  1. what are your thoughts on barry melrose being honored? melrose deserves tremendous credit for what that team did in '93, especially considering how gretzky was out for the first half of the year. finally reaching the promised land of the finals was such a huge deal, and as a kings fan i finally felt like we had everything we needed for this team to finally break through. and then came the corey millen trade a couple of weeks after the finals. the dismantling of the team began. for the next two years, the kings sucked badly enough they missed the playoffs. melrose was fired near the end of his third year, and the team limped heavily for the next couple of years. melrose wanted a team that was bigger and tougher, and sam the disaster mcmaster agreed, and they systematically began trading off smaller players for bigger, less talented ones. dang, for a few years, john druce seemed to be "the guy". they were a terrible, terrible team. how much blame goes to melrose? does it overshadow what they did that first year? i'm not a fan of what he did after the cup run, and think his philosophy did far more damage than good. it led to the team almost collapsing financially.
  2. anyone know when fox sports begins their golf broadcasts? i'm interested in hearing greg norman.
  3. Was at the beach once while he was there doing a story. He was wearing a full suit and dress shoes while tramping through the sand. Very nice guy in person, and always warm and sincere on the air. My FIL looks a lot like him.
  4. From beautiful downtown Burbank . . . That was a truly great voice.
  5. That visor-ganizer could very well replace the fanny pack. I'm in!
  6. i'd go with three words: better than ezra.
  7. who cares about that? I WANT TO KNOW HOW AWESOME HIS PANTS WERE TODAY!!!!
  8. plus rivera had those really cool frosted tips in his 'do.
  9. a smaller strike zone would cause cj wilson to have to retire.
  10. but the east and the south are being hammered with the coldest, snowiest winter in a few decades. is climate change global or isolated?
  11. Learnin' 'bout Cuba, having some pizza.
  12. I would have ranked Cheri Oteri quite a bit higher. John Belushi was funny and memorable, but Phil Hartman did it better and for much longer. Hartman would be #1 for me, easily.
  13. They have ever changing speed limits on those bridges in Portland, too. It's idiotic. Gonna be up there next month and drive thru that nonsense.
  14. my hope is they have to follow the same rules our kids have to follow. my guess is they haven't.
  15. btw, nice title change on this thread to whomever did it.
  16. Tiger announcing he's taking time off to work on his game. he's absolutely should do this considering he's chipping and driving like a 25 handicapper. he worked on his game today by going to colorado to watch his girlfriend ski.
  17. that's about the same number of times each week that stradling strikes out on singles night at appleby's.
