  1. I miss the good old days of boxing. In college we got Hagler v Hearns, Leonard v Hagler, Tyson's golden age. Not to mention prior to that when we had Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton. Boxing was the sweet science back then. It's disappeared since MMA came along. Boxing was must see TV back in the day.
  2. We shoot ourselves in the foot constantly.
  3. Gifted that with our second shanked punt
  4. I'll never forget the summer of '88. It was the only time I did some summer school to play a little catchup to get out in 4 years. Got like 30 people to each kick in $5 for the Spinx/Tyson fight and a keg. I got 2 beers before I sat down so I wouldn't have to get up for a bit. Sat down, and I think I got one or 2 sips in and the fight was over. I immediately yelled "no refunds!". We got drunk anyway.
  5. I think it was Rocky 7 "Adrian's Revenge" (IYKYK).
  6. Don't forget to buckle up for Bruins @ UDub tonight on Fox!
  7. Chi Kelly? Haha. If you want a coach that hates recruiting, go for it.
  8. These nominations would almost be comical, until you stop and remember that this man will have the nuclear codes.
  9. What's the origin of this one? One of my faves
  10. Nice. I did the Friday Night Lights at the RB last weekend. We both need it.
  11. But have to wait until after we beat you on Friday.
  12. New York's already been destroyed. Twice.
  13. I was just listening to NPR on my way in, and they were talking with some Brown professor about Trump's plan to shutter the Dept of Education. He was explaining that essentially the role of the DofE is to provide funding for underserved districts, and to pay for special ed and special needs programs. Essentially to attempt to level the playing field as much as possible so that wealthy communities with much larger property tax bases don't gain too great of an advantage over poorer communities with lower prop tax bases. His point was that while yes, some of these underfunded districts are in poorer inner city neighborhoods, a much larger portion on in rural communities in...you guessed it, largely red states. So when your shitty rural Arkansas district gets even shittier, well, enjoy.
  14. The Dodgers popularity in Japan is off the charts. Shohei's contract is paying for itself. And why wouldn't you want to come to play for an organization committed to winning, that is wildly popular in Japan, in a city with a large Japanese population, with teammates you can relate with? I told the story in the NLCS thread that my son and I got stopped by not one, but two, Japanese news crews getting off the train at Citi Field because we were wearing Dodger gear. Keep 'em coming!
  15. Every one of those people on either side would be in danger with me on the tee.
