Soccer, Sports and Politics - Part Deux

OTOH he was built like Arnold circa 1975 and made a mockery of the spirit of the game. As did many others. He's a super douche too. I'd be happy if he never makes it in.

If fat head never did roids he would've still been a lock for the HOF

 

Geez...nobody has mentioned "say hey"!

 

"B-but, he, uh, like, uh, played for MY team, so its OK!"

-bay area, bahsten, scrubs, cardinals, and yankmees fans

 

In defense of Cardinals fans, based on message board activity, nearly no one would argue that McGwire should be in the HoF. One or two might make the claim, but they have about the same level of respect among the majority of posters as Germerica has generated for himself here.

 

I'd rather see Willie McGee in.

 

Willie McGee? "But where would we play him?"
Actual quote from then Red Sox GM Lou Gorman, when someone suggested they try and trade for him.

 

Thats true, but then there's also America's Druncle, Tony LaRussa, who would have won exactly Jack and shït, without the assistance of roided players.

At least, based upon his craptacular 2nd tenure with the white sox.

 

I would have loved to hear a conversation between Casey Stengel and Yogi Berra. That alone would be Hall of Fame material!

 

Uh...Chelsea v Manu match over. Guess what!!!

 

But we'll always have this NSFW classic by the irrespressible Earl Weaver



During one particular tirade with an umpire, Weaver headed to the dugout screaming, "I'm going to check the rule-book on that" to which the umpire replied, "Here, use mine." Weaver shot back, "That's no good—I can't read Braille."

 

On August 15, 1975 — In twin bill against the Rangers at Memorial Stadium, Orioles’ skipper Earl Weaver is ejected twice by umpire Ron Luciano. The fiery Baltimore manager is thrown out in the first game of a doubleheader and is tossed again before a pitch is thrown in the nightcap when the sworn enemies begin feeding once more as the lineup cards are exchanged.

 

Nephews ...what do you expect of them?

 

They don't come like Earl or Billy Martin anymore. I can't remember the last time a manager went on a tirade.

 

Tirades are fvkcing stoopid. Crying to the ump/ref is a fücking waste of time.

The ump/red never reverses their calls, so the tirades are all mental masturbation. Even when the call is laughably wrong.

 

Chris Richards starting in the FA Cup Final. America!

 

Nice win for the US over Germany this morning at the Worlds

 

The reason they yell at the official is they're looking for a favorable next call. That tended to have the opposite effect on me!

 

America!

 

I can. A mild mannered Twins manager went off about that stupid catcher at home plate rule. I think that it was the first time that that happened.
