Finland Note: Al Michaels call still can give you goosebumps. 😊 They trailed Finland 2-1 after 2 periods. Brooks walked into the locker room at the end of intermission and said “if you lose this game, you’ll take it to your f**king graves”. And then walked out. Cossacks already mentioned it. Brooks was such a motivator 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My folks got me a Sport subscription when I was in junior high; Steve Garvey was the executive publisher at the time (he apparently took a break from plowing chicks to do so) and remember my mom was beside herself when their 1995 swimsuit issue arrived in our mailbox 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCGIII Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 9 hours ago, JCGIII said: I believe that was Bill Lee aka Spaceman. Not during games apparently but Spaceman liked psychedelics. High Times: You now live in Oregon. It's known that, come the rain, psychedelic mushrooms sprout a lot there. Lee: Oh, yeah, just like trees. They're not that potent, though. You have to have the chemical process, really, to synthesize them out. I like them because they cause a periodical cleaning out of the system. Roto-Rooter type of thing. They do that for me. I also go on a fast at the drop of a hat to clean me out, off season. But mushrooms are kind of like a psychedelic enema. I think probably High Times readers do the same thing.

I don’t recall ever seeing Bendix in TV role Been a long time since I saw reruns and always seemed to be Gleason on WPIX reruns. Channel 11 NY. Gleason was thin on that show, similar to Babe Ruth a majority of his career (Sox/Yanks). Two icons thought of as rotund likely from the majority, but they were once slim! 😊 The Babe could motor and had a good amount of triples in his prime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I remember nothing from the stellar Mets and Knicks 73 teams, beyond a fight. 😞 Wilt, I don’t recall watching live. Bummer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
