Of course there more outlets around the globe but Americans were primarily getting their news from Brokaw, Rather, Jennings, and their local paper. Unless you were trading copies of the Turner Diaries with the local militia, you were unlikely to come across the kind of "news" our pals in PPP trade in.

Losing streak over with the 7-3 win today. Hopefully they can get on a roll now.

Keon drops 60 in Damar's celebrity basktball gam
Mr. WEO replied to stevewin's topic in The Stadium Wall
now they have 6-7. But at least we can agree that there are terrible pros. While all of the bolded is true, the claim that the talent is 1000x better than in the NBA's heydays 80s/90s, and by extension, the game is 1000x better is clearly wrong to anyone who watches the game. The main problem is that almost no one plays in college for 4 years anymore. Defense is non existent and very soft and the whole game is about 3 point shots. That's the entire league offensive philosophy. Teams are chucking upwards of 60+ 3's per game. It's hard to watch. I'm not knocking all NBA players, just the very bottom of the bench. You insist that they are better than nearly every player at their position that is not on an NBA roster. This could only be true if you assume that the scouting/drafting process is infallible--this is obviously absurd. Look at the NFL--every year guys wash out of the league after a season, despite all of the prep work in evaluating them. But if you scouts suck, then why would you believe that they can always spot the best players to the exclusion of all other players? They can't possibly scout all players. The Bills drafted EJ Manuel, essentially, after seeing him play in the Senior Bowl. He was terrible. You would conclude that, never the less, he had to be better than 99% of the QBs playing college football at that time---simply because he was drafted and made a roster. That's absurd. I'm using him as an example. If Moss had been coached and developed and as many resources were used to developed his game as was spent on Springer, I think it's reasonable that he could have been an NBA journeyman bench warmer who rarely played any meaningful minutes on 3 teams in 4 years. He's pretty good yes. But it's pretty rare for a top program to tell one of its recruits "maybe football would be for you"----after 6 games. Izzo would never do this if he had any use for Coleman at all. -
He definitely leans into that, especially his TV persona. Gronk is the same way.

Brady Anderson on the Orioles in 1996 never had hit 20 but suddenly popped out 50 lol. Palmiero must have coached him up -

It's possible, but not like Sosa, Bonds, McGwire, et. al. -
At least Lamar won’t be MVP with that many assists from pro bowlers

Was his spleen involved?

I was in 4th or 5th grade and had strep throat so I couldn’t go to the home preseason game against the Eagles. I remember listening about giant Harold Carmichael tearing us up in a meaningless game. I remember that more clearly than most of the games from that era I actually attended. I guess it was “different” so it stands out in my mind, and your brain must process it a bit differently. 🤷♂️ .

30 years ago there were far more than 5 news outlets. Media is global. Was then too. That's why we can almost always piece together truth. It's important to watch the BBC when trade deals with the UK are being discussed. Better yet, The Guardian or Economist. Or the CBC when the 51st state is being discussed...Or the Jerusalem Post or Al Jezeera when the middle east is raging... Yes, algorithms play a huge part in what news people consume. But they needn't. There is still truth.

He chose the sport he had a brighter future in, no doubt. Moss like Coleman, have more guys at their size and athleticism in basketball than they do in football. He was an all world receiver, arguably the best of all time if he had Jerry’s work ethic, but he wasn’t an all world basketball prospect. And he knew it. Would he have been if he focused on the sport like Mercer, Cotton, Garnett, and the many others at that all star game? It’s tough to say, all conjecture at this point. Players I would’ve told you should’ve made it, didn’t. The list of high school AND college All Americans who didn’t pan out with an NBA career is far longer than the ones who did. -
Might sound hokey, but for me, especially being a kid and teen, listening to the radio was quite captivating and it felt a bit magical trying to visualize the game in my mind. I didn’t feel cheated or denied some sort of privilege I should be entitled to and still don’t now. Probably because of growing up with it.

Well its also not his first time just this month. Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders' speeding citation for driving 101 mph this week wasn't the first time he was cited for speeding in Ohio this month. According to a Medina [Ohio] Municipal Court record that was filed June 6, Sanders was pulled over by the Ohio State Patrol earlier this month. In that alleged violation, which took place June 5 in Brunswick Hills, Ohio, The Ohio State Patrol told WKBN-TV that Sanders was stopped for driving 91 mph in a 65-mph zone. According to the record, Sanders failed to appear for an arraignment for that citation on Monday and faces $269 in fines and court costs. He was then stopped by an officer for the Strongsville (Ohio) Police Department at 12:24 a.m. Tuesday morning for driving 41 mph over the posted 60 mph speed limit in a black Dodge TRX truck. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45545248/browns-shedeur-sanders-cited-twice-month-speeding
