And Dock Ellis was on acid when he threw his no-hitter.

I think you're right. And if so, I think it was also the last time they sold beer at a game after halftime.

Flashback to '72, another summer in the neighborhood Hanging out with nothing to do Sometimes we'd go driving around in my sister's Pinto Cruisin' with the windows rolled down

I'm not a native and it's a bit off the grid from Buffalo but Letchworth State Park is outstanding.

That's classy as hell. Hope he doesn't get it against my Isles on Sunday and instead gets it front of his home crowd. Early 1990's I was working in the DC area and went to an Caps game. Had a verbal spat (that I provoked) with a Caps fan a few rows down which amounted to nothing. A month or two later went to another Caps game and recognized the dude walking the concourse. True fan. Hope he gets to see Ovi break the record live.

1. Len Dawson was a legendary player and had a great run on HBO's Inside the NFL. 2. Derrick Thomas was a great player and by all accounts a great guy... I made an honest attempt at this but stopped at #2 when I refreshed my memory of the circumstances surrounding his death. Yikes. I'll end with: 3. Enough folks on TBD have shared their great experiences with Chefs fans to remind me that fan bases aren't necessarily a reflection of the team they root for.

With three+ minutes left and the Caps up by one I told my son it was lining up for an empty net hat trick in front of the home crowd - which would have been epic. Sadly someone else on the Caps got the empty netter. He'll probably get it Sunday on the road in a meaningless game against my Islanders. Shame.

Cadillac appears to be the clear winner. Here are two more

Does it count if the car is a persons name in a song? Buick Studebaker

El Dorado

Does this one count my so-called droogs?

At a minimum there's a chip in the ball that should be able to determine whether the ball ever crossed the first down line. Unfortunately that doesn't help wrt whether a knee was down before the ball crossed the line. I'm skeptical that there will ever be a fool proof system, more skeptical that relying on the refs is a good idea and most skeptical that the NFL even cares. Controversial plays/games dates back to the Immaculate Reception (and probably before) and has never negatively affected the bottom line.

You oughta lobby for Camera Eye - lol. Seriously, congrats to you and your band. Good times!

So which Rush songs are in the rotation? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Limelight but probably not Didacts and Narpets or Xanadu.

Fred McGriff? Crime dog!

I've been running a March Madness knockout pool since 2019. What makes the pool fun are the upsets and covers (if your team covers the spread you steal the winning team). Granted this isn't scientific as it's a small sample set and doesn't consider that a 2.5 spread and a 10.5 spread aren't equal but the numbers are interesting

This one will always bother me. If intent mattered then every player who dropped the ball before crossing the goal line (first one I can remember is Desean Jackson) should've been awarded a TD. As I recall even the official on the field backed off from catching the ball when it was flipped to him from the Texan kick returner - knowing the play was still live. On a more positive note Josh catching a TD pass is a great memory from that game.

I heard today that this is the second time in the Mets history that they lost back to back opening games. The last time was 1999-2000 when they went to the NLCS in 99 and lost to the Cranks in the WS in 00. Hmmm.

When I hear the name Bode Miller I'm always reminded of his amazing recovery from what should have been an epic crash and burn. The slo-mo replay is mind-boggling:

I was listening to WFAN on my way home yesterday and they were guessing who would hit the first HR of the year for the Yanks and Mets. Can't remember who, but someone said Wells.

I'm hoping to duck out of work early to get home for the first pitch. I've got Mets opening day followed by my son's university trying to advance in March Madness tonight! LGM!
