  1. Special day when we have an Ickey Woods sighting...
  2. Funny you should say that... I was watching "A Football Life" of Jerry Rice just now and there were a couple of mentions of Rice being the "Greatest Football Player" ever... I remember Bill Walsh saying that once when both he and Ditka worked the pregame show for NBC. Ditka came unglued. Something like, "I've never seen Jerry Rice make a tackle. We had 13 interceptions one year and Walter made the tackle on 12 of them. Can Jerry Rice block? Can he punt? Can he throw? Walter Payton could!" I'll say Rice is the best receiver ever, but football player? I'll take Sweetness...
  3. Thinking about it, were actually square with the Giants...1989 got them even for the Merkle Boner... Damn good thing Johnny Evers knew force out rules...
  4. You're right...but as @Seeking6 said above, we have a score to settle with them too...
  5. And I say in my opinion they shouldn't addressing it at all. Simple as that. You seem to want to belabor this point, but I don't think I can be any more clear.
  6. That the legislative branch should have other priorities than to trying to " fix" something that isn't really broken. There's plenty of suffering and need in the US that should be addressed over 18-22 year olds who are already getting a free college education for playing a sport that they (supposedly) love...
  7. I just noticed that if the playoffs started today, it'd be the Mets, Cubs, Cardinals, Padres, and Dodgers... Boy, for Cubs fans if we could win with that crowd, talk about at the end of the year being able to go all Michael Corleone... "All family business was settled today."
  8. It would have been cool if the distraught housewife would have said, "if you would rescind this ban, it'd be the greatest thing since, well, I don't know what, but it would be great!"
  9. In the article I linked, it says the National Labor Relations Board struck down that attempt...
  10. So to you, IFR means "Intergalactic Flight Rules?" 😁
  11. It's not about "doing more than one thing at a time." I don't think the legislative branch of our government should be involved in this at all...
  12. As much as they know about baseball they probably prefer Seth Rogan...
  13. Link If one of my representatives was involved, I'd be trying to round up the recall votes...they have bigger fish to fry...
  14. <for @IU Scott> Maybe they don't teach basic force out rules in travel ball...
  15. Even if the first baseman would have stood there and watched Contreas score THEN ran dsown and put his foot on the bag, the run wouldn't have counted... And what were the other Pirate infielders doing? Watching a John Wayne movie? You'd think one of them would have had the forethought to run over to first, wouldn't you?
  16. Like Tim Kurkjian said, stupidest play I've seen in baseball after watching for over 50 years at any level...
  17. White Castle chicken rings are good, but their Onion Chips are the best... I'm gonna start lobbying to bring White Castle to Texas, dammit!
  18. Not to mention Hollywood cranks out 100 crap movies for every 1 that's even marginally good... So unoriginal anymore too...they just remake movies with overdone computer special effects and expect people to watch it...
  19. I am a Cubs fan that lived just across the river from St Louis...had Cardinal season tickets (2 years, 1981 and 1982) and probably went to well over 200 games in the 7 years I lived there...when the Cubs came to town, I wore a Cubs jersey and hat... So yeah, I've been intentionally hit with everything from hot dogs to peanuts...😁
  20. LeBron said, "what if the shoe was on the other foot?" Yes, let's examine that... What kind of punishment would a player deserve if he did that to a fan?
  21. Always wanted one of these, so I bought this one today...these are illegal in some states, but not Texas (or Indiana)...
  22. Yeah, Wieskamp still has his name in the NBA draft for now...If he doesn't go, he's back at Iowa...
  23. So the key B1G players still in limbo are... Liddell and Washington-Ohio State Ayala and Wiggins-Maryland Harper and Baker-Rutgers Dickinson-Michigan Wieskamp-Iowa In my opinion, in that order of importance...Anyone else?
  24. Hunter Dickinson entered the NBA draft but left the door open to return to UM...
  25. I don't know if this is shocking to this crowd or not, but federal workers, including contractors, are not required to get the vaccine... I can't even ask my employees if they've gotten it...Although the government gives them 4 hours of admin leave (doesn't come off of their annual leave or sick leave totals) to get the shot...But they don't have to provide me with proof that they did get it... You can thank public unions for all of this...
