  1. Just watched ESPN's E60: Southpaw - The Life & Legacy of Jim Abbott One of the great sports stories of my lifetime. Saw him pitch once and it was mind boggling.
  2. TY. John Elway was a perennial loser in too many peoples eyes until he was a HOFer due to SB wins. He was a better player before the SBs imo. Elway got his days in the sun, I expect Josh will too (as a Bill), but no guarantees. I've been enjoying the ride since we drafted Josh and my boys asked me if we got the right QB. My answer was simple: I have no effin idea but we got one of the top 4 and that's who we're riding with. Good times.
  3. Back to the 80's, this time with a 'hair band'. Not gonna lie, bands like Motley Crue that started out edgy got me into the hair bands. Went to L.A. for a wedding when the hair bands were in full swing and I recorded a few hours of local radio cuz we weren't getting that on the east coast. This song was a product of that and I still like it. My attitude about hair bands was/is that I wished everyone considered this pop. Good times.
  4. I have never set foot inside a Costco.
  5. This stretch has been brutal, impossible to sugar coat it. But I still expect them to make the playoffs. And I'll hold out hope that when they do they'll be on a heater. But realistically I just don't think their starting pitching is playoff calibre. I could change my mind if Senga and Manaea regain form and figure out how to get to the 7th inning and if Peterson continues to impress and if they get some help from one of the minor league starters.
  6. Growing up I think I heard this as one ton of mellow. I also think I grew up with a different version. Either way, good times!
  7. Pretty sure the Vinny Testaverde 'TD' against the Seahawks (see below starting around 2:50) along with the Bills/Pats debacle in 1998 were main factors in introducing instant replay reviews. Replay reviews are a necessary evil imo, I just wish (and it won't ever happen) that we could avoid the Zapruder-like reviews that take way too long and leave nobody convinced that they got the call right anyway. Cheering or agonizing over a plays outcome well after it happened diminishes the product for me - and that's for all sports.
  8. What Devin Williams is going through this year reminds me of what Edwin Diaz went through with the Mets. Diaz looked like a lost cause but managed to rebound. Based on his history - which is much better than Edwin's pre-Mets history - I'm guessing Williams will bounce back too, but it seems unlikely to happen this year.
  9. Does your email client have a password recovery option where you just need to answer some security questions to reset your password?
  10. The ska/pop/rock/punk of the 90's produced some great music
  11. That was my plan as well -buy another Ego and I have a backup battery for both. But the weight/size of the lawn mower battery makes me question whether it plugs into Ego's weed whacker. TBH, I got the electric mower in large part anticipating the upcoming ban on gas blowers/whackers.
  12. At the risk of hijacking a Yankees thread, I'd appreciate your thoughts as an Orioles fan on Mullins. My son went to college in the area and said his friends were disappointed to see him traded. Seemed like a marginal upgrade to me.
  13. The one thing I didn't make sure of is whether the battery for the Ego works with their other products. Lawn mower battery is pretty beefy, maybe heavier than I'd want for a weed whacker or leaf blower, but that's a next year problem - when my local town will likely ban gas powered whackers/blowers.
