The Browns Will Win If…
December 19, 2008Pavlik on Wrong End of “Upset of the Year”
December 19, 2008
And the 12 Days of a Cleveland Sports Christmas roll on. Congratulations to Zoss for winning yesterday’s prize: The Browns Fans Tailgating Guide by Peter Chakerian. Though the season’s near over, this is definitely something to help one wallow away a sub-par year, and will likely be timeless given the way this town enjoys their pre-game rituals.
If you’re looking for a hint for today’s gift, let’s just say that it has a little LBJ tilt to it. I’d caution against sandbagging – there are only four days left! As always…here are the “rules”-
Each day of the contest, we will ask a question for you to answer. Respond to the giveaway post with a comment formatted like this- restate the question, then answer it in EXACTLY 64 words. (Last year of a major Cleveland championship.)
– You may only enter once each day. You are free to comment on each other’s answers, however.
– The winner will be chosen at random from the qualifying entries. Winners will be notified the following day by email (make sure the email address you registered to comment with is a real one!) You must be at least 18 years old to win, and only one winner per household during this giveaway please.
The prizes range from tickets to the Tribe home opener, to books, to jerseys, and even a few WFNY items thrown in there too. (Yes, shameless self-promotion!) No complaining about which prize you win, those have been randomly selected for specific days of the contest. Sound good? Hey it’s free stuff, how picky can you get?! All answers have to be submitted by midnight, Cleveland time. Don’t worry about having the same answer as someone else, just put it in your own words. It isn’t a contest to see who is a better writer. Remember though…EXACTLY 64 words!
With that said…Here’s today’s question to respond to:
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?

What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
Being a terrible golfer, I would want three equally terrible golfers who would most likely just want to ride around on a golf cart, drink, and act like an idiot on the golf course. Therefore, I would have to pick Ryan Garko, Dave Zastudil and David Delucci. I’m not concerned about the level of play, but would still like to have a fun time.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
Obviously Hafner. Also, I’d have to go with Thomas and Winslow for the other two. Why Winslow? I can’t stand the whining, he’s still the best offensive weapon (besides Dawson). Thomas because he seems like the guy who’d be in your group of friends no matter what he did for a living. I just want to see how far Pronk can hit the ball.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Travis Hafner and Delonte West.
Z because he would require a stretch golf cart and have the goofiest swing imaginable. Pronk because he’d furnish the beer and snacks. Brother Redbush because he’s hilarious and seems like a fun cat to hang out with. All three of them in concert because I bet I could beat them all; and I’m terrible at golf.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
Delonte west would be the first choice just because the conversations would always be unique. Then big shaun rogers because I think it would be funny to see that man swing a gold club. For that matter, throw in romeo crenel. Think about the possibilities of strolling around the golf course crackin jokes with romeo, delonte and shaun rogers. Best day of my life.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
I’m not much of a golfer, so I’d choose based on people I’d like to hang out with. LeBron James, Joe Thomas, and Grady Sizemore. LeBron is just someone I’d like to meet, Joe Thomas seems like a nice guy. Most importantly, I figure Grady Sizemore could explain to LeBron why he has been in Cleveland so long, and hopefully convince him to stay.
I figure Grady Sizemore could explain to LeBron why he has been in Cleveland so long
“They tricked me into signing a long-term contract!!”
we’re obviously not considering the strain on some of these golf carts…
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
LeBron, because he is a natural athlete and good at everything, let’s challenge his golf game. Grady, because he is going to be the face of the Indians at least until his contract runs out in a few years. And finally, Shaun Rogers, I’d ask him about the season, what has gone right and wrong. I’d want to see someone that big play golf.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
See I’d love to golf with LeBron James, Damon Jones, and Shaun Rogers. I pick Damon Jones because him and LeBron had so many high five combinations, I’d love to see them celebrate after each putt or long drive. But since DJ is no longer a Cav, lets replace him with Grady Sizemore. Grady would bring the fine lookin eye candy to distract us.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
Browns owner Randy Lerner and Tennessee Titans Defensive Coordinator Jim Schwartz are the first two, because Schwartz is the best candidate to replace Crennel, and the sooner he and Lerner start talking the better. Third would be Dan Gilbert, because he seems to understand how to run a professional sports franchise in this town. Few places better than a golf course to talk business.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
My first choice has to be delonte west. Brother red is hilarious and would keep us all in stitches. Then shaun rogers. The big man is equally as funny and maybe more crazy. My last choice would have to be Z. The Z and rogers combo on the course would be too much to handle. I’d shoot in the hundos from laughing so hard.

I am going to take a player from each organization and say Boobie, Josh Cribbs, and Travis Hafner. I think that they seem like three down to earth guys that would just have a good time and goof around. I love watching Josh on his show. He seems really fun to be around. I think Boobie seems like he would be the best golfer.
You’d go with Schwarts before Spag of the Giants? I’d almost go with Spag or maybe even Marty-ball’s son if we can’t get pops. This is soley on the basis of bringing in a coordinator
to be our head coach. Sorry i left it hangin there.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
Travis Hafner, , Ryan Garko, and Jhonny Peralta. They all seem like fine gentlemen who would be willing have a sip of beer or two between shots. As I am absolutely terrible at golf, this would be the key to trying to get through 9 holes before everyone said “screw this”. Also, Hafner could discuss what new metal song batting song he should pick out.
Let’s see, responses 9 and 10 are disqualified, improving odds for the rest of us chumps.
JJ: Spag would be a huge upgrade over what we have now, but like Schwartz better. He’s 6 years younger than Spag, with no Superbowls, so he’s hungrier too. Have little doubt that Schwartz would have done as well with the Eagles and Gints, but have to wonder if Spag would have had the success in small market Tennessee that Schwartz has had, making more of less. Also, love Schwartz’s econ degree from GTown.

First I have to go with Phil Dawson, because how good can a kicker be at golf? Plus he is the best brown since 1999. Then I would go with (30)Josh Cribbs, his voice is hilarious. Last would have to be Derek Anderson. This because I heard that he golfed a lot in his spare time, so he might leave Cleveland with a win.
Shaun Rogers and Z would be an hysterical combination.
Cribbs and Boobie would be funny too.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
I would have to say Derek Anderson, who is a lot better than I am, would have to be there. After that, I have no idea how anyone else plays, so I’d go with Joe Jurevicious and LeBron James based solely on wanting them to hang out with them for an afternoon. I imagine DA would smoke all of us, but it’d be fun.
@Jordan-
How are 9 and 10 DQ’d?
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
I would have to go with who I think the three biggest drinkers are, Brady Quinn, Jensen Lewis and Grady Sizemore. All three are around my age and since I am horrible at golf, I would be more interested in drinking and bullcrapping with them. I used to work for the Indians and I know Grady and Jensen are huge drinkers and Brady is.

As much as I loathe aristocracy, Lebron is the first spot secured. He’s the King of Cleveland, and that means his presence will raise the hottness of any potential gallery following us. Number Two is Ilgauskus, because someone has to remind Lebron he doesn’t work alone. Lastly, I’ll take Derek Anderson. Someone’s got to make me feel better about myself, and he’s the guy.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
I would golf with the three players I could have the most fun with: Brother Redbush, Big Z, and Pronk. The combination of those players would ensure plenty of laughs and guaranteed time. Imagine kicking back and having a few cold ones with those three! I couldn’t wait to hear about how a “true gangsta” like Bugs Bunny would act while I tee off.
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
Since I don’t play golf, I’m just going to have some fun with athletes I admire. I think Lebron is an obvious choice, with Delonte West thrown in for the entertainment factor. Phil Dawson, so there would be someone at least within 20 years of my own age, and maybe Shaun Rogers, to see what would happen when he got into a golf cart.
@ JJ #21, answers 9 and 10 didn’t include CURRENT members of the Cleveland Sports Franchises. Namely, Damon Jones and Jim Schwartz.
how bout you READ number 9 again. Especially the last part where Damon Jones gets replaced with Grady Sizemore.
“But since DJ is no longer a Cav, lets replace him with Grady Sizemore.”
Thanks for playin!
#10 was just wishful thinking of the next Browns coach. Can’t hate on that. Lord knows they need one.
Who won?
That’s my question. I thought the contest only took a break on Sundays
What three members of current Cleveland franchises would fill out the rest of your golf foursome and why?
Wally Sczczcerbiak, Delonte West, and LeBron James. Wally would give high fives all day to everyone on the course, and boost my confidence as well. Delonte would be awful but extremely entertaining. He drives, of course. Lastly, the king because I would kill myself if I had the chance to play with him and didn’t take advantage. Lebron wins, Delonte takes last. Go Cavs!
