I don't know about current players, but the best player I ever saw was Squints Palledorous who managed to make out with Wendy Peffercorn when he was still just a kid.

It’s from the most overrated sports movie ever made. I said what I said

Bobby Cox has passed

Legendary Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox dies at 84

In a house full of Cubs fans and being the youngest and closet Braves fan, I always looked forward to the Cubs losing on WGN and the family flipping to TBS to watch the Braves gave (which was the norm in the 90s). On the bench was Bobby Cox with his arms folded sitting next to the living bobble head Leo Mazzone who could never sit still always rocking back and forth.

Yeah, Avery was no slouch at all. He would've been top dog in the rotation of a lot of teams. People forget that Smoltz, Glavine, and Maddux were not bad in the field nor at the plate. Glavine was used a few times as a pinch runner or even a pinch hitter and all three had good batting averages for pitchers and actually hit homers. Not to mention that Maddux just owned the Golden Glove award for over a decade.

It was almost unfair when ATL signed Maddux but what a rotation! Glavine could’ve played pro hockey, Smoltz was traded from his hometown Tigers for Doyle Alexander as Detroit was making a playoff run down the stretch in 87. i hear complaints about Smoltz as an analyst but I love his insights. He and Maddux are both scratch golfers. They were all three elite in their own way.

I put Cox up there with the best managers of all time. RIP Bobby.

He holds the MLB record for the most ejections of a manager at 161. Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz would occasionally bait him into arguing with the ump, knowing he'd get himself tossed.

Ty Cobb. Not necessarily because of his baseball skills but I like having a guy around that you know has a pint of whiskey on him when you really need it.

Former Dallas and Denver QB Craig Morton passed away this past weekend at the age of 83. He had a long, solid 18 year career that lasted from the mid '60s until the early '80s and started two Super Bowls, though lost both. He did earn a SB ring as a backup to Staubach at Dallas.

Donald Gibb, who is best known for playing Ogre in Revenge Of The Nerds, passed away today at the age of 71. While probably most famous for appearing in all of the Nerd movies, he was also in HBO's 1st & 10, the Bloodsport franchise with Van Damme, and had appearances in several TV shows such as Night Court, Magnum PI, Cheers, MacGyver, and The X-Files.

RIP Ogre.

If you were in college in the late 80s/early 90s, you heard this song along w/ all the other line dance tunes that dominated dance floors at parties.

Pretty good QB. Unfortunately he was sandwiched by Don Meredith and Staubach.

Some of you older guys might remember her. Married to singer Andy Williams, then divorced. Most knew she murdered her boyfriend, but the police didn't handle it well, so she was convicted of reckless homicide. Served 30 days and two years of probation. That wouldn't fly today. It pretty much ended her acting career. SNL's bit was great.
