NFL could ruin college football if they wanted. They could schedule half their slate every Saturday.

When we lived in N'awlins, we visited the Naval Air Museum a dozen times or more. But I never once heard about this collection!

Dang, I'd have been outside Eglin's gates when they opened if I had! I may have to plan a road trip, if they'll let me in without a "Real ID" card. Probably not. My aging, northern European visage is a dead-ringer for the average 'Murica-hating terrorist.

I had not taken a vacation for years after my wife died, but the school told me to go somewhere, so I spent two days at a place I'd longed to see since I was a little kid -- the National Museum of the USAF near Dayton, OH. Didn't know if I could enjoy it without her, but it turned out to be one of those memories of a lifetime! And I met nothing but very nice people in the small town of Fairborn. I definitely recommend it -- even if you have to drive through Kentucky!

Think this would be worth driving through Alabama for?

Joe Morgan was the best. I don’t follow MLB any longer and when I did, it was solely the NL. Again, the convo was about Rose but you keep bringing up irrelevant facts. You are loud for sure. 👍

Stats would also say Rogers Hornsby might be the best 2B also. 7 batting titles, 2 triple crowns, 2 MVPs, leading the league in OPS 11 times (more than anyone not named Babe Ruth). So for you to say Joe Morgan was the best is statistically incorrect.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling, just obtuse, or just being obnoxious, but I clearly said Rose doesn’t belong in the HOF solely for betting on baseball.

No, no, no. You brought up the whole sleeping with a minor thing, for which he was never convicted of. You can’t backtrack on that now.

I made a similar promise when I was a teenager. I had to walk everywhere I went B4 I was old enough to drive a car. I promised myself in those days I would pick up those that were walking to places once I started driving. Yeah, that didn't last too long either. 🤣

Independent of Rose being a pedophile, let me be perfectly clear, he broke MLBs cardinal rule and should never be allowed in by betting on baseball alone. How many pitchers did he leave in way too long because he had a bet on the Reds. How many pitchers did he save when he didn’t have a bet. One rule was posted in EVErY MLB clubhouse, and the moron broke it.

Nobody will ever know all that but he did win 53% of his games as manager so that’s better than the majority of these fools that organizations think can lead their team. So it looks like he was actually trying to win ball games.

Draymond Green has now been fined $992K in his career and missed out on $3.2M worth of game checks due to suspensions. Good lord man, nothing is worth sacrificing over $4M of your hard earned money.
