Memorable Moments in Sports History

 

[JB Lions]

I just want to point out, whenever we start playing football again, Falcons will win the Superbowl. Haven't been paying attention with all the stuff going on but we picked up RB Todd Gurley, then on D another former first round pick Dante Fowler. On offense:

With the addition of Todd Gurley, the Falcons' projected starting offense now features 10 players who were once first-round draft picks.

Wide receiver: Julio Jones
Wide receiver: Calvin Ridley
Tight end: Hayden Hurst
Center: Alex Mack
Left tackle: Jake Matthews
Left guard: James Carpenter
Right guard: Chris Lindstrom
Right tackle: Kaleb McGary
Quarterback: Matt Ryan
Running back: Todd Gurley

10 on offense alone.

Canada pulls out of 2020 Olympics over COVID-19 concerns as Australia eyes postponement

"The Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Paralympic Committee announced on Monday that Canadian athletes will not be sent to the Olympic and Paralympic Games if they go on as scheduled in July. “This is not solely about athlete health – it is about public health,” a Team Canada statement said. Shortly after, the Australian Olympic Committee said it had told athletes to prepare for the Games to be held in 2021."

Was wondering what would happen with that. I don't think there is official word yet but maybe they delay it to 2021.

Tonight was ep. 3/4

Dennis Rodman taking a break in the middle of the season, going to Vegas, gf was prime Carmen Electra.

"Eps 3-4 deliver. Fascinating insight into Rodman’s psyche, Phil’s upbringing, Collins’ role. Bad look for Detroit, esp Isiah’s revisionist history. Horace’s “straight up bitches’’ quote of night. Laimbeer as unlikable as ever. But enduring image: MJ hugging trophy."

“I had a question about [MJ’s] turn-around shot so I asked him about it….He gave me a great detailed answer and on top of that he said if you need anything give me a call. It’s like my big brother.”

NBA regular season starts today with 2 great games:

Lakers vs. Nuggets
Suns vs. Warriors

This should be a great season, lots of offseason moves, lots of teams got stronger.

Victor Wembanyama is some freak of nature, could be a great one if he stays healthy.
