NFL Nostalgia Thread…

Wanna know a little more of my anger roots…?

I lived in the country, so we didn’t get a daily paper, either. So no sports page. No box scores. And I had to go to bed before the nightly news sports segment. I found out if my football/baseball/basketball team won the next day at school.

That must have sucked. We only got the paper 3 times a week at 3 towns we lived in, but that sports section was gold because of only getting it that often. I can't imagine never getting one at all.

My mom has a picture of me laying on the living room floor reading the box scores when I was 8 or 9.
 
When I got to Jr High, our school library had the daily newspaper so I could duck in there to read the sports page.

And when I got to 9th grade, I was allowed to stay up later so I could see the sports report on the 10 O'clock news.

I had reached Nirvana. :towel
 
And don't think it was an accident that they had Pat saying "thrust" right when she's standing up and sticking out her chest.

His "eating contest" story was hilarious.

Did you read his book? The story about everyone drinking milk of magnesia the night before weigh-ins and one particular result was fucking hilarious.

Oh, and there one where Don Shula's date was caught smoking a cigar was a good one too.

Fuck it... the whole book is good.

And anyone who's into vintage boxing (40's - 60's) will see his dad as third man in the ring in plenty of big fights.
