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!

Tom Dempsey's half-shoe and long-standing - but since broken - record for longest FG. 63 yards was unheard of back in the day.

The father or one of his five sons named George? Bad/distasteful joke aside RIP.

Are you pining for Flutie? Or Tyrod?

Pete LaCock. In and of itself the last name was legendary but he was also the son of Hollywood Squares game show host Peter Marshall.

Bartolo Colon had a great end of career run with the Mets. His HR against Jamie Shields was epic but not as epic as this play. If you look at the slo mo replay it looks like he's got a sh!t eating grin as he's attempting the ridiculous. Good times.

Just came here to post something about Bo. One of a kind talent and we all lost out when his career was cut short. Remember when he walked the wall after a catch in CF? Bo knows. Good times.

Lester Hayes and the stickum

One of my favorites is Thanksgiving football. Many years ago I had a pretty good exacta. Went to the Mets opening day game and then headed to Nassau Coliseum for an Islander/Ranger playoff game that night.

Didn't realize these guys have continued to put out albums.

Change the channel or kill me!

Thanks for clarifying, didn't know that. Thanks for the lol. Good times.

So Beane signed Ogunobi knowing Ogunjobi would be suspended? I'm still trying to process Beane signing Hoecht under those circumstances, from what I've read Ogunjobi knew but not Beane. If it was both players I have even more to process.

Both? I thought they knew about Hoecht but not Ogunjobi - but Ojunjobi knew before he signed.

Agent Foster Grant!

Are all you guys named Mosley?
