    How have I never noticed this before? Now I'm going to spend every Redskins game when they wear those socks looking at the stripes.

    By showing clips of Roy Hobbs playing catch with his son in the middle of a wheat field. I don't remember before that. . . . or did you mean Field of Schemes?

    All those names and no Chris Berman. SMDH!

    I vaguely remember something about this, but it's mostly escaping me.

    Sometimes it's quicker to drive up Charles Street to hit I-83 by Penn Station because Baltimore Street always seem to crawl . . . but your route is much more colorful. My one and only trip to the fine establishments of The Block (which was about 3-4 blocks long in its heyday) was some time in the mid 80s, when I was probably 18 or 19. I don't feel like I've been missing out.

    Are you suggesting he wouldn't be able to drive if he still had his eighth tentacle?

    How do you throw back to these and manage to forget a column of stars on the shorts? I will have to check out your article. Orange seems dark as a home jersey, but the Univ. of Illinois has worn orange at home too.

    Butch was partial to crew neck sweaters when he coached at Lafayette during my time there in the 80s. That was his second stint as head coach at Lafayette, the first being from 1951-55 (with Pete Carril playing as a senior the first year). He also had two head coaching stints at Hofstra . . . both immediately following his stints at Lafayette. I don't think I've ever seen/noticed that NY/Apple logo before.

    From the top: 1. Until I see pictures like this, I sometimes forget that basketball socks were often worn like football socks (i.e., colored knee-high socks with white crew socks over them). It would be interesting to see someone replicate that look (at least on a throwback). 2. Interesting (to me, at least) tidbit on the Tom McMillen picture -- He was playing on the visiting team within the Congressional district he would later represent. 3. I've said in other threads that when I was a kid it was hard to tell if the Baltimore Bullets wore black and orange or blue and orange. This pretty clearly shows it was blue . . . and shows the ridiculous design of the Baltimore Civic Center/Baltimore Arena/Royal Farms Arena with a permanent stage at one end of the building.

    They're both bad logos, but at least the Tornados logos reads as Tornados. The W completely disappears on the Towers logo.
  11. leopard88
    No, it's not. I'd just never noticed it before in this case, even though it should have been fairly obvious since the primary is also the helmet logo.
  12. leopard88
    I've never really thought about this before, but it's interesting that the Bombers' primary logo used a color scheme that is almost completely absent from the uniforms (excluding the logos).

    Apparently, I've become desensitized. My first reaction was, "Hey, that name isn't so bad." I think that is the definition of "damning with faint praise."
  14. leopard88
    OK, I SWEAR that I never saw that. Plus, that guy doesn't look angry.
  15. leopard88
    Nah, they'd wind up as the Brooklyn Red Hots with an angry Coney Island hot dog swinging a ketchup bottle as the primary logo.

    No. 1 is what I remember. The company I worked for from 1998-2003 used to get 10-15 shipped to us every year at Mardi Gras from outside counsel in New Orleans. I had never heard of them before then . . . for what that's worth on the "no one outside New Orleans knows what they are" topic.

    Cinnamon roll doesn't sound right to me. The one's I've had always resembled raised donuts with lots of colored sugar on them. Then, again, I'm not in New Orleans . . . and it's been about 14 years since I've seen/had one.
  18. leopard88
    Seamless?
  19. leopard88
    I apparently have some reading to do.
  20. leopard88
    I'll second this. When Chris Tillman was taken out of the AL Wildcard Game, Ernie didn't even mention that Buck Showalter had left the dugout . . . not to mention the TBS cameras/feed also failed to show the mound visit. The first sign that Tillman was coming out of the game that I recall was a shot of him walking to the dugout.

    With Army and Navy, I don't think there is any great interest in upgrading their other sports to upper level Division I standards . . . and I doubt the rest of the Big XII schools have any interest in adding schools with 5,000 +/- seat basketball arenas.
  22. leopard88
    Just saw that. I remember him from his days doing local sports in Baltimore . . . back in the early 80s. http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/17263104/john-saunders-long-familiar-air-face-espn-nearly-30-years-died-age-61

    Thanks for the heads up. It took me about 15 seconds to decide that it is infinitely better than before. The old version was a cluster____.

    The whole series is very well done. My wife and I got sucked in a few weeks ago. The jury certainly could have justified an acquittal on the basis of reasonable doubt. To me, that is actually an example of the system working as it was intended (which is what I told my wife the day of the verdict). What was frustrating (bordering on infuriating) was to hear one juror say it was revenge for Rodney King and another say it was (in part) because they had been sequestered for nine months. As you said, the series showed that O.J. was as far removed from the black community as was probably possible in 1994. For him to be acquitted as a message on behalf of the black community is beyond ironic.

    Barnwell has the rare gift of being able to rely on analytics without talking over everyone's head. I may not always get the numbers (or even care to), but I can still follow his points.
