40’s is way too young for vision to begin going bad.



I disagree. When mine started going bad around 44-45 I was complaining to my optometrist that it was too young for failing eyesight and he said it that's exactly when it starts in most men.

That's when it started for me and yes it does!

I briefly trained with the Ultimate Warrior (Jim Hellwig) in the early 90's and he was an a-hole in every sense, especially in his treatment of women.

Good Shawn Michaels story:

Back when the University of Wisconsin still had a baseball team some team members went to a WWF event. One of the players was hated by many on the team and the story is he was heckling Michaels throughout his match to the point where they exchanged words. Word has it that Michaels tracked the guy down after the match and slapped the shite out of him in a corridor and no one would break it up. I didn't witness it but it was relayed to me by others and I do know the guy had two black eyes at practice.

Agreed. Richie Sexson is a great guy. Conversely, I've heard nothing good about Emmitt Smith and Doug Collins told me once you will never hearing anything good about Michael Jordan outside of his athletic ability and he was trying to be charitable when I pressed him what it was like to coach him.

Barkley and Kurt Warner are two other good guys.
Paul Tracy was on the Team Kool Racing Team with Judd's ex-husband Dario Franchitti and he said Ashley Judd is an absolutely horrible person.
Lived in Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach in the 90's and saw many celebrities and the two that stood out were Raquel Welch (saw her at Spago in Beverly Hills) and she was one of the few who equaled or surpassed my expectations. She was incredibly gorgeous. Another was Pam Anderson. I used to routinely run into her at the Paradise Cove Beach Cafe in Malibu after surfing and not only was she stunning in person she was incredibly cool. Saw Bo Derek at the Las Vegas Hilton after a Mike Tyson fight and she was beautiful but was caught off guard at how short she was.

EDIT:

Raquel Welch was with this goober at Spago and I remember thinking "shite, I might have a chance!"

Great instrumental and the jazzed up version with Emerson, Lake & Palmer is decent

Jimmy Taylor to Saints is another good example.



Chuck Foreman to New England is another. Paul Hornung also to the Saints in the expansion draft but never suited up due to injury and retired.
Lots of good ones listed. I always liked this The Horse, it was very popular with my HS pep band and when I hear it it takes me back.



I posted this story in a similar thread back in July:

quote:

Ex-girlfriend told me the story of when she was married and they had a teenage son. Dad shows son a pic of an Arizona Cardinals cheerleader online and son says "Dad, she's pretty. How do you know her?" Dad tells son "she's a friend". Not long after ex's phone rings, it's the husband calling. She picks up and there is the sound of two people having sex. It turns out that unknown to the husband the cheerleader dialed the wife from her husband's phone (presumably) on the nightstand so the wife can hear her husband cheating on her. That's savage. Obviously, that was the end of the marriage and needless to say, my ex had trust issues after that.

A buddy met Mike Tyson in a boxing gym post biting off Evander Holyfield's ear. Said he exuded danger.



Funny, I met Tyson many times through friends when he lived in Scottsdale and never got that feeling from him, he was always extremely pleasant (especially if there were women around).

Interesting subject. I've told friends many times there weren't many men I was "afraid" of but there are three that stand out as coming across unhinged and that it was unsettling being around them. One was Roberto Duran. Was in the Bay Area with friends for a Wisconsin/Stanford football game in 1996 and ran into him in the Cadillac Bar & Grill in SF the night before the game. He was drunk and/or coked up and was fine when I spoke with him about his boxing career but other guys kept bugging him for his autograph and he was extremely agitated and wanting to fight. I vividly recall he had snot coming out of his nose and kept wiping it with his sleeve. I'm pretty sure he was solo and had no friends to reign him in and I bailed when it looked like it was getting out of control. I'm pretty sure he would have taken on the whole bar.

I played slo-pitch softball in the late 80's with a Arizona (Phoenix) Cardinal LB named Niko Noga. He was a Samoan with a head the size of a stop sign and when we went out after games he always seemed to find trouble. Two other Cardinal players on the softball team said the whole team was afraid of the guy and they shipped him off to Detroit. I remember he was always wanting to arm wrestle me.

In the early-to-mid 90's I traveled to LV for work quite a bit and boxed at Johnny Tocco's Ringside Gym when visiting. A lot of big-name boxers trained there, including Iran Barkley, who twice beat Tommy Hearns. One night a bunch of us from the gym went to a local nightclub on a weeknight and one-by-one the crowd dissipated until it was just he and I and another. Barkley was truly a crazy person and even the bar security kept their distance. He begged us to stay and continue partying and finally I snuck out. Again, he appeared under the influence of drugs. I saw him a few times after that and I kept my distance. He has since fallen on hard times and I believe he is (or was) homeless.

Gotta keep the folks in SPD happy! Medical-device rep, I'm assuming? (former Stryker rep here)

If I cancelled recently would I be considered a new customer if I sign up?



Yes but there is a workaround. I canceled my account during the recent Disney dispute and signed up again yesterday using a different email and payment method (credit card). It worked like a charm. A debit card will also work, obviously.

Good one. I would love to have witnessed in person Ward/Gatti I or Castillo/Corrales.
