Stars or the Coasters. Oddly named as they are, they still are the flagship of
the NBA... You mention two of Cleveland's worst transactions with Paul Warfield
and Jim Thome. The Browns, still contenders back then, traded Warfield, as good
a WR as I've seen, for the rights to Mike Phipps, a fairly good QB but not even
close in talent. Warfield made the very average Bob Griese look like a passer,
opening further Miami's great ground game, led by Cleveland area natives Larry
Czonka and coach Don Shula, a former Brown. Thome, the Indians all-time HR
hitter, wanted a much longer contract than Cleveland's owner would pay. Though
he is not young, he still crushes the ball. The Indians had a nice run in the
90s, now we watch the kids. I don't know Thome's shoe size, sorry. |

default, I've followed the Phillies too (they used to slug it out for the NL
East crown when there were just two divisions). Anyway, I grew up listening to
Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn broadcast the games, and even though I loved the
Pirates, the Phillies had the best announcers in baseball. I think the best
Phillies teams never made it to the World Series. They were the Danny Ozark
teams of the late 70's. Remember when they beat out the Pirates in '77 and '78,
but lost to the Dodgers in the NL Championship? Bob Boone, Larry Bowa, Mike
Schmidt, Greg Luzinski, Garry Maddox, Bake McBride, Steve Carlton, Tommy
Christenson---what an awesome lineup of all-stars. At the time, as a kid, I
hated the Phillies because they were the Pirates rivals. But looking back, they
were a superb team and should have gotten to the series. I remember one year,
an umpire's bad call pushed the Dodgers into the series and the Phillies should
have been there instead. |

wins an easy decesion over Bugner. A Liston hook drops Joe in the fifth and a
jab, actually a cuff, cuts Joe in the ninth. Bugner offered little resistance
except for a quick jab that kept Sonny occupied and some exceptional clinching.
Rahman over Berbick in 12. Another dance contest, a Rahman right drops Trevor
in the tenth. A pretty close fight up until then. Berbick landing the better
body blows, Rahman's jab more active. Berbick did little after the knockdown.|

difficult at the beginning of the season.The major factor is allways
injuries.However,the top teams have allways seemed to aquired depth to offset
injuries.The Eagles reached the NFC title game last year without Westbook ,and
their entire defensive line!Geez,Kent,I can't imagine any one butting heads with
you over football!Even though your obviously a broken and bitter fan because of
the Rams,I would still be interested in your top five power rankings in the NFL
when you post them .Where do you post them at?I still cannot believe you don't
know who Billy Horner and Franky Ford are.You know, you may still feel free to
insult me on any subject we are discussing,as you allways have in the
past.Except my spelling.|

that thanks they get. While you fools are talking basketball (SPORTS a Blackman

for example next football season the patriots are 2-1 after three weeks and all
of the games are close and I don't rank them number one, my friend from Boston
will complain to me that they should be number one because they are the best
team. That is the way hard core fans of a particular team are. He would
