I was on my junior high basketball team that had a year older than me Darrin Horn as the star. Although I only played in mop up time in like 3 or 4 games and didn't make the team the next year, so I didn't play against or with him much.

howard 10-4
Pruitt 8-6

I thought the correct answer wasn't an American so I ruled him out in favor of the wrong answer one of the contestants made even though his was the first name to pop in my head. I'm an idiot.

Bensell

Any slackers have about 20 minutes to get their answers in, then we will start.

In so far:

Herm
chedda
wlulax
Pruitt
Ryan
sancarlos
Kelly
duff
Carwash
travzilla
DC47
AB
rass
MrD

Sybian

I have some things to do in the morning and the reveal will start after lunch, whether these other fools are in or not.

Bensell

I love it when the top of the leaderboard is so bunched up; 10 players within 4 strokes of the lead (and 6 just 1 off) is fantastic. I get the feeling that Spieth will make some big shots and pull it out but I wouldn't be surprised by any winner, except maybe Dunne winning after the horrid start.

I've got some shit to do after the British Open is over, so if most of slackers answer then I will do the reveal about 6. If not I will do the reveal tomorrow after lunch no matter who is in and/or out...

Anyone watch The Knick ? A medical drama set in the year 1900 in New York City. On Cinemax on demand, ten episode first season. I don't like medical shows. Even the good ones, like ER, I just don't watch because I am unable to suspend disbelief, or suspend my need to evaluate the authenticity of th...

Monday is going to be awesome. You've got Spieth going for the Grand Slam, an amateur, Sergio going for his first major, Willett trying to win the first Open for a Brit since Faldo, etc. No doubt. The Majors, and the Players Championship, have been just great this year. As much as I would love a Gr...

Trump just shit all over John McCain's military service. “He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.” Howard, is your toaster plugged in?

In the four years Gary Redus was on the Reds I saw him hit at least 5 home runs (we went to 3 or 4 games at Riverfront every summer). He had a total of 31 as a Red so that has the be one of the highest percentage of production of any player I've watched live.

Bensell

Exactly, just like the prior two or three times he ran for president. He has more name recognition now, mostly because he has a tv show. So he can play out the game longer. More stoke, more attention than the last go-rounds. If I remember, he's only hinted in the past about running, never actually ...

I watched the restart of round two this morning and it was ridiculous they forced them to play. It was called off after like 30 minutes and that was 30 minutes too late. The several groups that were behind on 13 (I think) were the best off as they never had to hit a ball. That said, I love the condi...

I would have said Mount Rushmore but I remember the 1937 date from the Golden Gate documentary I saw. Before that I thought it was older than that.

He has his flaws, but I've become a bigger fan of Olbermann's in his recent tenure, mainly because of his willingness to charge at the windmills and point out emperors with no clothes. And, even though I'm less of a fan of Simmons than I once was, I appreciate his frankness, as well. But it seems l...

I keep the ticket stub ot every game I have gone to so it wouldn't be too hard to figure out the records of games I've been too. Sounds like a fun project while I watch the Open this weekend.
