Throw up a hand if you remember when using your credit card required someone to pull out this thing and CHA CHUNK you.

Solid 80s grandparent home entertainment system here. I give it a 97 out of 100 on the Hard Candy Bowl and Bing Crosby Scale.

Had two weeks to prepare. -17 rushing yards. No big plays by D. A poorly prepared team as often happens with Riley.
Just a bad performance. All around.

The NBA desperately needs more guys with male pattern baldness who wear multiple gold chains being coached by guys in plaid leisure suits and that’s actually a hill I’ll die on.

It's a weekend afternoon in the 70s or 80s. You're bored. So you finally give up and watch bowling on ABC with Chris Schenkel. Good decision.

The last time the Milwaukee Brewers were in the World Series you could get 12 8-track tapes for only a dollar through The Gorman Thomas Tape Club®.

I don’t know about you, but if I’m about to invest in an encyclopedia for my family I’m gonna need the peace of mind that only comes with Pete Rose’s endorsement.

Somebody should buy this and drive across America blaring the theme song. It may be the only thing left that can unite us.

Are they a band? Is it prom night? Did the guy in the middle just get married? There is simply no way to know for sure.

Is there anyone in the major leagues today who looks this cool? That’s a rhetorical question. No, there is not.

Although upon installation of the swing set Mr. Smith was left holding two screws and some fat bolt he couldn’t even identify, he cracked open a cold beer, said “That’s good enough,” and sent the kids outside to play.

On an idyllic Chicago summer day, a coach looks out his high-rise window over the city that was his. My story on an icon returning home is free to read here. nytimes.com/athletic/7526967…

Joe Delaney passed away at age 24 while trying to save two young boys from drowning. Terrific running back, gone much too soon. As this NFL season gets underway, let’s take a minute to remember a man who gave away all of his tomorrows trying to help some strangers. #RIP

Sometimes Big Jim would park his camper in a remote area, throw in an Air Supply 8-track, and replay in his mind where it all went wrong.
