@MAD your Pistons are in the playoffs after having the worst record in the NBA last year. It’s the single biggest turnaround in NBA history as no team has ever gone from a worse record to having a playoff berth the following season. Congrats

Question of the day.

What do these 3 players have in common?

Ken Griffey Jr.
Jamie Moyer
Omar Vizquel

Former Mariners.

Former Mariners.

Maybe, but that’s not the answer I’m looking for.

There is something that applies to these 3 and nobody else.

They all sit back drink beer & smoke dope?

I told him the other day he can find that info on utsports.com website.
Guess its too hard for some to type it in a search engine?

I stream every game through the ESPN app anyways so it’s all in one place for me.

They were former Mariners but also played in 4 different decades.

I have the utsports.com link on my google page. I click that & BOOM.

Ken Griffey Jr and Omar Vizquel actually made their MLB debut on the same day with the Mariners. April 3, 1989.

I see you're going down Mad's rabbit hole. He's dying for attention.

I see now why these teams are giving their all in this Crown Basketball Tournament.

Winning team gets $300,000 towards NIL
Runner up gets $100,000 towards NIL
3rd and 4th place gets $50,000 towards NIL..

Jamie Moyer is attempting a comeback as we speak.

Pretty soon all postseasons will have NIL attached to them.

You notice the most obscure things.


You were the very first person to point out the Jennessee, now everyone brings it up.

I will boycott those jerseys until the end of my days.

Thank God that's over.

 

[VolPack22]

I hope I don’t get a TO for liking this...guilty by association and all...

If Brandon Miller didn’t get into trouble for bringing a murderer his weapon while playing basketball at Alabama then I think we’re good on the whole guilty by association deal.

I miss the old Angelina Jolie that wore a necklace with a vial of blood in it.

Did a little birdy tell you that?

 

[VolPack22]

Only if you like publicity stunts.

No it’s just common sense and reading the way college sports are headed. If professional athletes get postseason bonuses then college athletes are going to want that too.

Good to know someone is keeping up w/all that nonsense.
Life is too short for me to care about such things..

Ol Bill Bob Thornton probably had a hand in that
