Sports Bio

Most memorable event live:
1996 Olympics
Carl Lewis win his 4th gold in the long jump and Michael Johnson win the 400 in his gold shoes.
2001 Patriot League Final--Holy Cross beats Navy in Patriot League Final to clinch NCAA bid.

Also saw Games 3 and 5 of 2000 Subway Series--neither was that memorable.
Todd Pratt's series-winning home run against the DBacks in the 1999 Division Series was much more memorable.

For fantasy purposes, 1999 Season--Pats-Jets Monday night game at Foxboro, opponent (who was with me at the game) has Vinateiri and field goal will win. Early 4th quarter, Pats are on about the 23 with about 4th and 3, Belicheck elects to go for it.....Pats get stopped and Vinaterieri doesn't get any more kicking opportunities. I win pivotal game for the playoff race.

Most Memorable TV:
Scott Norwood wide right in Super Bowl 25.
Tate George buzzer beater in NCAA Tournament.

The top 100 college point guards of the last fifteen years. The top 20 is the only one i have truly examined and agree with the makeup of the list if not the individual rankings.

Coyotes Appear Set To Name Gretzky New Coach As someone who's always liked Wayne Gretzky, why do I just get the feeling this will end up bad?

posted by dyams at 08:37 AM on August 08

Even if Gretzky is a horrible failure as a coach, it will not tarnish his legacy as a player. The previously cited Ted Williams is a perfect example of this. In my opinion, the only truly all-time great player who has tarnished his playing days after retirement is OJ Simpson.

This is Your Brain on Sports On ESPN2 tonight at 7:30 p.m., SportsFilter regular Jim Daly of Sports Links Central will be attempting to Stump the Schwab, defeating ESPN's in-house trivia expert.

Thank you for all the kind remarks. It was alot of fun. rcade--We did sign and initial an 18-page document which contained a paragraph concerning confidentiality, along with statements saying the producers say was final and the like. As one of my friends said though, for $1 million, they will investigate to see if you violated any such agreement, for $5000 it would probably cost them more than the prize to hire an investigator and prove their case. The show was filmed at a television studio in New York, so the only ESPN personalities I encountered were Stuart Scott and the Schwab. Stewart Scott was very nice and personable, he came over and introduced himself to the contestants before every show. For legal reasons, we couldn't communicate with the Schwab because we were in competition with him, but he was very nice after the competition ended.

I am going to burn the video to DVD some time next week. If anyone is interested, I will burn four others (I only have 5 blank DVDs left) and send them out to the first 4 SpoFites who email me (address in profile) with their mailing addresses. Nothing needs to be sent to me, just drop a few dollars to the SportsFilter server funder (if that still exists) or to the charity rcade was promoting, Modest Needs.

The use of his name alone in a way that does not indicate an endorsement of the product creates ambiguity. I agree that he has publicity rights, but I don't know how much protection is given to the use of his name alone in the way it is used in this advertisement.

I think the first comment (tokar) is probably the best part of the whole thing.

Fantasy baseball again this year? Anyone interested?

MLB may limit the license for the free game to only one provider. I read this in the SportsBusiness Journal (all stories are under subscriber protection) so I am not sure if the Yahoo-Sportsline debate will be moot.

The legend of Latrine Sprewell grows Dude is building up a Tyson-esque resume. Excellent timing considering the current public image of the NBA.

"Old White Guy Makes Racially Insensitive Remark" (thanks jugwine) Larry Bird wants more white guys in basketball because that's who are watching sports in America: White dudes. But Bird qualifies his statement with, "But it is a black man's game, and it will be forever. I mean, the greatest athletes in the world are African-American." Also, Bird felt it the white man wasn't good enough to guard him...

Does anyone think this was a "racially insensitive remark"??
