    Suggest ideas for a future tournament.

    Prolly towards the end of July, I'm really going to go crazy and run two separate tournies. That way, you can only blame yourself if your favorite whatever loses! I have things in mind for thenflforums, but here's your opportunity to suggest ideas.

    I was thinking more of sports teams in general. It doesn't have to be your favorite team. If you were to choose to follow the Yankees or the Red Sox, which would you choose? Something like that.

    I was thinking along the lines of sports moments in the past 20 years or so... less homerism there, thus not reliant on how many on this board are from a certain city... when it comes to moments, most true fans can go above just homerism.....

    You could do a tourny on movies. It would be similar to the tv shows, but you could include both older films and newer ones. Sequels shouldn't be included though.

    Damn... my favorite movie of all time is a sequel...

    I think though, if movies is a possibility, it should be of the modern era... past 20 years or so... we see SO many lists of best all time movies... and frankly, I don't know if even 5% of the teens around have seen the likes of Citizen Kane, Metropolis, Nosferatu, Yankee Doodle Dandy, or the like

    How about sports Champions. we take the greatest Champs from the major sports(no olympics or int'l b/c the '92 Dream team would blow away any team) and the 2 major college sports and put together the best of the best tourney.

    I like the thing of including all sports.... I'm always leery of team lists in these things though because of homerism.... 1 Cincy team represented, with the amount of Cincy fans on this board, would skew the vote just because of that... no offense to Cincy fans, they were just chosen as an example, not trying to insinuate anything... but we know homerism can really take over

    Somehow I think that sometimes players, and moreso moments, can be less effected... because players and moments can sometimes span the gap... whereas a Yankee event will almost always get voted down inherently by a Red Sox fan (again, just an example)... But Lou Gehrig's speech (for example) can be respected even by a Sox fan

    Yeah...I agree that i should be cut to 20 years or so. If sequels were included, then it would probably be too hard to narrow down the selections. I guess in some cases a sequel could be better than the original though.

    in regards to the movies/sequals thing....if a movie has sequals why not just make it all one choice? Such as "Star Wars series" or "Major League 1 and 2" (3 doesn't count cuz it was garbage)

    Well.. good and bad with that

    A series may be a great series, but no one movie is say top 10 material... and that could make some people weigh things differently....

    I'd say a game for individual movies... AND maybe a game for movie series

    I don't see myself running a sports tourney of sorts. I handle only "Hollywood" entertainment. And not Leo's entertainment.

    Yeah, I was gonna say... WAKE UP PEOPLE! This is Kindom of Henry we're talking about. He doesn't know shit about sports. It's gotta be an entertainment tourney of some form.

    i'm suprised this post has yet to garner any sarcastic replies.
