Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
i was only ~10 when JR Richard had his stroke and still I remember him well - I likely only "saw" him pitch on TV a handful of times live in those pre-cable days :) but he was absolutely legendary, and maybe/likely more-so because most of what we had were just stories. That 1980 All-Star game start where I think he whiffed Reggie (Even as an "AL fan" I hated that MF way more than a 10yr old should hate someone haha) was awesome. He was one of my favourites and it was such a shock when suddenly ... it was just all over.
And I definitely recall the whispers of him being "lazy" .... .....
I'm no Astros fan but I own a JR Richard throwback jersey - wore it the other day out at the grocery store. I like to think at least one other person noticed. :)

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
My cousin's daughter (first cousin once removed?) just posted on Facebook something about being released from FB jail and joking that she will no doubt be removed shortly for "telling the truth." Not sure what got her suspended, but I'd wager it was anti-vax propaganda or making fun of the sheeple who wear masks. I particularly enjoy her bragging that she never wears a mask or got a vaccine, and she had COVID and survived, so she is smarter than everyone. After years of her bitching about how DiBlasio and Cuomo destroyed her City (she lives an hour outside NYC on the Eastern end of Long Island and has never lived anywhere else) and saying she is leaving, she is actually moving to Texas. Can't believe she is actually doing anything other than bitching.

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
You must be fortunate to have never been there before. Western LI is problematic in a much different way, but Eastern LI'ers are somehow hillbillies in a densely populated area. I like D's Future Florida comment, but it's almost like a blend of the worst aspects of hillbillies and Jersey Shore caricatures. I never understood the stories of how my grandparents shunned my Aunt for marrying a goyim (until she had her first child), but seeing how the bloodline was ruined two generations down the line, they were right. I need to find the right phrasing to make a joke to my mother about this, but that's a tightrope walk.

To tie in our LGBTQ acceptance discussion, my horrible cousin has a daughter who married a woman and they now have 2 kids together. From what I gather, all her horrible MAGA siblings perfectly accept her and her wife. The FB troll actually posts a lot of pro-LGBTQ activism type posts. I wonder if they would have been so open to homosexuality prior to knowing their sister/daughter was a lesbian? I'd bet it's the typical Conservative pattern where they are against people or some sort of equality or benefits until they are personally touched by it. [See our discussion on Meghan McCain suddenly realize women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave after she has a baby, because before, how could she have known women need time off and most people can't afford to lose their paycheck?]

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
Pancreatic cancer is vicious in regards to how fast people go from diagnosis to death.
A guy I used to work with got it, and like Esposito, he went from diagnosis to death in just five weeks. It must be quite a thing to be told at your initial diagnosis that you need to quickly get your affairs in order.

Interesting question. Mannings are certainly in the conversation, but off the top of my head I can't think of any other challengers.

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
I can't think of any others that would be in the conversation with the Manningses and Espositos. Maybe the Waners since they're both in the HOF, but we've never actually seen them. I guess the next tier would be the Sedins, Barbers, Matthewses (Bruce and Clay Jr.), Alomars, Martinezes (Pedro and Ramon), Gasols, Wilkinses.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 9:43 pmInteresting question.

Your mention here deserves more attention. Trevor Moore was in the right place and the right time to do edgy humor.

After a thorough investigation that included calls, emails and reports from concerned Swampers, the Swamp Admins have concluded that Giff was indeed yelling out the last name of the famous knuckleballers in hopes of contributing to an ongoing discussion, and there was never any racial slur that occurred.
The Swamp remains dedicated to providing an inclusive environment for all Swampers and any person using derogatory language will be mocked or ignored until they hopefully up and leave on their own.

Ha, god dammit. I was workshopping a follow up but all of them came out very much not as intended. Nice work.
(For example, I erased "you mean like the Morris twins?" because the tone I could use in person just wasn't coming through properly when typed out.)
