A Charger could be man and animal: as in the Charge of the Light Brigade. There the "Chargers" were both men and horses.

OT, Did you know you had a Fantasy Team in Browns Board League 1?

Someone mentioned you hadn't moved your lineup, and upon further review you haven't visited the site since it was renewed.

I shouldn't wake you up, because you're playing me this week, but just wanted to see if you wanted to salvage your team.

You are 1-4, in last place and starting two WRs on IR and a kicker on his bye.

If you're not interested in trying to make something out of the season, the fair thing for me to do is just freeze your team the way it is so that everyone gets the same easy win. Except that guy that somehow lost to you.

Check no more! A Charger is a MOPAR! And all AN-I-MAL!!! check please!?

Charger = Blonde with credit cards

@the-gipper said:

Right, both Jets and Chargers are not animals. (though a Charger could be I guess) I will have to check on that.

Therefore Titan would fall under the "man" column.


Which was gonna be my next "stump the Gipper question"

Which two NFL teams, one in the AFC and one in the NFC have the same nicknames? (by definition)

The Titans and the Giants.

@texasag1969 said:

NY Jets are not animals.

But they are men. Well Jets from West Side story were anyway.

I did go on to say said human vs. animal and THING.

Also according to Wiki the Chargers name came about when the owner heard "charge" being yelled out by fans at some college game, so its neither. Its a word!

@mjp28 said:

Well, I asked about Giants, not Titans. I already gave the definition of Titan.

And FYI, when the NY Titans (nka Jets) came into existence and called themselves that..they said it was because "Titans are bigger than Giants".

@the-gipper said:

What about a Giant? Is a Giant a human or an animal?

Titan

noun (Greek myth)

1.any of a family of primordial gods, the sons and daughters of Uranus (sky) and Gaea (earth)

2.any of the offspring of the children of Uranus and Gaea

That sounds pretty gay I'll go with that one.

@the-gipper said:

A Titan is a deity....a God. Perhaps "Super Human"

Titan, in Greek religion and [/size]mythology, one of 12 primeval deities. The female [/size]Titanis also called Titaness. The [/size]Titans—six sons and six daughters—were the children of Uranus and Gaea. They were Kronos, Iapetus, Hyperion, Oceanus, Coeus, Creus, Theia, Rhea, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethys, and Themis.[/size]

Right. What he needs to do is to break down his human vs. animal analysis by going back to the beginning in 1920s.

But just briefly here is the deal with defunct teams that won titles:

Bulldogs and Yellowjackets are "animals"

Pros were human.

But what about the Providence Steamroller? Was that in reference to the humans that operated a Steamroller, or the machine itself?

And how do we categorize machines. Steamroller and Jets are inanimate object, neither human nor animal.

Are you all in favor of "Inanimate Object Rights"?

What I think is that this is quite hilarious and interesting at the same time! You are right, there aught to be an investigation.

I wish it was a statistic that I had thought of researching.

Bravo!

I'm afraid even those guys would give the BROWNS a game....well maybe if they kept their switchblades, and they could dance!

Now back to the Titans, just what is a titan? Well whatever they're favored by 7 Sunday in what might be a low scoring game, but no switchblades.

Eh, that non parity is much to do about nothing.

What I found startling is the lack of parity between man and animal.

There are 16 teams named after a man, and 16 after an animal or thing.

If a team's nickname is human, then the chances of winning a Super Bowl are far greater than if a teams nickname is that of an animal or thing.

No parity between man and animal. This is not fair. Needs to be investigated.

Man with 37 SB victories, animal with 13.

What do you think Gip?

Steelers 6

49'ers 5

Cowboys 5

Packers 4

Patriots 4

Giants 4

Raiders 3

Redskins 3

Buccaneers 1

Chiefs 1

Saints 1

Browns

Titans

Vikings

Bills

Texans

Broncos 3

Ravens 2

Colts 2

Dolphins 2

Rams 1

Bears 1

Seahawks 1

Jets 1

Falcons

Eagles

Cardinals

Bengals

Lions

Jaguars

Panthers

Chargers

At least the browns got that going for them!

Poor bengals.

The Browns have more championships than the Steelers, you dumb fuck.

Did you know they were championships before they gave them the name "Super Bowl"?

Let's throw out all World Series before playoff series, all Basketball championships before expansion, and any hockey championships by the original 6 while we are at it.

Just because the Steelers were fucking awful before 1970 doesnt mean it didn't happen.

... but is irrelevant to your hypothesis.

@texasag1969 said:

Perhaps not. But originally I was looking at just the Super Bowl wins....and the NFC's 9 vs. AFC 5 seemed statistically significant.

@texasag1969 said:

Gip - I haven't run any statistical analysis on it, but my guess would that 15 vs. 11 may not be statistically significant based on small sample size. Doesn't meet the eye test, but I'm too lazy to break out my old stat books.

Edit-besides the Browns have skewed (or screwed) all the data!

Sad.. The Browns have lost more than Emails "laughs"
