Don’t know much about the history of Vikings and am interested in learning more. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Just came across this series with Rich Eisen doing one-on-one interviews with several of the OG SportsCenter hosts from its beginnings in the late 70s through the 90s. It is an entertaining walk down memory lane for anyone who grew up watching those shows as your only means of national sports news before all the games were broadcast and you could get live updates on your phone as the games are played. A lot of behind the scenes stories.

Say what you will about Boston but a girl turned me on to their first album when I was in junior high. My horny junior high self will always love that band.

I missed out on alt.country during its heyday in the '90s.

Same here. The 2011 Gram Parsons tribute album “Return of the Grievous Angel” sent me down a rabbit hole of Americana musicians.

Was recently listening to a Emmylou Harris cover of Joni Mitchell’s “The Magdalene Laundries” and thought what a shame it is that we didn’t get to hear her record more music with Gram. That led me to do some research on his death and I learned about the theft of his body by his road manager — there are some legendary rock-and-roll tales out there but this has to be one of the most bizarre.

Good cover I recently stumbled upon

I have none. I'm just coasting through life

Gotta be the album version though because it features Bob Seger

Definitely good. The acoustic version without him is good too.

Hottest:

Late spring, some small town in southeast Louisiana — DeQuincy, if I remember correctly. Loading big-arse burlap sacks of sheep wool onto train container units. Miserably hot. I wanted to quit so bad. The two older guys who were hired with me did quit. My coach, who hired us, had to go find two guys in a bar to help me finish the job. I just couldn’t look Coach in the eye and tell him I was quitting. Or tell my parents I quit.

Coldest:

Gunstock Mountain in New Hampshire, on a snow lift. It was brutally cold. Every time we got on the lift, we’d say “it’s too cold, this is the last one.” Then we’d get to the bottom of the run and say “damn, that was good, let’s go again.”

quote:

---

Yeah, I was thrown out of the same bar twice one night.

---

I got kicked out of Tiger Stadium twice in one game. They didn’t give me a chance to make it three times because they put me in the paddy wagon after the second time.

quote:

---

Yeah Jay thinks he’s the smartest guy on earth.

I don’t think he spends a lot of time comparing his intelligence to others. I think he studies the game, his team, and his opponent, and he makes decisions that he believes will help his team win.

Based on his record though, he is smarter than most of the people on this board.
