ubkev Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Bottom line is that Bud Selig is in the hall of fame on the backs of a league that was juiced out of their minds. He knew and didn't care in the least. "Get me some ratings Big Mac and Sammy! Keep hitting balls to other planets, Barry!" Chicks dig the long ball was a marketing campaign. The fact that Jeff Bagwell, Mike Piazza and David Ortiz are all in the Hall while the MLB career leaders in Hits, the MLB career leader in HR and the American League all time K's leader aren't is completely ridiculous. Oh, and Bonds and Clemens never actually tested positive for banned substances. PS: The Hall is still my favorite museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Congrats to Nadal for 21. Thanks to the absence of the two men responsible for 10 of the previous 11 championships, Nadal was able to seize the opportunity and complete his second career grand slam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Ok this is too far. I swallowed my tongue for over a decade with “Enter Sandman” becoming Mariano Rivera’s song, as absurd as that was, but this Virgina Tech Co-opting the song to start the home basketball games is just weird. 1) Situationally the song makes no sense. Are the Hokies going to put the other team to sleep? Do they think it intimidates the other team? 2) it’s super ***** random. Did Robert Trujillo attend VT? What’s the tie in?

Obviously super late here, but Morant is something else. He reminds me of early Kobe or early MJ. A guy who can just get incredibly air and is unafraid to attack the areas around the basket, but is also physically underdeveloped, making you fear for his safety at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
