Let me ask you this. Is he on his way to one of the 10 best seasons of all time? He's won 3 of the six tournaments he's played in, also has a 5th place. All loaded fields. Unarguably he's won the biggest 2 so far this year, TPC and Masters. Arguably the AT&T Pro Am is the third biggest so far. What would it take to make it a top 10 season. Would another major, signature even, and FedEx championship do it given his limited schedule?

Never saw Dazed and Confused but used to bond with my nephew watching Boston Public. Died a few days ago but didn't see anything on it until today, apologies if this has been posted. https://variety.com/2025/film/news/nicky-katt-dead-boston-public-1236368189/

Was good at everything from baseball to soccer. But could never get the hang of swimming. Never passed intermediate swim in spite of growing up with a pool in my back yard. Spent a lot of time in the shallow end.

That's one way of looking at it. I prefer to think that they're 1 of an elite 8 teams still playing today!

Solid point. She was in her mid 60's when the show was popular. Certainly aged well.

Can't tell from this, are you a Ginger or Mary Ann guy?

What I find amazing is that evidence between cell phones and brain cancer is inconclusive. These studies have been going on for decades.

me too.

Had to be to make a living at golf back then. Those guys knew but for the fans they'd be working in a factory. Not sure today's players realize that.

Remember he got paralyzed playing for the Jets. Remember he walked again and a movie was made about it. Didn't know he died in a car accident in 2016. Thankfully his son survived. A bit late with this but RIP.

Just because the judge said it doesn't make it true. Most of the detainees in WWII under the Alien Enemies Act were of Japanese descent. They were treated horribly.

these pretty much cover my prepubescent TV crushes.

RIP. Here's a "where are they now" article from 2010. Actually when I look at the date it was from exactly 15 years ago. No cause of death in the obit but the motorcycle accident in 2007 likely had something to do with it, wheelchair bound since then. https://www.houstontexans.com/news/where-are-they-now-matt-stevens-2658676

64 RIP

Inspired by the Muggsy Bogues post above, Spud Webb was a 5'7" guard that won the 1986 dunk contest without being able to palm the ball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1YRJvFvlgg

You open up by calling the demographic that supports Trump a racist name and say they're the racist haters. For the umteenth time, so long as the left choose DEI initiatives (that have no more to do with diversity, equity, or inclusion than the inflation reduction act had to do with reducing inflation) and open borders as the proverbial "hill they're willing to die on" they'll continue to die on that hill (apologies to those that read the analogy in other threads.)

Unbelievable that Dems continue to double down on DEI initiatives (which have no more to do with diversity, equity, or inclusion that the inflation reduction act had to do with reducing inflation) and open borders as the proverbial hills they're willing to die on. Feels like I've said that before.

60's and 70's were the peak of heavyweight boxing. Foreman was a big part of it. Along with Ali and Frazier of course, Liston and Patterson before that. As the 70's came to an end so did the luster around the division. I remember George talking about his fight with Ali decades later. He said in the early rounds Ali kept yelling at me "is that all you got, is that all you got" and I thought to myself, as a matter of fact it is. edit: almost forgot, rest in peace.

Outside of the preseason hamstring injury all the injuries have been week 8 or later. So this should work out, Ogunjobi will be back by then.

I did and it is

Pete Reiser. Stealing home, running into center field fence. "There will never be a ballplayer as good as Willie Mays, but (Pete) Reiser was every bit as good, and he might have been better. Pete Reiser might have been the best ballplayer I ever saw. He had more power than Willie. He could throw as good as Willie. Mays was fast, but Reiser was faster. Name whoever you want to, and Pete Reiser was faster. Willie Mays had everything. Pete Reiser had everything but luck." Leo Durocher

A good one for sure, thanks for recommending. Listening to L. Ron Hubbard 3 parter now. What a dirtbag!

In other breaking news, water is wet, the sky is blue, and taxes are due in less than a month.

I'd ask if we were in the same first grade class, but I'm pretty sure this scene was played out in classrooms across the country. Besides, we didn't have school busses in my district.

Great topic MDK, thanks for starting it. Have a feeling it will be on the first page or two of OTW for quite a while.
