P.S. Do you agree with me that the Browns last great draft was in 2014 when Sonny Weaver, Jr. was the General Manager?

April 20, 1949 here. Well, Draft Day 2014 was pretty much a box office failure.

I tried emailing him (real email) a few times, with no response.

Now, how will young'uns learn the First Rule of Officiating?

1a) Let me address billyu2 and Sonny Weaver, Jr. I bow you your three years seniority. But you still have to admit that Sonny did have a better draft than recent Browns drafts. My birth hometown is Linwood, Kansas, my mom's hometown, but my dad's hometown is Youngstown, Ohio and we moved back to Youngstown when I was only one year old. Youngstown Liberty H.S., Class of 1969, and Youngstown State, Class of 1980.

1b) billyu2: For us that live (I live in my better half's hometown of Toledo: Go Mud Hens!) Youngstown the Browns-Steelers rivalry for some families is a civil war, and mine was no different. I am a life long Browns fan and my sister (younger) is a life long Steelers fan. She did not change allegiance even when the Browns drafted Kosar out of U of Miami (where she graduated in 1977 and played golf on the women's team there for four years.

2) Mark Padgett is alive and well and is 73 years old. He indeed did have a heart attack and is living Cedar Sini Park Senior Living (https://cedarsinaipark.org/senior-ca...itzer-manor-2/) in Portland, Oregon. He is 73 years old. Here is an article about him from October 19, 2019: https://orjewishlife.com/mark-padget...-and-politics/

Mark Padgett was proud of his Jewish heritage, but it was a non-kosher pig's heart valve transplant that saved his life.

He didn't eat the pig. Pigs are not lawful to eat for Jews, but that does not forbid their organs being used for transplants, unless one can bring up a decision by an Orthodox Jewish dayan mentioning that.

With regards to the OP, I have a flop on the offensive player. He tried to fool me into calling a foul on the defender by unnaturally falling away, so he gets called for faking being fouled. NFHS would be a technical foul (under the current rules), NCAA-M would be either a flop warning (if the 1st offense by his team) or a Class B technical foul. Any other level, he's getting a technical foul, and if applicable, a fine. Such plays have no place in basketball.

Mark Padgett joked that he had to check with his rabbi before the life saving surgery, and even after getting his rabbi's approval, he joked that he still felt guilty. One thing that we Irish Catholics share with our Jewish bothers and sisters is guilt.
