I used to live in Navarre, Florida, about 6 miles West of Hurlburt Field. The AC-130 firing rang was 4 miles directly North of my house. They would be right over my house on their firing passes. That was my go to sleep music back then. I remember looking up one day when they were practicing just before dark, and…

I honestly think that the Air Force believes the F-22 and F-35 are so advanced they can't be shot down and thus there will be no need for Sandy. Honestly, when it comes to short sighted hubris it's pretty hard to top the Air Force. I don't think any other branch has been so arrogantly wrong on so many occasions.…

Two favorite Bird trash-talk stories:

back when a PG got voted into the all-star game averaging 16 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds. Definitely the good ol' days!

How hard is Bill Simmons jerkin it to this right about now?

Craziest thing from this game (era, really): The two teams combined for two threes. One of the teams had Larry Bird!!

Clearly you didn't watch a lot of Nets or Mavericks games back then.

Still a better signing than Lance Stephenson.

There was a Larry Bird video I saw when I was a kid where Xavier McDaniel had my favorite Bird story. McDaniel was on the Sonics at the time and they were up one on Boston in Seattle. McDaniel said Bird comes up to timeout and walks up to him at the elbow.

"Fuck that thug Richard Sherman. All he does is talk trash. He has no class." - Boston sports fans

And Dominique shot 18.8% from the field because he was Dominique..his tombstone should read 27 points on 7-26 shooting

Stories like this are why it's so hard to hate him. He was an asshole for sure, but no one could possibly play any harder than he did, and despite talking some major league shit on the court, he'd acknowledge good play by his opponents. Guys like Jordan talked shit, and never (that I've heard of) commended guys he was…

"That's nothing. I could get 39 points in only 80 shots."

Richardson remained hopeful that things would work out for him, whereas the Colts stood by their initial request that he do the workouts himself.

Coach: Sorry, but you are going to need to lose some extra pounds if you want to be on the field for the AFC Championship.
