The Spirits of St. Louis and the Kentucky Colonels were real victims of the ABA-NBA merger along with the Flint Tropics (not so real).

The Edmonton Eskimos...Victims of CFL Political Correctness

The Ottawa Rough Riders...no longer in the CFL although greatness ensued when the played the Saskatchewan Rough Riders (who still exist)

We attended in the early 90s when it was at the Belmont.

It was dated dump in the hood then, and now it's worthless vacant land in the hood.

It's hard to believe that place was once a destination for stars (including Clark Gable and others) visiting Baton Rouge. Then again, the Beatles stayed at a hotel/motel on Chef Highway when they played Tad Gormley.
For all of the Pels self-inflicted wounds, dodging that one makes me smile.

The fact that Cousins screwed himself really makes it sweet.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of his politics or worldview either.

But the guy is a human encyclopedia of professional wrestling and definitely is right about the business/presentation being better in the past.

I remember when Bobby Eaton died how broken up Cornette was on his podcast. That's going to be a tough one.
Plus Luke Perry and Paul Reubens (although he was much older when he died) from the film version...whole universe seems cursed
A 16-game schedule was ideal.

Besides the extra wear and tear, a 17-game schedule is dumb because the schedules are uneven, unless they make every team play an international game (which they're already playing almost 10, just make it 16) and stop designating a home/away team for it.

An 18-game schedule, while inevitable, is only wanted for money. It has no other benefit.

What's funny is that they had two bye weeks for a season in the 1990s when they still had 16 games. Any move to 18 games should require a second bye week or the Players' Union is worthless.

ETA: Florio is an idiot. Besides competition issues, what about a player that needs the last game for an incentive bonus? I doubt the Union will go for that either.
The only way Chuck Norris needs to go to the hospital is if Chuck Norris sends him there.

Seriously, hope he's OK.
Is a scavenger hunt on this property really a good idea?

I guess it could be worse if they did it at Churchill Farms behind Mosca's.

Ok, maaybe not the Final Cut since that still had roger and felt floyd-like. But definitely TFC and on just doesn't really hit the same, IMO.


As someone who thinks Roger is a brilliant writer but a major a-hole, I always chuckle that Rick was the only one to make money off "The Wall" shows, especially after he got the shaft from Waters.

TFC definitely suffers from a lack of Rick Wright and a relative lack of David Gilmour (who, at that point, had just taken a "let's get this over with" attitude).

It's not a bad album, but it takes a second or third listen to get into it. After all, it was "spare bricks".

They did the same to me...$9.99 to $7.99 and that was it. I went through the chat function, so maybe that was a mistake.

Two subscriptions, 20+ years a customer

I still cancelled mine...$8 a month ($16 for two) will still be close to $20 after they add in the royalty fees, taxes, etc. That's where I was before the latest increase.

I've got until April 15th until the subscription ends. Holding out hope that I get a better offer.
Working to get rid of the Orleans Parish judges sounds like a good idea to me
Not everyone can be Pat Haden.

I think they let him get back to Baton Rouge. Pink slip delivered on Friday.
Since I don't see it anymore, I assume the Kate Upton thread go whacked again...

And this is not a worthy replacement :yack:

ETA: Nothing against the OP...this is the informative and disturbing stuff the OT is known for
If he had, he would've missed the rest of the season for "Embarrassment".

There's definitely a hill on College just north of I-10 and it's out of place otherwise. That's probably it.
"I, Claudius" from the BBC in the 1970s, later broadcast on PBS

13 episode historical fiction series based on the books by Robert Graves about the Roman Empire's ruling families from Augustus through Nero.

The story is told from the point-of-view of the Emperor Claudius (whose fabricated-for-the book account (based on the real world writings of Tacitus, et al) was recovered during a modern-era archeological dig). Claudius is actually wise but was perceived to be a fool because of his disabilities, all the while managing to avoid constant conflict, decay, and assassinations all around him to ascend to the role of Ceasar.

Besides John Hurt as Caligula, you'll recognize Patrick Stewart as Sejanus (with a lot more hair than he had a decade later as Jean-Luc Picard).
