Vince Wilcock voted for him. Dunno about Gonk though.

The Lakers represent their five Minneapolis championships on one banner, but I find it strange that they've never retired George Mikan's number.

I'm up for this, as long as Cousin Sal is involved somehow, taking potshots at anybody and everybody.

We love ya, Cooz.

I believe they refer to it as the Vanderbilt of the North.

Parking spaces for the officers of the Constitution. I like to imagine Picard, Riker, and Data pulling into their spaces in the morning, Dunkin Donuts in hand.

+1 against mounted units

Didn't exactly work out the last couple of times the Patriots signed big time defensive free agents (Rosevelt Colvin and Adalius Thomas). Although in Colvin's defense, he had a really bad hip injury his first year with the team.

Taiwan's coach, Chiang Kai Belishek, was quoted as saying, "It is what it is."

You realize that Boston has won 34 championships in the four major sports. That places them second, after New York City's 55. Regardless, I don't really care about silly nicknames and I don't think most people do either. It's just fodder for bad sportswriters and marketing groups.

Also, the Boston Brewing Company (aka Sam Adams) is tied with Yuengling for largest American beer brewer. Gronk has not only turned his back on America by drinking Bud, but on New England and its patriotic namesakes.

This year's upcoming draft class is a little bereft of talent. At least at the franchise savior level.

Where is the irony? Do you mean coincidence?

The Cardassian Union seemed more like an intergalactic representation of a fascist state. Basically, it was an analog to an Axis power from WWII, with traits and 'histories' drawn from both Germany and Japan. The relationship between Cardassia and Bajor parallels the dominion (pardon the pun) Japan had over Korea…

Old man didn't even have the courtesy to toss the young man his napkin. Mild perspiration vs. leaking, bloody face.

RIP Drazen Petrovic.

Took in my first game at Angel Stadium this year. Nice enough place, I suppose. What appalled me was that the jumbotron and assorted electronic signage had to keep imploring the Angel fans to 'make some noise!' I've seen that plenty of times at basketball games, but at a baseball game?

I'd just like to point that if Russell hadn't broken his ankle in Game 3 of the 1958 Finals, then Red and the Celtics would've won TEN straight championships.

This reminds of when the Diamondbacks made the World Series in 2001 — their local paper had a beginner's guide to baseball on the cover of the sports section. Informational nuggets like 'what is the strike zone' and 'what is a double play'. In their defense, the D'backs had only been around for 3 years. Orlando's…
