Lets say I left uncooked meat out and it turned a little brown then I froze it. The next day I cooked it well, and despite being brown when raw, I ate it. What are my odds of getting food poisoning

Very slim. Meat will last for days as long as it has been stored in a cool place.
As long as it was cooked through it will be OK.
When I was a boy before refrigerators, meat was kept on a plate covered by a tea towel, for several days in a meat cabinet.

Ground beef turns from red to brown when it's been exposed to air, so it's normal for meat to turn a little brown if it's been in the fridge for a day or two, because it was exposed to air when it was packaged. Always follow the use by date on the package, and use common sense. If it smells or feels differently than meat usually does, get rid of it. In fact, if you're not sure if meat is good, it's always safest to get rid of it.
Food poisoning hits fast--believe me, you'll know within a few hours if you have it!

You're fine, Drake.
If the meat was bad, it would have had an odd taste, feel or odor.
Also, depending on when you ate it, you would be debating about whether to kneel or sit...you would not be online right now.

Your chances of getting food poisoning is 99%, I hope you really didn't do that!

you most likely won't get food poisoning, but it definitely wasn't good meat.
blech. be careful doing that.next time, if possibly you're not gonna eat it, just toss it into the freezer right away...
