Iceman

I like him too. Unfortunately he has one of the worst partners in the business.

I've been gone from Houston for 13 months. I miss the heat, humidity, and hurricane prep more than the fucking sports programming on the radio. What a fucking beating. Every station. Something so simple seems impossible for those motherfuckers.

Immamac, i hate to tell you this, but indications are... the offseason might NEVER be over.

I know, but he's better than anyone Helobious roots for, and that was the point. Baseball's different. It's an individual sport in a team setting, if you will.

He's the best player in the game today and will be for the era. Substitute Jose Altuve, if you must. Much beloved Yankee killer.

Hard to believe it could be better. couldn't they remake Backdraft or some shit?

I don't fucking care... and any money changing hands doesn't change that Harrison was a Grade AA Piece of Shit when it came to dirty plays.

Marine Corps Basic Training 1989... barely qualify as Marksman( lowest level) at the rifle range after a lifetime of shooting/ basically growing up with guns in my hands. Was completely pissed and requested to go see eye doc. Receive a brand new pair of birth control glasses. Got to re-qual with the pieces of shit who couldn't hit a barn... qualified Expert then and every time after that too. Senior Drill instructor gave me hell for being in denial of not being able to see shit. Lesson learned- when your shit is fucked up, go to the respective doctor and get it corrected.

9 MVPs in his sport, a sport with more players... Rings matter, but so does recognition as the best. My bigger point on Gretzky is the Lady Byng Trophies and the fact that he was recognized for his sportsmanship, repeatedly; along with being the best ever in his sport.

He's not wrong.

It's absolutely relevant when people like yourself deem Dak worthy of elite QB pay. It isn't stupid to say he is not the playmaker other QBs are in the league, because despite your abject denial, he is not. nor should the Cowboys pay him at that level. Miraculously, they offered him a generous contract. he declined, which is his perogative... But in no fucking realm or dimension has he demonstrated ability at thefucking level of compensation he is seeking. Again, more power to him, but at a certain point he can't sit there and eat his cake...while recognizing what his real place is in the league's pecking order at the position* * wild card is Jerry Jones just paying his ass, because Jerry is always ripe for an idiotic contract. On that front, I can't say i blame Dak. Full honesty- you truly think Dak is in the level of those top 4-5 QBs and their ability to change games/ affect defenses? If so, when does that ability start to be displayed on the field?

You might have a point if I didn't post anywhere else on the board or was starting shit politically in other threads, but holy shit, Batman; that ain't the case, now is it? It was a personal choice for me. No harm no foul. It's absolutely fucking amazing how there's a handful of people who insist, "No, you shouldn't be allowed to avoid CR..." I post in the football, basketball, and baseball boards no problem. TV and music boards occasionally. Quite a bit in the food/ beer board. Active in Fantasy Football threads in gambool. No problems. Whatever. The color yellow prolly makes you sad too... crybaby.

Which has more banners in aggyland 'Cruitin Titles or Halftimes?

so scary. I'm not a badass. I just show up. the point is that there are plenty of folks dealing with the real world just fine... But yeah, playing baseball in a stadium seems so daunting.

Tyler's in Amarillo. Again, not a shot at them. They communicated it openly to the customers that their price went up 3X on their supply.

anyone else's BBQ source raising prices? Well, I guess mine did not raise prices, but I have gone every week for the past 9 weeks and ordered 1/2 a pound of brisket, sliced. $14.02 Today i go and order and they say they are no longer selling by the pound/ half pound but only in meals( like a 2 meat plate) and sammiches. Said their cost went up 300% on brisket. I am not bemoaning the policy or bitching one iota. Just describing it and asking if anyone else has seen it.

Messier has 6 rings. Gretzky only 4. One of em is the GOAT in hockey by a huge ass margin...

In punter a position of need?

To add in to the counter point to a GOAT having to be an asshole, Gretzky won the Lady Byng Trophy( for sportsmanship, and it is a big deal in the NHL) in 1980, 91, 92, 94, and 99

Gretzky is even less debatable than Jordan as to his position as GOAT in his sport. Google alltime hockey stats... 4 Stanley Cups and the Conn Smythe in all 4 of them. He won the Hart Trophy(MVP) from 1980 to 87 and again in 89. Here's the records Gratzky holds: Regular season records (40)[edit] Most goals: 894 in 1,487 games[2] Most goals, including playoffs: 1,016 in 1,487 regular season games including 122 playoff goals[2] Most goals, one season: 92 in 1981–82, 80-game schedule[3] Most goals, one season, including playoffs: 100 in 1983–84, 87 goals in 74 regular season games and 13 goals in 19 playoff games Most goals, 50 games from start of season: 61 in 1981–82 (7 October 1981 to 22 January 1982, 80-game schedule) and 1983–84 (5 October 1983 to 25 January 1984), 80-game schedule Most goals, one period: 4 (Tied with 10 other players) 18 February 1981 Most assists: 1,963[4] Most assists, including playoffs: 2,223 Most assists, one season: 163 in 1985–86, 80-game schedule[5] Most assists, one season, including playoffs: 174 in 1985–86, 163 assists in 80 regular season games and 11 assists in 10 playoff games Most assists, one game: 7 (tied with Billy "The Kid" Taylor) on three occasions—16 February 1980; 11 December 1985; 15 February 1986[6] Most assists, one road game: 7 (tied with Billy "The Kid" Taylor) 11 December 1985 Most points: 2,857 in 1,487 games (894 goals, 1,963 assists)[7] Most points, including playoffs: 3,239 in 1,487 regular season and 208 playoff games.

Broken Records[edit] Gretzky’s record of 15 regular season overtime assists has now been passed by three players. They are Nicklas Lidstrom (16), Adam Oates (17), and Mark Messier (18). Joe Sakic (16), Mark Messier (14), and Ray Bourque (13) have passed Gretzky’s record (12) for most All-Star game assists. New Records[edit] Wayne Gretzky finished his career with a 1.921 points per game average. Mario Lemieux originally held the record when Gretzky retired with 2.005 points per game, but after Lemieux came back to the NHL from 2000 to 2005, his points per game average fell to 1.883, falling to second behind Gretzky. Unofficial records[edit] Along with his numerous official records, Wayne Gretzky also has many "unofficial" records. These other records - though not recognized by the NHL Official Guide and Record Book - are still significant records. NHL scoring records[edit] Youngest player to score 50 goals in a season (19 years, two months) Most points by an NHL player in his first year: 137. Because of Gretzky's season played in the WHA, he was not considered a rookie in his first year, so the rookie record belongs to Teemu Selanne with 132 Most assists by an NHL player in his first year: 86. The rookie record is held jointly by Peter Stastny and Joe Juneau with 70 assists. Note that the record book gives Gretzky the record for most assists and points in a game as a first year player, but not the season totals Most 200-or-more point seasons: 4. Gretzky owns the official record for most 100 point seasons. He is the only player to reach 200 points in a season Most consecutive 200 point seasons: 3 Most 70-or-more goal seasons: 4. The NHL has a record for most 60 goal seasons, but not 70. Eight players have achieved 70 goals, and Brett Hull did so three times. Most consecutive 70 goal seasons: 4 Most 80-or-more goal seasons: 2 Most 90-or-more goal seasons: 1. Gretzky is the only player to achieve this Fastest 50 goals from start of season: 50 goals in 39 games. The mark of 50 goals in 50 games is a rare event, achieved by only five players. The quickest, 50 goals in 39 games, is often labelled as the most difficult one to break of all of Gretzky's records. The NHL has an official record for the most goals in first 50 games, but not the fastest 50 goals Fastest 100 points: 34 games in 1983–84 Most seasons averaging at least 1 point per game: 19 Most consecutive seasons averaging at least 1 point per game: 19 Most seasons averaging at least 2 points per game: 10 Most consecutive seasons averaging at least 2 points per game: 9 Most game-winning goals in the playoffs: 24 (tied with Brett Hull) Most game-winning assists in one season: 23 Most game-winning assists in regular season career: 234 Most game-winning points in regular season career: 325 Highest career game-winning points per game average: 0.2185 Most 100-or-more assist seasons: 11 Most consecutive 100-or-more assist seasons: 11 Most seasons leading in even strength goals: 4 Most career even strength goals: 617 Most seasons leading in short-handed goals: 5 Most seasons leading in assists: 16 Most seasons leading in points: 11 Most seasons leading in both goals and assists: 5 (this was only achieved 7 other times in history, with Gordie Howe (2) and Mario Lemieux (2) accounting for 4 of those other occurrences). Most seasons leading the league in goals, assists and Plus/Minus: 4 (no other player has done this, although Plus/Minus was only counted since 1967). Most seasons leading in goals created: 7 Most seasons leading in assists per game: 12 Most seasons leading in points per game: 11 Most seasons leading in total goals on-ice for: 8 Most short-handed regular season career goals: 73 Most short-handed goals career (regular season & playoffs) : 85 Most 10+ shorthanded goals in a season : 2 Most shorthanded assists career (regular season) : 76 Most shorthanded assists career (playoffs) : 13 Most shorthanded assists career (regular season & playoffs) : 89 Most shorthanded points career (regular season) : 149 Most shorthanded points career (playoffs) : 24 Most shorthanded points career (regular season & playoffs) : 173 Most scoring championships (Art Ross Trophy😞 10 Largest margin of victory in the scoring race: 79 (in 1983–84) Most seasons where he was his team's leading scorer: 19 Highest Plus/Minus in a single playoff year: +28 (1984–85) Highest Plus/Minus by a forward, single season: +100 Highest Plus/Minus by a forward, career: +520 Highest Plus/Minus by a Center in Playoff Career: +67 Most MVP awards (Hart Memorial Trophy😞 9 Most trophies in career: 31 Former mark as youngest player to score three or more goals in an All-Star Game was passed by Dany Heatley in 2003. Most official NHL records: 61 on retirement, 60 at present (As of April 2018, 19 years after his last game) Major league scoring records[edit] Most NHL and WHA regular season assists: 2,027 – Gretzky's 1384th career assist occurred on November 2, 1990, in Washington's 4-3 win over the Kings, breaking the record held by Gordie Howe. Most NHL and WHA regular season points: 2,967 – Gretzky broke the record held by Gordie Howe on March 9, 1992, with an assist on a first period goal by Tony Granato to make the game score Los Angeles 2, Toronto 0 (final was 4-1). It was his 2359th career point on 1567 assists and 792 goals. Most NHL and WHA goals, regular season (940) and playoff (132): 1,072 (one more than Gordie Howe), with Gretzky's final goal on March 29, 1999, being the game-winner with 2:07 remaining in the Rangers' 3–1 win over the New York Islanders Most NHL and WHA regular season and playoff assists: 2,297 Most NHL and WHA regular season and playoff points: 3,369 Milestone records[edit] Source: Big Mouth Sports[24] The following are NHL milestone records: Only Player To Reach 2000 Career Points Only Player To Reach 3000 Career Points, Regular Season and Playoffs combined Only Player To Reach 1000 Career Goals, Regular Season and Playoffs combined Only Player To Reach 2000 Career Assists, Regular Season and Playoffs combined Goals[edit] Youngest 100 Goals (20 years, 40 days) Fastest & Youngest 200 Goals (242 games)- Modern Record, Cy Denneny scored 200 goals in 181 games, (21 years, 256 days) Fastest & Youngest 300 Goals (350 games), (22 years, 321 days) Fastest & Youngest 400 Goals (436 games), (23 years, 352 days) Fastest & Youngest 500 Goals (575 games), (25 years, 299 days) Fastest & Youngest 600 Goals (718 games, one fewer than Mario Lemieux), (27 years, 302 days) Fastest & Youngest 700 Goals (886 games), (29 years, 342 days) Fastest & Youngest 800 Goals (1116 games), (33 years, 53 days) Assists[edit] Fastest 100 Assists (92 games) Fastest & Youngest 200 Assists (165 games), (20 years 264 days) Fastest & Youngest 300 Assists (229 games), (21 years 43 days) Fastest & Youngest 400 Assists (290 games), (21 years 362 days) Fastest & Youngest 500 Assists (352 games), (22 years 325 days) Fastest & Youngest 600 Assists (416 games), (23 years 307 days) Fastest & Youngest 700 Assists (478 games), (24 years 267 days) Fastest & Youngest 800 Assists (527 games), (25 years 11 days) Fastest & Youngest 900 Assists (584 games), (25 years 320 days) Fastest & Youngest 1000 Assists (645 games), (26 years 282 days) Fastest & Youngest 1100 Assists (706 games), (27 years 276 days) Fastest & Youngest 1200 Assists (774 games), (28 years 65 days) Fastest & Youngest 1300 Assists (846 games), (29 years 50 days) Fastest & Youngest 1400 Assists (913 games), (30 years 38 days) Fastest & Youngest 1500 Assists (986 games), (31 years 38 days) Fastest & Youngest 1600 Assists (1068 games), (32 years 308 days) Fastest & Youngest 1700 Assists (1179 games), (34 years 267 days) Fastest & Youngest 1800 Assists (1286 games), (35 years 322 days) Fastest & Youngest 1900 Assists (1404 games), (37 years 54 days) Points[edit] Fastest 100 Points (61 games)- Modern Record, Joe Malone and Newsy Lalonde share the record by scoring 100 points in 51 games.[25] Fastest 200 Points (117 games) Fastest & Youngest 300 Points (159 games), (20 years, 67 days) Fastest & Youngest 400 Points (197 games), (20 years, 335 days) Fastest & Youngest 500 Points (234 games), (21 years, 52 days) Fastest & Youngest 600 Points (274 games), (21 years, 330 days) Fastest & Youngest 700 Points (317 games), (22 years, 62 days) Fastest & Youngest 800 Points (352 games), (22 years, 325 days) Fastest & Youngest 900 Points (385 games), (23 years, 47 days) Fastest & Youngest 1000 Points (424 games), (23 years, 328 days) Fastest & Youngest 1100 Points (464 games), (24 years, 50 days) Fastest & Youngest 1200 Points (504 games), (24 years, 321 days) Fastest & Youngest 1300 Points (539 games), (25 years, 38 days) Fastest & Youngest 1400 Points (580 games), (25 years, 313 days) Fastest & Youngest 1500 Points (620 games), (26 years, 44 days) Fastest & Youngest 1600 Points (667 games), (26 years, 330 days) Fastest & Youngest 1700 Points (711 games), (27 years, 285 days) Fastest & Youngest 1800 Points (754 games), (28 years, 23 days) Fastest & Youngest 1900 Points (803 games), (28 years, 318 days) Fastest & Youngest 2000 Points (857 games), (29 years, 273 days) Fastest & Youngest 2050 Points (882 games), (29 years, 341 days) Fastest & Youngest 2100 Points (908 games), (30 years, 27 days) Fastest & Youngest 2200 Points (962 games), (30 years, 349 days) Fastest & Youngest 2300 Points (1026 games), (32 years, 39 days) Fastest & Youngest 2400 Points (1091 games), (32 years, 351 days) Fastest & Youngest 2500 Points (1165 games), (34 years, 81 days) Fastest & Youngest 2600 Points (1244 games), (35 years, 52 days) Fastest & Youngest 2700 Points (1331 games), (36 years, 67 days) Fastest & Youngest 2800 Points (1422 games), (37 years, 264 days)

The Breakfast Club and we never get to go home again.

Gretzky Trout Neither one of them had the 'asshole' tag on their clubhouse personna. the Astros are still Altuve's team and he clowns with the best of em; although Lance McCullers found out not to fuck around the wrong way and show up a teammate.

compromise is so 19th century...

I prefer the Stars' current unis to the old ones. It's not love of tradition or whatever the accusation seems to be. I'm fine with the newer Double T, although i prefer the old one. It's just that some of the color combos and logos are truly fucked up and it's as if the decision makers just say, "Fuck it, we're rolling..."

Yep, just like a lot of folks right now are having to do funerals. Do the physical nuts and bolts of the wedding/ funeral now. Schedule a memorial/ wedding reception when restrictions open up.
