in 95 & 97 .......oh so close !

    What is more fucked up is being up  3 games to one....on at least 2 occasions, and then choking the series away.   Can you say Red Sox and Cubs.

    Regarding the 2016 World Series, the Indians had pretty much two healthy starting pitchers. They didn't choke the WS away, as much as they ran out of gas. It would have been practically a 1980 Miracle On Ice World Series win if the Tribe could have won it all. That's how banged up their starting rotation was going into the playoffs.

    3-1.....regardless, they should have never blown that lead.

    I can't be wrong about an opinion.  In my opinion they should have found a way to win one of the last 3 games in that series....even if their pitching rotation was banged up.   It was good enough to get them to that 3-1 lead, it should have been good enough to bring them home. They could/should have relied more on their bullpen then.    And if the pitching struggled, then the hitting should have carried them to a win in one of those games.
