1979 Cotton Bowl. Joe Montana overcame hypothermia to lead a Notre Dame second half comeback over Houston. The Fighting Irish were down 22 points and Notre Dame won 35-34. What I remember most about it was what I didn't see. When Notre Dame got down 22 points my stepfather turned the channel...

Mike Trout back in the Angels lineup for the first time in a month. He is 1-2 so far. Angels lead 1-0, bottom of the fourth.

I was able to watch some of the second round of The Memorial and see Jordan Spieth birdie three of his last four holes and four of the last six! He worked his way into contention at -3 and a T-5! It looks to me that Spieth is really close to getting back to his old self, but who knows. I really...

Me as well. As I'm a USMC veteran, but never was in any wartime situation. Relatively peaceful when I served. However, my grandfather was a Marine too that survived Iowa Jima. He was a big, but quiet man. Didn't say much. He never spoke about his experience at Iowa Jima. He was gone for 2...

To be fair. Barkley's nickname was "The Round Mound of Rebound" because he was short by power forward standards 6'4 and fat at 300+lbs. WL, I sense you are younger than me I' in my very late 50's. Almost 60. I believe you're about 10-20 years younger than me, so you may not remember that's what...

The Memorial is already proving to be a challenging course as only 5 of the first 38 players to tee off are under par. Rickie Fowler is -2 through 12. Hovland -1 Rose E Spieth +2

Flagg is going number 1 whether his vertical was 25' or 35'! Kevin Durant's vertical was 33.5'. He, Flagg was among the top leapers of players his size and his speed and agility times were as good or better than many of the guards. Will not affect his status. Dallas is taking him number 1!

The Jack Nicklaus hosted "Memorial Tournament will be played this weekend at Muirfield in Dublin, Ohio. Although not a Major, I always enjoy this tournament! Only 72 players are in and a cut line to the top 50 and a purse of $20 million. It should be exciting and competitive. Among the bigger...

Crow-Armstrong is now leading the NL in WAR at 2.9, has hit 14 HR's, 48 RBI's and stolen 14 bases. Young man is playing very well and the Cubs are full white studs!. Right now the only knock against Armstrong IMO is the OBP and walks. If he could cut down on the K's those stats will get better...

Welcome to CF Flying Finn! Don, I don't have much of an excuse for not posting as much lately other than very busy working, college graduation of my last child, and I played in a weekend long golf tournament. I've also been on a well needed vacation with my wife. All of this over the last 6-8...

Uh, I think it's worth noting that Bird has 6 top 2 finishes whom I have in my top 3 all time players! Bird-6 (81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86) 1. Jordan, although Bird never lost a playoff series to Jordan even though Bird was much older and injured! 2. Jabbar/Bird 3. Bird/Jabbar

Yes. Great article Warhawk. We lost being able to watch CMAC as much here on the east coast, but I hope Shipley can get more time with the Eagles to make it up a little not seeing CMAC, as much.

I can't pinpoint the reason Booth, but I can give a couple possibilities. I think first there may be a lack of interest because the lack of how should I say," flamboyancy" of modern players. In years gone by we had Lee Trevino, Chi Chi Rodriquez, the common man Arnold Palmer. Jack "The Golden...

I was watching the re-run of Live from The PGA as I can't sit long enough to watch the entire review of the tournament. Somehow, they tied Scheffler's PGA win to Woods' 1997 Masters win. I caught the tail end of it, but why? You are correct white is right. It's some weird fetish!

I really should pay more attention to Hockey. Just so busy, I don't really think about as it wasn't prominent in NC growing up. However, my brother and my two sons do follow it and have asked me to a playoff game. I'm not sure they're serious as tickets are somewhere around $400 and UP? I...
