  1. The thing where she took 6 days to put together a story from 35 years ago is unbelievable!
  2. And, all the libs replying to the tweets about this are saying things like "See, I told you there would be more" etc...............Like another super foggy story from 35 years ago clears everything right up.
  3. This is the first I ever heard this Drury story.
  4. I hate replay so much. If they got it right more often, I'd be better with it.
  5. What time is the segment or is it's own separate one on the app?
  6. He doesn't know. That's why I wanted to give him some ideas. The hell with him. How can I have a career sitting on my ass and enjoying free time? I just wish I had had some better guidance or ideas when I was his age. I went into accounting because I was good at it and it had a lot of openings every year.................But, I think marketing would have been more fun - but didn't think I could was creative enough. I found out later that I could be - and that I was a lot better writer than I had thought when I was 22.
  7. Cory has a bad memory. In 1992, he claims to have been hearing the theme from Top Gun in 1984, when the movie didn't come out until 1986: “New Year's Eve 1984 I will never forget. I was 15. As the ball dropped, I leaned over to hug a friend and she met me instead with an overwhelming kiss. As we fumbled upon the bed, I remember debating my next 'move' as if it were a chess game,” Booker wrote in the student-run Stanford Daily newspaper in 1992. “With the 'Top Gun' slogan ringing in my head, I slowly reached for her breast. After having my hand pushed away once, I reached my 'mark,’” he continued, without explaining what he meant by “mark.”
  8. Actually reading the Parachute info on Amazon, it talks alot about networking apparently. I can give him my copy of Carolla's book. Very funny book.............He really does well with #3, so I don't think that's anything he needs direction in. I don't know if he's going to be making any business deals at 22!
  9. My Godson really doesn't know what he wants to do when he graduates with a business degree. I wish I had explored more things at that age. I know a book that somebody gave me and I figured it was too late, I was an accounting major so that's what I have to do - I'm 22 and it's too late to turn back now - was What Color is Your Parachute. Is that still a good one to get him. I know it's on something like it's 35th edition...........Or does somebody have a better suggestion? Book or otherwise?
  10. What happened to Ryan? Did his pit bull eat him?
  11. Why would I need to that. I already have a link of you making the claim. What more do I need?
  12. I was going to add that, but I was too baffled to figure out if that's what really is going on. I figured I needed more coffee.
  13. it's really not. I never heard that claim you're making.
  14. The link goes to the Trump Foreign Policy thread. Am I missing something?
  15. You really don't get it. I don't know what your deal is. I've seen your name, but I never really noted anything about you. Now I have - you're ultra sensitive. You say GMs have used the word and I say that's what it is - I'm not a GM. Then, you come up with GM type info you had and I say a similar thing.............Real douchey things I guess if you're sensitive as hell. I'm not the one who went after your point of view, you went after mine. And, I didn't even state a fact - I said I've never seen it.
  16. Yeah, that's me. Here was the inflammatory post that I made to start this whole thing - "I never even heard of the term "generational player" until the McDavid/Eichel draft - where we had two, defying all logic." And, then I replied to your Crosby, etc. post by saying "Correct - I never heard the term "generational player" applied to them. It seems to be a new term to me" That's real douchey stuff I'm doing there.
  17. The best was that we drafted Wayne Primeau and Keith Gretzky when we should have drafted Keith Primeau and Wayne Gretzky. Ah, still mad about that loss, huh? I've been reading the sports page since I was in first grade, which was in 1968. The fact that I came up with the actual date the term was coined doesn't matter, huh?
  18. Whoever was in on the discussion. Possibly other people. It also seems to be a popular subject if you google it - comes up on many boards. Any more questions?
  19. Google comes up with nothing about Gretzky being called one. This is what I'm coming up with as the origin: Ever since the term “generational talent/player” was coined roughly a decade in the 2005 National Hockey League (NHL) Draft, a highly-anticipated draft that produced the current fact of the NHL https://obiter-dicta.ca/2016/11/22/why-landing-a-generational-talentplayer-through-todays-national-hockey-league-draft-is-so-difficult/
