    We could use a Washington Wizard—I would be interested to see what a 6’8” Rui Hachimura could do on the D-Line, our guys sure didn’t play like they knew what they were doing.  Would be a fun Mr. Wizard episode!  😏 

    You’re not wrong. That show ruled when I was younger. I wonder how often my parents rolled their eyes when I wanted to attempt those experiments that looked so easy on TV haha

    One correction - the commissioning of the statue was announced at the same time they renamed the address to Seaver Way. But agreed on the Dodgers stuff, that never made sense to me. 

    Good call and thank you for correcting me. It’s still disingenuous no matter what.

     

    The Citibank naming rights deal for Citi Field is 20 million a year until 2029.  I think Steve Cohen can negotiate a settlement and reclaim our ballpark. 

    Honoring Tom Seaver is worth every damn penny.

    Yeah, hats off to whoever came up with the idea to honor #41 that way.

     

    Hopefully they'll have his statue ready for opening day next year (https://nypost.com/2020/09/03/mets-plan-to-unveil-tom-seaver-statue-for-2021-season/)

     

    And totally agreed on his dementia. I was probably more saddened by the announcement that he was stepping away from his public life due to dementia than I was by news of his passing.

     

     

    There should have been a statue waiting for him when Citi opened in 2010. Absolutely shameful that the Wilpons did nothing to honor his legacy except some BS renaming a street after him last summer Disgraceful that it took the announcement that he was ill for them to even get the statue idea up and running. Instead Citi Field is a tribute too the Brooklyn Dodgers whom Fred grew up loving and not the Mets. Little moves over the years have changed that but it still has little to no Met feel in that ballpark and their history.

     

     I hope Steve Cohen completely transforms Citi Field into a more Met feel and honors Seaver properly. I would absolutely love to see him rename the ballpark after Seaver but I'm not sure even a guy worth 14 billion would pass up 20 mil a year in naming rights. Regardless the Wilpons should be ashamed of themselves for the Seaver debacle based on what that man meant to this teams history.

    if anyone cares ..... (gas) 

     

    I used to live about a couple of miles from where they filmed "Dallas"

     

    Southfork Ranch

    I care and that’s cool! Still one of my favorite if not most favorite opening theme songs in TV show history.

    watched a re-run of this the other day on Netflix, and it didn’t age well for me. As a kid, I thought the show was riveting! Pretty Meh now (though agree the host was solid).

    Funny. I thought the EXACT same thing last weekend haha! Fun seeing all the old products and labels though. Love My Carpet carpet freshener!
