Prick gets into Canton and he still says this crap? Douche.
I didn't read the article (no access) so I have no context besides the one quote from OP. Was that quote in line with other quotes from the article?
Personally I think you got set off when someone compared him to Flutie 😜

Fran was fun to watch, his style was odd looking compared to all the pocket passers back then, most QBs back then were not athletic in that way, Minnesota, like us lost four championships, but not as wonderfully as we did, we did it best, 😁👍
Good synopsis, matches my memory. Someone else made a Flutie comparison whcih resonated with me. I don't remember Tarkenton scrambling for yards as much as I remember him scrambling for his life and trying to get the pass off.

I was talking to a buddy today, and we were lamenting how as kids we loved baseball, but now no longer follow it.
i was a die-hard Mets fan (would probably watch just about every game on TV), and knew everything about the Mets and MLB.
in 2002, when they threw dumb money at Mo Vaughn, decided to try to outspend the Yankees, and fired my beloved Bobby V, I basically quit following them (and baseball) cold turkey.
Anyone else doing something similar?
As a Mets fan who just got home after witnessing a God-awful loss a part of me envies you.

Off topic since it's a 2025 show in my area but Zakk Sabbath looks savage.
I saw a half hour instrumental set by Zakk Wylde a few years ago a third of which was devoted to a crushing/shredding version of N.I.B. Checked out the Zakk Sabbath setlist from June and it's right up my alley with some deeper tracks in favor of Paranoid or Iron Man.

This is a clear indication that Josh has become a game manager.
Good times.

Way back, I think it was late 1990's, I was heading home from a Bills game, on Rt 104 somewhere between Rochester and Oswego, going a "little" faster than the speed limit, when I see a state Trooper pull out ahead of me. Sure enough, as I pass him, he turns around, comes after me. I pull over and do what shall now be known as a Reverse Tyreek. I turn off the car, roll down my window, and be polite. He asks me if I knew why he pulled me over, I admit I was going a little fast, asks me where I was coming from, I answer Buffalo, was there to see the game and my sister. He asks me where she lived. I tell him Elma. He starts laughing. Turns out he grew up in Elma. Tells me to go slower and have a nice day.
Reverse Tyreek deserves more than an emoji.

That one reminds me of a time when I was living in Colorado during the 1990's.
I was chatting up this pretty young thing at a bar, when she mentioned that she was visiting from Nantucket. I said, "really? I have an old high school friend of mine that lives there."
We come to find out that this was his ex-girlfriend! Jim broke up with her just a month earlier.
<Did not get laid>
Which jogs my memory of the time me and friends were enjoying apres libations at Vail Colorado when my friend recognized that we had graduated from the same high school as the singer/guitarist.

Great story, thanks for sharing!
There have been a few mind-boggling crossed paths n my life but one stands out.
Around 10 -15 years ago we took a family trip to Alaska with my wife, her two brothers, their parents and all of our kids. Checking out of our hotel in Valdez (aka the middle of nowhere) my BIL struck up a conversation with a guy behind him also waiting to check out. They didn't know each other but as it turns out the guy had lived a block away from where my wifes family grew up. The timing of the encounter is stupefying to me.

They have every right to be there. It's a public street and they have every right to observe so long as they don't interfere or break the law.
Only thing I question here is whether they had the right to park their car on a public street. Seems doubtful but I don't know the area.

RIP Ed Kranepool. He was on every Mets roster from the inaugura season in 1962 until he retired in 1979.

(Bolded your statements and commented on each...you may have to expand to read them all)
I've been wondering the same about Vientos and first base. Also love that you're not putting the division out of reach. I've been keeping an eye on the Phillies but that still feels like a reach. Mets final 10 games are either an opportunity or a gauntlet depending on how you look at the glass of water.

Mets on a 9 game heater. Looking back on my last post "This isn't the time of year for moral victories" - what a difference a week+ makes. A few thoughts:
- Vientos has become what I wanted (and still fadingly hope) Alvarez will become. The road he took to get where he is makes no sense to me. His glove is still suspect so I can't lock him into 3B.
- it's been fun watching the starting pitching 'over-achieve'. More enjoyable than waiting for a $40 mill savior to get healthy
- just saw that Diaz is 16/22 in save situations. Brutal, but I don't expect a change until after the 25 season. His upside is seductive.
- McNeil out indefintely. Disappointing, I love what OMG-guy has done, just concerned if we have to rely on him at the plate

You should be immediately banned for making crap up.
This is completely false and easily proven with 30 seconds of research.
Let’s start with John Madden and the Raiders. 1st Superbowl 1976 - his 8th season with Oakland. Do you know him - got an entire video game franchise named after him.
How about Bill Cower? Started in 1992 in Pittsburgh - won his first Super Bowl in 2005 - so 13 years in Pittsburgh before his first Super Bowl. That message must have been super stale.
Then you have a coach like Tom Landry that won his first Super Bowl and first championship in year 12. Not all of them were SB years, but he never won a NFL championship before the merger either.
So that is 3 guys that break the thread. Then there are all of the coaches mentioned that coached for way more than 7 years on multiple teams before finding the magic to win one.
Is it common - No, but it has happened multiple times already in the history of the NFL.
🤦♂️🤷♂️
Outstanding!

Our inground has a circle with a rectangle coming out of it (shaped like a P kinda lol) the circle is all 3.5-4 feet deep and only starts to get deeper once you leave that part and go to the other end. Have a hoop and net that goes across the circle. Leaving the deeper end still open if you don’t want to be involved in the games. They sat down with us and asked what we were using it for and changed the design to suit our needs.
We had an above ground before and it rarely got used. Was a pain to get in and out with a bunch of people and would be a muddy mess around it. People would slip on the metal steps. Was hard to watch the kids in it unless you were right on top of the pool or in it. The in ground looks 100x better and you don’t have to use it to enjoy it. Just sitting next to it enjoying a drink is nice.
That's awesome that you had the pool custom designed fo dual purpose. Sounds great!
I'm assuming you had an up-and-down ladder for your above. Those suck for sure. For our second above we added a deck and got the wedding cake steps. It's a vast improvement over the ladder but most years I have to brave frigid waters to take the steps out and when it comes time to tear the pool down I'll have to contend with taking down the deck too.

That does not surprise me at all. People who work in that field are very often there for a reason.
Too true. There was an incident in NYC on July 4 where a drunk substance abuse counselor killed/injured a bunch of people.

Dweezil Zappa and band tonight. Much respect that he's still out there promoting all of Frank's music, not just the most well known. He also invoked his dads legacy with oddbal stuff on stage with the band. But even if you didn't know the songs or didn't care for the oddball stuff it'd still be hard not to appreciate Dweezil's solos - highlight(s) of the show for me all night long.

Two brutal losses, both at the hands of Diaz, ugh. I'm happy to report that I missed last nights meltdown. I was exhausted and figured it was a loss down 3-0 and getting dominated by the Dbags starter.
We were this close to going into todays game with the chance of a 8-2 road trip. This isn't the time of year for moral victories and even if we get to 6-4 it's a lost opportunity. I'm getting tired of thinking 'there's still time left'. The sands of time for
methe Mets 2024 season are running low.-

Came across this innocuous song the other day, fits my summer listening.
Looking forward to hearing a harder edge from Dweezil and band this Friday, apparently opening with this. Can't wait.

I hate playing the injury card - hell, look at the Braves this year - but it struck me when I saw Senga coming off a strong performance last year.

Turned on SNY early tonight and they were replaying an epic win against the Dbacks in early July. What struck me was that Senga went 8 and only gave up one run before a 9th inning rally.
When was the last season that the Mets didn't have a frontline starter miss significant time? DeGrom, Scherzer, Verlander, Senga. We have to be going on 5+ years, no?

Would have been a better chart if they broke the Status Column into two: 2020 Stats and Status.

I grew up with Bob Murphy, Ralph Kiner and Lindsey Nelson on WOR/9. I'm pretty sure they'd do 3 innings each and then also do radio for the same game. They may have kept two in the TV booth and one on radio. Another fun fact is that back in the day for the WS they'd bring in a home team announcer to join the national crew for each teams home games. Lindsey Nelson got the nod in '73.

Fran Tarkenton- I was Patrick Mahomes before there was a Patrick Mahomes
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I didn't read the article (no access), was Tarkenton claiming he was more accomplished than Mahomes?
