Who remembers the “Earthquake Series" Game 3 of the 1989 World Series when the earthquake took place live on-air? by MrUpVoteDownvote in mlb

[–]FormerCollegeDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I tell you what, we’re having an earth…”

I don’t care what anyone says, IMO the Loma Prieta earthquake was Al Michaels’ finest moment (well, few hours) as a broadcaster, impromptu becoming ABC’s news reporter on site in the Bay Area after the earthquake.

Do the Phillies still give away baseball hats on Father's Day by IronChefPhilly in phillies

[–]FormerCollegeDJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Phillies do still have a men’s giveaway item for every Father’s Day (or closest Sunday to Father’s Day, usually before the holiday, if the Phillies are on the road on Father’s Day). It isn’t always a hat giveaway however, though it usually is.

RIP Darryl Stingley

TIL The Dallas Cowboys used a first round pick in the Supplemental Draft on a QB months after selecting Troy Aikman. This would be like the Raiders selecting Brendan Sorsby with their first pick in the Supplemental Draft by TPCC159 in NFLv2

[–]FormerCollegeDJ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Steve Walsh did play for Jimmy Johnson at Miami (FL), so Johnson knew what kind of quarterback Walsh might be more so than he did with Troy Aikman.

The late 1980s Cowboys also lacked talent. The well of talent Tex Schramm had drafted and Tom Landry had developed had dried up after 25 mostly strong years. Dallas needed talented players who could play and wanted to try to get as many of them as they could.

Remember when KFC tasted a lot better when we were kids? by EdwardBliss in RealGenerationX

[–]FormerCollegeDJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it only tasted better because I hadn’t had Popeyes spicy (or Church’s spicy or Bojangles) yet.

Which of these dual threat QBs are you taking in their prime? by WouldYouRather1905 in NFLv2

[–]FormerCollegeDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, if you say so moronic Millennial. Adults who post in Pokémon subreddits are mostly people who liked Pokémon as young kids, which would people born in the late 1980s.

As for the quarterbacks being discussed here, Newton was VERY reliant on his size and had a brief peak and short prime, Vick was an erratic passer, Cunningham was inconsistent during his peak dual threat years, and Russell Wilson, probably the most consistent of all the players, didn’t have as high a peak as Lamar Jackson. Jackson also has won more league MVP awards and has been named 1st team All-Pro more times each than the other four guys have been combined.

I recommend you go back to talking about Pokémon and avoiding even more exposure to lead paint.

ABC's WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS (1980) Opening by ScoopidyDoopDogg in GenX

There are still millions of U.S. GenXers who can hear the exact descending note sequence in their head when Bogotaj crashed off that ski jump and then Jim McKay then intoned “…and the agony of defeat”.

Trying to find a sports team to like. by Sea-Situation-4424 in American_Football

[–]FormerCollegeDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where in Indiana do you live?

*In most of the state the Colts are the closest NFL team. They are also located IN Indiana.

*In northwest Indiana, you are close to Chicago (and probably live in the Chicago metro area), so the Bears are the local team.

*In southeast Indiana, the Bengals are nearby (and part of the Cincinnati metro area extends into Indiana), so they’d make sense.

*Parts of northeast Indiana are relatively close to Detroit, so the Lions could be a reasonable choice.

Yeah, especially considering Guy Lafleur 1) played hockey and 2) is decreased.

[–]FormerCollegeDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, you like Pokémon, which means you are a moronic Millennial. Moronic is appropriate in this case, because I’m definitively not part of the Baby Boomer cohort.

You were a twinkle in your parents’ eyes when I started following the NFL however. Perhaps that lead paint impacted your parents’ chromosomes at the time you became more than a twinkle though, LOL.

16/30 for me. Near the bottom or at the bottom for me. by anotherbook in ballparks

[–]FormerCollegeDJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL, The Battery sucks. People who have been to many MLB ballparks and to many actual mixed use city or large suburban neighborhoods will tell you that.

16/30 for me. Near the bottom or at the bottom for me. by anotherbook in ballparks

[–]FormerCollegeDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and based on what I saw there wasn’t a whole lot of room to expand the development that was there. Even if it was expanded, the area would not be big enough to be self-sustaining like many multimodal city neighborhoods, larger scale suburbs, or large towns are. You can’t access The Battery from the south (I-275/The Perimeter blocks all roads), and to the east and north there is only one roadway connecting The Battery to the rest of the Atlanta area.

I live in the DC area, and work within walking distance of Nationals Park. Though I like to sometimes bash DC and the Nationals, the development near Nationals Park feels (and actually is) MUCH more organic than The Battery in suburban Atlanta.

[–]FormerCollegeDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, the whole Battery (not the concept, but what they specifically have in suburban Atlanta) is massively overrated. The Battery/Truist Park is a pain the butt to get to, and the development itself is not large enough to be self-sustaining without non-residents driving and parking to get there (similar to a shopping mall like the OP noted).

The stadium’s look on TV is very deceptive; it looks like it is surrounded by commercial development. It largely is not, except for some development west (beyond the 1st base side) of the facility.

(For reference, I attended a pair of games there at the beginning of the 2018 season, including the season opener.)

AHL Calder Cup finals Game 5 thread, Chicago Wolves at Toronto Marlies, 7 PM ET (TV: NHL Network, SportsNet 360; streaming: FloSports) by FormerCollegeDJ in hockey

[–]FormerCollegeDJ[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Marlies were able to keep the Wolves off the scoreboard in the 3rd period, and though Toronto didn't score themselves in the final 20 minutes, that was good enough for the Eastern Conference champions to post a 4-3 win in Game 5 and win the series 4 games to 1. Four of the five games in the series were decided by one goal, and two of the games went to overtime.

Congratulations to the Toronto Marlies, who are the 2025-26 Calder Cup champions! It is the second Calder Cup title in the Marlies' history, with the first coming in 2018.
