Personal attacks. This thread is close to the banning precipice again.

I just read this story this morning, that NBC is shaking up the lineup on "Sunday Night Football". They're dropping Coach Tony Dungy from the broadcast lineup. https://nypost.com/2026/02/25/sports/tony-dungy-likely-out-at-nbc-as-network-looks-to-retool/ It looks like contracts are expiring...

I have made this point before-we have regressed in terms of maturity over the past 70 years, and that is a symptom of the childishness that obtains in our society.

The Phillies used to, back when Dallas Green was still alive and was the director of player development. Between him and Ed Wade, they developed the talent that made up the rosters in the 2000s. We got to see most of those players when they were at Double-A Reading. Prost! Brad

And I just thought of a comedic turn Bobby D did, on SNL back in 1998. Garth Brooks was the guest host and they appeared in a sketch of a game show called, "Who's More Grizzled?". Norm MacDonald played the host.

I had forgotten that he was in George Lucas' "THX1138", too. That had grown out of a film school project Lucas did in grad school. Prost! Brad

@Warrior George, I'm reminded again of the time you looked at the floor plan from our show from around 1993 and noted all the vendors who were there back then, and who have since passed on. Prost! Brad

He was in "The Blue Max", too. Prost! Brad

I disable it. though sometimes I forget. It took a while to think of that stupid feature after numerous times at a traffic light where the light goes green and the car in front of me doesn't move. Now, along with thinking the driver isn't paying attention, I have to think that perhaps he has...

That looks similar to a material that one of the guys in our Delaware Scale Modelers uses on his ocean bases. It's textured a little like fine waves, like ocean waves viewed from about 1000 feet in the air, and he uses it with his 1/700 scale ships. I believe it has an adhesive backing. Now...

I agree about a connection between increases in communicable diseases and increased illegal immigration. I have heard no one mention this in any mainstream media stories on increases in measles, or other diseases, for that matter. And back during the previous administration, there was no word...

Johnnybach, too, and his refurbished toy soldiers. Great work!

Like "Louie, Louie". Or most James Brown songs. 😁

I reached out to Norman Joplin, who started this thread back in 08. He confirmed that publication stopped when Ray passed away. The magazine is not officially dead, but apparently there are issues with the business and Ray's estate, that still aren't resolved. He doesn't know if there are...

With Super Bowl Ell-Ecks in our rear view mirror, I thought I'd start a new thread for the next season. The old thread actually wound up covering 24-25 and 25-26. We've already got trades, trade rumors, discussions about who was elected to the Hall of Fame, and who wasn't-plenty of hot-stove...
