  1. Motorcycle Cop: [Mike and Steve are borrowing their friend's souped up police cruiser. However, a harsh bump in the road broke the seal on the nitrous system and nitrous oxide has been leaking in to the car. They've just been pulled over] Tell me, officer, do you have any idea how fast you were going?

    Mike: Well, I got a 426 hemi here, 3/4 cams, nitro boosters, I can get 'er up to as good as 155! Never do, though, of course, unless I'm chasing a cute chick in a Ferrari! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I guess I was goin' about... 65, tops.

    Motorcycle Cop: SEVEN! SEVEN miles an hour! And normally, when I stop people, they pull onto the *shoulder*!

     

     

    :thumbdown: One of my all-time favorite movie scenes

  2. My grandfather took a bullet in the ass during the Korean war. I remember asking him if it hurt? He said "not as much as the teasing from his buddies". Much respect for these guys.

    Respect. :wallbash:

  3. This thread was inspired by the Pittsburgh one, I've never been to the Burgh but I have visited Cleveland many times and really have a warm spot for that city. It reminds me so much of Buffalo but everything is just a little bit nicer and has more of a "big-city" feel. Have always been treated great by the locals there, have been to many great restaurants, toured the city, been on a great boat ride on Lake Erie, toured Jacobs field and many other cool things. For any WNYer's who never have been there before I highly recommend making a trek over there because its so close to home and fairly cheap. Anybody else enjoy Cleveland as much as I do?

  4. I think one of the biggest reasons why they hated each other was because of how competitive they were, they both wanted to be the #1 guy no questions asked but they always had to deal with the other guy being there as well. In the piece they both talked about how they always paid attention to what the other one did and how it motivated their performance's. I mean sure nowadays you have your Ovechkin v.s. Crosby and your Lebron v.s. Kobe but these are not even close to the intensity of the Bird & Magic rivalry.

  5. Its hard to explain unless you watched the games back then but in that era the NBA had more of a football/hockey style to its game. It was much more physical and aggressive and nobody represented that more than Larry Bird. Ironically on ESPN classic today they were playing game 7 of the Lakers/Celtics final from 84. I was busy today so I didn't watch the whole thing but I watched it briefly and it was really good stuff...highly competitive, both teams leaving everything they had on the court and those two teams had a special hatred but respect for each other. The closest thing to it I've seen in more recent times was the Avs-Red Wings rivalry in the NHL and even that was quite awhile ago now. Man I miss the good old days

    I caught the full documentary on HBO last night, it was an excellent piece of work. Besides Magic and Bird fans, I would also recommend it for any diehard basketball fans, people who are into sports history or rivalries, and pretty much any big sports fan in general. I really wish we had competitive rivalries on this level nowadays but this one will always be one of a kind.
