My Maui tips:

A. If you do your snorkeling at Kapalua Beach in Maui you should be OK. It is a fabulous beach and the lagoon is protected by a reef.

B. Cal is right. Get your butt up to the top of Haleakala and watch the sunrise. It is the most spectacular I have ever seen. And if you can take the bike ride down.....from 11,000 feet to sea level you will only have to pedal once or twice.

C. Obviously you have to do the road to Hana.

D. Go upland to Ulupalakua and see the stuff there including the koi farm and the winery at Ulupalakua

E. I am not sure that any one luau is really any better than any other.

til the ocean floor disappeared.

B. The La Haina resort luau is famous. The poi is terrible, because it's....poi.

C. We had a scedule conflict, and didn't get to, but consider the helicopter ride

through the "grand canyon" of Hawaii on Kaui - i thinks it's Waimea canyon.

I really wish we had done that. The tape is beautiful.

D. Also consider the 500 foot down submarine ride off Maui, and the long, winding drive

up the Haleukala mtn and watch the sun come up. Wait, maybe it's only 250 feet. It's

a minisub.

Have a camera with you at all times. Have fun.

Hawaii is magic.

Having those guys to run the football team however had no effect on his ineptitude at running the franchise financially.

None of them had an inactive period, no. But with some of the ownership groups for some of those teams, they would have been better off having an inactive period, fair to say?

And the trolls point had nothing to do with that. He said something like "today's players don't have a link to the Browns players of the 50s/60s". Well, no fucking shit Sherlock....but that has nothing to do with the franchise being inactive for a bit. Today's players for the most part don't know diddley about the history of their team, their league. Example: most of the players on the Steelers today were not with the team a recently as 2008 when they won that last title. Those new Steeler players probably care no more about the Steelers 2008 title than today's Browns players care about the 1964 title. (Besides BR, who is still left?) So "connection" to history is not in the DNA of most current NFL players....and it is foolish to point out the Browns as being a franchise whose players don't have connection to history.

Think about it: Today's Cleveland Browns players might actually have more connection to the team's history than ANY other NFL franchise.

Why? Because they wear the name of the team's founder and legendary coach and its greatest player on their uniform every time they suit up. NO other franchise can claim that.

But, nevertheless....fuck the Ravens. (for no other reason than that they are a division rival)

@the-gipper said:

None of these teams experienced a two year hangover in between ownership changes. Nor did any of these teams leave their city. The Browns did, that's the main difference.

The franchise stayed, the team left.

Except the Ravens. Fuck the Ravens.

Stuart said:

No, it wasn't asswipe. All 1995 was was a turnover in ownership for the franchise.....like half the teams that have changed ownership since then.

All of the following teams have had a complete ownership change since 1995 (I exclude teams that stayed in families where the owner died....like the Chiefs/Raiders etc., or where there was an internal family transition, like the 49ers)

Ravens

Falcons

Bills

Jags

Dolphins

Vikings

Jets

Seahawks

Rams

Redskins

so if the Browns have no connection to history....then none of these teams do either.

Made my night bro. Good stuff.

To say "play like a brown" sounds kind of empty, there are no players linking these browns to the 1950's....especially being whatever link that may have existed was broken in 1995.

And how can "y'all" leave out the most important 3 words in Texanese, "We're (or I'M) fixin' to......." For example, We're fixin' to ride this Browns slogan all the way to the Superbowl" or "Saddle 'em up boys we're fixin' to smoke these mf'ers."

PS-I also like "Colder than a witches tit."

@frenchie said:

is not tradition-based as in "play like the Browns are known for playing" but it's asking the players to dedicate themselves to a set of defined values (Accountable, relentless, productive, passionate, tough and competitive).

Right, because every head coach tells their team to play like a brown.

Those are the company's values and decision making should favor players who adopt or personify them. It's common in corporations for company values to be communicated to all employees. Play like a Brown is merely a football equivalent.
