  1. Mike Trout saved the Angels' bacon twice in extra innings tonight. In the 10th, Trout robbed Tulowitzki of a home run, in the 11th he threw out Gonzalez at home on a sac fly. Finally, the Angels are at .500: 17-17.
  2. I would have preferred Montreal vs. New York. Rangers - Habs just has a better ring to it...there's more history involved. Still feels weird Tampa Bay having a hockey team...I giggle a little.
  3. Roy. Brodeur. And now Lundqvist. Hall of Fame beckons.
  4. Rangers win! Caps lose! TK will say "Same old Choking Dogs!" Should be epic radio tomorrow.
  5. I should know that by now.
  6. Seemed like every time I flipped over to the Wiz game it was on commercial.
  7. Both goalies stepping up. Hang on to your fingernails. ebk, what will TK say if the Choking Dogs actually win?
  8. 1-1 with 5 minutes to go. Can't ask for a better finish.
  9. I'm going to miss Don Draper although he's clearly headed towards doom and poor Sally Draper is going to need years of therapy. "Mad Men" is the only drama other than "The Wire" and "Sopranos" that I've cared about in the last 15-20 years. http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/amcs-mad-men-marathon-to-air-for-days-prior-to-finale-1201493387/
  10. The problem with Ovechkin guaranteeing anything is that he's been shite this series. Ovechkin scores mostly off the power-play and he's been a big zero on the power-play.
  11. Nice Zeppelin shirt. Still have it?
  12. The other birthday boy today...Stevie Wonder! 65 years old.
  13. Happy birthday Gil Evans! http://youtu.be/yv5i7rAYztQ
  14. And the sun rises in the east and if you put your hand in the fire you'll burn yourself. In other words, none of this is surprising news.
  15. "The Mud Shark" Live at the Fillmore East June 1971
  16. That's nice but who the hell is David George and what does he have to do with Depeche Mode?
  17. I don't have to follow the herd, Rick. Let everyone drone on about it if they want. I do think Brady's suspension will be reduced. Deflategate is not on a par with Bountygate or taking PEDs. It is more in line with what the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers were caught doing, and what Brad Johnson and Aaron Rogers have admitted doing to their balls. And they either got a slap on the wrist or no penalty at all. http://espn.go.com/blog/minnesota-vikings/post/_/id/11218/nfl-aware-of-game-ball-incident-during-panthers-vikings http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/could_tom_bradys_suspension_be_overturned_completely/18784427?linksrc=story_sitewide_yardbarker_footer_head_18784427 But don't worry Rick...I think your Buffalo Bills are safe. It will probably be reduced to a two-game suspension, which means Brady will still miss playing your Bills in week 2. Meanwhile, here are the latest Super Bowl Odds adjusted after the NFL handed down their punishment on New England: ODDS TO WIN SUPER BOWL 50 AT BOVADA AS OF MAY 12 Seattle Seahawks 11/2 Green Bay Packers 7/1 Indianapolis Colts 8/1 Dallas Cowboys 10/1 New England Patriots 10/1 Denver Broncos 11/1 Philadelphia Eagles 18/1 Arizona Cardinals 25/1 Baltimore Ravens 25/1 Pittsburgh Steelers 25/1 New York Giants 28/1 Buffalo Bills 33/1 Cincinnati Bengals 33/1 Detroit Lions 33/1 Kansas City Chiefs 33/1 Miami Dolphins 33/1 New York Jets 33/1 San Francisco 49ers 33/1 St. Louis Rams 33/1 Atlanta Falcons 40/1 Carolina Panthers 40/1 New Orleans Saints 40/1 Chicago Bears 50/1 Houston Texans 50/1 Minnesota Vikings 50/1 San Diego Chargers 50/1 Oakland Raiders 66/1 Cleveland Browns 75/1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 100/1 Washington Redskins 100/1 Jacksonville Jaguars 200/1 Tennessee Titans 200/1
  18. The NFL uses two different sets of balls, Bong-Man. One set of balls are used for kickoffs and field goals and the other set are used for regular game play. Kickers and punters have no input.
  19. Chicago should be embarrassed they are losing to this Cleveland team which resembles a MASH unit. Yeah, they are missing Pau Gasol and I knew that would deflate the Bulls chances, but still, it is painful to watch the Bulls play. Their offense is not even up to Cro-Magnon level. Coach Thibodeau is gone if the Bulls lose this series...he is one of those autocrats that have to call a million plays that have ruined basketball. Riddle me this, Batman...you are playing a team in Cleveland that is depleted through injuries and suspensions. Common sense tells you that to take advantage of Cleveland's lack of depth, you push the ball and pressure them at every opportunity, tire out their legs. So what does Coach Twinkletoe have Chicago do? Walk the ball ponderously up the court as he barks out another stupid play. Thus allowing Cleveland to set their defense and not tax their energy. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Clippers better win Game 6.
  20. ^^^That was super groovy, Glyn. Thanks. So somewhere in a vault in Nashville there might reside the Pontiac tapes?
  21. Nope. As you can see in the colour photo, Bonham is playing the drums so it's obviously during a song, while the b & w photo is during Jimmy's solo segment. The more important detail to note in the b & w photo is the camera says "Opryland Productions". If someone can track down whether the company still exists or a former employee, then maybe we can find out some answers.
