Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread

Summer of 1995 I played an elite lacrosse tournament in Vail (my team was sponsored by Adidas). We were a mix of players the Northwest, Georgetown, Ohio Wesleyan, and a few other places. Anyway one of the defenders on our team was a rising high school senior kid from Philly. He just got elected to ...

Re: Super Bowl LVII

35 points should have been enough as I noted last night. Great teams capitalize on mistakes. That fumble return and punt return were tough breaks. Not getting a stop in the 2nd half was backbreaking. The argument upthread about you call the penalty the same regardless of time in the game - example u...

First time I'm seeing the Hawaiians... These guys don't mess around at the plate. Very impressive.
