Wear that really heavy duck denim, like Carhartt work jeans.  Maybe that will work.

I'm older than you.  I used to play Ain't Talking About Love on my Sony Walkman while I skied moguls as a youth, thinking that was coolest thing ever

did you used to watch those Warren Miller 80s ski movies? My Buddy and I would watch them on repeat.

As much as I hate to say it but Sports in general.  They just haven't felt the same to me over the more recent years.  I was as big of a sports nut as you can imagine growing up but I find myself less interested each passing year.

I still remember this commercial!  But yes sadly newspapers 

 

 

 

I actually liked following all sports standings on a paper versus the Internet

To build off what the OP posted, Nixon’s “war on drugs” didn’t work out so well, did it?  I’d say we lost that one miserably 😁

 

 

 

 

Government programs in general are a waste of our $$.  Too many hands on the money, and it never reaches its destination.

I think this is just the natural progression of things and part of getting older.  You have seen nearly everything.  Seasons, champions, players, etc come and pass seemingly overnight.  You get to a point where you are older than most/all athletes.

 

With that said too, things arent as good as 'in my day' which my dad used to try to tell me and I scoffed at it.  Im sure his dad told him that, and I tell my kid that too.

Grow it back. They're coming back around. What's old is new again

agreed. The Simpsons should have ended about 15-20 years ago.  South Park has reached that point also.

I’m at the same point with sports.  I’d add as well understanding the business side to it more.  John Starks was never my favorite basketball player but as a kid I thought how messed up it was when he got traded.  Plus per the post above I miss a good sports section in a newspaper.

 

That being said I’d still contend sports in general were better 15-30 years ago

I'll add another:  Men's suits *and* a man's desire to wear them correctly. 

 

I have lots of suits of different materials.  You can feel and see the quality in the older ones, whether they are full wool, seersucker cotton, blends.    I always purchased off the rack and then had them tailored.  Back in the day, you could get a well made suit off the rack from a variety of places you could dry clean many times and stores often carried a variety of styles and sizes.  Stores often had people who *knew* what they were talking about when it comes to suits.  

 

Today, off the rack suit quality is quite poor but you're paying back in the day price.  If you find a suit that's 70% wool, you're in luck.  A suit under $200 may last 2 dry cleanings.  If you spill something on it, you're probably SOL.    

 

On my second point, if men wear suits at all ,they often skip the often necessary step of having them tailored to their bodies which makes for an unflattering appearance.  It's ok to be skinny or have a belly.  Bodies aren't ideal.    Just make sure what you wear accentuates your appearance, not detract from it.

Sadly I think your right.  Although I'm not a fan I was listening to Mike Schopp on WGR one time and he did hit the nail on the head with this one when he said "You just wish sports could always look and feel the same way they did when you were 12 years old"

Professional Wrestling.  I was spoiled back the day. Wrestlers with great mic work who could really sell and well thought out story arcs. I watched WWE a few weeks ago.  I lasted 8 minutes.  Horrible. 

 

As a kid, Buffalo TV was great on Saturdays.  Mid-Atlantic at Noon on 29. Maple Leaf on 11 at 1. WWF at Midnight.  Plus, MSG. Philly and Cap Center house shows on International Cable 10.

 

Ah. memories.
