  - you & Ty! -- nm - peglegpete Oct 12, 18:16 2
    - like I would ever marry Redmond. - ty97 Oct 12, 18:18 1

recently someone posted a great joke .. the subject said something like "still funny" - I can't find it with S Talk - JenBro Oct 12, 17:57 10

  - I just got so excited I replied to the original post ... THAT'S THE ONE - I *HEART* you for this!!!! - JenBro Oct 12, 18:33 1
    - Happy to be of service :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 12, 18:52
  - And one of my favorites, posted in response... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Oct 12, 18:26 [Backboard]
- Can you remember anything more about it? -- nm - the liioulu with empty bottle Oct 12, 18:13 3
  - this is so sad - it had a completely unexpected punch line - totally clever - JenBro Oct 12, 18:18 2
    - Search Dignan -- nm - Redmond Oct 12, 18:19 1
      - better not, don't know where he has been. -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 18:23
- I've seen that phrase used - but generally for things that wouldn't translate well outside of ST. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 12, 18:11 1
  - Yes, most of the "still funny" posts are about ST Shivs, or inside jokes. -- nm - Redmond Oct 12, 18:14
Let me ask this of the Sox fans...let's change history slightly in 2004. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 17:54 1
- man, that's a tough one. and impossible to gauge really, because we coasted for virtually every second after we beat the Yankees. - TFox Oct 12, 18:00
why are the dolphins wearing the denver jersies? -- nm - Truman Oct 12, 17:46 1

- welcome to the party, pal. -- nm - Max Oct 12, 18:08

- save the cheerleader? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 12, 17:55 1
  - "stave the cheerleader" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 18:48
David not knowing the 0 & 21 start makes me question his sports knowledge in general. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 17:38 2
- That was my freshman year of college. It was sex or baseball and I made my choice. -- nm - David Oct 12, 17:40 1
  - Well, showing your age like that, i can understand you forgetting pertinant details -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 17:46
Is this really Ricky Williams' best start in his *career*? Gruden just said that -- nm - GWAA Oct 12, 17:34 2
- No way...he started 2002 with 450 yards in his first 4 games...or so. -- nm - Jim Oct 12, 17:39 1
  - Yeah I was pretty sure he had better years than this -- nm - GWAA Oct 12, 17:44
Sure...everyone was wrong about the Broncos...but Reilly was a Class A prick about it...so pointing out his assholishness is awesome, IMO. -- nm - Jim Oct 12, 17:25 3
- Given the offseason you guys had, I see it as more calling them like you see them. - David Oct 12, 17:27 2
  - Everyone picked them to suck...but not many were as ignorant as Reilly. - Jim Oct 12, 17:29
  - Sidenote: I can't stand Reilly. I just see that as more pathetic "journalism" from Deadspin. - David Oct 12, 17:28
Mental note: Shouting "Matt Holliday alert!" does not please the missus. -- nm - David Oct 12, 17:23
House: If they're going where I hope they're going (spoils) - TWuG Oct 12, 17:22 2
- Well (future spoils) - Jim Oct 12, 17:34 1
  - I'd heard that. Makes me hope for more. -- nm - TWuG Oct 12, 17:39
"Somewhere there's an 8 year old Yankees fan that wonders if the team will ever win a World Series in his lifetime." -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 17:16 40
- [deleted] 39
  - I would say that it could, which is where it gets tricky. - Reagen Oct 12, 17:31 37
    - I think you're going to get as far with this theory as I have with my spoilers theory. :-) -- nm - TWuG Oct 12, 17:40 32
      - [deleted] 31
        
        were they under 30? i mean, don't get me wrong, that was an awesome, awesome day... - TFox Oct 12, 17:47 30

        If you weren't alive for Bucky Dent, how could you be impacted by Bucky Dent? - Will Hunting Oct 12, 17:59 24
        
        A personal example for me along those lines is the 1976 Grey Cup - Reagen Oct 12, 18:04
        
        [deleted] 11
        
        because you're having a different debate from everyone else? - TFox Oct 12, 18:05 10
        
        [deleted] 9
        
        but the difference really isn't the baseball being played, as much as the expectations put on it by the fans. you are told to expect better things... - TFox Oct 12, 18:13 6
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I love how you always act like I'm going to go around enforcing this rather than just using it as a way to discuss sports. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 18:22
        
        can we modify it to "allowed, but cool it, don't freak worse than the 60 yr old in the same bar, or he's within his rights to punch you"? -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 18:20 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Somehow, the White Sox got shafted through all that. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 18:14 1
        
        Oh, the Sox fans cared. - the liioulu with empty bottle Oct 12, 18:19
        
        If there were born after say 1983....the Cubs fan has it better. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 18:12
        
        Or maybe more if a Cubs fan has suffered more than a Royals fan. - the liioulu with empty bottle Oct 12, 18:11
        
        I mean, for my friends, the oldest Sox that can be their favorites are like Boggs and Evans. For the Yankees fans, it's basically Mattingly. - TFox Oct 12, 18:02 10
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        well apples and oranges, since interactions between countries are far more important and far-reaching. - Reagen Oct 12, 18:14 7
        
        I'll give as good an example as I can. David Tyree and Aaron Boone. - TFox Oct 12, 18:18 4
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        both occurred well within the recent past, though. - Reagen Oct 12, 18:24
        
        neither do i. i guess both, because you're both on weird extremes and i like the middle, where i'm right. :) -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 18:22
        
        (7) -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 18:19
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I don't see it as narrowing it all that much. - Reagen Oct 12, 18:20
        
        (In fact, the oldest player I remember *loving*? Chris Sabo. For the same reason I loved Horace Grant. The goggles.) -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 18:04
        
        I assume he just picked a round number and didn't mean it as a hard cut off. - Reagen Oct 12, 17:59
        
        i mean, they can cry if they want. you can't fake tears. people cry at all sorts of shit. - TFox Oct 12, 17:57
        
        Right. Exactly. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 17:50
        
        (at which point i glance up the thread and notice that this is the point of the entire thread. ignore me.) -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 17:48
    - [deleted] 3
      - I'm taking this seriously and not seriously at the same time, if you get my drift - Reagen Oct 12, 17:41 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Uh-huh. -- nm - the liioulu with empty bottle Oct 12, 17:50
  - Last 3 summers we've had drought. - the liioulu with empty bottle Oct 12, 17:21
