Tim's elephant bit that connor posted above is one of the greatest moments in comedy history. He lived to make everyone else in a skit lose it. He once made Harvey Korman laugh so hard that Harvey wet himself.

Owner said he had something of a defect with his teeth which created the "sourpuss" look.

Niki Lauda passed yesterday.

He was a 3x World champ with Ferrari and then McClaren, Would have been more if not for his horrific wreck in '76. If you haven't seen Ron Howard's "Rush", you should.

He was the guy who got me into F1 back in the early 80's. His battle with McClaren teammate Alain Prost during my senior yr of HS is still the greatest F1 season in my eyes.

When I cash out, I'm getting a McClaren 720S and have it wrapped just like Niki's '84 car.

RIP

Billy Bucks passed away at the age of 69. I remember growing up going to Dodgers games watching him play and then he went on to play for my favorite team in Boston.

I always loved Billy Buck. I didn’t appreciate him as much when he was w/ my favorite team...the Dodgers...b/c I was too young. I believe he was traded for Rick Monday to the Cubs. Buckner could flat out rake. Dude never struck out and he was very underrated. He was on his way to superstardom before breaking his ankle while playing for LA IIRC.

The BoSox were about to win the ‘86 WS so Manager Joe Morgan (EDIT: Manager John McNamara) wanted to put Buckner in as a tribute to the veteran as he had never won a WS. Dave Stapleton was the defensive replacement who normally would’ve been in the game but it seemed like a no-brainer. It was just an unfortunate error by a player who was a great fielder in his prime but had it been fielded cleanly, it wouldn’t have guaranteed the Red Sox would win as the score would’ve still been tied & extra innings would ensue. Even then, the BoSox had a chance in Game 7 and blew it.

RIP Billy Buck

Unfortunately Buckner will always be known for Game 6 of the World Series.

Sucks the way it went down too... the game was already blown at that point, and the treatment he got after was pretty bad.
I always felt the 'reconciliation' with sawx fans after they finally won one was kind of weak sauce... make the poor guy's life hell for 20 plus years... can't show his face anywhere in town and suddenly he is this welcome hero 'one of us'??? Makes me proud of how Browns fans, largely, have treated Ernest Byner (just over a year later) throughout the years. He's our guy, Dawgpound welcome... constantly at games and held in high regard. We will have his back Super Bowl or no Super Bowl to the day he dies. Buckner deserved the same imo.

Bucker wasn't know as a good fielder. He made his living with his bat. If anything, the ire should be directed at the Red Sox manager (McNamara?). He put Buckner in the field and IIRC, he hadn't played first base much.

He thought Buckner deserved to be on the field when they clinched, yes...

I loved his song 'On the Cover of the Rolling Stone'. Good stuff.

I think you're thinking of Dr. Hook, not Dr. John. I could be wrong though, maybe he also covered it?

"On the Cover of the Rolling Stone" was originally written by famed children's author Shel Silverstein, believe it or not. He wrote a bunch of hits for Dr. Hook including "Sylvia's Mother," very cool song. He's seen here playing harmonica:

Sylvia's Mother... man that takes me back. I was in middle school when that was a hit and got in trouble over the song. We had a teacher, Mrs. Cain, who seemed like she was 100 years old and grouchy as hell. She was in her 60's, had taught my dad years before, and was just burned out and tired of dealing with adolescent boys. One day I was playing drums on my desk with a couple of pencils and singing Sylvia's Mother (I was a dumb 13 yr old and Mrs. Cain was out of the room). She walked back in behind me and whacked the hell out of me 2 or 3 times with a yardstick.

I didn't hear Sylvia's Mother for the first time until about 2002. I was delivering pizza in college, listening to the radio. I don't know what it was, but I was just moved. I was already aware of Dr. Hook before that, but man, does that song tug on the heart strings. At the time I thought it was one of the saddest songs I'd ever heard. There's just something about the soulful pain in Dennis Locorriere's voice, combined with Ray Sawyer's harmony and the harmonica in the background. There's a lot of love/lost love songs, but there's something very unique about that one.
