 I thought I would spend a little time with Zipazoid, so we could all get to know him a little better.
Question 1
Name a few players that you consider as your all time Browns favorites.
My first recollection of the Browns was the 1969 NFL Championship & I fell in love with Bill Nelsen & Leroy Kelly in that game. Of course I revere Jim Brown & Gary Collins but never saw them play but my fave has to be Bernie. Dude purposely graduated early from UM & worked the NFL draft system in order to play for the Browns – how can you not love a player that does that?
Question 2
What do you do for a living? Whats your dream job?
I'm a transportation planning consultant – it's an esoteric, niche kind of job. My dream job? That's a toughie, but I'd like to think it's what I am currently doing, which is my own business…as soon as I get a few contracts executed that is. Actually I would love to be a field announcer for the PGA Tour – "Tiger's in the left rough, has 193 yards to the pin & has chosen a 6-iron…"
Question 3
Tell us a little about your life outside the internet, What's you handicap?
Heh…I'm left-handed & old. Actually I'm currently a 6, but was as good as a 2 back in the early 90's. Got the USGA Handicap card to prove it. Besides golf, I like to work on my house, I do a lot of volunteer work and spend time with my son.
Question 4
Tell us about your family life.
I'm happily divorced, have a 13-year old son that is blossoming into a stereotypical wise-ass teenager (read: dad's an idiot). I keep in close touch with my mom & sisters in Cuyahoga Falls & my brother here in Florida.
Question 5
What's your favorite Movie?
A Beautiful Mind with Russell Crowe. Anything with Johnny Depp in it, Dogma, and of course the funniest movie ever created - Animal House.
Question 6
How about favorite food?
You got Carrabas in Ohio? We got them here & I just love their menu – anything that combines seafood & Italian works for me.
Question 7
Tell us something about you that most would not believe
I'm a friend of Bill's. Those that understand that phrase knows what it means.
Question 8
Who's the RB for the Browns next year?
I just watched Arkansas beat LSU in triple overtime & McFadden would look real good in a Browns uniform but I don't know if we have a realistic chance of drafting him. If Jamal would be amenable to another one-year contract I think he'll be back. If not then I'm really not sure unless somehow we pry Michael Turner away from San Diego.
Question 9
If you could change one thing in this world it would be...
That people would care more about others & less about themselves. If that happened virtually all other problems in the world would resolve themselves.
Question 10
Its your job to fix the Browns in the offseason...what do you do?
Parlay Derek Anderson's good play into extra draft picks from another team, then shore up the front 7 on defense with those picks & through free agency. We're not that far away from a championship now, as the offense is very young & will be good for years to come. All we need is a defense that can hold teams under 20 points & we'll be 14-2 next year, first seed in the playoffs & the Road to SB 43 goes thru Cleveland. A guy can dream can't he?
