The Gipper Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing has been said about many other teams in the past, such as the Astros. 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own the complete original series, watched every episode at least once (the best ones dozens of times) and to remind you Hoorta (the horta- correct spelling) is the creature in the episode "Devil in the Dark". Still really POed the latest incarnation is essentially PPV, I'll wait until they're released on Blu-ray. The Kobiashi Maru test at Star Trek Academy was a lesson in failure. Whatever you did, you lost. Kirk beat it by reprogamming the computer. In one of the reboots a scene Chris Pine (as Kirk), you see how he did it- hilarious. You want to talk gay? Romantic comedy chick-flicks, Bravo's The Real Housewives of (Pick a City). Barf. BTW, the latest Star Wars "The Last Jedi" is great- and before you tell me that's Gay too. If you had come up with the idea instead of George Lucas, you'd have enough money to buy up all the beach front property in Naples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is still building for 2019 and beyond maybe star date 2512. And the quarterback is just one piece of the big puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!
