  1. Actually, it pre-dates Steinbrenner...but it's not ancient history either... We have fans from both the teams involved on this board...
  2. Yes, the Yankees were involved, but not Billy Martin...
  3. Rico's manager post in the baseball thread made me think of this one... What manager won the World Series, then was hired for the next year by the team that his team had beaten in the series...
  4. Welcome aboard, Logan! It'll be exciting to see this kid develop...already has a lot of tools, including a pretty good handle for a big kid...
  5. This isn't "project blue." "All dead" is a little over the top... I see people and businesses taking sensible steps. More people wearing masks, less people in the stores. We'll overcome this thing. And while I worry about the police having carte blanche to stop a car for no lawful reason now, I worry more about the precedence it sets for the future...
  6. Damn Cajuns... Seriously, I think that's going a bit far. Again, to me, there are constitutional considerations. It's like the DUI/drug checkpoints. I don't agree with those either... Your rights are never going to just all be snatched away at once. They'll just slowly erode...
  7. Hall of Famer Bobby Mitchell passes away at 84... He was the first African-American on the Redskins...there was a great story he told on the video "75 Seasons." Redskins owner George Preston Marshall, who never wanted the Redskins to integrate but succumbed to pressure, had the team assemble for a team picture shortly after Mitchell was traded to them from the Browns. After the photo, Marshall insisted the team sing "Hail to the Redskins." Mitchell said he didn't know the words so he just stood there. So Marshall yells at him, "Bobby Mitchell! SING!" Mitchell laughing, said, "I just started moving my lips." Great man, civil rights activist, and helluva football player. RIP Bobby...
  8. The "stay at home" orders/restrictions opens up a huge constitutional can of worms...
  9. Who the hell didn't "social distance" from him? I thought Joe Exotic was in jail?
  10. I read that what Governor Cuomo is afraid of is that people who need it for arthritis and lupus (two conditions it's commonly prescribed for) won't be able to get it... Not sure that holds much water, but that's what I read...
  11. Tom Dempsey passes away at 73 from COVID-19 I remember seeing the 63 yard FG on highlights that day. Alex Karras said when he kicked it, it sounded like a cannon going off. And I always heard he was one of the Saints best tacklers on kickoffs... RIP TD...
  12. Good luck...I hope this works out for small business owners and we working class folks...
  13. This is the main function of my car nowadays...Cat bed...
  14. I demand a recount! 😁
  15. Reggie Bush, but the NC was vacated
  16. He never won a SB...Lost the only one he was in to the Broncos...
  17. Thought of another one...Marcus Allen...so throw Desmond Howard out
  18. I got Plunkett, Woodson, Dorsett, and Howard?
  19. Oh, I've read my fair share on the subject, the best being "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner. He asserts the Oswald was the lone gunman (which I believe) and lays out his case very well (I've also watched "JFK" which I consider trash, and the History Channel documentary that you referenced, which I thought was quite good, and very true).. But Posner leaves a few loose ends about Oswald's contacts and movements by either glossing them over with flimsy details, or outright dismissing them...his commentary on Ruby is weak as well...
  20. That's part of the conspirators advantage. Truth gets mixed with fiction and the truth gets lost. While I think many of the JFK assassination conspiracy theories are crackpot, there are still a myriad of questions that have never been answered to my satisfaction.
  21. I think we need to start looking harder into the Chinese, their numbers, and the WHO... I smell a rat...
  22. Excellent! Hint: the father played in a Final 4 against one of other father's you noted the year after he'd won his championship...
  23. Saw a good one today... Name the 4 father/son duos that have each won an NCAA Division I basketball championship as a player... One if them should be easy 😉
  24. After listening to the President's briefing yesterday, I'm not sure staying under 300,000 cases is feasible. The projection as of now is between 100,000 and 240,000 fatalities from this virus. Very sad... Hunker down folks...the next month is going to be bumpy...
