no. do tell. thats what this thread is for. please enlighten me/us.
and as for the MJ comment about no other sport having the best ever constantly mentioned....
hmmmmmm.
this year. Tiger Woods v Jack Nicklaus. Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron v Barry Bonds v Arod. i would say those are/were fairly big stories.
hockey? can you ever hear anyone mentioned w/o comparing them to Gretzky? or Gordie Howe? NO.
soccer/futbol...Pele, at least here in the states. we are apparently (sarcastic) so educated over here when it comes to futbol.
boxing....Ali.
dont be so bitter, mcat, there's one in every sport. not just the one you got jobbed in the most.
btw, since you seem bitter, heres a pill for you. i think you owe us St Louisans your super bowl trophy. we didnt set up fancy equipment on the sidelines/stands to steal any signals/formations. if your Pats cheated now, they were cheating then. Bellichek is a farce.
j/k....just thought i'd stir the pot a bit. some people here in STL actually think that. oh, and they still want their '85 world series back from the Royals. they think the ump cost them the series with that blown call. they conveniently forget they still had game 7. or the rest of game 6, for that matter. same thing with the super bowls. its not like the filming gave NE an insurmountable advantage.
keep up the fun....good times.
