Technology Touchdowns A few examples of how the NFL embraces technology. Everything from removable grass fields to the thermometer pill to ZUES software.

Former star center for two University of Michigan national championship teams, Gerald R. Ford, dead at 93. Oh and he was also President of the United States for awhile too.

Actually, his loss to Carter was quite narrow and probably was not ENTIRELY due to the pardoning of Nixon. Rather, it was probably due to the debate blunder about Poland not being under Soviet control - and taking several days after to admit his mistake....

Regarding President Ford's golfing abilities, he did score a hole-in-one at the 1977 (I believe) St. Jude Open (Pro-Am) in Memphis.... May he Rest In Peace.

Suspensions Handed Out In lieu of the largest mayham since the Palace in 2004, 6 players got suspended for their roles in an intense fight. Carmelo Anthony got harshest penalty, and will serve 15 games for his actions.

Regarding Melo's apology: I just realized one of my biggest dreams when we opened the Youth Center in Baltimore that bares my name. I think the statement, as written, sez it all....

It's obvious you are either taking, or need to take, some sort of remedial grammar course. Does Vacaville have any such offerings?

tommytrump beat me to it; Ricky's not in the NHL - but I wouldn't be surprised to see him there given his bizarre pro sports life so far....

How about those Fremont Athletics? Just so the new Santa Clara 49ers don't get singled out for pulling up roots, the Oakland A's will announce next week their plans to build the new Cisco Field in Fremont, about 20 miles away from their current stadium, the Oakland Coliseum. Fun fact: Fans will have to park elsewhere and get shuttled in because the stadium will be surrounded by shopping malls.

In response to Lionsfan20, I recall there's some college football team in the LA area that has played decently over the past few years....

The "clutchiest" hits in MLB playoff history.
From Ortiz to Branca, from Brosius to Gibson, a semi-statistical breakdown of the biggest hits in MLB playoff history. So who had the clutchiest hit ever?
Tony Womack?!

Uh, Laker, Carter's homer didn't "win" the World Series in the same vein as Mazeroski's did. If it were in a Game Seven, then I'd agree with you.

The Mick's 10 biggest taters Did anyone hit 'em as far as Mantle? Will anyone?
posted by mjkredliner at 01:23 AM on August 18
Thanks for the link, mjkredliner. Great history, but as a volunteer umpire I have one quibble with the website's story about the Griffith Stadium shot (#7). The author states "Had Mickey touched Billy he would have automatically been declared out and would have been credited only with a double." That is not true; only if Mantle were judged to have PASSED Martin would he be called out....

Is Mac deserving? Some thoughts regarding Mac's potential inclusion in the HOF.

Commenting on sic's post regarding Pete Rose's eligibility - I agree he should be in the HOF based on his accomplishments and that the Hall is not necessarily a place for saints. Keep in mind the reason Rose is not on the ballot - he is on the "ineligible" list as part of his agreement with Giamatti. I say that regrettably, because I grew up in love with Rose and the Big Red Machine....

MrFrisby - Thanks for the OP; although the thermometer pill does remind me of the controversy after Johnny Cash's death when a hemmorhoid ointment company wanted to use "Ring of Fire" in their ad campaign. Another musician who was a contemporary of Cash's would give us the theme song if it were urinated out....
