  1. The greatest Met of all time. And whoever is second isn't even close. I had the good fortune of seeing him a couple of times at Shea and countless times on WOR with Ralph, Lindsey and Murph. The report I heard is he is retiring from public life. From a strictly selfish standpoint I'd love to give him one last standing O.
  2. Just saw this before checking in here a few minutes ago: https://nypost.com/2019/03/05/kyler-murray-backlash-arrives-worst-reports-execs-ever-heard/
  3. Nationals ace Scherzer shuns DH, decides to bat "He's real big into the whole game, not just the pitching portion," Martinez said. "He loves to hit, he loves to run the bases, he loves to play the game." http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/26145158/nationals-ace-scherzer-shuns-dh-decides-bat Play ball!
  4. Yeah, I think you're right. Comedy Central was ready to pay him but it didn't work out.
  5. LOL. I was joking about you not acknowledging the ladies on the board. It's amazing how a well intentioned thread can take a bad turn.
  6. I assume most posters on this board are a he. Perhaps that's a bad assumption on my part. Did you notice that I questioned my own assumption "(he is a he, right?)". Perhaps you missed that.
  7. Forget all that, if I'm you I am seriously questioning why Buffalo716 didn't thank the gals too! He (he is a he, right?) should have to answer to that.
  8. Making the playoffs was enjoyable. Subsequently moving on from the playoff QB with the realization that the position needed a big improvement in spite of the playoff appearance was enjoyable. As a result, this past season was a necessary evil. That evil was made worse by the Peterman debacle. What that debacle says about the coach and GM is a legit concern IMO. But I'll reserve judgement until next year. Once they drafted Allen, it was never about Peterman. As a side note, in another post you reference Hue Jackson's 8-8 Raiders with the immortal Darren McFadden, Darius Heyward-Bey, Jacoby Ford and Fabian Washington as a fun team to watch. Is that your standard for enjoyable? Would you be happy if we canned McDermott and hired Hue?
  9. That's gold Johnny, GOLD!! I'm an out of towner too. My kids gravitated to the Bills because of me, if they'd gone another direction I would have let it happen. We just had John Tavares make his return to Long Island the other night and there was a lot of vitriol thrown his way. Some of it was humorous but overall it was a classless display by the local fans. The guy played 9 years for us, was a great player and an upstanding citizen who had the opportunity to play the second half of his career for the team he grew up with. Sucks that he left, but he's the type of player any sports fan should appreciate. That was the message to my boys.
  10. Short answer is because I never set foot in Buffalo until about 28 years after I decided the Bills were my FIRST team.
  11. If I got this right Harper gets the same deal as Machado, 10 years, $300 million. The extra 3 years at $10 million per is Scott Boras doing Scott Boras. I'm not with you on the Chris Davis comparison - but I hope I'm wrong. I think Harper will put up huge numbers at that ballpark. The guy had a broken bat HR at Citi Field last year. Question is how long he can sustain it.
  12. It pains me to share this, but if the reports are true that Bryce Harper is signing a 13 year deal, when the Harper deal is up the Mets will still be on the hook for the annual Bobby Bonilla payout for four more years. https://nypost.com/2019/02/28/bryce-harpers-contract-wont-outlast-mets-bobby-bonilla-payments/
  13. Murray was a deep tortured soul. I heard he gave up the newsroom for a life at sea.
  14. The Brady Bunch. The TV show, not those d-bags up in Foxboro. Marcia was the bomb. Appearances by Joe Namath, Deacon Jones and Don Drysdale. And Don freaking Ho! Five year run that didn't overstay it's welcome and set the standard for every other show mentioned so far. Pretenders.
  15. You are living my dream. I get the CliffsNotes version of life out West, you get the whole book. My youngest was in 4th grade when we went to Zion so we were able to hike the Narrows, but Angel's Landing wasn't an option for us.
  16. First time I ever saw Alonso swing a bat was today when he flicked his wrists and sent one over the right fielders head. Before he hit that pitch I liked his stance and swing. So based on one at bat and his minor league stats I'm optimistic. WRT the GM part I: He needs to get DeGrom signed. Do it now before there's another year of tread off the tire. A 4 or 5 year deal now is much better than the same next year. WRT the GM part II: He has all the attributes needed to be a great game show host.
  17. Good point. Southern Utah has some of the countries greatest National Parks. Me and the fam did Bryce and Zion a few years ago. Could have spent more time than we did at each. There are still a bunch of other well known parks in Utah and neighboring states that are still on the to-do list. Great part of the country ColdFront, make the most of it!
  18. If you're looking to get back into skiing and haven't been to Alta/Snowbird make every effort to get there for a powder day. Greatest snow on earth!
