gumby73 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I still remember wanting to lose my ever loving mind the day Chip got traded to the Chargers 🤬..It was on my birthday in 87, on draft day of April 28th.. the GM than was Paul Accorsi & Marty was the head coach. Accorsi only swamped picks in the 1st & 2nd round to move Banks. When we drafted Chip. Sam was the HC & Marty was the DC. Our GM that picked Chip 3rd was..Peter Hadhazy...Banks stared in a 3-4 system built by Marty.. Till this day.. am still pissed that Chip got traded..It took till Belicheck to arrive in 92, till Accorsi got canned.. Chip Banks never played for the Chargers ..Chip sat out the 87 season, due to not seeing the offer the Browns had already offered (have we been here before?).. Accorsi felt trading Banks & moving up from pick 24 to pick #5 for LB Mike Junkin & from pick #53 to pick 32 for a center named Mike Rakoczy was a better choice.. Vinnie Testaverde went #1 to TB in 87... Good Luck to Chip Banks & his Family🙏...I still own the White & Brown Chip Banks jerseys.. prayers our brother, prayers ☝️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he really only last 3 years in the NFL? Banks was the real deal. The Browns could sure use a Banks in his prime right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be little to no info on the situation surrounding this... but I doubt it was a friendly card game gone wrong. If anything, it sounds like a drug deal gone wrong. (Absolute speculation on my part, but it would make sense). Who knows, maybe a high stakes card game that someone knew about and there was an attempt to rob them, and shit went south? Hell, I remember a Sopranos episode similar to this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Why would anyone want to live in Atlanta. I find the concept wholly unappealing. Same with Dallas/Houston/Phoenix. Now, the mountain area east of Atlanta.....Galveston...north of Phoenix around Prescott/Sedona...sure, and maybe Waco, or Abilene in Texas. But not in those cities. Looks like time for a survey.

Too freaking hot for me we know people who sold everything in Ohio and moved to the gulf side of Florida only to put up with red tide, hurricanes, long 100+ degree heat and many new neighbors in the past 10 years. Some are returning back to Ohio. Nice place to visit in the dead of winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Yea, isn't that the guy they drafted without doing any background check....and he was under indictment for like drug trafficking and attempted murder or the like. Le't dig him up: https://web.archive.org/web/20090630033206/http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004148820_rbpharms280.html So, he did a couple years in prison....came out, spent a couple of years in the Arena League...but caught again doing a crime of some sort. Have not seen any articles about him since like 2005....however, see this: https://www.nfldraftdiamonds.com/2019/05/jeremiah-pharms/ Apparently Pharms has a kid who may be a long shot prospect.

One of my fishing buddies is terrified of snakes & screamed "MOCCASIN!" one day while we were on a local pond a couple years ago. I went over & saw a damn big water snake laying by a bridge abutment, told him what it was, that there are no moccasins in Ohio, then I reached down & spooked it into the pond (never was able to lay a hand on it). He didn't go near that bridge the rest of the day & we never saw that snake again! In fact, the only venomous snake I ever came across was a small (8" or so) massasauga rattler.
