I'm dreading this because it gives Buzz Bissinger and the like the opportunity to cream all over Tony La Russa with Sun Tzu, General Patton,etc. comparisons.
Don't forget the La Russa DUI, another "obstacle" overcome
Santino was great in that segment
"These two other bachelors were telling me they don't like puppies and babies"
Maria: "But I LOVE puppies and babies!
With the way Tom Glavine has pitched against the Cubs as a Met I don't think ESPN is going to get to brag about airing his 300th win tomorrow.
If the Mets don't get to Marquis early on this one will be over pretty fast.
And replays showed that Theriot was just out at first. It was real close, so it wasn't really a blown call but he was out.
Joe Morgan is going on a monotonous rant about his whole whacky bat speed/strength/homeruns theory.
Truly compelling analysis.
Hopefully FJM is watching
I would love to see them re-sign Castro and give him a chance but with Paul Lo Duca being "fiery", a "clubhouse leader" and someone who will "push over a buffet table" there's no doubt the Mets will re-sign him for fear of upsetting the rest of the veteran players (and the fan base)
It's funny because, for whatever reason, its seems a lot of people stopped watching the WWF in late 1989. As I mentioned earlier I stopped watching during that time and whenever this topic comes up it's a common answer.
Turned off by the Zeus program?
Hogan was stale?
Warrior?
Who knows
Obviously Carlito went over so people believe he even has the slightest chance of beating Lashley at Summerslam. Same reason Lashley jobbed clean to Kennedy
Started watching in 1986. The earliest memory I have is Orndorff turning on Hogan and joining the Heenan Family. This is the angle that hooked me as a fan. I also remember watching a tape of WM 2 that my friend up the street let me borrow. I was pretty much a WWF guy and only stopped watching for a few brief periods (April 89 - March 90, March 91-Sept 91)
My market was kind of weird as they were always changing the time slots for Superstars and Challenge. Originally Superstars used to be on Saturday evenings and Challenge was on Sunday mornings. Then Superstars moved to Saturday Mornings and Challenge was on Saturday evenings. Then in about '92 both shows were moved to 2-3 AM in the morning death slots on Saturdays. Finally Superstars settled back in on Saturday mornings till it's end in Syndication and Challenge was dropped in our market in about late 93 (and never came back)
Without TBS, I only had access to Worldwide and that was the only NWA I ever watched (besides renting the PPV videos).
Watched a lot of AWA on ESPN and vividly remember the Rockers/Summers/Rose and Hennig/Bonkwinkel feuds.
Believe it or not ESPN used to air wrestling every day at 4:00 PM in the late 80s/early 90s. There was WCCW and then I believe later on Global.
My cable company finally started to provide TBS in 1996 and that's when I became a big WCW fan up until the Hogan/Piper feud started
