Surprised to learn...

[John Kelly]

...Nick Saban stands only 5'6".

As a tip of the cap to both political parties, here's a look at Nick Saban from a couple of White House appearances.

With a win today, Patrick Mahomes will improve to 25-1 over his last 26 NFL starts.

I knew he was good but I didn't realize his won-loss record was THAT impressive.

 

[John Kelly]

Never keep your eggs on the refrigerator door because they move every time you open the refrigerator.

Seems like old refrigerators had egg compartments built on the door.

 

[John Kelly]

What have you been "surprised to learn" recently?

A little over 25 years ago I waited in line at the Primadonna at State Line to check in a little after midnight.
I was the only one in line but there was a person very short in stature getting a room at the front desk.

As he slowly turned to make his way to the elevator I noticed it was Paul Anka.....he couldn't have been over 5' 5".

The clerk told me his car broke down up the road and needed a room til morning.

Mr. Kelly with the jinx

 

[MrTop]

Should have got Anka to sing a few bars of my way.... he also wrote it for sinatra




foreman / michael moorer fight...fight just finished. this wide guy not too tall... I thought he was security, --- walter payton


sat next to robert wagner & steve lawrence. many more at ringside.

 

[Heim]

Anka also composed the Tonight Show theme song with Carson.

 

[MrTop]

wow i did not know that

 

[ComptrBob]

Surprised that KC is the first team to host 3 straight AFC championships. By itself that is somewhat odd, but also:

Philly is the only team to host 3 straight NFC championships. Guess who coached them both?

 

[MrTop]

lol

 

[FairWarning]

I would have bet Chuck Mangione composed it.

Good story, MrTop.

Flew into Burbank Airport one day going to the Rose Bowl.

At the other end of baggage claim was Pat Boone and entourage, seemed around 5'7", but they list him at 5'9". Probably was using the same yardstick as VD. LOL

 

[John Kelly]

I was sitting courtside at Staples Center watching a game between the Clippers and Mavericks.

The year was 2000.

I saw what looked like a fan sitting directly behind the Mavs bench.

He was standing and hollering at the refs on every whistle.

At the time, I thought to myself, "Where's security? And why doesn't Dallas head coach Don Nelson complain about this guy's constant barking?"

The guy was a total nuisance but he seemed to have the respect of every member of the Mavs team.

Who was he?

Would love to bet UNDER on a man's self-estimated height.

I'll also take UNDER on a woman's self-reported age.

 

[John Kelly]

And one other area of poor estimation/evaluation: Studies have shown 75% of Americans feel they are among the top 25% in terms of IQ.

That's almost as hard to believe as this being Rodgers first chance at a home NFC title game. Then again it does seem weird for a guy with a ring, a sure place in Canton and what seems like gazillions of dollars to say getting to play it at home means so much to him.

That's good, very good.

NBA Commissioner David Stern use To Fine The Shit out of Cuban Whenever He Publicly Criticized The Officials. Which was Quite Often. Half a Million a PoP.

 

[John Kelly]

Good memory, BM.

Mark Cuban has been fined more than $3.1 million by the NBA over the past 20 years.

And when paying the league offices, Cuban simulataneously donates the fine amount to charity.

Can you say "mensch"?

 

[cheapseats]

Now he has banned the National Anthem at his place. Home grown terrorist.

 

[John Kelly]

Cuban was standing up for the National Anthem in 2017.

Too inconsistent for me.

 

[mr merlin]

When does the NBA season start?

 

[Bigrunner]

Snowflakes chirping away!

 

[Dell Dude]

Oh no. Big Dummy's back.

 

[FairWarning]

When does the NBA season start?

Like any other season - may.

 

[cheapseats]

NBA told the leftist jerk the anthem must be played. Guess the NBA is seeing how the left destroys.

 

[MrTop]

Probably not the Chinese one, but worth checking

 

[mr merlin]

I cant imagine anything more pathetic for a white man to do than discuss the NBA.

 

[MrTop]

I cant imagine anything more pathetic for a white man to do than discuss the NBA.

but you are for management i thought

 

[Bigrunner]

Hey, did all you conservative Republicon chirping Snowflakes hear about the latest findings on fossil fuels air pollution?

 

[Dell Dude]

You fart?

 

[Bigrunner]

You fart?

Very Dumb Dude is chirping again. Tell us about the goods Bill Barr produced. Lol

 

[Dell Dude]

The Big Dummy Big Dance contest goes LIVE by this weekend.

 

[Dell Dude]

The forum is going to have some good clean fun at the expense (figuratively) of Big Dummy and literally at mine and some lucky poster may also get stiffed $1000. A great time to be had by all! Except Big Dummy.

 

[Bigrunner]

Did the chirping Republicon Snowflakes see the Trump mob of Republicons storm the Capitol and kill cops and fellow Americans. Boy did I nail it over 4 years ago. I said "Trump is a Traitor and his cult are dangerous Un-American idiots and suckers".

I even created a sign/avatar documenting my knowledge of the obvious.

 

[Bigrunner]

What have you been "surprised to learn" recently?

I wasn't surprised to learn that "Very Dumb Dude" celebrated Guesser's death by making him the the butt of many jokes and attacks. Did "Very Dumb Dude's deplorable far right wing behavior surprise you JK?

Very Dumb Dude, tell us about the goods Bill Barr produced.
