Stevie is who I thought of before even opening your thread. He did have his share of drops and fumbles that aggravated me to no end at the time but yeah that would be like the most fun combo I can think of to watch rock and roll

It came in my YouTube recommendations. Michigan vs Seton Hall National Championship in 1989. Even by today’s standards that shouldn’t have been a foul nonetheless 1989. Whole yeah Seton Hall might have shot themselves in the foot otherwise in overtime it still doesn’t make up for the fact that was a horrendous call! Enough so I’m even starting a thread on it all these years later. It can be argued Michigan might still have won. But for a National Championship it shouldn’t have went down like that! I think that was even worse than the Patriots/Bills game of 1999

It was funny in my case as well one time my ex bosses boss did all that moving around stuff on her desk on a Friday late after she left. And I’m just like I’m not gonna feel like on a Monday morning having my managers mood roll down on me. You know s**t rolls downhill. So I put the stuff back.

That actually happened where I work. My ex bosses boss saw her as a control freak and used to purposely move things around on her desk to mess with her.

Grimace's streak lives on 😅

too funny That's if Mr. Kimmel's attorney's somehow don't come after me or the mods here for it being posted 😅

Yeah I think it was Edwin’s first save in a month. It’s kind of sad I felt ecstatic and relived to see him get the job done Friday night but it is what it is. I did see that online about Grimace. Im not deluding myself into thinking we a got a good team this year but the reality is the Mets are only 2.5 games back of the playoffs. I think there’s a chance a team under .500 makes the playoff cut in the NL this year.

Rex Ryan- his ego destroyed such a dominant defense Kelvin Benjamin- ditto all comments before me on the dude Mario Williams- I really was expecting we were going to get a generational type player/talent with him at first. To me he was disappointing. The 4th one I had a hard time with but I'm going Tyler Bass. The missed field goal in the playoff game, his wide right kick against the Giants this year sent all sorts of PTSD with me. The team was lucky to win that game. I can't recall having this little faith in a Bills field goal kicker ever.

With Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel? The other thread about dads in the movies made me think a little about this. My best friend in high school used to bond with his Dad watching it. I'm sure many other father and sons could have as well once they met a certain age. 😁 I wasn't a huge fan but it was good for some laughs. Clips of it on Youtube are still pretty funny. Most of the comments are on how much James has sold out since then to put it nicely. I kinda got to agree. It was an amusing show though.

I can imagine this going on behind closed doors

Rocky 5 for me can belong in that thread as well cheesy stuff you still recall fondly. In this movies though Rocky wasn’t perfect as a dad but he tried. This scene always gets me choked up

Call Haushka out of retirement

Without looking it up I definitely recall him having some big games. Against the lions in 2014. The Jets finale in 2015. I tend to think bust is a strong word for him... more he didn't ultimately live up to his expectations.

This was a pretty good book https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=books/excerpt/050215 Yeah Bob Sr was as tough as they came and molded Bobby and Dan. Multiple times they were thrown out of practices playing for him

Yeah. It’s ironic as a college player Dan I think really felt in the shadow of his older brother to the point he quit playing. Now today the roles are reversed with him and Bobby.

His coaching style is great for college but I’m not sure how that would translate to the pros. Not that he couldn’t adapt just pro athletes don’t really take to his style as much these days.

I thought the way I did because even as kids he was like absent from school a lot and used to fabricate stories all the time. He seemed smart enough how to make it happen. I still believe Andy Kaufman and Tupac are some place enjoying life together. 😅 But famous or not this leads me to believe there’s people out there that lead lives and you just wonder if dying or disappearing is all part of their latest performance.

Recently I reconnected with someone I grew up with which was real cool. Then naturally that made wonder whatever happened to Mr. X. Apparently earlier in the year he went missing. Then one comment said he was located deceased. I was initially pretty upset but even when I knew Mr. X he was always pretty all over the place and erratic. A long story short I wouldn’t put it past him how I remember him. There’s no actual obituary for him online either or anything official indicating it. But just how common if at all is it?

@ExWNYer @Gugny @SinceThe70s I didn't watch the Phillies games but a pretty cool way to end it today for the W. I'll never forget this game in 2009 when Jeff Francouer hit into a triple play to end it against the Phillies. That was about as pissed I ever was at an ending in the middle of the season! Crazy thing is the Mets are only it looks like 3.5 games back of the 3rd Wild card. Not that I expect much but that's still within arms reach.

Idk about the Marriott. I stayed as well at some Holiday Inns on Niagara Falls Blvd. One was still pretty new. It wasn't the greatest view in the world but I was impressed at the size of the hotel room the one time I went there. To me it does the trick. Yeah that's why I love cities like Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. They have that rust belt sports crazed stereotype to outsiders. Some of which is true but there's other stuff beyond that as well. Like Pittsburgh had the Andy Warhol museum, Cleveland has a world class art museum among other stuff.

This is my favorite of his. It never gets old

I remember Sorrentino's across the street. Yeah that hotel definitely does the trick for me as well if I'm ever up that way.
