Okay, Red Sox vs. Cubs. Bottom of the 8th with two men out and Boston up by three runs. Barrett is up, is intentionally walked by Schilling to bring up Mark Prior. Prior hits a grand slam to bring the Cubs up by one run, from there it was just a formality.

thats where you sniffle I don't get it. I gathered a vague cocaine reference. Split my legs and eat out my vague Your vague? Is that like some sort of hypothetical genitals? It's still just a loose concept?

Is this a question? Charcoal for sure. I do all my grilling with charcoal, the way it's meant to be. Though if Texas is charcoal country, why would prototypical Texan Hank Hill sell propane, and propane accessories?

That's not his grave, that the staircase to his basement, and down there oh boy does he PARRRRRRRRRRRR-TAY.

LaFontaine EDIT: Wait. This is the "greatest" thread, not the "representative" thread. I get the two confused. Between these two and "Funyn Things Athletes Say" and "Funny Things Athletes Do," I feel inclined to start Best and Worst Uniform threads for everybody to interweave. Because you know San Diego Chargers or Quebec Nordiques will end up on both.

Only by not hitting the ball. Jason So how 'bout those Blue Jays?

Goodwin's on third with Corey and Sosa up. Cubs CAN'T blow this game now...

Bottom of the 9th with nobody out, Cubs trail by 1 with Hollandworth on first

CR, you're a hockey guy ... how can you name Probie over Gordie Fucking Howe as someone you think of when you think of the Wings? I'd even put Howe above Yzerman, although, it might be that I'm blinded by the fact that Stevie Y is still active (for now). As I just watched the Gordie Howe Sportscentury a few weeks ago, I'm not sure how I forgot Mr. Hockey. Must've just been focusing on the Yzerman years.

::The hand emerges:: Cole: Whose damned hand could it be? I want to know dammit! Someone tell me what the damn hell is going on! Is it that damn Undertaker? ::Stevie Ray arises:: SR: Damn, sucka! Where that yak dat told me my talent was in that box? Why'd I listen to dat fruit booty? I'ma find that fruit booty, and I'm gonna get in the ring, and get in his BUTT. It ain't gonna take long.

They had to drop that. It was Goldust. Goldust left. Obviously. It still looked stupid when they just dropped it, though. You'd think they would've at least tried to place someone else in the angle instead of just forgetting about it. And who the hell is behind G-TV?????? That too was Goldust, as the first week or two it was GDTV. So with GTV, Booker Stalker, and Se7en, Goldust is the king of aborted gimmicks.

Walter Payton, Michael Jordan, Sammy Sosa, Bobby Hull sounds safe.

I think the only team that DESPERATELY needs a new park is the Twins. Like I said, Oakland Coliseum isn't pretty but it gets the job done. Wrigley and Fenway are old but damned if they're ever going anywhere. Olympic Stadium is not long for major-league play so why bother. I could make a case for the Skydome being crappy, but geez, the thing's only like 15 years old or something. So really that just leaves the Metrodome as the only venue which hasn't been dealt with. Just go with the required retractable roof with natural grass...no more carpet with a partial infield below a white Teflon roof. That's not baseball.

The Big Four will all disperse and Showtime will be led by Luke Walton and Megadefjam or whatever his name is.

TONY AMONTE??? The Chicago Black Hawks/Blackhawks had Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Keith Magnuson, Stu "I put my picture above my locker so when I forget my name I can still dress myself" Grimson, Glenn Hall, Denis Savard, Chris Chelios, Ed Belfour, Jeremy Roenick, and the guy that you feel is representative of the organization is Tony Amonte? By the way, for the Wings...Steve Yzerman of course, but what about Bob Probert?

So much repetition, but as they say, practice makes perfect.

I need copies of the ESPN NBA themes because they're both cool

Yeah, doesn't Oakland, as a city, have more concerns than the Coliseum? Geez. It's not pretty, it's not interesting, but it's sufficient for what it is. It's...Oakland. A facelift couldn't hurt, but no need to give the A's a "retro ballpark with interesting outfield angles inspired by Ebbets Field, and food service beyond standard stadum-fare, you can even get a chicken salad."

Was Ernie Banks a close second? And would Harry Carey be third? Harry Caray is remembered for being a total goof towards the end of his run, but the real voice of the Chicago Cubs was Jack Brickhouse. Most famous Chicago Cubs: Jack Brickhouse (WGN announcer) Billy Williams Ernie Banks Ron Santo Lee Elia (hahaha) Ryne Sandberg Sammy Sosa Bears: Butkus, Sayers, Piccolo, Payton, The Fridge, Singletary, Ditka, McMahon, to name a FEW Bulls: Jordan, Pippen Hawks: Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita

Way to channel Madusa, in not only the attire, but also the wrinkly face.

"I just want to disappear into Bolivian." "This game sucks now. Who'd want to pay to watch this crap?" -Brett Hull on the NHL

I think I meant Mighty Ducks. Best team in the NHL aganst underdog, north vs. south, etc. Minnesota would've been good for the game though, I guess? It was an error. But seriously, if we get San Jose and Tampa Bay battling for the Stanley Cup, just go ahead and fill the Cup with urine. Warm Canadian urine.

So you're putting Tim Duncan over John Stockton, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler? Duncan's good, I don't doubt that. But the level of competition in the NBA has been gone since the '98 lockout, I mean the bottom just dropped out. In the 90s there were so many good players and so many loaded teams, it's just that the Bulls dominated so much that a lot of guys, like Stockton & Malone, couldn't get the spotlight to themselves in all their years. So while this era of the San Antonio Spurs has been very good, if they were to go back in time, I don't think they could beat Stockton's Jazz, Magic's Lakers, and certainly not Jordan's Bulls.

Obviously, Calgary vs. Philadelphia would be ideal. Just like Cubs and Red Sox, Senators-Wild, Eagles-Colts, and every other cool matchup that we've seen slip by.

They're fucking home. So we can face the Padres of all teams. Impeach Selig. How has Selig been bad for a Yankee fan? Is this computer generated like the ads behind home plate? I hate the chromakey ad space they have to put up at Wrigley Field for Fox games and only Fox games. At least WGN Sports doesn't whore themselves out that much, putting ad space on their own park.
