Oh really? Going to dog my Browns? Ok, the way I look at things, if you're a fan of a sports team, you better know it's history and the history of other sports teams. Yes, they may have struggled upon their return. As much slack I'll take on this, as of now-Butch Davis was the best coach so far in the new era. Why? Only one who got them to the playoffs.

Sorry Chris, you're not going to like this. Do you know the Cleveland Browns are the only team in all of sports history to make 10 straight championships. Yes I'm including the AAFC which the Browns are trying to bring in the NFL records much like the NFL did with the AFL.

1946-won (AAFC)
1947-won (AAFC)
1948-won (AAFC)
1949-won (AAFC)
1950-won (NFL)
1951-lost (NFL)
1952-lost (NFL)
1953-lost (NFL)
1954-won (NFL)
1955-won (NFL)

Sorry, the Spankees, Canadiens, Red Wings, Maple Leafs, Celtics, and the Lakers and their history cannot make that claim. And to add more salt to the wound, did you know Cleveland is the only team to lose a team AFTER winning a title. The 1945 Cleveland Rams won the NFL title and then bolted for Los Angeles. So Cleveland should be title town.

So yes, I added some fun to this. It's all good about errors. I make more of my own share and will continue to do so :D.

I think if the Brownies were to Add PREMIER to their name this year - they could end up with an above .500 record!!! :)

Wow, has this thread veered off the original course!! Okie: nice attempted Segway, but I think we need to re-label this one "Your NFL team is not worthy if..."

- On Draft Day, a Heisman-winning QB is on his cell phone begging "Pick Me" because his stock is dropping by the minute...

Here is a history lesson.... ;)

View attachment 947

You can use this type of history in college football to shut-up the SEC, Big 10, PAC 10, & all others....LMAO

Cause Princeton & Yale have way more Championships than any other team........Even though most DD's grandpa's were not even born last time those teams were of any quality.......Muhahahahaha

Way to watered down now a days. Just like the prices of these tournaments are way, way to high. If we keep giving though they will keep taking. Cannot blame them. 4 years ago I did a friendly for the fraction of the cost of most tournaments, I mean a fraction of the cost, and I can promise you it was the best set of games in the 12u and 14u brackets that year. It was a good fundraiser for our team and everyone got to play tough teams. Now it is about quantity and not quality and of course the old mighty dollar.

Right over here!
Yea I agree with Static on this. Stay and play. Gate "Fees" and these are not the $5 at the door, rather in addition to the turney fees, and the $45 dollar tee shirt vendors ( by the way ever seen the 3rd place decal you can get put on custom? Yea I want that). I get the whole takes money to run a event, but realistically everyone is getting on the action because it is VERY lucrative. Multiple turneys water down talent the same way too many teams do. Now you have to see the "list" before you get in, just to make sure you don't get bobs waterbeds premier, teds taco truck elite, and Sams coloring book jack wagon express gold in pool play just to maybe see some decent teams in bracket..

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread..

Wonder when some ones gonna pop the platinum question when we're debating premier status.Yes ,Warren Pgf coined these terms,but there being diluted by some teams.How about a clarification from pgf leadership and one from orgs using these classifications in there orgs, maybe a difference?

With all the attention on Premier and Elite recently, I thought it was time to let people know what we are all about, and why we use the terms.



Ohio Outlaws – How we think about teams within the Organization

We are an organization that uses the designation Premier and Elite and have been using this for a few years, prior to most in the Midwest.
Many people use it for different reasons ours is more to differentiate between our teams and their goals and schedules.

ELITE- Is more of a local Ohio, PA, & Indiana based schedule and possibly stay a little closer to home for Nationals. Very similar to most Ohio teams.

PREMIER- Definitely a more aggressive schedule with more PGF Events/Premier Showcases and possibly ending in playing in the premier event in the country PGF Nationals in Huntington Beach , California

GOLD- Will be a committed team with a competitive schedule, with our main goal of preparing them for college.

We focus on recruiting and have had a lot of success with it and will continue to do it this way. If you have any questions about The Outlaws or recruiting please feel free to call me at 216-704-9908 or email me at WWolff@OhioOutlaws.com

The ISF originally stated that they wanted softball players to wear shorts not to stand out from boys but to stand out from baseball. The Olympic committee often linked baseball and softball together as the same thing. There have been plenty of issues in baseball such as steroids, etc. and the ISF didn't want the many negative connotations that go along with baseball. Many also believe that the international community refer to baseball as an "American sport." They want softball to be known as an international sport.
