Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • I'm a Browns fan... we've forgotten what a "game we shouldn't loose" is.

  • Although the Browns have the same number of Super Bowl wins as the Vikings.

    I think we hold a record for not being able to win the big one.

    Sometimes being a record holder is not a good thing. Always like to see smaller market teams have a good season. The fans deserve it.

    It could be worse than the Vikings. The Vikings and Bills are tied for most SuperBowl appearances without winning a single time, but the Bills did it 4 years in a row.

    Also, the Browns haven't won a Superbowl, haven't played a Superbowl and haven't even hosted a Superbowl. That's just sad.

    London has been cited several times for possible Superbowl and the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium was lauded for playability and player amenities but does not meet any of the Superbowl criteria. :-/

    There's been a few games played over here (not that I've seen any of them). I thought they were played at Wembley or the Olympic Stadium.

    What "criteria" is it they aren't meeting? Guarantee of Sunny Skies? ??

  • London would be interesting. The SuperBowl is such an event and exepnsive. Likely not much more cost in London than LA for attendees.

    Long as they don't change the time, which would be late UK time.

    It's easy to complain about the Broncos, but I also appreciate we've had a lot of success until the last three years. I know plenty of ities haven't had a glimpse of what we have.

  • Some of those are, um... unique "requirements". O.o

    I guess the Broncos have improved since they were acquired by Homer Simpson.

    They did win the NFL championship for the 1964 season and lost in the championship for the 1965 season, the last 2 seasons before the Super Bowl of course!

    First it was Wembley, then they added Twickenham which they changed to Tottenham which has a dedicated NFL pitch which they swap for the football pitch. Prior to this year I attended all bar two of the London games. This year, since they screwed season ticket allocation at Tottenham I am only attending the two at Wembley.

    I think Wembley has the seating capacity, Tottenham has not, but I think both may fail in parking and possibly hotels. The real catch is time as Steve mentioned, to get the time right for the US it would have to start late (after 11pm) well after the latest time allowed.

    p.s. And also we do not have a team 🙁

  • When Jacksonville hosted, the big news was that we didn't have a large enough prostitute industry to support the game. There were people literally bused in from Atlanta, Miami, etc. to fulfil the players' / coaches' / bigwigs' needs.

    The night of the game, we had a "facilities problem" at the stadium that struck about halfway through the second quarter or around half-time. Not sure which. People became seriously unhappy.

    On the other hand, Jacksonville does meet the requirements. Even if the "evening entertainment" needs to come in from out of town.

  • Oh boy how I love vendor code. I am not exaggerating to say I just saw this.

    try
    {
    OneLineOfCode;
    try
    {
    AnotherLineOfCode;
    try
    {
    ThirdLineOfCode;
    }
    catch(Exception ex) {}
    }
    catch(Exception ex) {}
    }
    catch(Exception ex) {}

    It is bad enough that they used the try/squelch anti-pattern but seriously...what is the point of nesting them three deep? Do they actually not realize that the outer empty catch would also catch anything inside? And why did they bother to name the Exception? I guess they don't care about compiler warnings either. The compiler does not like these types of lazy things. There were about 4 more levels of nested try-squelch around all this garbage. But the outer code had a try/catch that displayed an error if one happened. Too bad the class logic prevented the error from getting back. Sigh...I am going to have a stiff drink now.

    Why would anyone even consider moving the Super Bowl to another country?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
