Yep, if only he’d had players like Larry Bird who had good fathers, oh wait......Bird’s dad was a drunk who killed himself.

Points taken.

Maybe....but anyone who thinks that someone who is the NHL all time points leader by nearly 1000 points, and you could take away every goal he ever scored and would STILL lead the NHL in all time points just on his assists alone, is anything but the greatest hockey player ever, is just completely out of touch with…

My mistake. I thought Walsh was still coach in 1990.

That’s a fair point.

Check that.

Siefert won it with a different QB than the previous 4 SF SB teams had.

Uh yes there is.

They’re just shiny playthings to him that he can show off to others.

Agreed.

Yeah but the Avalanche have Stan Kroenke, who is good for an automatic 20-25 losses a season regardless of who is on the roster.

“Connor McDavid is, without a doubt, the greatest player in Edmonton Oilers’ history.”

There’s a huge difference between “Super Bowl Caliber” and “Super Bowl Winning” teams.

Yep. That fact also gets conveniently ignored when the whole “Oh so and so couldn’t hang today” argument is brought out.

Barry Switzer was also just fucking with everyone when he coached the Dallas Cowboys.

It’s hard to believe that a college sports coach, who is built by society into god like status as a paragon of virtue and leader of men, is actually a sanctimonious and shallow asshole who will basically do anything necessary to win games a bunch of 18-22 year olds play.

I have a feeling that, assuming he reads Simmons stuff at all, even Larry Bird rolls his eyes and says “Jesus Christ Bill, tone it the fuck down with the 80's Celtics shit and the stuff about me in particular.”

McHale had more variety in his moves and footwork than Kareem did.

That’s a stupid comparison.

Yeah the Shane Morris debacle was embarrassing as hell. I remember watching that game and the commentators were opening ripping the hell out of Hoke for putting him back in the game.
