Didn't see anyone in the comments say this yet (if you have, I have not seen it):

I was using quotation marks to denote the difference between 17 years ago, as in 17 years from today vs. 17 years "ago," as in 17 years from the starting year of my example.

The correct answer is all of them tied, except Shawn Michaels.

Christ, this article. This. Article. The classic hallmarks of bad Gawker Media writing almost all on display. An anecdotal story mistaken not for a personal mundane incident but an illustration of a much larger (imaginary) phenomenon. Use of self-deprecation to at once absolve yourself of expert status while…

Most of the better games out there try to combine the two, to hook casuals while developing loyalty for the brand itself to create a sequel delivery device. This avoids the pitfalls of "well, I would start, but whenever I go there, everyone is already more powerful and more experienced than me" while not ignoring…

You gave them a Comaneci reference and no one tried to bust on you for being old enough to make it. Geez, Kotakuians, up your game, would ya? This guy is setting up a soft serve at the net and nobody here even tries to spike.

Top notch done. Dave Meltzer awards you four and a half stars out of five. Had you worked in an EJ complaining that the balls in Buffalo must over inflated joke in there and a chop in the corner followed by a forearm, he would have went full five.

meh. that would involve doing research. clicking on your name. looking at articles past. whatever. if you say you are a Vikes fan twice, I'll take your word for it. still, I am always suspicious of defenders of Bawstahn that begin their defense thereof with a variation of "Even though I am a fan of [not…

Air inside adds to the weight of the ball, in addition to the pressure. If there is less air inside the ball, then the ball will weigh less over all.

Why is it that defense only seems to pop up when a fan defends their favorite athlete and/or team? Sure you're a Vikes fan?

Yes, to a point. Soviet missile gear was built for the WWIII in of West Germany scenario. Open plains and urban areas over flatlands that could be destroyed because "collateral damage is a bourgeois concept, comrade" but as we saw in Ossetia and Chechnya, as soon as the terrain includes a mountain and a range of…

Yeah, and we have a word for people who are bringing Hell here: Putin.

Andy Reid was an assistant head coach with the Packers prior to the Eagles gig. the Sane Harbaugh was a special teams coordinator in the NFL for over a decade.

Much as I would like to say Raiders do not count (and really, they don't), Tom Cable fails to make the list because he was a college head coach at Idaho prior to the Raiders job.

How much is this anti-VTOL feeling driven by the USAF/Navy/Army vs. Marines pissing contest, or in this particular case the fixed wing vs. heli- vs. "mutant" rights (VTOL craft, not X-Men) debate? V-22 might not The Solution to the problem, but the future of 21st century warfare is irregular warfare and we (citizens…

Wow. I kinda believe that though, based on the NFL profile they did on him which showed him (Eddie) pre-Super Bowl days and he came off Snyderesque until he calmed down.

Hold on. This guy has zero coordinator experience in the NFL (United States, not Europe), has not worked as a coach in any capacity outside the 49ers, and has no college head coaching experience... and this was the logical move to replace Harbaugh per the Jed York regime? That's... odd.

Where's a badly-written poorly-argued commenter-defended Jezebel article to go along with this piece of news?

Brooklyn did not make KG into a pet goon, his Boston stint did. Clear enough for you?

So... when does the statue get put back?
