Barry McGuigan-Stevie Cruz was my favorite saturday afternoon fight.  15 rounds in the hot Vegas sun   Not sure how anyone signed off on that

Late to this but I echo BiL sentiment about Hagler-Leonard.  At that time I followed boxing as fervently as baseball and basketball (dovetailed perfectly with the rise of Tyson, locally Vinny Paz, before I realized how much of a cock he was, and my cousin becoming an amateur boxer).  Nerd that I was, while my cousin was in the basement hitting t…[Read more]

At least YYZ is at the end of disc 2.

Jordan would have strangled Loyko with a shoelace if he brought even a sniff of his bullshit to his brand.  Where’s Coach in his investigation?  The fucking Warren Commission delivered in less than a year

I had a sports weekend in Denver back in 1997 or 98 – Rockies Friday night, Colorado-Michigan Saturday, Rockies Sunday afternoon, Broncos Sunday night. Turned out to be too much.

CU game was very fun. The buffalo run was a trip.

Somewhere between 98-2000 or so the Red Sox had doubleheaders on back to back weekdays. A few of my f…[Read more]

I call complete and utter bullshit on anyone either claiming to or being characterized as wanting to be a coach in 6th grade. In 6th grade you dream of being a professional athlete and actually playing the game. I had zero hope of making the NBA when I was 12 but damn if I didn’t shoot baskets in my driveway or work on moves and t…

Is there a “new coach’s gung-ho philosophy” spiel that Fatty hasn’t fallen for yet? Jesus, you’d think someone who has been around the NFL for 40+ years and has seen a lot of failure might have something of a cynical eye.  But nope- someone who chooses to be great is bound for glory, no questions asked.  That his last name is Rhule and can be us…[Read more]

Do they release the totals? Whoever finishes third any given year should either be dropped from the ballot or at least pushed off for 5 years.  There are going to be so many people coming up with multiple rings that to waste a slot on Bubbledick would only go towards satisfying boomer sportswriters circle jerking

Mom, the interview is right before the section where I *rerun* a story about someone farting too much on a plane! *Mom dies*

With the caveat that I don’t intend for this to ever come to pass..IF I am ever caught in flagrante by my better half, you’re damn right I’ll be deploying the Earl Thomas “this stuff happens, bro”. I will spare her a…[Read more]

I love the “he’s good enough for Canton but not Foxboro(ugh)”  Is Willie Mays in the Mets HoF? Shaq’s 36 going up in the rafters at the Garden?

The Shulas in Providence was open way longer than it should have been

re: that Earl Thomas story- first off,

but for those who are, with his brother?  Even without and sword crossing,   times 1000.  Though I’d expect no less of a product of the Poodle/Brother Jim programs

Big fan as well Miz.  Never saw the movie (no good reason) but the format lends itself well to TV

loved the Colin Robinson “I’m not sure what my deal is..” Audience surrogate!

They’re equally putrid, but at least Fatty works, so you could count on several hours of the day that he’d be in another room taking calls. Gill would probably follow you all day, explaining “valuencing” and asking you for work.

Agreed. Fatty is a star fucker and would get bored with us rabble and leave us alone. …[Read more]

An out of the box thinker could bring in this guy as a consultant.  I’m sure he’s available

Anyone read The Plot Against America? Enjoyed the show but due to it’s relative brevity (6 hours) it seems like a lot of source material was compressed/ignored

Best description/criticism of the uneveness of Hunters’ tone- the scenes w/Nazis are like Inglorious Basterds, the scenes w/the hunters are like Munich, the flashback scenes are like Schindler’s list.  I’m dumbing it down a bit but essentially that.  I agree, just not bothered by it.

D2 safety! Fucking love it.  I wouldn’t mind one bit if BB spent all of his good will capital endlessly double birding the league and fanz

Hunters didn’t really “earn” the twists in the finale but fuck it, entertaining enough show.  My bar is low these days
