Two differences worth mentioning, MJ saved his body by playing in college for 3-years. Also, don't think LeBron's game ages as gracefully. That said, don't think he is going to go play baseball or football next year so should be back at it. Will be fun to watch. Know he got skinny when he came back to Cleveland presumably to prolong his career.
I'll give it to Buffalo but Philly is definitely tops of the 4 team towns. Yes we just won a title, 9 years ago. That was our first in 25 years at that point and now we have 2 titles from 4 sports in 35 years. It ain't all sunshine and rainbows up in this #####.
I don't even remember the Cowboys ever being any good. Even when they have a good year they get their hearts ripped out. Maybe from my perspective its different.
I like how he casually had his left hand ready to block the other side of the hoop too.
Minnesota won 3 with the Twins and their basketball franchise is relatively new. Buffalo only has a football team (hockey doesn't count).
Counting a Twins win from 1924?
LOFL at Minnesota. The Twins won the World Series in 1987 and 1991. The Vikings won the NFL championship in 1969. (And the Lynx have won 3 WNBA championships in since 2011.
) Minnesota is not in this conversation.1924, 1987, 1991.
Sorry you don't get to complain about this. Just go outside.LOFL at Minnesota. The Twins won the championship in 1987 and 1991. The Vikings won the NFL championship in 1969. (And the Lynx have won 3 WNBA championships in since 2011.
Buffalo won the NFL championship in 1964 and 1965. Plus, the Bills reached the Super Bowl 4 times and lost, and the Sabres reached the Stanley Cup finals twice and lost, so they got very close several times since 1965.
The Chargers have spent 52 seasons in San Diego with zero championships, and the Padres have spent 48 seasons in San Diego with zero championships. They also briefly had the Clippers and Rockets with no championships. The Chargers reached the Super Bowl 1 time and the Padres reached the World Series 2 times during that span.
Chargers "win" here, because they have the most total major sports seasons (110, counting this year for the Padres) without a championship, and, in fact, have never had a championship. The only other city that is close is Buffalo, and Buffalo teams reached the final game/series twice as often as San Diego teams, plus they actually won 2 championships in their history.
And if we are going to count NFL championships, not superbowls, then shouldn't we count AFL championships as well? Which both san diego and buffalo won before the merger? As a vikings fan, 1969 doesn't count. Just ask any cheesehead wearing fool you might bump into.LOFL at Minnesota. The Twins won the World Series in 1987 and 1991.

The thing about San Diego is that it doesn't feel like torture. There were no close calls. Blown out in the Super Bowl by the 49ers. Padres swept in the 1998 world series and lost 4-1 in the 1984 world series. San Diego has never even had a truly "great" team.LOFL at Minnesota. The Twins won the World Series in 1987 and 1991.

Hmm. I think there's a lot to suggest that LeBron's game ages gracefully, if for no other reason than the advances made in sports medicine over the last 20 years. But savant-level passing doesn't really decline with age, he's tall enough to remain a rebounding force at both ends, he's really clever with both hands around the basket, great at filling open space and avoiding fouls... If the Association was still a bunch of iso-heavy rock fights I could see it, but LeBron won't need to jump over the pile to be effective in his mid-30s; the game is changing just the right ways to suit him.
We may not see GS again for another decade in the Championship.
This is a really good point. The worst torture San Diego fans have endured is Marty Schottenheimer and Norv Turner coaching in the playoffs, and they knew what they were getting into with both guys. It's child's play compared to the Bills' run of Super Bowl losses or all the playoff games the Vikings have blown in the last two minutes.
No ####### way Noel is worth the number 3 pick, even in a two player draft. Noel has been only OK and has a year left before he gets a nice over priced contract in the most inflated cap the NBA may ever see. Drafting somebody they get 4 years of cheap contracts and probably a 70% chance that they have the better player as well. If Boston is really considering that, there should be 28 teams on the phone ready to offer a better deal.Former Providence coach Tim Welch said(On Sports tonight, local show up here) the 6ers are doing serious recon on Dunn down in Providence. Saying Noel for #3 pick possible over the next 48 hoursnot sure how I fell about Noel though
With last night's loss, the 2016 Warriors went from being compared to the 1996 Bulls to being compared to the 2001 Mariners.proninja said:
A 30-year-old with a 60-year-old parent and a 90-year-old grandparent who are all fans of the same team? I get it then. I'm a third-generation fan of a franchise (one quite the opposite of "tortured"). I feel a connection to the team's history others might not because being a fan of the team is part of being in the family.
Oh well la-dee-da, look who has relatives that procreated at a responsible and appropriate age.
The bloodline I suggested was hypothetical, though re-reading I see how a reasonable person could infer what you did.
Was simply awesome. I really dont like Lebron, but man I could watch that over and over.
More and more I'm coming to that conclusion. As someone who's acted like a complete butthole because of a sporting event, one reeeally shouldn't act like a complete butthole over a sporting event. Unless you're like, you know, 20 years old or something.
As bad as pro sports fans are, college sports fans are worse. And I'm saying this as a fan of a CBB blueblood, which makes me part of the problem, not the solution. But I can't not like the game.
I know I've joked a lot about Kerr is here, but I was really making fun of an FFA jackhole with that shtick. It could be argued they fell back-asswards into a HOF-caliber coach that they hired with no previous experience, but there was a lot to suggest he would be an asset running a bench.
I know even the people here in the city don't care but if the Braves didn't win that one WS then Atlanta is on the list. Hawks and Falcons have been mediocre to bad my entire life. Braves were putrid when I was a kid and then had that great run but only got the one title (Minnesota beating them one of those times). And we lost our hockey team twice - granted we never should have had either.
MCL and shoulder surgery. But that doesn't devalue the importance of their off season. They only have two players under contract after 16-17.
i think we saw that gs depends more than they would like to admit on guys like bogut and iggy and livingston this series when they were hurt or not in they were not as effective i actually think that gs is also somewhat open to age catching up with them if the dependence on those guys is as big as it seemed to be bromigo take that to the bank also clownshow bob and barnes stink the bagBruce Dickinson said:
